the futureshop ones are never to busy. They usually have MORE then enough stock and let everyone in right away. You can get there just before they open no problem and get your copy with ease.

well I"m going there because of the free NECA headshot figurine with Cog tags.. lol.. or else I wouldn't be going there anyway. Besides, it's only 5min walk from my house.

Hmm just tried this online and....

I've never been so underwhelmed in my life.

Lag is measured in seconds rather than ms. Therefore people warp like we're playing on our old 56k modems back in 1997. Hits don't register properly and people are glitching about the map and sound effects are out of sync too! :s

Needless to say I'm unimpressed. :/

Your probably playing people not even close to your location like across the seas...

Are you sure its not just you? I watched a couple of leaked multiplayer gameplay and seem very smooth to me.

Agreed.

Try waiting until the game actually comes out before passing your judgement on the multiplayer...

Oh and Spookie, if you want to stay away from glitchers why not submit a player review against them and file a complaint? Submitting a player review will give you a less chance of joining their room.

It doesn't for me, I did that for PGR3. Ended up giving up in the end as I kept getting lumped with them.

System link? My connection is fine. sub 80 pings in WoW, 15 pings to local servers in TF2.

If you want a game on time, or before the release date stick with gameplay/game (same company now) or shopto. Game tend to be ruthlessly efficient when it comes to dispatch and Shopto work hard to get the games out as they are only a small company and need the biz.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
