    RIP PS Vita: Sony Officially Ends Production

    I got a good three years out of mine before the games being published stopped interesting me. Stupid ass physical memory format held it back from day one. I never really saw any games that did a good job of leveraging the rear touch panel either. I played way too much Lumnies SuperNova on...

    Intel Launches the 28 Core W-3175X

    That is an INSANE price and 255W TDP? yeah there is a very small number of people that will actually need or use this. That's not to say it isn't something I would covet, but I sure as hell aren't paying for one myself.

    Does Adjusting Graphics Settings Lower Than the Game Allows Constitute Cheating?

    Facebook is in an Arms Race with Adblockers

    I have a Pi-Hole on my local network, so things that aren't FB don't resolve. FB.net is blocked from running scripts via NoScript. Oh and the FB container for FireFox to make sure they aren't snooping outside the box so to speak. It's not perfect, but the only 100% effective option would be to...

    Microsoft Admits Cortana Is an Epic Failure by Shamelessly Selling Amazon Echo Dot

    Cortana isn't going to be displacing Google Home or Echo devices, but it's VERY present in the enterprise. Intelligent inbox, natural language scheduling, just to name a few.

    Sony Could Be Planning Backward Compatibility for PS5

    Exactly this. It's why there will never be another "new" Xbox model, only upgrades to CPU/GPU/System Memory/GPU memory, storage subsystem. If you're a game developer, you won't ever have to learn anything new other than how to step game performance up or down depending on if it's being played...

    Report: Google Is Developing a Standalone AR Headset to Rival HoloLens

    Every company that's developing AR headsets are just making news releases in the hopes that they can freeze the market. Right now there's no market to freeze, so release away. I really hope there's great headsets and we end up with a competitive market.

    James Cameron Hopes for “Avengers” Fatigue

    I'm gonna disagree. Marvel has so many individual charters and stories to tell that while they may be numerous, it's a good chance they wont' get repetitive anytime soon. It's a REALLY big catalog to draw from.

    Xbox One X Enhanced Titles Listed

    Xbox One X Enhanced Titles Listed

    I think a lot of this might just be a question of repackaging the source graphics. Weren't a lot of these developed with PC support for 4k?
