Devil May Cry 4 PC Version Details

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Releases this summer, demo will be out before then. Official page opened up here, and the list of details include:

  1. Turbo Mode; 1.2x normal speed
  2. Legendary Dark Knight Mode; lots of monsters sent flying at you
  3. Very descriptive and detailed list of customizations to allow your PC to run the game smoothly. The variable framerate addition there is also very nice, showing Capcom may have what it takes to program a PC game this time.
  4. Benchmark mode; you’re sent through 4 (or more?) scenes and are ranked based on your framerate. For example, a Core 2 Quad managed beyond 60 for all the scenes and got ranked S in its stylish bar. :)

All in all, great stuff to look forward to!

Bell Traffic Shapes Everyone

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Not just their customers, but the reseller ISPs now, and I’m under one of those reseller ISPs.

Bell claims they’re only slowing down torrents, but it’s also affecting network latency in Mabinogi, too! You tell me if I’m happy with that!

I hope the CRTC takes the matter seriously and does something that’ll let everyone be happy. Or just make Bell suffer and we win (zero-sum game). Don’t care which, just let me play my games in peace!

I’m nowhere near Ottawa, but a rally is being held there April 29, so if you’re around, please show your support!
