PINSTRIPE, THE TALE OF AN EX-MINISTER PURSUING HIS DAUGHTER THROUGH THE BOWELS OF HELL, ARRIVES IN APRIL
http://www.pcgamer.com/pinstripe-the-tale-of-an-ex-minister-on-a-quest-in-the-bowels-of-hell-is-coming-in-april/
Thomas Brush, the creator of Skinny and Coma—both available and very well-regarded on Newgrounds—went to Kickstarter last year in search of $28,000 to fund his next project, Pinstripe, a 2D adventure about an ex-minister who journeys to Hell in search of his daughter. He ended up with more than $106,000, which enabled him to expand its scope considerably, adding voice acting, an "adventure+" mode, and a bonus level set in Heaven. Today, just a hair over a year after the campaign concluded, he announced that work is almost complete, and the game will be out on April 25.

JEFF KAPLAN 'EXTREMELY OPEN-MINDED' ABOUT OVERWATCH MAP EDITOR
http://www.pcgamer.com/jeff-kaplan-extremely-open-minded-about-overwatch-map-editor/
Between stories of players donating PC parts to other lesser equipped players, intricate community ARGs, and a sophisticated cosplay scene—the Overwatch community is a busy one. Yet, against other similar communities, one thing the arena shooter is missing is a map editor. Game director Jeff Kaplan reckons that's something he and his team would definitely consider, suggesting the idea is on its "long-term road map."

TROLL AND I OUT NOW, DROPS EAR DRUM-BURSTING CINEMATIC LAUNCH TRAILER
http://www.pcgamer.com/troll-and-i-out-now-drops-ear-drum-bursting-cinematic-launch-trailer/
The troll in Spiral House and Maximum Games' puzzle adventure Troll and I is not happy. I guess that's because it feels unfairly persecuted by humanity—and while that's probably the case, its appearances in trailers up to now have portrayed an angry and dangerous creature who slaps the ground, screams at the top of its lungs, and bats human being around at will.

But it's not only an SSD drive. It can also act as system RAM. You connect that to the motherboard, set things up and boom! Now you have 375GB of aditional RAM.

...

Yeah, it's great for servers and such, but kind of useless for personal computers.

Yea but it's very slow ram. I think like you said, maybe good for servers but for my computer, I will stick with my SSDs.

SSDs are generally a bad idea. Now that I have my super fast 960 Pro I have to wait even longer for those slow ass people loading a tiny RL map.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I don't have any mechanical HDD, they're all dead, so, yeah.. my two Kingston UV400 960GB are on the way this Thursday along with BenQ XL2540(a 25' full HD monitor with 240Hz).



I have a bunch.

Desktop:

1 SSD (500gb)
3 HDD (3.5TB)

Laptop:

1 SSD (500 GB)
1 HDD (750GB)

3 external hard drives. (4TB)

No mechanical HDDs... congrats, I guess. I still have a few of them.

About that monitor, will you use those lateral panels, or are you going to use it as a normal person would?

In any case, I hope you like it. I'm so used to an IPS screen that I'd never consider going back to TN. I'll go to either another IPS or a VA monitor (OLED is out of the question for another few years).

Rarely will use laternal panels when i change position in the future.

There are three VA monitors existing closely like mine 240Hz, however they're ultrawide 30 or bigger inch and overclockable from 144Hz to 200Hz maxed(Using displayport) PLUS G-Sync or Freesync.
