Episode 434: Windows Issues

This week’s episode was delayed due to serious Windows issues this past week. The episode was saved, however, and is 90 minutes full of discussion. The podcast deals with a lot of console hardware rumors.

The news items include:

  • Rumor: PS4 Neo being unveiled in early September
  • Nintendo NX launch and spec details leak
  • Before you play Dishonored 2, you should finish the first game’s DLC says Arkane

All this and Listener Feedback.

  1. I liked the auction house in Diablo 3 because it allowed for more gear homogenization; if my character got an item that did not help that specific class as much as another item, I could possibly auction that loot and buy a better suited one.

    The 6 TFLOPS available on Scorpio make it comparable to an overclocked RX 480, so it might be capable of running Doom without dynamic resolution scaling, and consoles use low-level APIs similar to Vulkan, but we don’t know the CPU specifications.

    Thank you for mentioning me!

Due to a malicious trojan virus that infected my desktop, this week’s podcast is delayed, perhaps indefinitely. The podcast was recorded, but there’s no way to edit it while the PC is in this state.

Worst comes to worst, a new podcast will be recorded next week.
