Lerk reveal and engine test starting

WebLuke — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:00:05 +0000

Hey guys!

We just released the first look at the new "Lerk" class in Natural Selection 2! Check out concepts, renders and a movie showing him in action (http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/news/2010/2/friday_update_lerk_reveal).

We also wanted to let you know we're starting engine testing with the people who have pre-ordered the Special Edition. This is not a demo or an alpha but is an engine test, meant to test graphics, networking, performance, compatibility, etc. It also includes the full scripting tools so coders can start experimenting.

Over 10,000 people pre-ordered Natural Selection 2. We don't want to be overwhelmed with bug reports so we're starting out small. Then we'll be growing it continuously as we hammer out issues and are ready to deploy it to a larger group. We'll be granting access to players in the order that they pre-ordered (http://www.naturalselection2.com/buy). We're also hard at work on the NS2 alpha - the results of this engine test will make sure it works great when we release the alpha to all the Special Edition pre-orderers.

You've been so kind as to support us and because of that we're still in business. We hope you understand our strategy. We're eager to get NS2 into everyone's hands as soon as possible!

So good news we got half of our taxes back so I ordered my podcasting kit so expect a podcast to be coming soon. I also am getting a Google Nexus One phone, should be here in the morning, overnight shipping on the weekend is a none event. I've been excited to get this phone, so I well be posting about it a lot, and I well not do a unbox or video of it I well post a few embedded links when I talk about it though.

And finale I well be starting Online classes in the middle of March for Network Administration so that should be fun, I well be on the computer more so more updates likely. :D

Intel Core presser: 32nm Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 CPUs (update: video!)

via Engadget by Vladislav Savov on 1/7/10

Intel has just concluded its first CES press event of 2010, dedicated to "announcing" the already well known Arrandale and Clarkdale CPUs. They will be part of Intel's planned 27 total SKUs coming in 2010, including four varieties of Core i3, eight Core i5s, and five Core i7 models. We were treated to a demo showing off a Core i5 laptop CPU running a 1080p video with another video stream overlaid on top of it with a measly 10% CPU usage.

via Engadget by Richard Lawler on 1/7/10

The new Philips / Funai combo P&F is promising a sweet look on the face of being green with its stylish Eco TV series. Check the press releases after the break, but the 4000, 5000 and ultimately 7000 series climb the ladder predictably in sizes and price. Key in 2010 is the introduction of Netflix streaming, internet radio and Blockbuster Video On Demand on some models and even HDMI 1.4 jacks on the top of the line 7000 models. Another bonus over the big boys? Actual prices and ship dates have been revealed. Check after the break for another shot of the 7000 and every detail you could ever ask for.

Intel shows off glasses-free 3D demo -- now this is more like it

via Engadget by Darren Murph on 1/9/10

If you've kept even a loose eye on our CES coverage this year, you'd know that 3D is firmly "in." But our main gripe is that the glasses requirement makes it largely impractical for in-home use.
