    Niantic Releases Screenshots, Details For Pokemon GO

    It's almost certain Niantic will re-use the database of places they have for Ingress, which can be played worldwide. So region-locking shouldn't be an issue, unless Nintendo enforces it.

    The HairWorks Debacle Explained

    Also interesting to add: TressFX Hair on the other hand is open source, which allowed Nvidia to implement it themselves as well. Can't see why any sane developer would choose the Hairworks solution, unless there's a bag of money involved. Note: at the point of development for the Witcher 3 I...

    How Long Would It Take You to Play Through Your Steam Games?

    There's also a simple Easter egg when you hover over the total hours, or at least there is for me. http://steamleft.com/span/76561197991976849 "5086 continuous hours" "Watch the entirety of Star Trek (all TV shows and movies) 8 times" Not all too surprising for me. Those humble bundles...

    Game Theory: Video Games Predict YOUR FUTURE!

    An interesting addition would've been Eve Online, which is set around the year 23000. Still a nice fitting together of games though!

    The Pickup Artist

    It's been a while since I've laughed so hard at a comic. Thanks for that! :)

    Titanfall Dev Explains The Game's 35 GB of Uncompressed Audio

    Emm... That's where hardware accelleration for audio comes into play. Only on old PC's (let's say 5 years ago) this may cause some small hiccups, but I think that such a PC would have problems just rendering the graphics as well (unless a new graphics card was installed during its lifetime)...

    Jimquisition: The Adblock Episode

    I've never used AdBlock in my life. That said, I've pretty much always used NoScript, which disables all JavaScript and plugins unless I allow the domain hosting the content. I've got that to protect my computer from the filth on the internet, but it has the side-effect to usually block all ads...

    Who here will not be playing GTAV?

    I've only got (and only want) a PC, so I obviously won't be getting the game. But even when it comes out on PC, I never had the need to play a game from the moment it comes out. I prefer waiting until there are decent discounts on such games. I also have the need to relate to the main character...

    Grand Theft Auto 5 Review - People Suck

    I'm probably in a minority of gamers, but I do need to be able to sympathise with the character(s) I'm playing with in order to enjoy a game. For that reason, I'm glad that some reviewers still dare to do an actual review on what they liked and what ticked them off. I think it's a bit harsh to...

    You May Recognize The Escapist's New Editor-In-Chief

    Looking forwards to what you guys have in store to revitalise the website! Right now, I just think that the publisher's club is a bit lacking in behind the scenes stuff - unless I'm overlooking something.

    Poll: Does anyone remember RuneScape?

    Sorry for the semi-necro post, but I felt like I really had to reply to this topic. This game helped me achieve my current level of knowledge of the English language, encouraged me to learn to make websites due to me joining a fan site (and to a great extent programming in general, which is...

    What next gen console will you be getting? Xbox or ps

    Console: Neither. I'm going to stick to my PC. Reason 1: Console games are way more expensive than getting the game on Steam, HumbleBundle, GOG, ... Reason 2: Backwards-compatibility. If I want to play an old game, there's a very good chance that it'll still run. Otherwise, I can just emulate...

    The Unofficial Friendly Steam Trading Thread

    I've got 2 -10% Toki Tori 2+ vouchers that I'm never going to use. Anybody interested?
