    Win10 Preview install problems

    Is the Start Screen gone? That thing was disgusting.

    Demo of "anti-gravity" using a gyroscope

    Like a bloody gyroscope :D

    Demo of "anti-gravity" using a gyroscope

    Doesn't matter where you are, you cannot move using torque alone. The only thing you can do is rotate in place. To move you need thrust.

    Demo of "anti-gravity" using a gyroscope

    Flywheels create torque, nothing else. You need to either push or pull something to create linear thrust, something even a fancy gyroscope can't do.

    Gaming on consoles: surprisingly good

    A 720p 30FPS hardware computer connected to a TV costs a lot less and performs better than a console. It accepts ALL types controllers, can be cleaned by the user and doubles as a media server. The only reason I can think of to get a console is for the exclusives, but that just boils down to...

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare... your thoughts?

    Well, in Blops 2 Ghosts I didn't have a work-around so I was forced to view all the cinematics on youtube. There is no practical problem now except for the extra wait at the end of the cutscene, but there is a fault somewhere and I'd like to know what it is. Edit: My apologies. I had this...

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare... your thoughts?

    Yes, in fact if I turn off preloading altogether it glitches out the moment the loading is done. With preloading on during the cutscene it plays just fine, again until the loading is done, then it glitches out completely. With preloading after the cutscene it plays without a hitch with the...

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare... your thoughts?

    I have the opposite problem. Once the loading is completed the cutscene starts severely stuttering and the audio goes so far off sync I honestly can't tell who is saying what. Preloading has to be enabled and has to be set after the cutscene, otherwise when it finishes loading it instantly...

    So I need some suggestions.

    Sniper Elite 2, Quake 4, one of the Hitman games, ye olde Freedom Fighters, Half Life 2, Far Cry 1/2 If something else floats your boat Theme Hospital is on sale now on GoG.com for €2.39 http://www.gog.com/game/theme_hospital

    OFFICIAL Assassin’s Creed: Unity (Discussion)

    It's a complete mess. The difficulty curve doesn't help either. I managed to become adept at fighting against groups but now I'm at the Notre Dame mission and they send out those pistol guys who do nothing but stand a few meters away constantly reloading. They have a 100% hit-rate, unless you...

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare... your thoughts?

    What are your thoughts on that arcade fighter-jet thing? One button to make it go faster, one button to make it go slower, yaw side-to-side to move and an unlimited quantity of one-shot-one-kill missiles that can autotarget both air and ground units. Why isn't it used anywhere else? It did an...

    Killer PSU?!

    ATX12V certification requires Over Voltage Protection. The highest setting allowed is 15.6 V on the 12 V output (typically around 15 V), and reaching 15 Volts is likely extremely damaging to components. International safety regulations require Over Current Protection, which states that no...

    Killer PSU?!

    The best way to rule out the PSU is to replace it and see if there is improvement. Corsair is a good brand but when my HX750 died it was only 2 years old. Nothing on this planet is as destructive as a faulty PSU can be, except, maybe volcanoes.

    Guinness World Records reports Call of Duty: Best selling video game ever

    Guinness World Records didn't, The Inquirer.net did. Apparently, best-selling game series = best game ever. This enrages my PC master race genes.
