Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Aug 19, 2008 3:08am PDTHow is it going folks? Busy day yesterday with more TF2 details, with an almost CounterStrike-esque mode coming. And some of the teasing that GeorgeB gives to Shackers is actually coming to fruition, with this announcement that the original Duke3D is coming to Xbox Live Arcade soonish. And the indomitable Chrono Trigger was dated for November 28th. Plus Nick talks about WoW drift and the figurative elves leaving the Middle Kingdom.

He gets his burrito and he pulls a manwasher and completely removes ALL the foil before starting to eat it. I didn't even tell him he was doing it wrong, I kind of wanted to just watch and see what happened. It of course completely fell apart and he had to eat it with a fork. I hope he's not a shacker and reading this.

Pretty sad how much shady shit has gone down thanks to Bush. The thing that bothers me more then anything is the total lack of him having to answer to anyone, apparently ever. Then the fact that McCain is even a possibility, knowing that he will continue operating in mostly the same way.
Such a shame really. Douchebag doesn't care about anyone but him and his friends.

Has anybody tried this with their PS3? It looks appealing, but I'm a bit afraid of messing up my DLNA setup.

Anyone have any other 'love songs' they rather like and want to share? I'm sincerely curious.

A new piece of silicon called HYDRA which is basically a GPU load balancer -- it reroutes DX calls to attached GPUs on the fly. This is somewhat like SLI, except it looks like it's a lot more dynamic; Looks like you could conceivably mix multiple generations of cards and the balancer will adapt to the load bearing capabilities to each card.
This is pretty exciting stuff, and a pretty unique approach. They also say that there's no overhead to the approach and that you'll get "linear scaling for up to 4 cards" which is quite hot.
Wonder if it'll ever make it to market?

Unfortunately it doesn't work with vista x64.. the installer won't let you even install it but I e-mailed the company and got this as a response:
Hello,
PlayOn has never been tested on XP or Vista 64-bit versions. We don't even
have any test machines to do that with in our labs. However, since several
beta users have requested it, we have packaged up a special test installer
that allows the install to continue on these machines. We have no idea if it
will work once installed (or if it will even get through the install), but
here it is for you all to test out. Your feedback is appreciated. Please
reply back and let us know how it goes!!!
It also may be a good idea to set a system restore point before you try to
install, in case you want to roll back your system in the event something
goes wrong.

I just loaded up Deus Ex and it froze on load up and a high pitched whine came from the speakers. I turned off the comp via the case's off switch (not the power supply's) and turned it back on. Now the monitor isn't getting a video feed, i don't hear windows starting, etc. Did I just blow up my motherboard?

Login and play, seriously, half of you haven't played a single game yet.
I should be on for a bit here, so someone come play.
