25% off everything, one day only. http://www.greenmangaming.com Code: SUMME-RBLOW-OUT25 Just grabbed Shogun 2 for US$22.50. Steam price in my region: $90...

I recently picked up a 3GB GX580, and I've been having some issues. In a couple of games (namely, Quake 4 and Trackmania United), I'm getting really low-quality textures. Like, worse than my Nintendo 64. A bit of digging through the Quake 4 configs revealed the problem: the VRAM count is...

OK, this is a weird one... Recently got a GTX 580, and thought I'd give PhysX a shot in Mirror's Edge. But although Fraps was reporting a fairly consistent high framerate, something felt a little off... Here are the frame delays with PhysX off: And with PhysX on: It actually feels smoother...

I picked up a 30'' HP LP3065 yesterday, since my old 21'' Trinitron is on its way out... Never owned an LCD before, so I was completely ignorant of the whole colour space issue. So I take it home, hook it up, fire up a couple of games... and they just look awful. Nice and sharp and detailed...

Released a few minutes ago, from the looks of it. http://www.quakelive.com/

Just bought a replacement VGA cable (previous owner of the last one sawed the screws off...), and it doesn't work - monitor says "no signal". Comes back to life when I put the old one back in. FWIW, the old one is missing pin 9, and the new one has all 15, but I didn't think that made a...

I recall a lot of speculation around here about full environmental destructibility, and I also recall a few of us concluding that voxels are what it would take to make it happen. Enter Voxelstein 3D, a Wolfenstein-inspired shooter built on Ken Silverman's Voxlap engine. Full destructibility...

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/28/beyond-good-and-evil-2-revealed-at-ubidays-2008/ About damn time :) . EDIT: Though why I just assumed we'd be getting it on PC, I have no idea...

Just wondering if there's something wrong with the blood here, or if it's like this for everyone... EDIT: DX9, max settings. It just looks absurd... There's nothing to see except for the excessive rim lighting, and it ends up looking like a shower of sparks, with the occasional distinct...

Is there a simpler way than the following code to force C to assign the same bit pattern to a different type? Casts between ints, chars and pointers seem to work like this, until you bring floats into the mix. float f = 7.7; int n = *(int *)(void *)&f; Could've sworn I saw a more...

Made my first overclocking attempt a couple of days ago, and it went pretty smoothly, except that now my system will only post about 60% of the time. Hitting the reset a couple of times always gets it running again, and once it's up, it's stable for 8 hours under Prime95. Not sure what...

There's one detail about this I just can't puzzle out... So the graph's nodes, each containing its distance, are sitting in a priority queue, so that we can pull the closest one out on request. The distances are then updated, and the queue needs to be able to accommodate these changes in...

PlasmaPong has finally been released for the Mac. Both x86 and PPC versions available. Check it out.

Apparently some people have found some HL2 and Doom3 assets in STALKER. Link Might have some explanation (like both developers buying the same texture package), or it might be a hoax from someone with a grudge against GSC (remember the disgruntled intern who got the Crytek offices raided by...

I'm trying to teach myself ML at the moment, so although this looks like homework, it isn't. In other words, feel free to post a full solution ;). EDIT: If you want to have a crack at it but don't know ML, the algorithm is in post #3. The task is to take a list L and an integer n...

Check it out. Draw something with the pencil, then send a guy across it on a sled.

Is there any way to directly enter a binary number in Java (i.e. something analogous to the "0x" for hex numbers)?

Any code resembling the following: try { Scanner s = new Scanner(new FileInputStream("filename")); s.nextLine(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e){} catch (IOException e){} gives the compiler warning "Unreachable catch block for IOException. Only more specific exceptions are thrown...

Some of you may remember PlasmaPong - it received a fair bit of attention when it was released a few months ago. If you haven't tried it, I suggest you do so. Even if the Pong part doesn't interest you - the real fun is in the Fluid Solver (sandbox mode) IMO. Anyway, a bunch of screens just...

I really think it would be a good idea for Ageia to release something along the lines of NovodeX Rocket, using a newer (PhysX card compatible) version of the physics engine. This is one thing which could easily show people what their new card can do, and should be pretty easy to pull off, since...

I'm sharing a net connection with my brother over a wireless network. The problem is he's got BitTorrent running every spare second, which completely paralyses the connection on my end (even if it's only using a tenth of the bandwidth, chances are I'll get a timeout on google.com :( ). I...

I'm getting some weird CPU spikes... Up to 100% for about half a second, during which everything freezes (mouse included). Happens with all processes killed, CPU usage of all processes stays at 00 throughout, and AVG/Spybot/Adaware find nothing. Seems to be completely random. Sometimes...

Is anything going to go horribly wrong if I have two separate installs of XP sharing the same page file? I guess what I'm really asking is whether the OS will try to access stuff it put in there before the last reboot, and just assume everything is as it left it.

My PC keeps turning itself off... I'm trying to slipstream SP2. Turned off about five times while trying to copy the XP CD to my HD, about 10 - 20 seconds in - it doesn't happen in any consistent place. Finally got the files across (by copying them a couple of hundred at a time), and now the...

A bit of background first: I've recently set up a dual boot system with two copies of XP Pro - one kept clean, used mainly for games, one I can screw up as much as I want. And yes, I do actually own two copies... I was conned into buying the Win98 Upgrade... Setup: Two hard drives, each with...
