    Project Denver

    And soon she will realize that she is only doing this because it is so trendy and new and that she doesn't have to be so stupid to ruin her eyes and carriage for watching TV and browsing the web. And what is with the tons of libraries where you can't even get a build for a eight year old...

    Project Denver

    Again, you cannot just recompile a complex application like a game for a different architecture. There are many things which are coded specifically for a CPU architecture, like cache alignment, instrinsics and so on. A game also uses many external libraries without code access which all have to...

    Project Denver

    Or maybe 99% of the people will realize pretty soon that they actually only need a smartphone for phone calls, crappy photos, music and maybe some eMails and thus will not any longer waste 700 Euro for browsing the web on a microscopic display once a week?

    Well that is nothing but wishful thinking. It takes a huge amount of resources to port a game to any platform.

    Project Denver

    Your idea to magicaly recompile things like game code for a different CPU architecture is simply absurd. And even if someone decides to invest the huge amount of resources to port for example game code over to run on ARM, there are still several dozen libraries which ALL would have to be ported...

    It will still be several times slower than low-end x86-64 CPUs. That's only because the smartphone market emerged. We are talking about complex software here, not some worthless garbage apps which comprise to 95% of this number.

    How does this turn around anything? There are exactly ZERO applications for an ARM Windows. There are exactly ZERO facts which support the believe that ARM/Nvidia can deliver a high performance CPU that is competitive to modern x86-64 CPUs. The fastest ARM CPUs today are many times slower than...

    What in hell makes them believe that they can compete with x86-64 when even IBM can barely hold it's own with their Power processors in a niche market?! The only reason why the ARM architecture became so successful is because of the rise of the smartphone market. However the complexity for...

    Tired of average Joe games? New Battleground Europe!

    Yes, the game is harder to learn than most other games. But this is not unusual considering the complexity. The best way to get into the game is to join a squad right away. Everything will be explained to you then by the assigned mentor.

    Tired of average Joe games? New Battleground Europe!

    You obviously did not comprehend the most basic game mechanics then. There is no need to "run for 20 minutes" in this game. No, it is about coordinating huge battles with your team mates with tactical and even strategic means, by using all arms in a deep and persistent gameplay experience. In...

    Descent 1 and 2 was the best game ever.

    Well Freespace isn't a simulation either! ;)

    A major update (1.32) has just been released which introduced player placed objects like gun fortifications. The Free Trial should still be available.

    Descent 1 and 2 was the best game ever.

    Yep, Descent was a true revolution for graphics and a great game too. It was one if not THE first true 3D game (with dynamic lighting).

    Tired of average Joe games? New Battleground Europe!

    Make sure to take the tutorial of the game serious. It is quite hard for a new player to get into the gane the first few days. You can always ask questions in the help channel and in the game forums of course. The most efficient way to learn about the game is to join a squad. Simply ask for...

    Tired of average Joe games? New Battleground Europe!

    The game has equipment up to 43/44 now with the Tiger, Sherman76, M10, Churchill7, M1 AT-Gun, Pak40, 17pdr, Spit9 and so on. I don't think that including even later equipment would add much to the gameplay.

    Tired of average Joe games? New Battleground Europe!

    Yeah, it was called WWIIOnline beforehand. There are some videos on youtube where you might be able to see the differences better. The new version isn't a complete revamp of the game, but the game now has: - gadoll physics - dynamic shadows - higher detailed vegetation - much better building...

    EVE!

    Well I quit over a month ago. It simply got too time consuming and it started to bore me to be honest. The problem is that it comes almost always comes down to the question which side owns the most ISKs and playtime. There is simply no way to improve your gameplay skills after a certain...

    Will a seasonic 430w power a 4850?

    Yes, it will definitely be enough if the rest of the system is not exotique. You can clearly forget the claim that "a 4850 requires a 450w power supply".

    Error C2143 in Visual Studio 2008 (Resolved)

    It is quite common to get compile errors in the libraries when you forget to close regions in your code.

    Tired of average Joe games? New Battleground Europe!

    This is the first time that I get tired by all the big titles that are being displayed at E3 right now. Always the same shoebox superhero-shooters, with their scripted, interactive movie action and the same old point and click games and MMOs. Anyway, I discovered a MMO called Battleground...
