Mobile Game Devs Cutting Back on Android Investment
Posted 11/22/2009 at 12:04:04pm
I hope Google sorts out these problems. I have a Black Berry Storm now and while it's a decent phone for business and e-mail - Entertainment apps like games are seriously lacking. I'd like to move to an Android based platform...but am hesitant as long as I keep hearing about all these problems.
Come on Google, get this stuff fixed so us consumers have a viable alternative to the iPhone.
iBuyPower Turns 10, Giving Away a System to Celebrate
Posted 11/20/2009 at 08:14:14pm
As an actual (former) customer of ibuy Power; I can tell you all - Don't waste your time.
Bought a system from these guys about 7 years ago. DOA - Sent it back. System came back DOA again. I mean...I can't believe these guys are still in business. LOL, look at their BBB rating. Are there really that many people still buying this overpriced crap?
Well, on second thought; maybe I should thank them. After my experience with iBuy Crap, I learned how to put together a PC myself. So....thanks iBuy Crap...I would have never experienced the joys of building my own rig had I never experiened the ineptitude of your system builders and tech support!
Modern Warfare 2 PC Multiplayer Capped at 9v9, Says Infinity Ward
Posted 11/05/2009 at 01:31:06pm
Infinty Ward just lost this customer. I was really looking forward to this game, but capping the PvP at 9v9 is just too much.
To tell you the truth - I'm not too bothered by this turn of events and even expected it. Ever Since the PC lost Halo - it seems publishers and developers have been chasing after the console crowd and nearly ignoring the PC as a platform. But thanks to the modding community and games with super replay value - this latest news stings much less.
OK Infinity, Activision, EA, etc. You all can go worship at the alter of consoles. As for me; I will spend my hard earned money on the developers and modding community that still care about making a good product for the PC.
Time to fire up some Theatre of War II, or maybe Counter Strike, or maybe Forgotten Hope (Battlefield II Mod)...really, there are so many :D
How We Test Wireless Routers
Posted 02/24/2009 at 07:43:36pm
Just read your router article in the January edition of MPC. What caught my attention was your new house being built on what was once a dairy farm. I grew up in a rural area till much of it was paved over with new houses, strip malls, etc. Even though the crush of development and the problems it brought (transportation, taxes, crime, etc.) were a real bummer; I had hoped we would finally get an alternative to dial up internet. There is a satellite solution, but from what I've seen - it is only marginally faster than dial up. So here's my question: How does an employee for MPC put up with painfully slow internet? Is there a sweet DSL, cable, or (dare I say) fiber optic option that you have somehow been able to acquire? Thanks much in advance
