I take my full sized notebook into the shitter with me because I don't give a damn.

Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are sandbox games. The side quests include a lot of very interesting content and are quite fun. They aren't necessary to beat the main quest but they add realism to the game world.

What part of hyperbole do you not understand?

Was their hit FarCry, FarCry 2 or Crysis?

I guess you didn't notice water running under the street, then? Saying "not as optimized as well as they could have been" is like saying the budget deficit is a tad large.

Crysis 2 is now one giant benchmark that is biased toward Nvidia.

This one is just blatant as fuck. Tessellated invisible water running under everything? Really? Nvidia has been touting their better tessellation performance for how long now? And Crysis was the benchmark of choice so they had to go muddying up Crysis 2 to try to get the advantage.

No. There's water under the ground taking up valuable GPU time. It's slowing performance everywhere. Just happens to be worse on AMD cards.

I'm betting a lot of review sites wanted to use it as a DX11 benchmark but they found out about this crap and put a stop to that. If you do see a review site using it to benchmark DX11 you know they're shady or biased or not terribly thorough.

Who funded the program?

Thanks Slashdot for posting an article that tells half the story so we can easily tell who's smart enough to look into the full story (Bush admin bought all those servers that we didn't need and Obama is saving us money by shutting them down).

Indeed, I do not prefer monarchy. I prefer a system that works, where people can take risks and make decisions backed up by data. There are both government agencies and areas of the private sector where this occurs but we should strive ever forward and our goal should be smarter decisions balancing risk and reward with as little standing in the way of good decision making as possible.

There are a lot of smart people in government and usually the fewer people involved in a decision the better the decision will be. None of us is as dumb as all of us and Congress is a committee of 528 people. I have a hard enough time getting five people to decide on anything at work much less a Byzantine committee of 538 preening attention whores who are legally allowed to take bribes to stay in power.

He had an hour to play and then Bethesda kicked him off the system. That's why.
