    The Callisto Protocol (2022)

    I can't help it, I kind of like this game. It has received a lot of bad reputation but I think it is not that bad. I'm not a big fan of Dead Space because I found the original game kind of boring but Callisto Protocol is better than I thought. The combat is more intimate because of the mele...

    Excessive line feeds

    Every time I post something, I find that there are more line feeds than I originally wrote. This requires me that I always edit my own post removing those line feeds that appears to be inserted by the forum SW.

    Games with color profiles beyond sRGB

    Most games up to today are more or less made for the 18 year old sRGB color gamut. Displays are now starting to be able to show more than that old sRGB standard. One question is how games can take advantage of this. Have you seen any game at all where you can adjust or choose the color gamut...

    [RANT] Tired of setting up new "accounts" for every game

    I'm really starting to get very annoyed by all these accounts because I've bought a new game. It is a plague. Every game now requires that you create an account associated with the game, example is Rockstar requires you to setup an account to play their games but also other companies do it as...

    Who plays all these games based on movies?

    This discussion also applies for console gaming as well but I post this here. This is a trend that has been going on since the 80s. They create a game based on the merchandize of an existing movie. Robocop, Lethal weapon, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean and so on. I've played a few...

    Does dubbing make games more expensive?

    This question is not directly PC related but more a general gaming question. A lot of games today dub the voice cast to some larger languages. These languages are usually German, French and Spanish. The question is how much extra money must be added in order to support this. Basically is it...

    Suggest games that doesn't require monster PC on steam

    When I'm traveling I bring my smaller laptop which has an i7 sandy bridge with Intel HD 3000 graphics. Since this laptop doesn't have the same power as my larger one I wonder if there are games that run on laptops with less juice. Steam makes it possible to skip the DVD check crap and it doesn't...

    It's 2008 and Nvidia are still cheating with image quality

    I've been avoiding Nvidia because they have previously been cheating with image quality, both 3d rendering and bad windows desktop quality. Now I recently got an Nvidia card in my laptop and I thought that Nvidia would have become better but apparently they still have the cheating with image...

    Radeon 9800XT fan died, no replacement

    The fan on my Radeon 9800XT has died and doesn't spin anymore after being noisy for a while. I need some kind of replacement. The type of fan that came with the board doesn't seem to be a standard product and I cannot find a similar in the local retail stores. Does anybody have an idea what I...

    A good LCD around 24" for gaming

    I'm looking for a good wide screen LCD about 24" which should also be fast that I can play games on it. The picture quality should also be on the absolute top, no reduction in color quantization, and pixel should have a good pitch. I'm ready to pay premium money as long as I get what I want...

    Who plays Half life episode one with HDR?

    I leave it off. I don't want to get dazzled by reflection from façades. A 60W light bulp never makes me blind. It just looks so wrong to me. This is a failure.

    Sound Blaster X-Fi + Win2k

    Apparently X-Fi requires Windows XP according to Creative. However, is Windows XP really required? Windows 2000 is basically the same as Windows XP but with more eye candy. Is someone successfully using X-Fi with Windows 2000. I would like to install an X-Fi but I'm not really keen on...

    HDR rendering annoy me

    I've seen a few games no that have implemented HDR rendering and I must say it's only annoying. The brightness level is constantly chainging because its adaptive. So a bright area can suddenly go dark. Very bright areas just bloomed to exageration. Take a walk outside in a bright day and you...
