*p.s and as for being "technologically inept"  i blame that on being "special ed" as a child lol (although that isnt any excuse)
Individuals who are tagged as such by those whom demand conformity don't necessarily end up as the average person. ;)

True about kids becoming insanely entitled, though I've seen moat of the criticism come from older teens and young adults. It's deplorable how this has turned out; I expected nothing but praise save for the occasional mutter from Sony fanboys.

Note that I do not wish to have a sharp tone, although I am very irritable today.

In terms of what a hardware conference is and what a software conference is, yes, gamers appear to have forgotten what they are. The focus of the system features (TV integration, multitasking and Kinect 2.0 chat for example) was an overview of some operating system functions. That's where everyone's tripping up: the differences between hardware, the operating system/firmware, and software. You expect games (software) to be showcased in a hardware conference just weeks before E3 (The time period when games are showcased)? It's terrible how technologically inept people are becoming...

And yes. The hardware was indeed showcased, along with additional (and extensive) information after the conference. It was as expected.

Also, before you cite "Well Sony showed us some gaemz." while that is indeed true, the date of their rushed conference (February 20th) allowed for it. Months prior to E3 compared to mere weeks. E3 has been confirmed numerous times to be when Microsoft wants to announce everything. I find that the reaction to the Xbox One and the conference in general is beyond all reason. Have gamers become so arrogant and so entitled that they wish all of the developers to show all of their cards at once? Frankly, that can't be called anything short of irrational.

i HAD to stop reading at the beginning, when you said "which barely showed any games for us."  they did mention in the beginning of the reveal that the games would be shown off at E3, im guessing you missed that part

...and as for the always be connected part, i cant say your wrong OR right because my memory is already a little fuzzy but i dont recall them denying or saying yes to that in the reveal, in fact i dont think they even mentioned it, im pretty sure those are still rumors.

All rumors at the moment, nothing was mentioned at #XboxReveal

Precisely. It seems most gamers have forgotten what and when E3 is and, even more damningly, forgot the difference between hardware and software. I realize that all the Xbox One hate will dissipate once E3 comes around and I know that gamers are on edge due to the state of the industry, but that's not the point... all this negative and frankly childish fanfare is surreal. It's a very embarrassing time to be a gamer right now, not gonna lie...

For the record I was wholly pleased by the May 21st conference. I still don't understand the alleged "massive disappointment" here. E3 is less than a month away, be glad that we got a teaser for the 15+ games to be shown in the first place.

If I'm not mistaken, the upcoming (and free) Windows 8.1 update will re-add the Start Menu.

In the end though, if gaming was as prominent on linux as it is windows, i'd have left windows years ago.
Same. I personally use OS X Mountain Lion and iOS for just about everything these days, including gaming. My MacBook has a Windows 7 partition just so that I can use Visual Studio and play Star Wars: The Old Republic (No Mac client yet). Everything else is on my primary OS X partition.

@Pyro: The Last of Us? (PS: Best avatar in the world)


Right, also, yes Fluttershy is the Goddess, and nopony can stop her /)

Sweet. I've been on the fence about getting it. IGN's recent vids have almost convinced me. I've never been a fan of zombie games, but The Last of Us looks amazing as a story based game.

And hell yes she is. Fluttershy is best pony. /) *kop*

@Pyro: The Last of Us? (PS: Best avatar in the world)

@Sora: I was getting used to Windows 8 until it told me that I could only ever use one Skype account per user account and I would never be able to switch it. I reinstalled Windows 7 the following morning, that was the last straw.



I use eight total desktops via Spaces; this is just one of the eight wallpapers used.

Uhh, so what should i have done then?

First of all it's good that you brought this up, apparently the tutorials section needs to be updated with new threads. To provide an answer to your original question regarding winRAR not recognizing the numbered archive files, there are a couple ways of doing this. First, you could open the winRAR program itself and drag & drop the .001 .002 etc files that extract from the archive files you downloaded into the winRAR user interface and click the big 'ol "Extract To" button. (Don't rename any files or any of their extensions, this will just mess up the process) What I recommend doing is right-clicking on the .001 file that comes out in Explorer and going to Properties > Opens with [Click the Change... button] > If winRAR isn't listed in the box that comes up, hit Browse > navigate to the folder where winRAR is installed, select the main executable and hit Open. > OK > Apply/OK. Now you should be able to double-click the .001 file and it should open up in winRAR, allowing you to extract it anywhere.



I don't have any of the RAR files from 128bit, so I just used a file I had lying around for the example. The steps should be the same. If this isn't clear enough or if you run into another problem, feel free to ask.

Oh by the way, the .sfv files are files that allow users to check the integrity of the downloaded files. You don't necessarily have to mess with those unless you want to be sure that the files aren't corrupted from the download. (Which can happen on rare occasions) You can use any free SFV file checker program to use them.

I hope that helps answer your questions. Again, feel free to ask if it doesn't.

Hey guys, WG here. It has been quite some time since we've really seen each other. How is everyone? =) I've been hovering around here a little bit, though I've been really busy with classes and some personal projects.
I've been wondering, where has everyone gone? Are any of the old faces still lurking about? Raysie, grim, Sora, Space, Eltrion, DongerZ... anyone still care to give a wave?
