Microsoft Solitaire meets all the criteria for the World Video Game Hall of Fame…

Its the sneakest of tutorials

It taught people how to use a GUI and a mouse.

Yes, and today on Earth there are more Windows users than any other OS. Well played, Bill Gates.

On another note; well played, Ed Boon as well (Mortal Kombat got inducted this year as well as Microsoft Solitaire).

Coincidentally, both of them have 1 syllable first names and 1 syllable last names…

A great one at that. Definitely one of the best Metroid clones, way more combat focused than most.

This game is still free via Steam until tomorrow…

we won’t see any specs on anything besides the top-end chips until their E3 presser, which I believe is next week. The keynote that starts at 10pm Eastern tonight is basically gonna unveil the X570 platform, and may go into detail about some of the higher-end stuff (12/16 core chips).

Needless to say, I’m gonna start working on getting my upgrade budget together once my wife’s PC is put together. (I only need about $375 to get her remaining parts).

Edit: AMD Keynote just ended … new top-end CPU from them is the 3900X. 12 cores and 24 threads for the same cost as a Core i9 9900k. I want to hold out for one of these, but $500 is an incredible ask from me. I may end up going with the higher clocked 3800X at $400.

Here’s a AMD Keynote recap thanks to Paul’s Hardware:

Edit:

Also, I’ll be posting a lot of YT videos from Computex, since it’s going on now in Taipei. I’ll try to get those videos posted before I head out the door for work each day.

Edit 2: First Two Computex Videos from GamersNexus (one of which features Linus from LinusTechTips):


And this one from Hardware Unboxed (looks to be a recap of the AMD keynote):

Edit 3: Final one from Gamers Nexus.

sorry for missing yesterday, cable company bodied my internet for 24 hours in order to activate my new modem. Mrs. Mike and I had been renting a modem from them until yesterday morning. With this post, I should be up to date on videos.

Anywho, time for videos!
