Evening Reading
by Brian Leahy, Dec 30, 2010 5:00pm PSTThis post, like the one I'll be posting tomorrow night at your regular chatty time is little more than a comments reset to make sure things stay fresh and smooth over the New Years break.
Over break, I hope to hit level 80 in World of Warcraft so I can actually start digging into the high-level Cataclysm content. I'm about to hit 78 and I've been doing mostly quest marathons mixed in with some random dungeons. Queuing as a healer makes that go by so quickly.
Talk amongst yourselves.

So has anyone used this yet? I read Engadget's review and all things considered I think it's pretty impressive. I feel like I should support them and give it a go. All-in-all, I think it's a fantastic idea in that eliminates the need for expensive hardware to play games. In the future I imagine it will just get better and better.
I can't help but wonder if a service like this took hold in a major way, if it would somehow hinder the pace at which computer graphics are improving. Thoughts on this? Thoughts on the service in general?

Cthulhu Saves the World is now up on Xbox Live Indie Games for a whopping 240pts ($3)!
Before you read any further, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-OGUgxdAYM
I've been playing it a good bit today and it's a lot like Breath of Death VII (upgraded version of the engine, same dev team, etc) but so, so much better. If you've got a smooth 400pts sitting around and you need some good stuff to blow it on, think about CStW, BoD7, and Epic Dungeon. All three will set you back a grand total of $5 combined and you'll get TONS of enjoyment out of them.
Buy Now! (Or grab the trial. whateva!)

Can get a 6870 for $220 but I know it's slower. 6950 for $300 and flash to 6970? is it 50% faster than the 5870?
How important is Tessellation going to be for the next, say 2 years of games. Will this generation's consoles hold things back?
I gotta go to bed, but curious if anyone has thoughts (will check back in the morning)...
Thanks!

With GFW radio/Brodeo/idle thumbs gone for sometime now, and the PC Gamer Mag podcast as lame as it is, what else is out there to get our fix?? Again, I love weekend confirmed for the general and console discussion, but fuck I can't help but miss Remo and the guys.

Just curious. CS is still one of the most popular shooters in the world, so I have to imagine that Valve is prepping another one for release next year or in 2012.

He's got a limitied surface to game on, so I hear the raw sounds of the mouse gnashing into the mat after he's picked it up for more scroll every few seconds. I don't hear him picking it up. lol
It is like the 2010 version of MWM's brutal medieval bashing he's posted a couple times.
The gnashing of mice. 2010's badasses.
In before what was he playing, Expert L4D2 with what he calls some idiots; which means they totally are.

Had great turn out! We started around 7PM Eastern and finished up eight minutes after Midnight.
Fun times - the new changes to the enemy force made things REALLY interesting, and we had some really good extended firefights. Looking forward to more awesome sessions in 2011.
