Evening Reading
by Jeff Mattas, Jan 14, 2011 5:00pm PSTAnd just like that, another week's worth of 2011 has been successfully strong-armed through the wood-chipper. Fargo-style. Not to worry though. There are still fifty glorious weeks left, which, of course, means fifty more weeks worth of new game releases to look forward to.
And speaking of dismemberment, I'm pretty excited to get my hands on a copy of Dead Space 2, soon. I've been doing my best to steer clear of the media and hype about the game so far (so as not to ruin the surprises), but the preliminary word on the street has been pretty positive. Here's hoping!
But enough speculation. I believe there is a chatty that would like to make your acquaintance. Play nicely, everyone.

Due to popular demand, here's a gameplay video that features no camping. I also decided to switch up my loadout a bit. Nearly a flawless but I got shot in the back which tends to be a danger when you move around. It was my fuck up though as I found when I watched the replay. You can hear footsteps which should have warned me but I guess I wasn't paying attention to it.
My loadout is listed in the video description. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS_sctYaLdU&hd=1

It doesn't do anything remotely groundbreaking, it's just incredibly fun to fight.
I think a lot of big business dev's could learn a thing or two from the end of that game.
It seems that too many end bosses rely on being visually impressive, but then make the mistake of introducing some completely new mechanic right at the end of the game, which is often no fun. Sticking you on a big turret for example. Just have the player use all the skills they used for the rest of the game, but make them use them all, and make it fast paced and challenging.
Any other games with notable end bosses? (sub bosses, end of level bosses, and boss'less climaxes need not apply)

So I just hit lvl 9, and am enjoying the game even despite the somewhat lag heavy servers.
Anyone else pick this up for PS3 instead of PC?

How do you justify the cost of an ipad and what do you ultimately use it for?
As a geek, I want one. I really really want one. But I know my penchant for buying gadgets that will get little use than I had originally planned. As a systems engineer, i can see where it could come in handy, but i'm having a hard time justfying the cost of even the base model.
So I ask you guys. Is the high cost of an iPad really worth the use you get out of it?

Okay I just watched the first episode of SG:U
It looks interesting but two big complaints:
The Stargate season premiere doesn't have the stargate travel effect?! Come on.
The second one is kind of a rant on how TV shows are being produced lately. I'm just not a fan of how shows are designed these days. I'll call it the 24 effect since the first show I noticed doing it was 24. One storyline gets about 20 minutes of airtime and 4 other ministories get 5 minute plot times. It's terribly annoying and gives the feeling that I'm getting less for my time invested. I don't want cliffhangers every show. I also don't need every single scene being filmed in shakycam. I doubt either of these will be fixed in later episodes so I'll learn to accept it but I really dislike it.
It was pretty awesome seeing the SG-1 team -Teal'c make an appearance for this.

Has Nvidia released any pricing info fro their new cards yet? I'm upgrading my PC finally and though I'll be waiting until the new cards to come out to get a last generation card since their prices will try I hope, I'm just trying to determine if they will be worth the price. If any of you hardware fans could help me out with any advice that would be great!
