AxeManiac posted:That new ultima game looks awful. I know Ultima games have never really looked good, but man, it is terrible. The font looks terrible, the characters look cheap. I'm not too thrilled about it, not sure it is going to get funded. They way I see it is that they can't possibly make an Ultima game worse than Ultima IX. (Or could they?) Being such a fan of Ultima in my younger days, I blindly bought the collectors edition of Ultima IX when it game out. The game ran like poo poo on my Nvidia card, so I ended up buying a Voodoo2 card so I could play the game at a decent framerate. Between all the constant crashes and how bad the game was, I never played more than a few hours. It wasn't until recently that I saw the Spoony Experiment retrospective on the Ultima series and found out how much of an abomination Ultima IX actually was. Hopefully without any interference from EA this time, they can pull something decent off.

The Amazing Jellybean So this is a $40 power strip with only two outlets that power cycles your devices on a timer. For only $250, you can get a gold or silver colored one! I don't know about you, but when my Internet is down the last thing I do is cut the power to everything. Almost always it's a problem on Comcast's side. Maybe people need to buy less lovely networking devices?

Fatkraken posted:I'm confused, because I only have one device for connecting to the internet, is this unusual? Dunno the terminology but I've got a little white box that plugs into the phone socket and my computer plugs into that, I think it's the router but there IS no second box.

burritolingus posted:I think the point of the two outlets is you only plug your modem and router to it, so it doesn't power down everything when the internet is down. It's just something that's completely unnecessary because it's honestly not that hard to power down these devices manually. I haven't watched their video, but I imagine it's like those As Seen On TV device commercials, where it's all gray and an idiots stumbles to power off his modem, knocking over things before finally sighing in exasperation, narrator all asking if this has ever happened to you. Then the video is suddenly full of color and they're showing off this easy-to-use device that's going to revolutionize the way you live by making a simple task slightly more simple. Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing earlier, and this video immediately came into mind.
