  1. At my TAFE it depends on the classroom. The main one I'm in most of the time has 2014 High end iMacs, with 4770Ks, 780M GPU, 32 gigs of RAM, and 256 gig SSDs. The other main room I've been in runs Core 2 Duo era 24" iMacs with about 4 gigs of RAM. There's also a number of Dell mini towers in the library, although not sure of the specs on them. I've also seen some older polycarbonate iMacs and iBooks, as well as a few macbook pros here and there.

  2. Because then more women want to play the game? I tried the game story sucked and the online was lame so not worth my money so I did not buy their POS game and wont buy it again on next gen console or PC, and will not buy again until they fix it...

    That is an interesting thing that I'd never thought about from the point of view of gender. I mean, I've thought  about it from my point of view as a gaymer, but never thought, even though it's sorta obvious that women would want to play women in the same way I want to play gay guys.

  3. I miss the days of dedicated PC servers being the majority of online play. We had rules about this shit. 

    I was much younger, and even at that immature want-be-a-dick-rag-on-the-internet age I learned not to do B, C, and D. 

    The main reason was not only servers with rules, but 2 factors-

    *You played with the same 100-150 people usually. They remember you. 

    *I often played with people a lot older than I was, generally in their 30s. Some married with wives that often played as well, would come home from work, crack a beer, and play a game. Chances are if you trashed talked person Y, Admin X probably knows them.

     

    ten plus years later and I miss that accountability, and the communities that formed around simple match servers. 

     

     

    I fucking hate kotaku more every day. 

    I have to say, I've not really seen anything from Kotaku that's made me hate them, but seriously fuck their homophobic parent company Gawker.

  4. There is sort of a way. On the older pre-thunderbolt models, you could easily use a feature called Target Display Mode, which turns the iMac into basically an expensive monitor through mini displayport. On the newer ones, including yours, target display mode still exists, but you need to use thunderbolt, and as such I'm not sure if you can use it with a PC GPU (you'd defiantly need a thunderbolt port for one thing).

  5. It's probably like why someone like the prime minister isn't paid that much. They don't want people going to the job because it pays well, they want them going to the job because they'll be good at up holding the law, and because they'll be able to deal with the stuff they'd end up seeing.

  6. On the Linus Media Group's site's team page, it mentions that Tarran is the cheif editor of the LTT channel. In that case, what do Ed/Nick/Dennis do on a day to day basis. Do they edit stuff for the other channels, other stuff for LTT or do something else entirely?

  7. I do miss when you would get a game cd or dvd's they would normally come with some map or something extra. I remember opening civ 3 and getting a layout of the tech tree options, good times when you need something to read and poop, all before cell phones. I also miss payphones in movies, that premise is gone, Neo would would never make it to the matrix without a hard line, the machines have won :(

    Fun fact, The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 both came with some thing like that, a Map and book of basic info about the game for the witcher, and a poster of the perks for fallout.

  8. No sound?

    Seriously?

     

    This is so bs...how can they even prove poor system performance in court? All the rest are just issues that can and will eventually happen , and which can be fixed. Also...they agreed to the EULA so...what's the point really?

    I actually have an issue where I need to reinstall the sound drivers on my notebook every so often (although I suppose that may be related to the fact it's a vista era laptop)
