  1. My favorite thing about the M8 is the insane build quality. I'm still using an S3, so an M8 would be amazing.
  2. I would honestly be alright with whatever you choose. There are obvious benefits for you guys if you remove unboxings: - More work time to focus on other content - Less money and time going toward getting products early - Less stress trying to crank out dozens of videos in a day If removing unboxings from the LTT catalog seems like a good idea, then go for it, you have the numbers and knowledge to make that decision. From my end, I just like to see LMG content, even if it isn't daily. The production quality has skyrocketed over this past year, and if you want to focus more on news, reviews, benchmarks, and more technical videos, I welcome your paradigm shift.
  3. I only really develop in C++ currently so: On my desktop (Windows): Visual studio 2012 express + Notepad++ On my laptop (Arch Linux): GCC and Sublime text
  4. On my desktop I'm using VS2010 express for C++. On my laptop I use sublime text and g++. I want to find a better way to manage my projects without using Visual Studio just because I'm tired of it. I love the idea of an IDE with everything in one place but sometimes it just gets on my nerves.
  5. It looks like some people are a bit confused. The topic isn't to discuss the negative effects of games so much as it is to compare my results of the survey with other peer reviewed sources to see both sides of the emotional spectrum. Most of the reason for choosing this topic was from observations of my own behavior. Some games set me off into a fit of rage, while others help me relax to the point of falling asleep in the chair, even if they are both brutally difficult, and have similar gameplay elements. This also isn't a doctorate thesis or anything, just an assignment for an online class, so it doesn't have to have precisely controlled variables under a specific study/examination :) Thank you to all of you who have participated! I have 62 completed responses! I should definitely be able to pull some information from this. The survey is still up, so anyone who hasn't taken it yet, feel free! The more samples the better! ^_^
  6. Already have 19 responses. Thanks a lot everyone! :D
  7. I hope this isn't going to be a bad place for this, but I have a research paper that I am writing on the correlation between video games, aggression, anxiety, and relaxation. I would really appreciate it if you guys would take this quick 10 question survey. Please answer as truthfully as possible, as I need the best data possible, and can't actually perform a long term study with sophisticated instruments. You can discuss the topic itself in the forum, which might be good to read through longer stories and responses, but please don't get too heated. This isn't a "guns are bad, games are bad" topic. It has more to do with how all media (mostly interactive games) affects our emotions through immersive story-telling and images, and how in some cases (such as horror, or extremely violent games) feelings of anxiety or aggression can last for a few hours, sometimes days, or even longer term in some individuals. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XGSML73 Thank you all for your participation! :lol:
  8. It runs calculations using the unused processing power that your CPU and GPU have left over, and you can adjust the intensity of the processing. Honestly, I leave it on full 24/7, I often forget to turn it down when I go to play BF3 on ultra, and I only notice a very small dip in performance unless it is on a VERY large map. You should be able to play most games while running it, especially if you turn it down to medium or lower. You can also mess with the settings to get it just right, it won't break anything. Judging from the specs in your sig, you should be fine. On another note, we have broken past rank 200! Congrats everyone! :lol: I for one am extremely surprised that I have managed to climb to rank 118 on the team in the short time that I have been folding. Lets see how high we can get! :D
  9. How is development on the Ouya? It's an interesting platform but I don't know anybody that is working with it yet.
  10. Progress! :D Changed the way I handle checking input. Instead of just using an if statement to check to see if the byte returned by the controller is equal to one of my buttons, I am using a bitwise and to compare it to the button, and if it does not equal 0, then it prints the button. This fixes my problem with multiple buttons being pressed at one time. Example: Instead of using if(state == B_A) { Serial.print("A\n");} I am using if((state & B_A) != 0) { Serial.print("A\n");} Simple change making a huge step in functionality :lol: I plan on making an array of 8 bool values (Or boolean as arduino refers to them. Why make it longer, I mean seriously?) to store the state information, and adding defines such as #define I_A 1#define I_B 2 to navigate it (I_A being index of A, and I_B being index of B etc.). This way I can just do something like if(state[I_A] == true) { Serial.print("A\n");} Might look un-needed now, but it will make things a lot easier down the road. Thanks for the comments! ^_^ I hope all of you that are studying for exams do well and can begin the hobby work again soon! I would love to see the kind of stuff all of you are waiting to work on.
  11. I've seen this type of thread on nearly every programming forum I've been on, so I figured it would be time to start up our own WAYWO. Feel free to post anything about any projects you are working on, including pictures, video, snippets, or what have you! I'm currently working on a few projects but only have this one that I can really show off: I decided to hack an old NES controller for use over USB using an arduino. Yes I know that I have a big old board hanging off the back, but this is for prototyping, I can always pull the IC off and mount it in the controller itself. Here is a quick video with my obnoxious voice giving you all a rundown :lol: http://youtu.be/EC6Y3m41FIg If you don't have the time to watch the quick video, I made a simple controller class that has methods for handling the clock and strobe of the controller, as well as a method that returns a byte that holds the button information (only 8 buttons total, convenient!). I have defines for each of the buttons that I use in the loop function inside a series of 8 if statements that handles printing the button that is currently pressed. This is only temporary, as I need a way to check for multiple button presses. But alas, I am tired and will work on it tomorrow. Again, feel free to post your own projects, or comment on other users projects and posts! :)
  12. They don't necessarily have to be branded as "removable" as long as you can get them off. I have no qualms with a fair share of modification
  13. Mostly performance and noise level. Price isn't too much of an issue when I'm going all out.
  14. Does anybody know of any good fans that can compete with Noctua NF-F12s that can be disassembled? As in remove the blade assembly from the motor. I want to be able to dye them, so I get good color but still keep the great performance.
  15. I do have an AMD card, so that would explain it. I am using the 1.3.4 native Linux image. It would seem odd to have to forward the port for a local connection, but I will give it a shot. EDIT: Nope, forwarding didn't change anything. I'll have to throw a head on it when I get the time and fish around for config files or something. At least they included BusyBox in the image :lol:
