You’ll get a double jump pretty early into the game anyway so it’s not something you’ll have to deal with for too long. It’s all about the catapult tho.

Gauntlet series is getting a reboot

Exodus_1 · 2014-03-17T19:12:31.000Z

I fuckin love gauntlet.

Ehh looks like another Diablo clone which is disappointing as I was hoping for a more arcade style beat’emup up like Gauntlet Legends. Unless it plays very differently I don’t see a reason to play it over D3 RoS or PoE, but who knows game play didn’t show much so I won’t make judgments yet.

Not a fan of the RTS genre, but I could see myself giving in sometime within the week depending on my mood. Wouldn’t mind playing Binary Domain & Renegade Ops again & trying out Typing of the Dead & Alpha Protocol for as low as $6. Germany gets Sonic All Stars Transformed in place of Typing of the Dead. Had we gotten the same it would’ve been an instant sale, no question.

Well whadya know, All Stars Transformed just went on sale for $5 on the Humble Store. It also has Shadow Warrior for $10. This week is off to a good start .

If SLI two Tesla K40’s, will that make Big Rigs run at 500 frames per second?

Manx · 2014-03-18T06:45:36.000Z

If you SLI two of those, I think you just need to go ahead and invent virtual reality, since you obviously can afford the research. :tup:

Speaking of SLI, I could use a bit of advice on a graphic card. I’m still using the same basic setup I’ve had since 2010, an i5 with two 550ti’s, but it’s really starting to show its age here. I’m trying to stay below $200, so I was looking at the 750 to replace them. Is there anything else that should be on my radar? I’m not a huge PC gamer, so I don’t need anything too crazy, just something that will make Titanfall look as pretty as I can get it for the budget.

Sonicabid · 2014-03-18T10:42:31.000Z

@kitsunisan 750 is definitely the way to go at that budget.

Thanks. I’m guessing I’ll be seeing a significant improvement over dual 550’s? Haven’t been keeping up with graphic cards lately. I know I should just drop the extra hundred on the 760, but I was blindsided with a few expenses lately, and as infrequently as I fire up my PC for gaming I just can’t justify it.

View-Master

View-Master is the trademark name of a line of special-format stereoscopes and corresponding View-Master "reels", which are thin cardboard disks containing seven stereoscopic 3-D pairs of small color photographs on film. It was manufactured and sold by Sawyer's. The View-Master system was introduced in 1939, four years after the advent of Kodachrome color film made the use of small high-quality photographic color images practical. Tourist attraction and travel views predominated in View-Master's ...

Arkham Origins is $10 on Steam until Monday. Season pass is $5. Don’t know the extent of the problems the game has but, is it worth $15?
