Too many ads, didn't read. Doesn't make sense on the face of it, since new console versions are AMD GCN neo-classical architecture. New beta Radeon drivers released today anyway, first line-item is Watch Dogs improvements. I don't see the problem for the "entire PC-gaming eco-system." Edit: And anyway, it appears the 290X is a smooth-running bystander while the 780Ti chokes on texture loading.

What you did today
Sheesh, a brother's just trying to build enough confidence to last through the night, not sashay around a public square. I'd be more worried about the onset of concussion-based insanity. This community just went through it first-hand with Junior Seau, and it was tragic beyond belief.

The Funny Things Thread.
^ I laughed quite a bit, but I'm waiting until someone else says it's okay before admitting to it. For MCU fans, Director Phil Coulsen, aka Clark Gregg, did an hour-long podcast at nerdist. Some good comedy and banter if you like string theory and superheroes. I didn't realize Gregg was a fan of Avengers comics since back in the day, and that Joss Whedon made a point of hiring actors for Agents of SHIELD that have an affinity for the subject. The craziest thing was--you know that time when you learn in life your unique identifier isn't so unique--Gregg goes by his middle name, same as me, his first name is actually Robert, same as me, which is the name of his father, same as me! I knew it! I am an Agent!

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Too many games lately where you play as a librul socialist commie terrorist. Well, it was just delayed until February, probably because of that LSCT cabal. Which now puts it right in my window to play PoE. But it's okay, I can handle it: micro-role-playing on the PC, macro-shooter on console. Might be a nice gameplay balance for Valentine's Day. You know, since I'll be home. Alone. So alone.

Closer to Pillars of Eternity, with a name like SoulTaker, from that gallery website. As far as the delay, I would think the news would have blown up by now ... but I'm not seeing it really anywhere. Imagine all the third-parties that need to know now, like mobo-makers and what-not. I'd wait a week or two and get some concrete info, but I'm TeamGreen, so I know less about the vagaries of the Blue side.

What you did today
Plenty of perspective available from last night's National Mall in D.C. concert for Memorial Day. I was equal parts emotional for the families and service-members, and blue-in-the-face at the VA. God it better get worked out. Anyway thanks to all the men and women.

What are you playing now
Haha, premature uninstallation. There's probably a pharmacology initialism already. PUI. If you have PUI, talk to your doctor about Wype. Before taking Wype, tell your doctor if you have other important files on your hard drive. Wype may induce thoughts of upgrading, dreams of SSDs, or irritability. See our ad in PC Digest.

Character Rollaholic - Mea Culpa
ManifestedISO replied to IndiraLightfoot's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)What do you mean, every character I've ever played is a real person trapped in another dimension, somehow whispering their true name into my headphones.

I only do it so all the pretty girls in my dreams still respect me when I wake up, even though they never seem to be there when I do.

You were right, anyway. HardOCP's PC performance review says it's Wolfenstein's game engine, more or less.

It is definitely confusing. Still not as bad as trying to buy comics on Comixology with Paypal now that Amazon bought the former and is a competitor with the latter, even though Marvel still has a PayPal button on their digital comics purchase page. Confusing for newbs like me. I think it's better to buy prints in-person from a physical store anyway ...

What's on the idiot box... Part 2
Monaco! Awe yeah, mechanical issues for the Red Bull! Though of course, doesn't take the sting out of Ferrari having lost the plot this year. 66 laps to go, anything can happen ... and it _usually_ does.

What you did today
Man, nowhere is safe. Corporal punishment for thieving, I say. Saw the UCSB insanity all over the news here ... christ wtf. Ten different crime scenes in one place. Glad you escaped at least. Still no confirmation if it was the Sheriffs or himself that capped that nutbag.

Movies you've seen recently
That first place was worth going to just to see how buff Emily Blunt is. I hope she kicks Tom Cruise's ass all over the space-time continuum.

This seems too good to be true, especially because it may not require an investment beyond upgrading firmware. New way to write data triples SSD transfer speeds up above 1.5GB/s using 60% less power. http://www.neowin.net/news/ssd-breakthrough-means-300-speed-boost-60-less-power-usage-even-on-old-drives

Speaking of keyboards, this one might be the worst thing I've ever seen ... it makes the most ridiculous noises ... I don't want this at all.

at and pj clear victors. I was gonna give at double points for a mic-drop exit, but he came back. Definitely the most well-spelled back-and-forth this year, at least.

Conversations in PoE should be risky
I hope they avoid locking a conversation to combat. You know the ones, the unavoidable pre-battle dialogue that forces lesser players like me to keep skipping because I keep dying. I understand the mechanic, and its necessity at times, but it devalues the encounter to re-live it by skipping through it *ahem* a dozen or more times.
