As someone with a Computer Engineering degree from a pretty well respected university, you might think my opinion on this subject might actually have some sort of merit. I have been thinking about it a lot, and I really don’t think anything I can say on this subject is any more relevant then what a 6 year old would say, but I’ll give it a shot. Recently, a couple of things have happened between Intel and nVidia, a little bad blood you could say. Essentially Intel has made claims recently that in the not-so-distant future the graphics card as a separate pc component will become unnecessary, as Intel works to move the graphics processing features onto the die of the CPU itself. Now before I go into nVidia’s rebuttal, I would like to focus on this for a moment, and analyze it. I believe that in the future chip manufacturers […]

Age of Conan, Initial Impressions (Part 2)
Well, I am level 30 now. Not too bad in my opinion considering I have to work full time, prepare for a big move to a new place, and deal with server outages. Since I basically bashed Funcom in my last post I’m going to try to focus simply on the game itself in this one.

As stated in my prior entry I believe they have underestimated the system requirements of the game a good bit. Luckily enough my girlfriend and I […]
Age of Conan, Initial Impressions (Part 1)
Age of Conan, as you probably know, is a new MMORPG published the company Funcom which brought you Anarchy Online; which is pretty much their only title worth mentioning. Now before I go into a review of the game itself, I want to talk about my thoughts going into the game, before actually having played it. I am very weary of Funcom. It is not a company with much of a reputation, good or bad, but I am weary of their experience with, and ability to support, such a lofty endeavor. I have played a few other MMO’s, namely World of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment) and Everquest 2 (Sony Online Entertainment) to a very high degree, and I know what I can come to expect from these games. I started playing WoW the week it was released, and I can say their release didn’t go quite so smoothly either. This tells […]
