If your PC can play any of the new games from this year I don't think you'll have a problem with this on the PC as well. I doubt it'll be raising any bars.

Ha, I wish I could play the games from this year decently ;P I'm running a Intel Celeron ( single core, but based off the dual core models ) 1.8ghz oced to 2.5ghz, with only 2 gigs of ddr2 ram, and a nvida 8600gt card. I'm lucky I have been able to push it as far as I have. One of the reasons I got a ps3, because I did not feel the need to spend much more on a PC again at this point. I have been away from consoles really since the dreamcast, so I have plenty to catch up on :)

remember this?

I remember it. The game still looks like it would be epic to play right now lol.

More like they just sewed together the parts 3D Realms created and are making a cheap buck releasing it :p

From the cam gameplay so far I haven't seen anything new yet. Just the same desert area and NFL stadium.

While this does slightly bother me, its at the point where i don't care who gets the money I just want the game. I feel sorry for the poor buggers who worked for DNF at a lower then norm wage expecting to get a cut of the sales... Wonder how thats going to work now? :p

Probably because that was the first thing 3D Realms completed and thus is likely to be the most polished. Don't want people playing a section that isn't very polished, of course.

I'll believe it once I'm holding the disc.

Actually, scratch that. I'll believe it once it's installed. I mean, what if I pop in the disc and a screen pops up and goes "OH MAN, YOU BELIEVED US? LOL!"

That would be epic. Especially if done with Duke's voice -- before the various company animations.

Lol i think people would actually bomb the studio. I wonder how many threats 3D Realms has already had from hardcore fans? haha

So we can expect 2 awesome levels and the rest is filler :laugh:

Definitely worth the 13 years of waiting!

Really, I could care less about single player. Duke 3d revolutionized multiplayer games and how you could tweak and make almost anything do whatever you wanted it to. I sure hope we somehow, even on consoles, get a little portion of just that. I loved making the freeze ray actually enlarge someone to explode, or making cameras be able to shoot at people who passed by, or having the pistol shrink people. You could edit everything in the config on the pc to make it to almost anything. It was just crazy. Also, I hope a sdk is released to allow level creation as in the first. With everything Duke 3d had to offer, if it just does that with updated graphics, I will be pleased.

Now I miss those old school duke multiplayer days, but oh how I hated Ten.net :p

Just remembered a map where I laid like 50 pipe bombs in a custom "school" type map, and every room my friend would enter, the pipe bombs were set as proximity mines, and he would just die as I hide behind some rooms desk. He got so ****ed lol.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
