  1. You can't buy it from Steam, not for a long time now, but if already own it you can still download it. It is still on my Steam game list.
  2. Well, did not expect that. I think the first game was pulled from Steam years ago.
  3. Games that require the SSD will not work on older hardware. So I wouldn't count on any exclusive type of games to work. Multiplatform games have a higher probability of releasing multiple versions, but I would expect the frequency to decrease after the second or third year.
  4. This does happen. Usually a new cable, that has a tight fit, will remedy the issue.
  5. Regular Xbox One controllers will power on and connect via the USB port if you use it wired all the time. You do need batteries to go bluetooth wireless.
  6. The lighting is bad, but I would expect that to improve substantially and cover up other warts.
  7. But it looked like a burn decal on the model's torso. The interactivity should be better, at the very least with environmental objects.
  8. In 1998 you could slice a wooden sign post three different ways depending on how you swing your sword. Over 20 years later, and a fucking lightsaber doesn't slice off ANYTHING, not even the many legs of the giant spider creatures? Skyward Sword has been around for almost a decade, too!
  9. Ahhhhhh, I can see it now. I swear I didn't see any blue hue at all the first time. I'd go through the calibration process, Windows has a built-in one. Look up other users' settings, make sure everything is the same for both monitors.. Perhaps swap cables and video ports on the video card to make rule out that difference. But I think you will need to return the panel because it's a dud.
  10. Yeah well now I need to figure out which livestream to watch.
  11. Yeah just installed and tested it. Wish the YouTube app did that.
  12. I really can't tell the problem you are describing from my end. The text looks similar. I do notice a difference in contrast/brightness between the overall pictures you posted and there is obvious compression with the jpg format, but I don't see any other issues. Perhaps try uploading a higher res image, and if your phone has the option to save it in PNG format instead of jpg. One thing to note is that even monitors of the same model will vary in quality, and to get them looking the same you'll have to use the OSD to adjust the settings.
  13. Yeah I didn't think there would be any, as video is usually an important part of the presentations and Twitch streaming is just so popular. I haven't tried the Twitch app yet, so maybe it will play while my phone is in standby mode.
  14. I would like to listen to some E3 this Sunday and Monday while I'm at work, so I need an audio stream to play from my phone. Usually video streams will stop playing when I turn the screen off in an attempt to listen to the audio portion, so I'm hoping for live podcast type of stream.
  15. I use an Amazon Firestick. Native apps work well enough, although I do have to restart it more often than I would like. But you can also mod it, which appeals to me. The 4k version is snappier and faster.
  16. Prices on the Ryzen 2600, 2600x, 2700, and all 1000's (1800, 1600, etc) have went down the last few months as retailers are trying to clear old stock. The 2700x hasn't seen as many or as big of a discount as the other processors, but I'm sure there will be a clearance event eventually. The processor has been bundled with other items, like a motherboard and SSD for an insanely good price though. I would expect to see the processor alone drop below $250 in the near future. Games haven't fully tapped an 8 core processor. Intel's 6 core i7 8700k is still one of the best gaming processors. It'll be another 2 years before 8 cores significantly pull ahead of 6 cores. Now comparing the AMD processors against themselves (the 3600x vs the 2700x), don't forget that each of the six cores in the 3600x is faster than a core in the 2700x. Several sources have stated that a single Ryzen 3000 core will be 13-15% faster than a single Ryzen 2000 core - at the same clock speed. What also remains to be seen is how much AMD has increased the speed of their Infinity fabric. This fabric is what connects the cores together, so if a thread has to jump from one core to another there is a delay in how fast it is executed. Everyone is assuming Ryzen 3000 has decreased this delay, which will further solidify its performance, but I don't think AMD has officially announced that. And on top of that, Ryzen 2000's maximum clockspeed 4.2, or 4.3 Ghz if you are really lucky. But it's now confirmed that Ryzen 3000 can easily clock up to 4.5 Ghz, and it is rumored that really good chips can come close to 5 GHz. In my personal opinion, since you will mainly be gaming, I think the 3600x would be a better value than an equally or slightly higher priced 2700x. If the 2700x is close to the $200 range, then maybe it will be a good value. However, the normal 3600 is that price. And since you want to dabble in overclocking, the 3600 will be the best value as it will most likely be able to clock as high as a 3600x would. Now if you want 8 cores, the 3700x is pretty well priced. You should be able to get the 3700x, a good motherboard, and decent RAM under your $600 budget. Really the big unknown right now is just how much more expensive the new motherboards will cost. The new boards are more difficult to manufacture because Ryzen 3000 can support PCIe 4.0 - which is twice as fast as the current PCIe 3.0. But if you don't plan to utilize PCIe 4.0, which offers the biggest gains to NVME SSD drives, then getting a current gen motherboard will be a much better value. Another unknown is just how big demand is and if AMD can match the supply. If chips are selling out left and right, retailers are probably going to mark up the price. This would be a huge bummer, and could put you over budget OR make you wait even longer for prices to return to normal. @Blkm0nk3y92 So it's not an easy decision. Over the last few months I almost bit the bullet and got a Ryzen 2600x or 2700x, with the plan to swap it out when Ryzen 3000 releases. But I've held off and I personally think I made the right choice for me. As long as Ryzen 3000 delivers on what they've showed, I will be buying one along with a new motherboard. I've already got a new PSU and NVME drive sitting on the shelf ready to be unleashed LOL.
  17. Asylum and City are one of the few modern games I've replayed and platinum'd. Only other game I've done that with is Spider-Man.
  18. Well as I tried to say in PM, take a look at this https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-ryzen-3000-release-date-price-specs-and-everything-we-know/
  19. Do the above. For reference I do believe they tie your Windows key to your motherboard, so whenever you change that they think you got a whole new system.
  20. Also make sure the GPU and CPU fans are working, and heatsinks aren't filthy.
  21. The two brothers matches were amazing. Definitely reminded me of classic WCW.
