Wow. This reads like an obituary. While it must be sad/frustrating to have the fruit of your labor of blood, sweat, and tears move on without you, we mustn't forget that the man is (still) an innovator. I think "The sole initiator of the VR industrial revolution" is a great resume bullet to...

Stopped reading the article halfway through page 1 after they said "All that's left is add a little glue and reseal the processor." Waaaa??? The whole point of "de-lidding" back in the day was to apply a bigger heatsink directly to the die. I de-lidded all my athlon 64's (before they started...

@ WALTER_35 First, I totally agree with you....from a technical standpoint. Like I'd never use an OS until the first service pack or a new CPU/mobo socket until the 4 or 5th BIOS update. We know bugs will abound. Yes. To be an early adopter of anything is to have faith. I, however, was...

"it’s odd that AMD is letting people plunk down their money on products that no one has actually officially tested." Huh? This is not "odd" at all (for AMD or any company). Why, then, is anything up for pre-order? How about: gauging interest, adjusting initial production runs...

$25 for 20 hours is NOT going to go over well.....

Hello there youngsters. What about Super Star Wars for SNES circa 1992???

Remember playing the original MW on my 386 with EGA graphics. I definitely appreciate the dev's love letter to fans of the series and their dedication to the PC master race. Unfortunately I dont think nostalgia alone will be enough for this to get the success it deserves. This REALLY needs...

From a legal perspective, I kinda get the OS and browser requirement in order to avoid Hollywood DRM lawsuit pressure (although I think it is a spineless cave-in decision on the part of Netflix). However, the CPU requirement is an outright load of BS. You dont need a Kaby Lake CPU to decode...

YES! Been waiting for a price drop; either that or the release of an upgraded model. Was even considering getting a used one off of Ebay (Ugh). This price drop/discount is good because 1) I can instead get a 'brand new' Vive at lower price and 2) If a newer model now comes out at the original...

This is not only for promo pics vs gameplay, it is also for blatant false advertising. Take "One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3" for example. The images on the steam screenshots are from the PS4 version. This wouldn't be so bad for a PC master race guy, except for the fact that the Steam PC version...

This is actually what the VR market needs right now: a heavyweight like Sony utilizing their install base and pushing VR experiences to the masses. Hopefully they will keep up the in-store demos. I'm convinced there just is no other way to get new potential VR users on board and expand the...

Too Easy: TRON 2.0 Old_Newbie remembers playing TRON 2.0 on PC. It was one of the first multiplayer PC games I was able to play over the internet with my brother. I think TRON 2.0 would be a perfect VR port; not only in a VR multiplayer co-op story mode, but also as a bunch of mini-game VR...

Its more like "Not coming before December". I saw a Touch controller static display at the local Best Buy store this weekend and the placard read: "Touch - coming Winter 2016".
