10 Mammouth CPU Coolers: Size Does Matter "CPU coolers are a necessary evil these days and we look at some of the bigger models on the market.

Update – Wednesday, June 8 "This week, as part of our in continuing promise to keep Guild Wars free of hacks, cheats, and other exploits, we closed the accounts of more than 100 users of bots.

New changes will improve our ability to identify and ban users of bots, rebalance mission areas that were highly exploited by bots, and reduce the overall effectiveness of bots, exploits, and other highly repetitive forms of gold and item farming. We are taking these steps to improve the game for all players, so that people using bots to farm gold cannot generate a huge influx of new gold into the econom…

Tim Sweeney interview posted at Beyond3d Intel17: For the next Unreal Engine game, do you guys use a lot of BSP geometry, or is almost everything a high poly mesh, because lighting and shadowing effect them uniformly and quality cannot be discerned? Tim Sweeney: By object count, the levels are about 25% BSP. By polygon count, they're around 1% BSP. Mainly, BSP is for high productivity in building the shells of levels, and for a small speedup indoors using cell/portal culling techniques.

E3 2005: EPIC'S ENGINE So you're not exactly predicting the death of the PC in the midst of this next-gen frenzy? Mark Rein: You know, it used to be id, and Epic, and a few others aimed at all those high-level games, but now because everybody's doing PS3 and Xbox 360, they're all gonna be doing high-level games. So when they do bring them to the PC, they're gonna be great. And we actually adjusted our pricing structure on Unreal Engine 3 basically to say "you're paying for all three whether you're using it or not, so you may as well do PC!" We're evangelising to all our customers, we want them to do PC, because we make royalties, so the more they do...[la…

Episode III Easter Egg Hunt "During the space battle, when a blue laser beam lances out of the belly bay of a massive Republic Star Destroyer and splits a Banking Clan frigate in two, it unleashes a blossoming explosion with streaming debris. The camera pans along with one sizable chunk as it slams back into the Republic vessel. That is indeed a kitchen sink."
