here i was all prepared to read my curated list of sloth facts
but apparently you just want tech news fine oh james
yesterday the eighth annual game awards were hosted once again by industry hype
man jeff kate it looks like nightly
but it's not and honestly jeff it was pretty hype nice job the
narrative driven co-op platformer it takes two one game of the year despite
its director josef ferez misbehaving himself on stage in 2017 kind of like
kanye or maybe because of it death loop took home awards for game and art
direction keenub bridge of spirits was the overall winner in the indie category
final fantasy was this 14 online was
recognized for ongoing content development which is very important i
think that's a good category and natus vincere an esports team not a game won
best esports team not best game after racking up multiple cs go trophies
during 2021 but holy crap baby we got
trailers too star wars eclipse looks like it took inspiration from dune
because dune is the lens through which i interpret the world now but we're also
getting a new dune strategy game sanui saga hellblade 2 looks sick the halo tv
series looks like halo and sonic the hedgehog 2 is a movie
about a video game so i guess we got that in there too if it's about video
games we got a baby we got it jeff's gotcha you might be seeing more options
from hardware manufacturer nzxt over the next few years as the company has
recently gotten a 100 million dollar investment from san francisco nope from
francisco partners they may be in san francisco
is it francesco no okay it's not the firm behind rice-a-roni
instead their leadership includes founders of twitch hypebeast and
crunchyroll the goal is for nzxt to expand their hardware offerings further
than they already have once known mostly for cases cooling and power supplies
they've already started selling motherboards and full gaming pcs it's
unclear exactly what new products we'll see but more competition in the diy pc
space is always a good thing that's why we need more products
that we can't buy we can buy these ones they're good people don't worry you can
buy these they're going to be purple speaking of components have you been in the market for a new motherboard son
you might be in for some sticker shock as there have been recent price hikes specifically for
the new Intel z690 based motherboards that support alder lake cpus
the issue isn't just the global chip shortage it's the fact that these
motherboards support both ddr5 memory and pci express 5.0 the additional speed
of these interfaces require better and more expensive materials to maintain
signal integrity plus the new lga 1700 socket is reportedly four times as
expensive than its predecessor combined with the fact z690 boards also require
more power phases there's a lot pushing up the cost of a board and considering
how expensive graphics cards already are the price hikes are very ill-timed life
is just not very great right now what do you think i made of work from home money
what do you think i saved all my money from traveling and want to buy a p a
motherboard without i i do

smart tvs are often prone to slow downs but tcl's lineup of google tvs have
gotten so bad performance wise that they've stopped selling them the good news is
that tcl is promising significant improvements by a software update i've
heard that before tv brands and the affected tvs should be back on shelves
within a few weeks thank you goodness i can watch them in the best buy they'll
actually update them because it behooves them too it makes them money they have
hooves pubg is following the lead of other battle royale games and converting over
to a free-to-play model baby
this is mostly going to benefit more casual gamers as if you want to play
ranked mode and really test your metal you've still got to shell out 13 whole
dollars you asked that's like 20. canadian still
it's better than the 30 retail price and the devs might still make money since
free to play could get more users into the uk system
did i just say yuka system i like those better does halo infinite have battle
royale not yet they will an interesting side note on the epic versus apple court
battle is the revelation that microsoft actually tried to put xbox games in the
iOS app store if you're confused about the difference between xbox game pass on
xbox versus pc microsoft is trying to clear that up for you as a service on
Windows will now just be known as pc
gamepad wait who makes it can i still play xbox games the two services feature
different game lineups so renaming one of them makes sense but maybe they
should also replace the xbox logo pc pc
box what are they going to do who's it's like the brand is pc
who makes it valve pck
all pc games and there's a new entrant in lg's object collection this time it's
one of their OLED evo tvs meaning it's
that plus a new motorized canvas cover
that you can move up and down to cover your tv when you're not watching it with
the idea being to invoke an art piece but you'll have to pay for that
privilege of no longer being able to uh you know being embarrassed by your
powered off tv i guess since it'll run you over eight thousand dollars no don't
look over there the tv's off i swear it can play stuff i don't have a tv in here
what do you mean that's just art and we're pulling the cover down on this episode so come back
next week when there's gonna be more news and more people yelling at you are
you sure if you die and then i come down but i fall down the
stairs on my way to hosting it then i die
