EpicNewman got a reaction from WikiForce in Are consoles actually as bad as most PC enthusiasts say?
I can objectively say that PC is the better of the two. I have owned every single console since the colecovision (aside from the dumpster fire that is virtua boy) and back in the day i would have handed it to the console. It was turn on and play, no worries. Today however there are game issues like some have noted, day one patches, 50+GB downloads before you can even play, the fact your system needs updates. The console game (no pun intended) is no longer what it was. Gone are the days you unpack a new console, open a new game and are gaming and having fun in 5 minutes or less. The video game console has become a compact computer with outdated specs, small slow hard drives, all the downfalls of PC gaming, and none of the PC's upgrade ability. As well as the fact digital download (steam and the like) usually have great sales to bring down prices of games, while console games usually never see more than a 5 dollar discount even after a few years. Being Canadian the price of console gaming, cheaper for the console, heaps more for the games, is making it less and less viable for my wallet. I've had my computer now for 4 years, I saw AAA titles starting to fall a bit in frames, so I bought a well priced GTX 1070 FTW (using the sale of my 780ti to bring the price under $200 mind you) and now I'm good for a few more years at least. My brand new PS4 that was $299 (boxing day sale, usually $350+), plus $50 (boxing day price, usually $75) for another controller and $80 for NHL 17 has left me wanting, seeing some terrible frame rates sometimes and an investment way more than my PC graphics upgrade cost me.

EpicNewman reacted to zMeul in GTX 1060 and RX 480 retested (spoilers, the red team wins!)
wohoo red team wins .. except you completely ignored the conclusion: price of each card
here, the GTX1060 3GB model is cheaper than the RX480 4GB - although I do not recommend the 3GB variant of the 1060 at all
same deal goes for the GTX1060 6GB, it's slightly cheaper (barely) than the RX480 8GB model
and the STEAM HW survey tells the story: GTX1060 is the card that sold http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/
November: GTX1060 stands at 1.53% while RX480 is at 0.37% - more surprisingly, GTX1070 has 1.59%
I'm sorry AMD, you lost - and AMD lost because they did not offer any competition for the GTX1070 and GTX1080
and you know what's sad about AMD's penetration in the market? the HD79xx series, ~5y old cards, have 1.24%

EpicNewman got a reaction from PyroBlast13 in Nvidia Surround With Gtx 1060
Well yeah 3 of the same monitor would be best, and hey if down the road you can get a 1080 it would rock even more frames too, I meant in no way to seem like I was bashing it or anything, cheers

EpicNewman reacted to Naeaes in I can't embrace digital downloads
You can always burn your Steam downloads onto blurays if you want.

EpicNewman got a reaction from Inspirational in Help me decide!
That Phanteks looks smooth and seems to have a lot of storage options that are nicely hidden away (and the light at the bottom front isnt to shabby either!) Very clean IMO

He will hook you up with all the walls, but who will pay for them?!

EpicNewman got a reaction from southpaw516 in Spending lots of money on a PC but not enough time for actually using it
Welcome to the club brother, the fun part of having a PC and being a gamer that works. It's a balance that is never good for both having money and having time.

Oh, don't get me wrong I'm sure he's a nice guy when you sit down and talk to him on his multi-million dollar, gold plated, Boeing 757 private jet, while en-route to his own golf course. Nice guy.
And I've heard he can hook you up if you are in need of any large scale walls.

EpicNewman reacted to AlwaysFSX in Obama signs internet over to United Nations
And you think them "handing" it over to a different governing body that's pretty well influenced by the US will change anything? It won't.
Sorry.

EpicNewman reacted to SageOfSpice in Obama signs internet over to United Nations
Dear god, no....
I already have to remember .com and .ca, now we're adding funky multi-thingies to the end of the other thingies I have to remember? .co.us? Why not just .us? How do I know if it's a .us unless I've been there! It's madness!
Change is bad.

EpicNewman reacted to dalekphalm in Obama signs internet over to United Nations
We are at risk. Us Non-Americans, that is. You probably don't care that the US is in control of the IANA because that's your government. But c'mon. Think about this from a Non-American's perspective.
Hell, even Americans should be weary of American control of the Internet, given the NSA and the fact that we know the US Government is abusing the Internet and spying on Americans as well as foreign allies already.
Taking away control from them? That's a good start in my books.

EpicNewman reacted to Memories4K in Obama signs internet over to United Nations
Yes, but that's my point.
We are at no risk.
I absolutely don't trust the U.N., there are several controversies and issues surrounding the U.N. that lead me to believe a union such as that would not be in everyone's best interest.
"Don't deserve to be in charge of the internet."
Totally fair point.
Likewise, the U.N. doesn't deserve to be in charge of the internet.
Super sensationalist man.
I haven't seen much evidence that this is Obama's intentions or goal.
Oh no.
I'm sure the U.N. is very effective and has not at all been caught playing in the interests of bigger nations. (/sarcasm)

EpicNewman reacted to dalekphalm in Obama signs internet over to United Nations
And the current system only makes it easier for countries like the US to take control ... oh wait, they already have control. For the Non-Americans of the world, this is not desirable, with your NSA and other shit.
No offense, but America doesn't deserve to be in charge of the Internet.

EpicNewman reacted to r3d3mpt10n in PlayStation Now coming to PC
also, 1 adapter per controller is just rediculous. the Xbone adapter supports multiple controllers
