Zing!

Did you know there's an Oculus enabled SL beta available?

There never were actually that many furries in SL. What's keeping SL alive are the 25-55 year old women.

I really don't know why people associate furries with SL, since they are HUGELY outnumbered by every other demographic. Personally I think the association exists because a bunch of slashdotter-nerds, entering SL to check it out, headed to the more nerdy spots in SL: scripter/builder hangouts/sandboxes...and thusly ran into SL's heavily furry scripter/builder/aspie crowd. They're not furry because of the sex, they're furry because they feel alienated from real-world social culture and the average SL social culture too. Their furry form is a "take that" to the "barbie's and kens"

Why would you have to do that? Aren't iTunes songs DRM free AAC these days?

/me googles. Ah, it's Windows only, thats why I hadn't heard of that. Unlike Firefall, Destiny and Defiance are cross-platform.

Oh? Thanks for the info. The impression I got from the early media/promotion was that it was PvP, not PvE. I'm more of a PvE type so I basically ignored the game.

Warframe's more like Dust514, a more traditional team based pvp shooter with some RPG elements.

Destiny and Defiance are PvE centric.

When I first heard about this game I was thinking, "Oh, someone's going to try to do a more successful Defiance"? Defiance being the sci-fi MMO shooter based on the Syfy TV series of the same name. I played the Destiny Beta, and it's basically Defiance.with faceless master-chief-ish characters. It wasn't equal to Defiance during the beta and I was wondering how they'd get it done in time because it wasn't "ready" and needed more work. I actually told someone that "unless they put a lot of work in it, you're better off playing Defiance. Defianceisn't the greatest game either, but the PS4 doesn't have Defiance so you're stuck with Destiny if you want a similar experience on the PS4."

Where have you been for the past 14 years, you don't need a dongle. Consoles DO allow you to use a mouse and keyboard, but as drinkypoo says, the question is whether the game supports it.

The PS2/PS3/PS4 have USB ports for a reason. I have games for all 3 that have mouse and/or keyboard support.

I run pulseaudio on Fedora 20, mute/unmute works fine every time I press the button on the keyboard.

I don't have it installed myself, but packages are available in Fedora's repositories.

I use Pulseaudio on Fedora 20. Mute/unmute works just fine.

Minecraft is already on the PS4, this won't help the Xbox One.

There's more things to do now. Game spaces and whatnot with mini-golf, Sodium, Novus Prime, etc. You can use it as a sort of "hub" to organize multiplayer games too.

Ditto.

I thought it was simultaneously released on PC and PSone. Yep, April '99 on the PC, May of '99 on the PSone.

Very interesting game. For those who haven't played it, it's an RTS with 3D map and units. (which is why it runs better on the PSone than the C&C's do) You design/build the units from building blocks of chassis, drive systems, weapons. Unlike other RTS's your units are smarter and collect experience. You actually want to recycle units and repair units and have the commands available to tell your units to "return to that location when damaged" or "use indirect fire at this target being painted by a target acquisition unit"

And the UI changes based on what controls you have in the PSone version. Plug in the PSone mouse and you get more on screen buttons. (though you'll lose the direct unit control hidden feature)

It's fully open source now too.

PSN (PlayStation Network) says hello as well.

Games are large, these days, and I for one enjoy being able to download what I just bought at a reasonable speed.
