EndWar beta test en November

Parece ser que tendremos la suerte de poder probar este pedazo de RTS que tiene una pinta im-presionante, en dos palabras.

News - EndWar beta test in November /// Eurogamer: "Tom Clancy's EndWar will be publicly beta-tested later this year, judging by comments made by creative director Michael de Plater in an interview with Eurogamer"

OpenGL expondrá algunas caracteristicas de DX10 en WinXP?

Features de DX10 expuestas a los usuarios de WindowsXP gracias a OpenGL?, me gustaría entender esto mucho mejor, para saber a qué se puede referir cuando dice " expose DirectX 10 features on Windows XP".

NVIDIA Developer Blog: "MA – The future of OpenGL looks interesting; it appears to have gained a certain drive which it lacked in recent years. The slimmed down interface of the future looks like it will simplify development for both the driver writers as well as ourselves. The extension mechanism has also allowed manufactures of high end cards to gracefully expose DirectX 10 features on Windows XP."

NVidia llegará al teraflop en su G92.

NVidia llegara al TeraFlop en la siguiente familia de tarjetas gráficas con procesador G92... solamente 3 veces más que la actual 8800GTX.
A la pregunta de si esto tiene fin o no, la respuesta yo creo que la veremos en unos tres años cuando empiecen a salir las primeras arquitecturas fusionadas, es decir CPU+GPU, el "Horse Power" de estos procesadores será tan brutal que creo que será el momento en que se desacelerarán los avances, mas nos vale!.

TechAmok - Independent Technology News: "NVIDIA says its G92 high-end graphics card will deliver almost a teraflop of computing performance. In an analyst webcast, Nvidian Michael Hara says that the chip will be ready for Christmas, a release cycle the company adopted with G80, where high-end products come out for Chrimbo and the mid-range and low-end products hit in the spring. The actual power of G92 might surprise some. The 8800 can rustle up about 330Gflops, which means the green team is suggesting that the 9800 could be three times more powerful!"

Blizzard hace realidad el sueño de un chaval de 10 años.

Chatterton es un chaval de 10 años que ha hecho realidad su sueño, su avatar en WoW es único, al que Blizzard le ha regalado un arco realmente impresionante, hecho específicamente para él y siguiendo las instrucciones de Chatterton.




Ole por Blizzard, me gusta.

Evil Avatar - Blizzard Grants a Wish:

"We definitely want a crossbow," Chatterton instructed Kaplan. He offered a detailed description of what he wanted: dangerous flames, curved frame and an ability to wreak havoc.
"I want it to shoot a fiery arrow at 300 damage over 10 seconds," he said.
With a few clicks of his mouse, Kaplan constructed a prototype.
"Wow. Weird. Progress is going quicker than I expected," Chatterton said.
"This crossbow will be the only one in the game and it's very difficult to get," Kaplan explained. "You're going to get a lot of questions (from other players)."
