Which Game do You Want to Play with Friends Most?


Except for MMO situation, of course, it is possible that someone starts a mmo alone, then make friends with the strangers in the game, it also called play with friends, but I think someone would choose solo all the time in mmo too. Some games indeed suit for playing alone because some reasons, lol.

Secret World's beta registration is now live, and even before the game got to this phase it started to get a bit more buzz recently. I can't blame them, when I first checked it out it seemed very interesting. The game pretty much seems to use the same 3 faction RvRvR setup which pits people against each other for world domination/power.

Scientists From CUNY Discover a New Method to Boost Available Bandwidth on Fibre Optic Cables

Posted: 04 Sep 2011 11:16 AM PDT

Fibre OpticFibre Optic cables have revolutionized the way we move data, spewing bits at the speed of light across the globe in a matter of milliseconds. The technology behind the cables is pretty impressive, but amazingly, scientists from the City University of New York believe they have found a way to further increase the bandwidth on existing cables by mapping spiraling light.

CUNY researchers claim that using this process, ISP's will be able to harness "untapped data channels" within fibre optic cables, and will help providers meet the ever increasing bandwidth demands being placed on them by services such as Netflix.  

The process seems a bit difficult to put into laymen terms, but the new model's inventor, Giovanni Milion takes his best shot. "People now can detect (light in) the ground channel, but this gives us a way to detect and measure a higher number of channels. ... Being able to follow polarization and other changes as light travels gives you insight into the material it travels through." 

If your still with us up to this point we highly suggest checking out the full explanation over at ispreview.co.uk. 

Zotac Announces The AD10, Palm Sized ZBOX Powered By AMD Brazos

Posted: 04 Sep 2011 10:34 AM PDT

AD10If you've been looking to build an HTPC, but either didn't care for a hot & loud full tower case, or simply couldn't stomach the paltry performance of Atom powered nettop boxes, we have great news for you. Zotac sent out a press release today announcing the release of the palm sized ZBOX nano AD10, with pretty impressive performance, at what appears to be a fairly reasonable price. 

Unique to the AD10 is an AMD E-350 APU, along with a Radeon HD 6310 graphics chip. Like the rest of the AD series, this ultra-portable also includes Wi-Fi N, Bluetooth 3.0, a Windows Media Center remote / IR receiver, and even a pair of USB 3.0 ports. 

The $276 asking price is also pretty reasonable when you consider it also includes 2GB of DDR3 and a 320GB hard drive as standard. Like most of the ZBOX's this is a bring your own OS sort of deal, but if you have a spare copy of Windows lying around, is a great budget HTPC. 

Call Of Duty Elite Subscription Plan Detailed By Activision

Posted: 04 Sep 2011 07:59 AM PDT

COD EliteRegardless of how you feel about Activision, or the Call of Duty franchise in general, it's hard to deny these guys have found a winning formula that countless other publishers are struggling to emulate. And while Battlefield 3 team will probably be doing backflips all the way to the bank if they come even remotely close to matching Modern Warefare's sales numbers, the companies new subscription based Elite service has created a moving target that EA would no doubt copy if they thought they could pull it off. During the Call of Duty XP keynote, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirsberg has finally detailed what subscribers would get, and what it would cost.

Pricing for the new service will be fixed at $49.99 USD per year, and the company claims Elite will include over 20 pieces of content released every 2-3 months. The first season of DLC will include several map packs, additional spec ops missions, and appears to be a reasonable deal if you're the type that would buy all of this stuff normally at full price.

Aside from the DLC, Elite subscribers will get eight times as much storage for relay videos, the ability to level up clans by competing in daily tournaments moderated by real humans, and qualify to win both real and virtual prices. 

Modern Warfare 3 vs. Battlefield 3 is about as charged a debate around here as Mac's vs. PC's, but let us know your thoughts on Elite below. Is it a cash grab or a great value?
