  1. In all fairness. I have 16GB of RAM in my workstation, and the only time I even get over the 8GB of usage is during development. Games rarely ever go over 2GB of usage. But the thing is, if you have the memory, it will get wasted (i.e. Steam is using 300MiB of RAM, more than firefox). So this will also start happening on the consoles. Memory is there to be used, but supporting services should at least to try to be as small as possible.

    The worst part of academica is the part where the most imporant thing about your job is getting articles accepted. The actual research comes third.

  8. I'm really looking forward to Sir, You Are Being Hunted. I also backed it, but not for the alpha tier. You should do a weekend Stream of it. I don't like the fact that you Stream in the middle of the night :/ http://breckon.livejournal.com/?
  9. Why So Serious Sam 3?

    I don't know how difficult "insane" is in SS3, and it also depends a bit on the number of players. It also depends a bit on the people's play style. I remember cooping with random people at some point, but they were only interested in running to the level exit.
  10. Why So Serious Sam 3?

    When I used to co-op SSFE and SSSE I usually used max difficulty and infinite lives. It was still a challenge to get to the next level.

    Yeah, I'm on lowland time. (currently known as CEST) Using http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ around 19:00 UTC will probably be the most suitable time for most (in the weekend). That's 13:00 in mountain time, and 21:00 in CEST time.

  21. Saturday Morning Streams

    is it just me, or is there always a rather annoying high pitched noise in the stream?
  22. Recently completed video games

    Finished Mini Motor Racing EVO. It's quite grindy, nothing really changes you just get access to new cars and some new levels. The levels are loaded with invisible walls, the physics are not great. It's a bit like a top down Track Mania game but much less polished. It features a neat level editor, so there's plenty to go one with. One thing that they did very well is that they often rotated the view on the track, so it becomes quite different to place every time. I used a single car to beat the game, so those options were a bit useless. Anyway, for the price it's not bad.
