Ahh, Louis C.K. I’ve watched a few of his specials, but until recently I really didn’t know too much about him. In the last few weeks I’ve gone back and listened to more of his stuff and I’ve come to this conclusion. This is a guy with a completely twisted viewpoint on the world, totally morose and morbid… and it’s hysterical all at the same time. The only reason he’s not one of my favorite comedians is only because of his prevailing use of profanity. I can get by with a few curse words, but I don’t personally really care for the level he chooses to use on stage. Having said that, he’s a great comedian, and I think he comes across as a guy with a thick outer shell and a very soft inside.

Since the launch minor issues have been growing, and today Blizzard Confirms an overheating issue. However, this story has been spun by the technology community even to the point where Slashdot picked up on it. It has been given menacing sounding titles such as “Is Starcraft II bad for your graphics card?” by ZDnet and “Is Starcraft II Killing Graphics Cards” by Slashdot. A much more appropriate title to the actual problem is one given by OverClockersClub “Starcraft 2 causing some GPU’s to Overheat”
The problem is that during some of the in-between mission screens, cut screens and menu screens are not frame capped like the actual game play is. This causes the GPU to render these screens as fast as possible. Since these screens are simple and, for the most part, static, the computer has an easy time and is able to render these very quickly causing the GPU to heat up. This increased heat and power consumption exposes flaws in Starcraft II players’ computers, causing crashes, reboots, and even some claimed GPU failures. (more…)
UFC Undisputed 2010 is the 2nd edition of the THQ line of UFC games and, as expected, it makes some improvements over last years game. Here’s the big changes that they touted:
I can tell you that they really delivered on most of those promises. However, this game has been plagued with a number of problems on the online side, so I didn’t mess with that at all. For my thoughts on that parts I did play though, follow me after the jump. (more…)
