Epic says Unreal Engine 4 coming within the next few years!

Video gaming technology just keeps getting better and better... one day it'll be all holograms!I'm sick and tired of waiting for new graphics to come out. Back in the 80's and 90's, every month the graphics got better, the gaming got better. Now, we're supposed to wait a "few years" (only! OMG!) for the next Unreal Engine. Why haven't they just made it a few months after the last one? At the rate ATI and nvidia punch out GPUs, we need better engines on a monthly basis. Graphics engines are very important in today's world, since every computer has at least five or six different games (or software) that require them. So, why has this industry lacked so much? I'm not happy about this at all.

Review: RunescapeTop Guide

RunescapeTop has been around for many years, but I've never bought their guide. I've bought a few $2 ones from eBay and to be honest, they were crap. My Runescape career has been slowing down, and I wish I could be rolling in more gp to be able to afford to have more fun. So I bought the Runescape Top guides (for only $15, c'mon) ... and now I'm thinking, "What was I doing for the past 3 years?" - Yep, I wasted my time for the last 3 years. I wish I had bought this guide 3 years ago!

You can wait, but the price will remain the same. You pay $15 today, you'll pay $15 next year. If you buy now, you'll know the secrets a year early!

Runescape Top money making guides.

F*** VIACOM!

Philip DeFranco talks about Viacom and Fireworks. Viacom has gone too far and we've got to do something about it before it ruins having fun on the Internet.

*Your reason for burying* = Its not XKCD

I thought this one was quite funny actually... XKCD is a funny comic that requires the reader to have previous knowledge of often advanced concepts. It is best suited for University level tech-savvy people.

Lexicominos is a game of luck

Ever since I got Member on Funorb, I've been trying out all the games. I haven't been too happy that I had to pay money for such semi-standard "meh" games, but whatever, too late now.

I tried out Lexicominos. At first, I thought, "Wow this game is for the quick witted". But then I soon realized that the game is russian roullete. There is no way to use strategy or wit. You just have to play tetris and hope the words give you points.

You think I'm lying? I thought I was. But then I played Lexicominos in the German language. (I do not know a word of German). And I got a highscore better than half of my English highscores! Yeah, it is a game of pure LUCK.

If you get lucky you make points, if not, no matter how smart you are, you just lose.

Crazy Crystals is Impossible after level 40

I got to Level 40 doing Crazy Crystal and I find that it is freakin impossible. I can't do it. It is too hard and I just can't be bothered. I'd rather play Arcanists or some other game on Funorb.

It's getting ridiculous how difficult some of the puzzles are. Jagex should have really thought this one through before force-feeding it to us via our throats.
