ABIT 4200 OTES:
ABIT is still getting tons of press for their OTES cooling solution and their 4200 card that goes along with it. Interesting that the GFFX solution looks to be a takeoff on ABIT's design as well. GamingNexus has the review.
ABIT’s cooling system is a superb design and I can’t wait to see more come out of them. Sure, it’s a little more expensive than other Ti4200 cards out there but you get good quality, the excellent OTES design, decent overclocking capabilities, and the ABIT quality that they are known for.
id Interview:
CEO of id Software takes a few moments to answer some questions for GamesDomain. While not being that interesting to myself overall as it has a lot to do with consoles, you have to love this analogy made by Todd Hollenshead. Thanks Shack!
TH: That was very disappointing. As a developer, as a creator of a work, you never like to see you work released in a format that wasn't under your control. It's kind of like someone coming up behind you and dropping your pants in front of everybody - it may impress the crowd, but it's not a particularly good feeling.
I Am All For It:
I think some rules need to be put into place here in the States as well. That way the adults can continue to get all the cursing, gore, and sex we so much deserve in our games. Just imagine a day gone by where you are not allowed to beat a virtual prostitute to death with a baseball bat. Thanks Paul.
From April all computer games sold in the EU will carry the new classifications. Those with no violent content or sex will be rated 3+, indicating the age from which they can be played. There will also be classifications of 7+, 12+, 16+ and 18+.
