Intel's Compute Stick puts Windows 8.1 on your TV for $149

engadget said:

Your Chromecast may be able to play Netflix, but can it play Crysis? Intel's HDMI Compute Stick probably can't either, but the tiny device does have enough power to run Windows 8.1 apps on your TV. Intel has rather impressively crammed in a quad-core Atom CPU, 32GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, along with a USB port, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 support and a mini-USB connector for power (HDMI power will come later). "But why?" you might ask. Intel sees it as a low-priced computer or (pricey) media stick, or even a thin-client device for companies. To up the crazy factor, it may eventually launch a much zippier Core M version. The Windows version will run $149, and if that seems a bit much, a 1GB RAM/8GB memory Linux version is priced at $89. Both will arrive in March.

Man buys over a hundred Rosalina & Luma Amiibos so fans can't.

http://www.destructoid.com/man-hate-...m-285999.phtml

In an interview with Nintendo Nuggets, a collector of vintage Nintendo items who goes by both "Daily Dose" and "Mariotehplumber" revealed that he's pre-ordered more than a hundred Rosalina & Luma amiibo -- all because he really, really dislikes the character. "I do not appreciate Rosalina appearing in almost every recent Mario game to date. The fact Nintendo promotes her so much and people praise her is just disgusting," he said.


Daily Dose continued "I hate her fans, too. I know for a fact her amiibo will be among one of the most popular, which is why I took the time to wait and pre-order over 100 of her. I do not want her fans to be happy... It just crushes me Nintendo from the good days went to this shit for character designs."


While it seems excessive, it's just a fraction of the amount of money Daily Dose claims to have committed to amiibo. He says that he has already spent more than $4,000, and that he has an additional $35,000 to invest on the figurines. Of those funds, he states that he intends to spend heavily on Lucina, Palutena, Robin, and Zero Suit Samus -- all out of a similar hatred and disdain that he has for Rosalina.


Some might find it unbelievable that one man could acquire this many rare amiibo, but Daily Dose says that he orders them using addresses of friends and family. There isn't any substantial evidence that he owns all of these apart from several pictures of piles of amiibo graced by a middle finger (something that, honestly, sounds likely from a man of this mindset). So, if you're looking for a Rosalina amiibo with no luck, just remember that someone who can't stand her is part of the reason why.

Just recruited a certain "Witch" in Dragon Age: Inquisition... Funny, I would have bet money

that she was voiced by the same actress as Bayonetta, but that turns out to NOT be the case!

Bayonetta

Yes, yes... He "HATES" her so much he had to buy all of her Amiibos so no one else could...

Message to Nintendo: Rosalina sells out in record time!

Nintendo: Wow! Rosalina turned out to be SUPER popular, we'll have to find a way to incorporate her into MORE games!!  GASP

Bayonetta

This is going to sound funny coming from me, but she definitely has the whole naughty librarian look about her... If she slapped on a pair of dark-rimmed glasses and spoke to me like Bayonetta, even ---I--- wouldn't mind her wrapping her hair around me, spanking me like a bad angel or stepping on me with some black, witchy-stilettos... Rawr!

All my gaming this weekend has been Dragon's Crown.  I hate to say it but it's pretty disappointing.  Shallow, boring, button mashing mess.  I hope to have at least enough patience to finish the campaign so I can put it on my list but I'm really disappointed it has to be said.

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

I kind of felt the same way. I wouldn't go so far as to say its bad or a mess but it was disappointing. At first I really thought this was going to change everything about the genre, but it pretty much felt like all the old 2-D brawlers in the end. By the end I wasn't able to play for more than about 30 minutes at a time, and I really had to push hard to finish it.

I played some Rayman and Hyrule Warriors this weekend.  I was planning to dig away at HW and get near completion but I couldn't keep my eyelids open.  Maybe tonight, but probably not with the wife out of commission and two kids to put to bed.

I've played a couple more hours of Phantasy Star (SMS) this weekend. These dungeons are brutal. How the fuck did people play these games without an automap? Graph paper? How primitive. Fun game, but mapping this shit out will be tedious.
