Sad attempt at a revival. :p Little surprised actually that the thread hasn't kept going here since the podcast relaunched. But anyway, #7 has just been released: https://www.neowin.net/news/neowincast-gaming-007---feb-17-kickstarter-edition

Is there still the possibility of guest hosts in future editions? I'd be more than up for it, and I've got alright recording equipment. ;)

It's good to read that people actually listen to the podcasts that we do, so thanks.

We're seriously thinking about doing the podcast live via Ustream, possibly with a trial run next podcast. After that happens we can definitely think about including guest speakers to speak about whatever, and depending on our technical set-up we also might be able to do live gameplay streams.

Also, if you are a fan of the podcast we would really appreciate you spreading the word about it, especially after it goes live because when that happens user interaction and all that cool stuff is possible :)

Yeah as Tim as pointed out, we will be switching over to doing a Live Podcast in the next episode or two. We literally pretty much record live right now anyway, so we want to see how things go when we switch over to live, which then gives us the opportunity to have interaction with the listeners, etc., so as far as we see things we are literally just getting started. This is something we plan on continuing, and it will carry over to Neogamr when it launches as well.

loved the new podcast. great review on the Vita, time and $$ are the only thing stopping me from picking it up. I wonder how much $$ I can get for my DS lite..lol. Def feel the same when it comes to MOH series. I can still play a quick game of the original MOH (+spear head) and have a ton of fun -game is obviously dated graphic wise but some great gameplay *true classic" as far as I am concerned. Ill check out every game they release but chances are slim I will end up purchasing.

Thanks for listening bro, much appreciated.

And no doubt with MOH. I actually have high hopes for this new one the more I think about it.

Gave the first portion of the latest podcast a listen on the way to work today. Nice to hear the glowing reviews on the Vita. I'll be getting Uncharted today, hopefully I don't have the same issues as you, Larry. Sounds like you really hated the touch stuff lol.

Thanks for listening. (Y)

And as I think I said about Uncharted, I just feel the touch stuff was added into the game simply to have touch stuff, and not because it enhanced the gaming experience. I hear later on in the game it is not as bad, but I thought it was that corny/cheesy that as of now I gave up on playing it (I literally send it back to Gamefly when I thought there would be a good chance I may decide to purchase it from them). I just feel there are better games to play on the Vita for my personal taste. Seems others love the game though, so hope you do dig it. I hate to see people waste their money on games, definitely. (Y)

Yeah I'm sure I'll be able to get over the touch controls as I'm a big Uncharted fan and know that the latter half of the game is better. I've been playing mainly pick up and play type games (Stardust, HSG, Lumines) so I've been itching for a 'bigger' game to dig into. I'm also getting Rayman at some point this week and i know you've been enjoying that, so I'm looking forward to playing it.

Have to start listening again. I used to listen to hours of gaming podcasts a week until I hit time constraints, and then catching up seemed a chore. The length of this podcast is ideal for me these days, not as long as the GB/1UP marathons I used to chill out to (1.5-3 hours :p).

Good podcast once again. :) Although I did skip a few minutes to avoid any Mass Effect 3 spoilers. :p

Also, boo for the beta being NA only! ;)

Thanks for listening. It really is appreciated. And I do think Tim did a fairly good job of not completely spoiling ME3, but yeah, you were probably better off avoiding those few minutes just in case.

And hopefully one day soon we can get something that is for the non NA listeners. Definitely.

^ I'd happily settle for a guest spot on a future podcast, although I'd have some difficulty being able to chat at midnight (noise-wise; I'm always up beyond that time :p ) if 7PM ET is your usual time. :laugh:

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

You can upload your image directly to Imgur with a single click and share the URL with others.
