    EA is Lying! Don’t Buy Their Games

    EA recently released a statement and some gamers have used it as an excuse to buy Star Wars Battlefront 2. This video will tell you why you need to avoid it and other EA games. We need them to know we are serious. Share this video so we can raise awareness.

    Killing Net Neutrality: The FCC & The Big ISPs Plan For the Internet

    There are three kinds of people: Those who understand technology, those who are clueless, and those who will do anything for money. Most of the people in key, decision making positions are in the third category (including FCC chair, Ajit Pai). This isn’t going to be a full article, the rest of the internet has written plenty on the subject. Instead, I’m going to list out everything this FCC would like to accomplish (as I see it). Let’s not forget that Ajit Pai’s FCC is basically a subsidiary of the big players in the ISP field at this point. He…

    Firefox is Back | Firefox Quantum is “Faster Than Chrome”

    I am writing a post using Firefox; dawn of a new day. I’ve always used Firefox for front-end development because it is light years ahead when it comes to viewing source, messing with CSS in the browser, but it was always slower and clunkier than Chrome. Here is a short list of what Mozilla is claiming about Firefox 57 (Quantum): A new engine that is 2x faster 30% lighter than Chrome, the RAM eater Private browsing and tracking protection New standards for extensions (many old ones will stop working) See the rest here: www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ In my own testing, I am…

    Blizzard Mocks EA and Pay-to-Win Microtransactions In New Video

    Blizzard, right on the heels of the EA turmoil, has released a commercial for now free to play StarCraft II. The timing is interesting but Blizzard was surely working on this before the EA drama on Reddit. Here is the video: Blizzard is an AAA developer and they are damn good at making money. This puts them in an interesting position. They have spoken out against pay-to-win and will now be held to that standard by the community. Whenever a developer/publisher as large as Blizzard releases something free I am always looking for the catch. It looks like StarCraft II…

    EA Will Reach 1 Million Reddit Downvotes for Defending Microtransactions

    I present, the most downvoted comment in Reddit history: This was posted in response to outrage regarding how much unlocking new characters would cost (It’s about twice what you’d expect to pay for a very polished, new indie game). To be fair, you can earn enough points to unlock new characters… after about 40+ hours of gameplay. The bottom line here is that EA makes way more money with the new business model of micro-transactions than they ever did when standard game sales. It is the future of AAA gaming. The gaming industry is larger than the film industry now.…

    Making Chiptune Metal on Daemon Slayer | What I Used

    You want know how to make chiptunes? How about how to make chiptune metal? These tools might help. The latest album was a bit of a departure in sound, though not in mood. It took some finagling to get the sounds used on the album, and I’ve received a few questions regarding this.  I’m not going to share all the secrets (mainly because some of it was complicated beyond the scope of an article), but I’ll let you know what VST plugins I used for the chiptune sounds and what effects VSTs I used on them (all links will be…

    MSI GTX 1070 Ti Benchmarks VS GTX 1080 & GTX 1070

    The Nvidia GTX 1070 ti is here. The card fits into an interesting place, between the GTX 1070 and the GTX 1080. You will see several different versions of this card, but notice that they are all at or around the stock speed. The reason for this is likely due to the fact that overclocked or extreme-edition cards would probably be about as fast as a stock GTX 1080, thus cannibalizing on that market some. So, you are paying extra for the fancier PCB, heatsink, VRM, etc. so you can better overclock the card yourself. Check prices: MSI GTX 1070…
