    Who plays Combat Arms?

    If you are going to play a free fps then you might as well play quake live. It's the pinnacle and if you're getting shit on then you're more than likely getting stomped by someone better.

    C++ programming

    it's the portability that is the problem more than the speed. if you're using the STL already you might as well just use cin.get(); or cin.sync(); cin.ignore();

    COD 2012: it's Treyarch's turn aka Black Ops 2

    the only COD i'd buy is if they literally just re-released COD1 or 2.

    ePSXe and modern hardware?

    If you ever want to play when not at your computer and have a reasonably fast Android phone, you can buy fpsece. It started off a little slow at launch but my Droid X pretty much runs everything at more than full speed now. I've beaten FFT and FF9 on it so far. It's even multi-threaded for dual...

    ePSXe and modern hardware?

    Try a different GPU plugin or playing with the plugin settings. It's almost always the GPU plugin with a problem like this.

    Email got hacked what to do?

    Look into using something like gmail, it has a security feature where it won't let a different computer log into your account. Instead it will text you (or call if you want) a code to confirm it's really you. edit: oops, 10 days old post. :(

    Little Alt Code Utility

    You might up causing some page faults as a result of trying to trim the working set, worrisome if you're counting precious milliseconds :) What I was getting at is that the seemingly large working set of .NET programs isn't worth playing with. The OS will reclaim the uneeded memory for other...

    Little Alt Code Utility

    You can call SetProcessWorkingSetSize() to try and go lower yet, but it's pointless really, you will likely damage performance if anything in trying. It's best to leave the runtime and OS to their own devices really, .NET programs using a "lot" of memory is well known and stripping the...

    C++ small tutorial

    it doesn't have to be the same function. the return is used for the argument. this is C++/CLI (.NET), not native C++

    Dark Souls PC Petition climbing fast

    If it's in the cards then it's in the cards, something as flaky as an online petition isn't convincing anyone. I would like to play it but these things are a waste of effort.

    yeah and how many signatures are bogus? petitions do horse shit, waste of time.

    Game Developer Choice Awards for RAGE hijacked by Advisory Commitee negligence

    Skyrim's engine is a fucking abomination and MegaTexture is a neat idea but it alone can't carry RAGE on it's back for tech. Crysis 2 and BF3 I agree with completely in tech. No idea where BF3 is for audio...
