I would never go back to 8.1 over 10. Then again, my only issues are horrendous boot times and the occasional mouse cursor disappearing (lock/unlock brings it back). I do hate some of the apps though, like the calculator...and I wish the ages-old sound recorder was still there. Oh well, time to move on to Linux.

That's exactly what I just said, though they aren't cancelling it, just not introducing a new model...and it would be the Shield Tablet 2, not the Shield 2 (which they also never made).

They aren't cancelling the Shield line, just the Shield K1 and not making a new model. Shield Android TV is still going...wish I would have gotten a tablet before though. I also have the portable. Nice little system.

Can we please not use random Twitter accounts for "facts?" And the only thing CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said, which you have to find through the link on the page that's linked in the twitter feed (http://wccftech.com/nvidia-longer-interested-making-mobile-socs/) is this - “We are no longer interested in that market. Anybody can build smartphones, and we’re happy to enjoy these devices, but we’ll let someone else build them.” Nvidia is not dropping out of the mobile market (ever heard of a laptop?), they are still pushing the Nvidia Shield Android TV (which I own two of) and plan on expanding GeForce Now on that platform.

Also, the guy who you just quoted from Twitter thinks that the article linked makes it *more likely* that Nvidia is working on the NX.

I don't know what semiconductors have to do with anything...but according to Microsoft, it's a new console. The APU is not the same as the one in the original Xbox One, otherwise the difference between the two would just be a software upgrade (apart from the UHD Blu-ray drive) - so it does count as a difference chip, because it is different.

Suicide Squad is not a Deadpool ripoff. They are really nothing alike, other than someone gets rescued and there are guns and a sword. Anywho...


Star Trek: Beyond - 6/10

This is actually the first Star Trek movie (or anything, really) that I've seen. Probably never would have seen it, but it was part of a team celebration thing from my job. It was fun to watch I guess, but pretty generic. Cool use of Sabotage by Beastie Boys though, but you knew that was coming anyway from the commercials. Also they way they chopped up the song was stupid, they should have just played the whole thing. Maybe it would have been better if I had seen the other movies, maybe not. Whatever.

*Axon 7, rather. But now HTC is making the next Nexus...might have to get in on that.

I've always though Bokeem Woodbine looked like a buffer version of Dave Chappelle, well, before Dave Chappelle became the buffer version of Dave Chappelle.

There is no source for that (which would be huge news) though, it's just placed there with no explanation. The three new console chips that are not the current consoles (at the time) are Xbox One S, Project Scorpio, and PS4 Neo.

The first scene is just Waller talking to the dude about forming the team over dinner, and you get brief intros for Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Diablo and Killer Croc. I kinda disagree about Joker though.  This version is just pure evil, much like the comic book and Arkham video game series Joker, just not very comedic. He didn't need to be in the movie much though, he's not part of the Suicide Squad anyway, this was to show why Harley is the way she is, and most likely introduce him before the next Batman movie. At least we'll finally get the same Joker in more than one film.

Seen Suicide Squad twice now, think I liked it even better the second time. If they do end up with a Justice League vs Suicide Squad movie, that could be pretty amazing. But, Superman.

Suicide Squad - 7.5/10

The hate for this movie is completely unjustified. I have read some really bad reviews for this movie, and it's blatantly obvious that it's just people trying to pile on the bandwagon and say that hated it even more that the last person, and it's just bullshit. It's a comic book movie about a team of villains who have to save the world from one of their own. It's the best DC movie since the Dark Knight Trilogy. I went into it expecting to hate it, and especially expecting to hate Joker, but I came out of it really liking it, and really liking Joker. Some of the villains are pretty boring (Boomerang), and some are under-utilized (Killer Croc), but some were used really well and actually developed - Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Enchantress, Diablo, even Joker to an extent. For being a movie that tells the origins of a handful of villains, makes them form a team, and has the team win the day, all within two hours, it gets the job done pretty nicely. It's certainly no worse than Avengers Age of Ultron, and there's a reason for the huge difference between the IMDB rating and the Rotten Tomato rating.

Suicide Squad was good.

MysticGohan is the only person who doesn't believe that NX will be powered by Nvidia. Nothing in that picture makes any sense.

1140
The Wii U does not do GameCube emulation, in can play GameCube games natively, it just doesn't - unless you have Nintendont installed on your Wii U. The Wii U chip family is the Wii family is the GameCube family. Same processors, different clockspeeds (and core counts).

1141
Also, we are at the point where Nvidia would have denied any involvement with the NX by now, and Nintendo would have released a statement about speculation to the press.

1142
Umm, Nvidia does make CPUs (licensed technology from ARM) so that Twitter post has no merit. Tegra = CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.

1143
The original Xbox did not use an SoC. It was basically a custom micro ATX motherboard with a custom 733 MHz Intel Pentium 3, custom Nvidia GeForce 3 GPU, standard IDE HDD, standard IDE DVD-ROM and custom USB controllers.

1144
Nvidia has had SoCs for years. X1 is their 6th generation Tegra SoC.

That ZTE Axiom 7 looks great...especially for $399.

1146
The home docking station doesn't necessarily mean that you get more CPU/GPU power, it could just mean that more actual electric power to charge the system and play at the same time, and to attach to your TV. Or it could end up being something along the lines of SLI, or it could be something entirely different that no one's thought of yet.

1147
The next movie is Avengers: Infinity War, the one after that is going to be a different movie altogether, according to the Russos.

Del Lago - Resident Evil 4

Since it recently came out on PS3/Xbox 360 and will soon be out on PS4/Xbone I'll submit it for acceptance. Such a cool boss fight.


1149
That would require the developer to implement SLI support too though, which is already pretty rare on the PC these days, and the costs outweigh the benefits (for example, if you get 30 FPS in a game with a single GTX 1080, you're not going to get 60 FPS when you have two running in SLI). Battery life should not be that big of a concern. Having a single screen (so the device does not need to fold) means you can have a much larger battery.

1150
It will be an Nvidia Tegra chip. You can believe it will be AMD if you want to, but it won't. AMD has essentially no mobile presence, Nvidia makes the most powerful mobile chip you can buy. Nintendo is not going to pay for AMD to do R&D on a new technology, they're going to go with the company that's already making it happen - and this could be perfect for both companies because Nvidia has recently dropped out of the cell phone market.
