The EMotion Engine chip really broke a lot of ground.

PS2 was the best console, such a great library spanning so many genres.

My favorite of all those games was Legend of Dragoon, which I believe was a Sony PlayStation 1 exclusive. VERY lengthy game, came on 4 discs.

@scottalanmiller Same here. Don't mind a classic JRPG once in a while though.

About the only games I don't play are turn based strategy. Huge fan of racing simulators, but I've been rather disappointed by the ones for PC.

@Dashrender One of my favorite RTS games, really miss when the C&C games were good.

At the moment I'm only running an AMD A10 APU, with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 660 SC. Still working on building a rig in a RaidMax Augusta tower with a i7-4770K, 32 GB of RAM, dual Radeon R9 290X cards, and a dedicated soundcard and it's all liquid cooled.

Practical Reverse Engineering

LEARN THE SCIENCE AND CRAFT OF REVERSE ENGINEERING TO FIGHT HACKERS AND ROOTKITS

Criminals increasingly are using malicious software (exploits, viruses, rootkits, etc.) for fraud, denial-of-service, intrusions, and espionage operations. Reverse engineering is the only method to thoroughly dissect and understand such software. So it is no surprise that reverse engineering is one of the most important subjects in information security. Unfortunately, it is often perceived as a mysterious and complex black art. Although reverse engineering is a difficult subject, the authors believe there is a scientific approach to it. Practical Reverse Engineering aims to demystify the art and systematize the reverse-engineering process for students and professionals.

So I know this is a completely Non-Business subject, but what for those of you that do gaming, what Hardware and Software do you guys run, and what brands do you guys tend to stick to?

There is no Live anything. I'll try to get it to run with the GNOME UI, but I can't even get back to the windows bit.

That may be an issue, it doesn't say it in the file name. It just says openSUSE 13_1

Well, it now says Disk drive 3 is dead. Is that a problem?

I tried it twice and did watch everything, nothing going on.

Shall I try it again?

I'm trying to get OpenSuse to run live off of a USB Flash Drive, and it just wants to install. Is that what should be happening, or am I missing something?

Yeah, plenty of fun to be had in the Microsoft area...

So GNOME has more you can do with it?

Also another deal of the day.

@scottalanmiller I believe so. @psx_defector The bit about holding the insert button to reset the config actually just came in handy. I encountered an error with the OpenSuse installation the first time around.

This is their deal of the day today. Celebrating Pi day, they're doing 50% off on all science and math related Ebooks.
