  1. Yes, no, both, neither, maybe... Depends on how well done the game is. (I am looking forward to torrenting Dead Island Riptide though)

     

    Death by alcohol poisoning, or death by nicotine overdose?

  2. First 4 videos are unwatchable... Looks like they took a partially destroyed VHS, and tried to make it worse when they ripped it. The Phase IV episode is watchable though. (if you turn on an audio denoise filer to get rid of the pink noise)

  3. What speed was the RAM that they tested? (and the SSD, since the newer SSDs do about double that write speed) I get 10749MB/s uncached read (the slowest read speeds) and 8640MB/s write on the 8GB of PC3-12800 RAM in my laptop, and RAM for desktops goes much higher... Up to 20GB/s uncached read, and 14GB/s write. (AMD for some reason runs at below half that speed... Must have something to do with their processors/motherboards)

     

    Though I disagree about the RAM itself, I do agree that SSDs are best for high-speed high-rez video capture/editing/etc... (and being a perfectionist myself, I understand the desire to have no dropped frames)

     

    [EDIT] I just looked up some excellent (if small) SSDs on Newegg... $80 for a 60GB SSD, and $110 for a 128GB (a little faster too) SSD.

    [EDIT2] I also hear that SSHDs (Solid State Hybrid Drives) have very close to SSD performance for stuff like videos, but they don't compromise your total storage space. (they have 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB versions right now)

  4. It's not the same until they have closer to laser accuracy IMO. At most console control style FPS can't truly go beyond casual gaming... Competitive remains firmly in the realm of PCs.

     

    For example, I'll willingly take on professional console gamers in a cross platform game of Halo, and despite the fact that I kinda suck at it in multiplayer, I'll wipe the floor with them. It's simply because I can see them further away, (higher resolution display) react faster, (mouse controls are naturally more precise and faster) and I can always hack. (just kidding about that last one, I don't do that to people that don't cheat in MP games)

     

    On topic: Minecraft.

  5. Well, you shouldn't really need an SSD... Most decent video capture solutions should be putting it into RAM before writing to the HDD... Just getting a decent selection of high speed RAM in the 16-32GB range should remove 90% of stutter problems. (especially since RAM is about 1000x faster than an SSD, and is usually not very expensive)

    You have indicated that you are either targeting me as an individual for all this hate, or you just don't have the ability to accept that someone may have a completely different opinion than you about a show targeted at 5-10 year old girls.
