Thank you Valentine. I'll give those games a look. They are very interesting. The type of video games that also influence me as a filmmaker are like that of Metal Gear Solid. It's a bit difficult to describe, but the idea stemmed from this link: http://nofilmschool.com/2013/05/movie-film-watch-learn-craft-filmmaking-jack-perez

Games that would help craft original storytelling ideas. Right now I'm playing Fallout 2 and it is helping me because of the in-depth storyline and characters. Killer 7 also helped too.

What I think could also help are like the point and click video games.

Picture it like how a painter can learn a lot about painting by looking at famous photographs. The photographs teach the painter what the outlines are like in the picture, what the lights are like in the real world, etc.

Again, thank you Mr. Valentine. That was helpful of you.

Ah yes, y'all can indeed vote for a ticket that you are running on.

You know what would be nice? If Windows 7 allowed you to have the little square icons on the task bar but didn't combine them when you have multiple windows of the same application open. The task bar properties window makes you choose between never combining or using the little square icons. Pft!

Ugh. Why would you voluntarily choose to have the square icons??

We recorded a new video for Flash Buddies today - we played Castle Crashers AND we used dynamic compression to properly level the volume of Jessie's screams, so look forward to watching one of our videos without damaging your ears

Some time in the next few weeks I want to execute a plan I have developed for a short film I've wanted to make for a while. My brother and I have done many short films in the past and really enjoy making them, but they've been pretty low-quality. For the next video we make I want to raise the bar dramatically, which will be exciting and fun

Because having the window title next to the icon is unnecessary and makes finding things cumbersome when you have many windows open.

I find the exact opposite. The computers at work are all set to use the square icons and it's extremely frustrating trying to find the right window when they're all just icons. The names are there for a reason and I will never understand people that want to remove them.

This.

Of course this only works when the programs have easily distinguishable icons and when you don't have to switch between different instances of the program constantly.

Yeah, exactly. Perhaps a system where applications running under one instance have square icons, then applications running under multiple instances have the longer icons with names on them, or some other way of differentiating between them.

Is title text necessary here?



That's how my task bar looks currently; I see absolutely no need whatsoever for title text.

I've always switched back to having text next to the icons. There's no reason to cram them all together If I ever need to have a lot of things open, it's usually within a program. I use a 1440p monitor so I have tons of space anyways.

Well, having a larger screen probably helps. My primary monitor is 1600 pixels wide, so only about 8 applications would fill up the task bar. I personally think stuff looks a lot less crowded and neater with the square icons. Most of the icons can't even fit the full title text anyway, which drives my OCD tendencies a little crazy.

I'm with Clonkex, text next to the icons is sometimes very essential to your workflow and thus productivity.

Now that I have a 1440p monitor I can switch from the square tiles (I honestly always hated them) and not worry about running out of space. I would have done that on my old display anyway, but it looked AWFUL and for some reason they never appeared properly. Now that I have switched displays it's all hunky-dory!

This. Sometimes I do open a separate window if I'm listening to last.fm or something, so that I don't close out of chrome and kill my music.

Clearly you have no understanding. Of anything.

Seriously though, it's because I have about 10 tabs per window. I separate the windows to keep the tabs from being too cluttered. I'm actually quite amazed that more people don't have as many Chrome tabs open as I do normally.

It's not where you kept the tabs that made me ask that question, but how many tabs you keep that made me ask the question. Of course, I don't mean it to be a disrespectful question.

So, even though there's no pricing on this or anything yet, I think this card is going to be the one that truly lets AMD shine again.

R9 Fury Nano specs

It's more powerful and WAY more efficient than the 290X, meaning it's more powerful than what I've got now - and it's literally half the size!

I could CrossFire two of these much more easily than I could the Fury X, because of its small size and better power requirements. My case can really only hold cards about 10.55" inches in length. The Fury X is one inch longer than that, so I'm kinda screwed if I want it...

Once they release pricing info it will be interesting to see how well it stacks up against other cards. I imagine two of them in a system would be just as powerful (technically speaking, of course) as a full-fledged Fury X, or 980ti, for a fraction of the cost.

What do you think Dar13?

Muuuuuuch better

The Un-subscriber and subscriber was probably me, happened by way of YouTube casual fizziness but only happened once I think...

Did you like the game? I watched half and skipped bits the rest... did not seam like you commented parts of the gameplay if I missed it... perhaps get more of that in the first half of the videos ^^

Been a bit busy today, otherwise would have had it playing in full... maybe later when I have more sit down time lol...

On another note... Steam Streaming to local machines is a great way to play Full Quality on a minimal device via a headless rig! [Monitor detached system] [Doing this also frees up the GPU oh the host to play at any resolution and not be limited by the host attached monitor spec... meaning even on a 720p client screen you can still play a game running at a higher resolution lol, I might try this with 4K tomorrow ]

Even AGKV2 works on Steam that way!

Been playing super intensive games through my HP Stream 7 with an xbox 360 pad... [waiting on the new revised xbox One pads to come out!!!] but mainly leaving my Surface Pro 2 to be free to record in the background in HD or even stream live!

There are a few kinks on some games like 3DMark and GRID AutoSport... etc... but mostly it all works...

So is that what you want to see? I have been wondering exactly what we should try to focus on when chatting in our game videos. Maybe we should be talking more about what we think of the game. Seems logical to me

Crossfire/SLI isn't the best. Personally, I'd rather stick to a flagship single GPU setup rather than a slightly lower but Crossfire/SLI setup simply due to greater compatibility with games/OS's.

The R9 Nano is a sweet card, perfect for Mini-ITX/ITX/Mini-ATX/HTPC builds. Definitely will look into it when pricing/release date info is released.

This. You're generally far better off to save up a bit more and buy a single, more powerful GPU than to try to Crossfire/SLI two weaker GPUs.

Well if I can't crossfire can I claim page?

EDIT: Points, I meant points!

But yeah, I probably won't actually Crossfire, I probably will find a way to get the Fury X. I was just considering Crossfiring the R9 Nano as a possible backup plan in case the Fury X is too big, as I believe it may be...
