I've heard that since before becoming a PC gamer. The best thing we can do is ignore them and keep talking about the topic in question.

I honestly wish I had the same head as you but for me I cnanot ignore this type of behaviour, it goes unchecked in some spaces on the net but here we're supposed to be a community that's meant to get along and frankly two other users don't wish things to be that way and something needs to be done about it.

The way they talk about the platform being dead doesn't look like it even begins to stem from data and logic but more malice and concempt, like someone who's been harbouring hate for another userbase and wanted to just speak their say for the sake of ruffling feathers.

It's not about having head, but watching the same thing over and over again. There's a point where you'll no longer care about it, you will only think "Oh, there's still one of those? Poor fool", and then you will move on.

By the way, before Christmas when we tried to do that PC builds thread, you posted a video of Linus building a PC based on server components and a friend of yours tried to make it, and even posted a couple of times here. How's the project going? Has he done it?

The problem is when you ignore one fool, they become two, three, four and so on (we've already seen two saying the exact same bold claims and then going ham on those claims).

I dunno about Kitchensink's progress, I was talking to him earlier today about Dragon's Dogma but I guess I could ask him what's going on with that project.

Trust me, if no one pays them attention, they get bored and stop doing that. Because that's what they want, attention.

Also, lol, no need for that. It's just that the other day I saw a review of a server motherboard (this Gigabyte one) and it came to my mind.

Some really great games in there - Beneath a Steel Sky is one of the last Amiga games I've played before I got PC back in 95 (I used to hate PCs for their upgradability and clinged on to my beloved Amiga as long as I could).

Out ot those, I haven't played 'In Cold Blood'...actually first time I hear of it. Is it any good?

I'd also like to know that!

The news, in one big post.

1-Bench

pcgameshardware.de has put Rise of the Tomb Raider into exam with 18 different graphic cards :

The setting used are Max. Details, Pure Hair Very High and HBAO+ in what I assume is the game's own benchmark, and at the three most common resolutions, 1080/1440/2160p. The game fares better on Nvidia cards.

SAMOROST 3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS REVEALED

http://www.pcgamer.com/samorost-3-system-requirements-revealed/

The whimsical point-and-click adventure Samorost, released in 2003, and the 2005 sequel Samorost 2, were “small web games,” developer Amanita Design explained on the newly-live Steam page for the upcoming Samorost 3. The third game in the series, however, “is our biggest and most ambitious project up to date.” Given that its past work includes the delightful Machinarium and Botanicula, that points to some pretty big changes on the way.

>>Seriously, if any of you needs to upgrade their machines for this game, you don't have a PC, you have a calculator.

COMPETITIVE TF2 CONFIRMED, BETA GROUP NOW OPEN

http://www.pcgamer.com/competitive-tf2-confirmed-beta-group-now-open/

The longevity of Team Fortress 2 continues to astound me. It became free in 2011, but still Valve is grinding out updates (494 patches as of May 2015), reaping the benefits of the virtual hat trade. The coming months will be huge for Team Fortress: the long-rumoured competitive matchmaking has been confirmed, and a Steam group has been set up to coordinate beta invites.

NEW CONAN PROJECT IS... A SURVIVAL GAME?

http://www.pcgamer.com/new-conan-project-is-a-survival-game/

In a flurry of business-speak, Funcom announced in December that Conan Properties had made it "preferred partner" for all Conan the Barbarian videogames. Three are thought to be in the works, and the first has now been revealed. Conan Exiles is... a survival crafting game?

GOG GETS CURATED EARLY ACCESS EQUIVALENT

http://www.pcgamer.com/gog-gets-curated-early-access-equivalent/

I tend to suppress a howl of frustration and rage when confronted with Early Access games. There are some projects for which it makes sense—the modular, the ongoing, the otherwise un-fundable—but these are accompanied by people trying their luck flogging repackaged junk. GOG's new storefront for in-development games is aiming to solve that problem through uncompromising curation.

>>It was only a matter of time.

Ashes of the Singularity enters Beta 1, details here and here.

There will be a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) with Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock, on 7 February. Check it out here.

Sounds like that review on Dtoid was a mistake on their part since other sites like PCGamer are saying it's a good part along with EUGamer and even the likes of TB say it's a good one.

Also Dtoid reports discounts are already going for the game:

In the UK over on GMG it's going for like £26 which sounds like a really good deal for a new AAA port. That's what I snagged Fallout 4 for during Dec over there.
