TimeShift Review

I found it hard writing this review and trying to express how I actually felt about this game…I still don’t think I expressed myself as well as I would have liked.

Anyway, I’ll let you people be the judge of that.

My monitor is slow on the uptake

Okay, this ghosting issue with my monitor is starting to piss me off a bit.

At first, I didn’t even really notice it. It was just a brief flicker that barely caught my attention.

Then it began to manifest itself in one game. Then two. Then pretty much any game where a light image was moving over a darker one. Namely, all of them.

Sometimes, when I’m really immersed, I don’t even notice it (like in Assassin’s Creed, for instance). But when I do, it’s all I can see.

 

I’m this close to returning the bastard and going back to my faithful Viewsonic.  

Links on Tuesday

I woke up to the sound of rain today - it was all I could do to keep from resuming my strange dreams.

Anyway, only a few for today…I want to make some headway into this work.

  • IBM have made a patent that introduces ads into DVDs you rent. I mean, we IBMers love the patents…but this one makes me wretch violently. They think that we would be willing to look at their shitty commercials to save a few bucks? Ain’t gonna happen with me.
  • Deus Ex 3 is in the works. Trailer in the link. Woo.
  • New achievements may be in the works for PC TF2ers. I’ve hardly made a dent in my list…
  • The upcoming Xbox 360 update will have a social networking-like component. Goddamnit, the 360 was my last refuge from this damned fad. Is nothing sacred?!
