General Gaming / RE:What would a hypothetical PS4 or PSP2 resemble?

« on: May 30, 2007, 01:55:39 PM »

The next psp will use that nifty screen sony just showcased.  (the paper thin one)  The ps4 will be a mimic of the wii with 1.5x ps3 graphics.

Am I the only one reccomending a front projector?  You can pick up a pretty bright dlp projector with screen and mount for 1500.  I am not up to speed with the current models out there, but I know this is definitely a good option for you.  A 100 inch screen is certainly better than a 42 inch screen.

Damn I wish I could go...  UR is so isolated from Rochester.  Ugh, I'll get one eventually.

General Gaming / RE:I don't understand this Console Gamer vs. PC Gamer nonsense.

I do prefer the keyboard and mouse setup for shooters (now perhaps the Wiimote will pass that up) and I generally enjoy the higher caliber of graphics (hardware permitting). One part of PC gaming that I've always hated is the whole installation bit. If I buy a game I want to pop it in the disc drive and play. I find companies who make PC games are usually very lazy and sloppy and will not bother optimizing games because amazing hardware is available. When in a closed domain (console), you are forced to innovate to bring a certain experience to that platform. This is something I generally find lacking on the PC game end aside from a few very unique cases.

All in all, the whole fight between the two sides is completely retarded and I hate the argument. Going to college at a really technical institute (RIT) I constantly get sh!t for being a console gamer, and it just makes no sense. I am proudly a gamer, I will play any and all systems without discrimination, from PC to console to handheld.

Nice to see another rochester student.  I'm a UR student myself.

I agree, each system has its benefits.  I like playing on the PC as well as console, but for games where graphics make a big impact, I would rather play it on my pc because of the higher resolution.

General Gaming / RE:My Mac is a better PC than my PC...

« on: July 13, 2006, 12:17:09 PM »

I dont really care about the windows vs OSX argument because of the nature of it.  I know that I and many others get along fine with a Windows station without the "tens of millions" of people who get infected with viruses and other malicious apps.  Another good reason is that OSX locks you down to low permissions, similar to how Vista will work.  Security is a broad encompassing field.  It is more than just the OS.  Companies secure their networks the same way regardless of the workstation OS.

Well well, they switch because Windows is able to run on a mac.  Defeats the whole OS argument.

The difference between Mac and PC is becoming smaller and smaller.  Now that they have switched to x86, I think of them just as a vendor like Dell.  Assembling parts any person can do on their own.  Once Vista coems out, Bios will slowly go away and Apple will have a hard time distinguishing themselves from PC's.  They will still have OSX but what's the point if you are going to do productivity for your company or game on a windows platform?

I really think PC's are a better bargain.  Their versatility, in mind, is more valuable than OSX and its perceived better security.  I don't even like OSX.  Linux is a much better build of Unix in my mind.  Get that KDE running...man *drools*

To quote the title of the thread.... "My Mac is a better PC than my PC.."

I have an answer.  Thats because you have a sh*tty PC.

The person above me did a good job explaining AMD vs Intel.

PC's are better in my mind because they are cheaper and I can custom tailor build them to my specs.  Not Intel's, Apple's or whoever else.  Plus, Windows is a great operating system for compatibility and gaming.  To say it is insecure is to be ignorant.  MacOS has just as many security problems as Windows, the only difference is the fact that it makes much more sense to code a virus for Windows because of the larger penetration.  Linux has the same problems.  You should ALWAYS have a firewall and antivirus no matter what OS you use.  Now that Macs use x86, there is no reason to buy one anymore.  Whatever a MAC can do, my PC can do better.

I sent one in...took about 2 minutes.

Just tell them why you don't like it.  Dont try to argue your cause by insulting them.  Just make it short and sweet.  If enough of this happens they will pull it.

Some more mainstream acceptance of the revolution.  Too bad they focused on the supposedly I LOVE HALO 2 image.

I don't think you guys understand.  This is not intended to be the actual controller.  It is merely a mockup demonstration.  The whole point is to make an argument towards the centrifugal feature.

This photo is fake and is just used as a representation of the idea they are trying to get across.

I think it would be hard to rotate the controller and play at the same time.  The idea behind it is unique and very much like the rumble pack.

NWR Feedback / RE:Way to generate revenue for PGC

« on: November 17, 2003, 01:46:55 PM »

True but this is a definate income.  Say everyone in the forum helped out and clicked it once a day?  I dont know how much traffic there is but that could generate some money!  Anyway just an idea.  I know the banner ads pay way less than 60 cents cpm plus traffic.

NWR Feedback / Way to generate revenue for PGC

« on: November 16, 2003, 04:01:31 PM »

Check out the site www.shareadspace.com.  If you put a link on your intro page and had people click it to get in or just have it somewhere for people to click daily you could generate some money to pay server costs.  They pay 60 cents per 1000 clicks.  Plus you get advertising too.  I dont post this to spam but please consider it.  If you feel really generous maybe you could pm for my refferal link.
Thanks!

I found this on the internet and i thought it might be useful for some people.  I have already invested money in it and I don't think it is a scam.  Check it out at www.gotmatrix.com.  Oh and you can get cash equivalent too.  

PS: I am not spamming, I am just showing my find.

tell me what you think
