Don't worry guys, if your poison is mining that is barely taxed at all!
I have played FEZ, Castle of Illusion, Grid 2, Pool Nation, Rogue Legacy, CivV, Torchlight 2, World of Goo and Virtua Tennis 4. I have had to change settings on a few to get them run well (e.g. Grid 2) but for the most part they all ran pretty well all things considered. It's certainly not going to replace a desktop but it is a capable little game machine in its own right. If you want me to try anything in particular let me know and I will give it a whirl (as long as I have it). No special drivers needed, the digitiser just treats touch/pen input just like a mouse cursor, with the pen there is a button for right clicks. A lot of the time I use finger input (but have a microfibre cloth handy
).I am sure you can't go wrong with the Yoga either, I can just say I am happy with my SP2.
MM backissues? Have they done a reprint or something? I fucking love the Gaiman/Moore MM reboot but have only got it as digital. It is all original colouring and stuff? Me want.
Edit: got off my lazy arse and googled it. Looks like the RRP is US$6 so I'm not sure why Canada has them so cheap. This might even convince me to brave my local comic shop and get a standing order started.
Awesome, thanks. That's fairly impressive. I'm surprised it could run Civ V.

No boat pic, for shame.

So, it turns out that light field photography stuff wasn't just theoretical, they spent five or six years making a camera that actually does let you change a photo's focus after shooting it, or pan around (a little bit) a scene.
Sample picture (click on different parts of the scene, or drag to pan around):

Can't wait until these things are a decent price and integrated into my mobile phone.

I have the 8GB version (256GB hdd), Civ5 is great as it has a native Windows 8 mode with touch-screen controls. Just did a quick check, I have it running at native res (1080P) with a combination of low/medium/high settings and AA turned off, Fraps reports back at ~42fps. Not that a high fps matters with a game like civ but it shows it's totally playable, also it was using 1.5GB of memory with a huge map selected, that would no doubt grow as the game went on.

I live your game. Do I get a super special gold plated platinum carbide account?
I did that last time someone said "schooner" in an AusGAF thread. Not going to that effort again.

Replayed Bioshock Infinite to remind myself how much of a mess I felt/feel it is. Super conflicting game. Could have been amazing

CAUSE 20 HOURS A DAY IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER MONITOR FOR 7 YEARS STRAIGHT AINT TOO GOOD ON THE EYEBALLS MR INDIE GAME MAKER
Also no breaks to go get glasses. No breaks at all.
Nope. Downloaded, not listened. Too busy tidying up and around to fit in new pinball machine.
Marvel finally sorted out the legalities of it and are reprinting the whole thing. They're also getting Gaiman to finish his bit off.

HI ADAM
Also, 10% off PSN/XBL wallet cards. Stock up!
You have time to watch Austin Powers but not enjoy the majesty of techno Akira Yamaoka!?!
Second movie he actually got some decent screentime! Yeah his early roles were awesome, he was great in Jay & Silent Bob
The wound is beginning to smell like almonds, which is not good.
I would, but they only seem to be selling Xbox One consoles
Edit: And it's still cheaper to top up w/ Paypal on PSN for the $10 bonus on $50 topup. I'm tempted to do it, but last time that happened I got hacked or whatever and lost $60 of credits :/

Did you enable the 2 step process on Origin?

Tell him he's dreaming.
Oooooh new MM material from Gaiman!! Sweeeeet. Although I think I'd prefer this rerelease in trade format, or even a complete collection rather than singles. Hopefully they'll do that further down the line.
I talked to a couple of comic store folk and *if* it happens it'll be at least 12-18 months before we'll see the first trade. Probably even a couple of years.
Origin? Wat?
Wow, I never noticed this, either:How have I never seen this before? I must live in a cave.

Didn't they buy FIFA packs? They gain access through FIFA shit but turning on 2 step authentication on Origin.com should give you enough protection.
They bought them through my PSN funds. I didn't realise it had anything to do with Origin because my password was changed and the money was spent (showing transactions etc.) on my PSN account.

What did they buy with the PSN funds?
Just bought an Asus Transformery thingy, Dicks has then 100 bucks off and free 12 months of Norton that is only available until today, apparently, just for a heads up. New model must be coming out. Still, for 500 I think I did alright.
Bahahaha!

Nintendo spent a lot of time working out a cheap, effective way to work out the difference between when you're slaking or on a rapidash.
Fixed.
