  • Unlocking iPhone 5s

    In UK phone companies are legally bind to unlock phones when asked to do so. There might be some time constraints, but they do it for free or ~10£.

    Google "GiffGaff unlocking guide" and you should find a lot of tips and reviews on the reliability of the services.

    Hope this helps even if you live somewhere else. Otherwise in big cities there should be several smartphone repair shops that usually also unlock.

    Between the two, I like the One a little better; it's a little concerning to see devs not being able to achieve same performances (resolution) as PS4. But then, I've seen articles recently showing how that could be irrelevant depending on the setup (TV+size of room).

    Other than that, I don't have a PC and my money is going on that first (play+mapping).

  • What have you purchased recently?

    I prefear ambidextrous mouses.

    I bought the Razer Lachesis in 2011-12 but i couldn't use it: no Mac drivers and it just behave weirdly in the normal desktop use (i often had to unplug it to make it work again), and finally had to give up and go back to my Logitech Pilot 300 -_- (which i was replacing in the first place because it was "skipping" and pointer would jump around – oddly enough it started working properly again after the Razer O.o ).


    I'm hoping I'll be able to use it with a PC soon enough, but anyway the problem with that mouse would be that it's too lightweight.

    I can understand trying to put an investment to profit, and Doom is not like a saturated brand.

    What I can't understand is pushing a technology like Tech 5 that seems anachronistic to other projects like Dishonored, forcing the team to migrate to a totally different pipeline.

  • Buying a house and the games industry.

    A little bit OT, but since it was talked about buying a house as a form of investment...

    All this through the Wacom configuration drivers (maybe combined with PS ones) or you used some other software to achieve this?

    Looks much sharper than I remember it, can I ask what are the main tweaks you applied? I would say definitely lighting adjustments and compiling with higher lightmap resolution but if you can add some details i'm all ears

    Is it better for gaming as well? All the reviews about clicking keyboards i have read were from people-who-write point of view (web designers, coders, journalists)

    1080p not yet certain on consoles, PS4 stable framerate. Plus some extra bits of info, like suggested he for PC still not final.

  • Check out Neon, a Puyo Puyo style puzzler coming soon to mobile devices

    • blackdog
    • April 1, 2014 at 9:20 AM

    Tried it yesterday, good to have a test run online. The mechanic is similar to other known games with just a bit different gameplay (I had never played puyo before). Yeah controls are jerky, but if on touchscreen it works well as Tetris, it's perfect.

    Personally I wouldn't buy something like this though, kind of game you get free and ad supported.

    Are you sprucing up the menu?

    Haven't played Portal 2 so I dunno how they compare exploration wise, but looks cool Setin, congrats!

    I think a lot of players enjoy that kind of exploration, although I would think of some kind of "center piece" room where the player would be stuck a lil longer to solve a more time consuming puzzle. (But maybe you have it just after, or had it before, but as someone said, the pace seems a bit off.)

    I'm with Spence, I was trying to make the same point.

    I do agree that there must be conditions and licenses for this kind of initiative, but I'd say it's up to the single designer releasing his source file, can't force anybody making it available, or not.
