    What is this obsession with framerates over 30FPS?

    Acctually the human eye isn't a camera so it doesn't see in FPS, but instead the chemical reactions with in the retna and brain. The human eye doesn't see 'frames' but instead sees 'change'. Hell, technically the human eye can detect visual discrpencies and 'jerkiness' film taken in 300...

    What is this obsession with framerates over 30FPS?

    simplest answer: Although the human brain stops really telling the diffrence between frame rate after 30 fps, for games and computers, it is more then just the fps... The framerate denotes the ease the computer has at crunching and processing the numbers and commands that are given to it...

    Poll: My friend is a Communist

    Because in a capitalist society you can own things. The value of your life is not determained by the sweat of your brow, but rather the collective of what you own. As such, rights and ownership to specific things can give an individual much renown, say, or prowess in society despite...

    Poll: My friend is a Communist

    any one that truely says 'i'm communist' truely doesn't know what communism is and is usually just some type of 'reformist' which wants change from the current system because they feel it is broken... Communism, in its most pure form, is equiality based on capability. You are only as equial...

    Did Ineffective Monetization Kill Star Wars: The Old Republic?

    That isn't because the unlimited subscription model is unsustainable... it is that they did not produce or maintain the content that made it sustainable. A major problem people are running into when developing unlimited subscription based games is that they ignore the single most important...

    Did Ineffective Monetization Kill Star Wars: The Old Republic?

    The MMO buisness model in and of itself is sustainable as proven with WoW and Eve online. The issue isn't with the buisness model but with the way individual developers approche the problems in a saturated MMO market. Rather then evolving the proven formula they are simply adding to it in an...

    Skyrim - What would you change/add?

    geomodding; thats what i would add... It just seems weird that my dragon shout that can launch a man into the air several meters away can't knock over a flimsy tent held up by a couple of wooden poles... Or that a dragon could attack a town breathing fire and death as it goes, and once...

    Aim-Down-Sight is unnecessary for realism

    It begs the question... What range do you normally shoot at? I can plink soup cans off of a fence with a .22 breach loaded unsighted at that range 3/4ths of the time. And most of my military/ex-military buddies can do the same with ease. it comes down to what range you normally shoot at...

    Aim-Down-Sight is unnecessary for realism

    well it techincally is called 'Unsighted shooting' but i've heard it called many things... shooting over the barrel, shooting down the barrel, shoot by feel... and yes, distance does come into play. But the thing is the distance you usually use unsighted shooting in is the distance we see...

    Aim-Down-Sight is unnecessary for realism

    Unfortunatly you are kind of wrong on how we hold weapons in games. Even if you where to shoot with both eyes open, the distance between our eyes simply would not allow that image to be shown the way you think how it would be shown. as to how characters acctually shoot in games: There are...

    Mid-range gaming computer specs

    I'll tell you what i was told. Reconsider Building or Buying a new computer until Late-September/Early-October. DDR4 is supposedly slated to hit commercial markets in September this year. And when that happens, everything that runs DDR3 technology is going to take a nose dive in price...
