What is a "never settle" bundle?

A last gasp. 35% of the market hardly seems like a last gasp. All you people cheering for AMD to fail deserve a single chip monopoly market.

Who's cheering for AMD to fail? I certainly don't want them to, despite not having had an AMD processor for a number of years, and have avoided ATi cards like the plague.

I was a big AMD fan until Intel's i-series came out; ATI cards have been shit for a while though.

I like AMD, but ATI is a pox on computing. Ideally we won't end up with a single chip designer, for obvious reasons.
That said, I'm running Intel now because AMD seems to have dropped the ball.

AMD "APU"s (CPU+GPU) will be the core of both the PS4 and the next Xbox. That will keep them afloat, and make them ideal for those sweet sweet ports.

Although it will make for some revenue, the profit margins on chips for consoles are extremely thin. But the real reason you aren't going to see anything major in GPUs this year is TSMC. They manufacture the chips for both NVIDIA and ATI, and their next process is still who-the-fuck-knows off. NVIDIA will apparently have a kepler refresh coming out in a few months, but performance gains likely won't amount to terribly much.

Well, yeah. Since the core i7 (Nehalms, so 2008...) Intel is miles ahead of AMD in the CPU field. Regarding graphic cards AMD isn't in such a bad position. Actually I'd say right now the AMD offers are better price/value than their Nvida counterparts.

Ahh ok, still impressive...Im guessing that shits all over Madden. Well, yeah. Most of the planet plays football, only America really plays hand-egg. Most of the planet is also poor, and we've been playing that other football in Canada for over 100 years now.

Holy cow, I forgot the Microvision.
Also, they missed the evolution of Rock Band's toys to Rocksmith's actual instrument as a controller.

Patrice Desilets gets fired. It makes me wonder what kind of atmosphere there was in Ubisoft when they see the need to do the "immediate termination, guards will see you out" -routine (on someone who is notable enough to make it into a news story).

Didn't even know who he was. Now I do. He made "jumping off roofs with knives" simulators.

Escorting people out is done in cases where you stole company assets or sexually harassed someone. At least in the U.S. I'd like to defer to our Canadian HR expert, if he is available.

The guy already quit Ubisoft once. He only ended up getting dragged back there after they bought the THQ studio he was working at when all of THQ's assets were being auctioned off.

Varies based on the paranoia of the company you're with, same as the U.S. I imagine. In IT they're more afraid that you're going to steal whatever crappy software they wrote, even though it probably wouldn't work anywhere else. I used to work for a bank that escorted anyone in our IT group out the moment they resigned. They just paid you for the two weeks notice or whatever you gave them. Then people who resigned got wise and started giving four weeks notice, they got escorted out and paid for four weeks. The last person who resigned, before they scrapped the escorting out policy, gave six months notice and they had to pay him for it .

Swen Vincke, founder of Larian Studios ("Divinity" franchise) posted an interesting piece on his blog: he writes about the successful KS experience for "Original Sin"; but also, and more importantly, he expresses his feelings about the relationship with the gaming press (review style, sending out demos, bad/good publicity etc.): http://www.lar.net/2013/05/07/being-selective/One of the things I started wondering about throughout the campaign was who we should show our games to. You see, I used to think that you should strive for maximum exposure, and try to show your game to anybody who can hold a pen or camera. But after having talked to I guess over 200 media over the last couple of months and seeing their output, I’ve actually come to reconsider that statement.

I think that Stealth Bastard: Tactical Espionage Arsehole is one of the best names for a game ever.

I read a few bits about that HEX game today and I determined after 46 seconds of investigation that I need to stay far away from that shit.

Maybe vandalizing your cards will be a stretch goal feature.

I absolutely will not be able to resist if that happens. My absolute favorite was when I drew stars and an astronaut on a swamp, and titled it OUTER SPACE. That card is still in play, in fact, and wins.

I don't believe anyone in the history of Magic ever vandalized a card with anything other than a penis. Are you sure it wasn't a penis on a swamp titled OUTER DICKS?
