Lexx Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) 6:30 - watch dogs is teaching the kids to hack into ipads! the more you know! I wonder, though, why is reading a book on a e-book reader changes the way you perceive it, compared to reading it in a normal paper book? Some books I've already read in "normal" and on a e-book reader, but I can't say I felt any different.

Some books I've already read in "normal" and on a e-book reader, but I can't say I felt any different. The theory I saw after the study came out had to do with the brain making more memory connections because more senses are engaged reading a book, turning pages, smelling paper & print, etc than an ereader which does some, but not all, of that. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, not to mention a physical cue, under thumb, indicating how much content remains. PC drivers for the Xbox One controller came out today. Except you have to use a micro-USB cable, so no wireless play. All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManifestedISO Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yeah well I just priced XB1 controllers ... $60 gets you a single unit, no cable, regular batteries, what. 75 frickin' dollars gets you the Play and Charge version with rechargeable batteries and a USB cable--the only option for PC. That is kinda irritating. Presumably a generic microUSB would work with the former, but the price still comes out sixes ... unless the cable that came with my Dualshock 4 is compatible ... but then I'd need to keep replacing batteries. The only deal I see is Amazon, $60.61 for the P&C model. All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Off on a bit of a tangent, but so I bought a Wii U Pro controller yesterday, and irritatingly the charging cable is mini-USB. Who else even makes mini-USB stuff today? I think the only other mini-USB device I have is a mothballed camera from the previous decade that I have lying around somewhere, so essentially this is a new connector I'll have to keep lying around. Doubly irritating because the Wii U Gamepad has its own proprietary charging connector which is pretty much the size of a mini-USB connector. Dammit, just pick one or the other and stick with it at least. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marelooke Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) The whole CCP affair smells fishy. Letting go of the leftovers from White Wolf would make sense in a way, but there was a "who is who" devblog about CCP Xhagen just last month (oddly enough, by CCP Eterne, one of the other ones that got kicked onto the street). It seems really really weird to do something like that less than a month before firing someone. Then again, based on what the Guardian article says about management shifting blame to others and CCP Xhagen's job description maybe I shouldn't be so surprised he got sacked. It does, however, bode very very ill for the company's health if that actually was the reason. On that note, another interesting article about the CCP layoffs.

Bester Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I thought CCP were some geniuses because of what they've created. Now I see that "good" accidents happen in game dev and they're a rare case of a completely moronic group of people made something good by accident. 1 IE Mod for Pillars of Eternity: link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of it before, but they advertise Motion Blur as a "feature". I need to find out who the first person to pollute a video game with motion blur was, build a time machine, travel back in time, and murder him or her before they have a chance to implement Motion Blur and start this abysmal plague. Thankfully, most games allow you to turn it off, but who thought this was a good idea in the first place? Are there people out there that enjoy Motion Blur? Who was the genius that said "You know what games are missing? An effect that very poorly and unnaturally mimics the effect you get when you turn your head really fast, makes you disoriented, and chews up resources, all at the same time."
