Fantastic video and a great example of what console vs PC gamers notice and why. TAA serves a great purpose but my beef is how developers include it without any super sampling AA options for PC.

Still not a denial about going multiplatform, actually kind of supports it
Looks like we'll get an answer if some sort on Friday morning Australia time.
Given Microsoft's track record on communication, I have no doubt we'll have even more unanswered questions than we do now

Didn't know where to post, but I was digging around my dads garage and came across old Counter-Strike CD's I bought in a Valve pack over 20 years ago. I was curious about the Steam/Valve account they were eventually tied to, so I sent the CD Key and email addresses to Steam support and they were able to get the accounts back for me. One of them was created on 3rd October, 2003. 2-3 weeks after Steam launched! The email address tied to that account was compromised at some point unfortunately, and the Steam account has a VAC ban from 2007... Imagine the guy used it legit and had a library and inventory worth a bit of coin. 
Might hang onto them and use them to sample demo's etc anyway.

I went through my old disc-based, pre-Steam games once just to see if the CD key would work in Steam. I remember Supreme Commander worked, and it also activated the expansion pack I didn't own

The classics are returning.
64 player matches.
Truly nostalgic. 2 of the great games of my younger days. Every map was perfect.

I didn't mind it, looked better than I thought it would after being in the wilderness for a few years.

Borderlands doesn't need a movie imo but whatever.. It looks like and will feel nothing more then any other generic superhero flick.
Not sure about Kevin Hart as Roland to me he doesn't quite fit, Roland is big, focused and an intimidating military soldier, while Kevin Hart is a run of the mill comedian. They're gonna butcher Roland just to get that comedy relief. Cate Blanchett is a great actress through so i'll probably watch it just to see her portrayal of lilith.

Love the games, but doubt I'll see this. Blanchett and JLC are twice the age of the characters they are portraying, the actress playing Tiny Tina is taller than the guy cast to play Roland who is meant to be quite burly. It's like they weren't even trying to do a faithful job, but I assume their priority was getting the biggest names they could attached.
Eh it would be a Mad Max rip off.

Signed and filmed several years ago when Hart was hot property for these type of flicks. If you were casting today it wouldn't be him.
No Brick or Mordecai?
The main casting is atrocious. Jack Black as Claptrap the only decent choice. Jamie Lee Curtis might've been a good choice 20 years ago but not now. Ugh

I watched the first season but don't know if I will continue. I'm not a fan of the games so don't have the hatred for it that a lot of fans do but it didn't really do a lot to make me want to continue.

Massive fan of the games, the tv series though isn’t great, they cooked it.

A bunch of layoffs, studio closures and game cancelations at Sony and now EA this week. On the surface the industry looks healthy but it's clearly not as strong as it appears, at least the AAA side of things.
Shawn Layden (I think it was?) was bang on the money a few years back about modern AAA games being too expensive to produce and the current state of play not being sustainable. When you consider how much games cost to make now vs even 10 years ago yet they're still basically the same price (small increase this generation I know) its pretty crazy.

Yeah I remember Shawn copping a bit of flak for those statements. The other thing is these games are not selling much more than they did 10 years ago either. Something fundamentally has to change about how these companies do business but I'm not smart enough to know what they do about it.
