Alex’s far more comprehensive settings breakdown is coming, but warming you up for the big event, Rich tests out basic scalability and settings management in the new Red Dead Redemption 2 port and answers the question – what does it take to run at 1080p60 with graphics on par or better than the consoles?
It may look like industrial equipment, but the Monorail PC was sold as a low-cost Windows 95 PC for first time computer buyers in the mid 90s! Probably the first desktop with an integrated color LCD monitor, too.
Frostpunk Console Edition is the happiest I’ve been staring despair in the face. A fantastic city-builder where you really care about the people you’re trying to save.
8bitdo just released a really unique twin d-pad controller that works with both the Switch and PC. It’s not for everyone or every game but it is better than I expected. See more 8bitdo: http://lon.tv/8bitdo and subscribe! http://lon.tv/s
No joke, this place is truly mind-blowing! Taking a tour of Computer Reset in Dallas, Texas. It’s a closed down vintage computer shop that’s been largely abandoned and has stayed relatively untouched for years. Enjoy the mountains of computer hardware and software.
Today if you even have an optical drive, it is likely a tray-loader or a slide-in mechanism. In the early days of computer CD-ROM drives users were often required to place their precious CDs into an awkward little container called a CD Caddy. Why did we use CD Caddies and why did they vanish?

The Novint Falcon controller was created by an American company to be one of the first 3D Touch devices with haptic feedback for games. The idea is that you would physically FEEL objects and events in games. Originally sold as a bundle for $189 back in 2007, it drummed up a lot of excitement, especially coming off the success of Nintendo Wii and it’s motion controls a year earlier. In this video we discover parts of it are pretty cool…and others… maybe could have used more work. MORE INFO: https://www.giantbomb.com/novint-falcon-support/3015-5149/
