    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    Haven't done any benchmarking yet - is there a specific tool suggested? Everything I've thrown at it so far has run smooth as butter at high settings. Everything. The responsiveness to your motion is as good as flawless, no jitter or lag whatsoever for me, it feels completely natural as you...

    Windows 10

    Seems the OS division are oblivious to the reception the original XBox One (with obligatory Kinect/online connection) had at it's E3 reveal. Won't take long for this to be the butt of many similar conspiracy theories/Gifs!

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    It is accomplished. Apologies for prehistoric camera phone images. Opted for throwing more of the budget at the GPU rather than going X99/DDR4, so it's: CPU: i7 4790k Cooler: Noctua D15 Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X Gaming GT GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 980 PSU: Corsair 850i Case: Coolermaster CM...

    Raspberry Pi 2 unveiled with faster processor and more memory

    I haven't had a shot yet, but this guy says it's not up to it: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2368328

    I wish HVD Recordable had actually arrived way back when they were announced. Would have made my backups a lot tidier by now if they had.

    Raspberry Pi 2 unveiled with faster processor and more memory

    That's reassuring, I guess it'll be testing it's limits when I start sticking lots of accessories into it. What's the worst that could happen.......! Seems odd to bundle such a low rated PSU with a bundle that includes two Wireless adaptors for starters...

    Raspberry Pi 2 unveiled with faster processor and more memory

    My Pi2 just arrived. Came bundled with what claims to be a 1amp PSU, though the stated spec says 1.8a is what's needed. On the other hand, other users of the same bundle aren't complaining, so maybe it's enough to get going?

    New Commodore 64 cases anyone?

    Yes, it's apparently an anti-oxidant ingredient itself breaking down that causes most yellowing - http://www.answers.com/Q/Why_does_old_white_plastic_turn_yellow Though the irreversible part isn't necessarily the case, like Retrobright, there are 'solutions' out there to try at your own risk...

    New Commodore 64 cases anyone?

    You could probably coat them with a wax type solution to stave off oxidation, or you could try rejuvinating them if/when it becomes obvious - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retr0bright

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    Similarly, using a smartphone, Viewmasters are being reborn later this year: http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/13/google-mattel-view-master-hands-on/ Could be another great device to play with your own 3D/360 degree material very inexpensively!

    Lenovo - WTF?

    Does it? Sorry, posting on my Pandora, it caused no ill-effects on it. Changed the link to a different news source though, in case that's not just apt humour :)

    Lenovo - WTF?

    I guess this also belongs in the WTF category: Microsoft store is hosting pirate copies/malware/scam sales: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tech/news/a630771/microsofts-windows-store-may-have-a-piracy-problem.html EDIT: Link changed to alternative news source

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    Any advice on a monster PC build for use with a Rift? I've been given a budget of €2000 (approx £1488 / $2267). It'll be purely for VR, so essentially a gaming rig. I'm a bit out of touch, last PC build I did was in 2009, so I'm bewildered by all the cpu and ram variants. A rough selection I...

    Release BurgerSpace

    My SD was created using the SD Installer and the latest Super Zaxxon 1.71 pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2 image, maybe something is missing in the process. ETA: Update worked, it launches now :) Thanks!

    Release BurgerSpace

    Updated, same thing happens with a slight variation in the pndrun_burgerspace.out : Sorry for the headaches ;) Could it be down to running OS from SD? Any other users doing that playing successfully?

    Release BurgerSpace

    I can't seem to get it to run - I'm using SZ1.71 from SD card on a CC unit, downloaded the Burgerspace pnd twice but it won't launch. I'm doing something wrong! Here's the necessary file:

    The Interview by Sony Pictures Entertainment (plus President Obama)

    It was sort of Meh. Not especially funny, not particularly offensive. I gather they deleted the 'morning after the orgy' scene. I guess they saved that for the directors cut.

    That's what I figured, it's back to normal now!
