So I got a Nvidia Shield TV recently which comes with a 3 month subscription to Geforce Now (NVidia Game Streaming service). Playing Tomb Raider, Darksiders 2, Batman series, honestly, it's bloody good. There is no noticeable lag in the controls and i'm hard pressed to tell (graphically) that...

Well the title is 'A Helping Hand' which leans towards the 'Flipping the bird'. However the caption is 'No need to be a dick about it' which leans towards a dick. I'm gonna go with 'It's a dick' cause i'm childish and it makes me laugh.        _ _...

Gotta agree with most of the comments. It actually felt a bit clumsy. I never got that feeling from any of the fights in the Raid movies. It just wasn't as slick. Felt like the actors were holding back for fear of injuring one another (and maybe they were :-) ) The best Samurai choreography...

It wasn't really a defence, it was more pointing out that Ethernet isn't some dead technology like the article claimed it was. If the wireless really is bad, then that is something that should be fixed and isn't acceptable. As for your wiring situation, Poweline Adaptors. Seriously. They're...

Gonna post this here as well as the Facebook comments section. Honestly, I find this review poor. Really hasn't done much research. - Shrink wrap left on the controller? Really? Took me all of a minute to get it all off. - Not sure why you were expecting there to be a toolset like LBP...

Indeed :-) There are also communities for finding games, such as http://www.penandpapergames.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/17-Find-or-Advertise-Games-in-Your-Area where you can sign up, put your details, location, requirements etc in and then you appear in a directory of people looking for...

They actually have that in some minor way in 4E. Psionic chars have 'power points' that they use to augment their basic powers. You have a set number of power points per encounter but you can spend them in any way you want (so you can repeat the same power if you like), and you can augment with...

http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=maptool WOTC are also already making their own one. http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/26286405/The_Dungeons__Dragons_Virtual_Table And they do work very well. I have a regular once a week internet game with a group from all over the UK...

Best advice, don't listen to what anyone says. All they'll do is ladel their opinions on you and that may or may not be any use whatsoever. Also, not everyone hates 4e. Just as many people like it as hate it, just the people who hate are more vocal :-/ Personally, I listened to the Penny...

It needs to be both. I DM in an online group and it works great (we've been going strong for 3+ years now and DM duties rotate and all sorts). Very flexible and great for me as in my local area in the UK there is very little way of finding a face to face group. That said, I recently ran a few...

'You heard him, gamers'. Jamie is a she :-)

I can answer a few of these questions :-) Yes flash changed (see post above). Yes it uses the graphics card (Adobe did this, not Epic, Epic are just making use of Adobe's latest advancement, see above). However the fact that Epic did this so quickly, means that they are good! I don't...

Indeed, it is a massive step. Basically, yes, Flash changed. Flash Player 11 is the biggest leap forward in flashes technology in..... probably ever :-/ There are lots of articals about it, but it is official and developed by Adobe. Google 'Stage 3D'. In the alpha of Flash Player 11 it was also...

Flash Player 11 offers low level GPU support. Which, in short, means that now all rendering is done by your graphics card, not by the CPU. So yes, it is real and yes this basically does mean you can do just about anything graphically in flash now. Still limited by the single threaded nature...

This game will be terrible like all the other 'spiritual successors' to the X-Com games. At the end of the day, X-Com was awesome, but it was done and the same thing done again won't be awesome anymore. For the same reason that the official X-Com games couldn't just keep releasing the same...
