Happy Diablo III Day

NeutralX2 — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:29:52 +0000

I was only able to play for a little over an hour today, but so far my are good! It looks like they got the login and character creation issues under control, but they still need to work on the server lag. My ping was constantly in the 200s, and sometimes it would spike to much higher. Still, good stuff. I am looking forward to playing it with some friends.

Tribes: Ascend ‘Tartarus’ Update Adds New Maps

NeutralX2 — Wed, 09 May 2012 21:22:57 +0000

The awesome free-to-play shooter Tribes: Ascend is coming out with their third post-release content pack. The Tartarus update has a number of changes, but the highlights are two new maps and the ability to save multiple loadouts per class. It is just too bad the multiple loadouts have to be unlocked as it addresses a usability issue rather then creates a gampeplay advantage. Check out the video below for some of the details and read the patch notes here.

Getting back into BF3

I just played a few rounds of TDM in Battlefield 3. I am starting to get a good feel for this game and am enjoying it more then I used to.

I really can’t wait for the Close Quarters Expansion. They look like a bunch of really great TDM maps.

I am actually really looking forward to this Battlefield 3 expansion. I have always preferred the infantry combat over the vehicles, and this entire expansion is focused on infantry maps. The close combat and destructible buildings might finally give my PC a workout!

Nvidia’s GTX 680 Released

NeutralX2 — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 02:32:00 +0000

Nvidia released the GeForce GTX 680 Kepler GPU today. “With Kepler we wanted not only to build the world’s fastest GPU, but also the world’s most power efficient,” said Nvidia’s James Wang.

The company says the GTX 680 introduces two major changes: A completely redesigned streaming multiprocessor and a new GPU Boost feature to increase clock speeds. It also draws “at most” 195 watts of power compared to 244 watts on the GeForce GTX 580.

Last year Epic Games showed off its next-gen target demo Samaritan running on three GTX 580s. That same demo now runs on a single GTX 680 with power to spare.

The card is available from $499 to $530, but is sold out everywhere. NVIDIA says that the supply will get better in the weeks and months ahead, so expect to wait a bit if you didn’t already get one.

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome Trailer

NeutralX2 — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:41:44 +0000

Blood & Crome is intended as a more action-heavy BSG prequel than Caprica, set during the first Human/Cylon war and focused on the adventures of William Adama (Luke Pasqualino) when he was a young pilot.

Update: Apparently the trailer that hit earlier today was an unofficial demo reel that wasn’t intended for the public. It was shown at WonderCon last weekend, but NBCUniversal has since removed all vestiges of it from YouTube.
