AmuseVent : opinion with byte. Confessions of an Intermittent Gamer. On January 12, 2013 · 1 Comment. I’ve never had a problem with being called a gamer. Some do, but not me. I can walk the walk and talk the the talk of a fairly knowledgeable gamer but the problem is I don’t spend as much time as I’d like on actually playing. If I’m brutally honest I spend far too much time, proportionally, reading and discussing the subject. I’m already getting better, I think. A placeholder logo….thankfully. One Respon...

AmuseVent : opinion with byte. On June 11, 2012 · Leave a Comment. The first generation has to sell or at least generate a favourable response in order for there ever to be later generations of a product, that should go without saying. Tech lovers are always going to buy in early but when should the average person buy in? How should you gauge an early generation product then? I don’t think there is a definitive answer, there’s a lot a following your gut. If you feel a device is being wide...Basically put...

AmuseVent : opinion with byte. PS4: A peek, not a blatant tell-all. On March 9, 2013 · Leave a Comment. So Sony surprised many and officially announced the PS4 before Microsoft did likewise with their next machine. I wasn’t that surprised myself, Sony needed to take the initiative. Most of the expectation was based on there being successive leaks from Microsoft over a prolonged period and Sony staying quiet for much longer. It’s not like gaming machines in general have never been particularly prett...

AmuseVent : opinion with byte. Or blindly losing it? On July 24, 2012 · Leave a Comment. Electronics companies often make their products in multiple colours. A choice of finishes can certainly can certainly help them fit with your decor or, in the case of the portable items, your dress sense. But are they truely worthwhile to make? Once you get past the marketing blurb of “look at the wonderful range of colours/designs we offer” though think about your shopping experiences for a moment. H...The option of...

AmuseVent : opinion with byte. Next Gen Battle: Too many OSes…. On June 29, 2013 · Leave a Comment. A few things have struck me as the specifications of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have been revealed. Without being too much of tech-head I’ve been getting the impression that the core technology of the 2 machines is pretty damn similar. They both have similar AMD chipsets with the same amount of memory. With this new generation much has been made by Sony of the PS4 going for a developer-friendly PC-esqu...

AmuseVent : opinion with byte. Licenses to Kill: A New Media Hurdle. On January 2, 2014 · Leave a Comment. It’s just turned 2014 and I’m confronted with a tweet. Containing the news that the license for Deadpool. Has expired and the game had been removed from Steam. The account’s next retweet from their source revealed it had also been removed from Xbox Live Arcade and PSN. The startling thing, the game only got released in June 2013. No offence intended to Deadpool. Gaming is not the only media affected...

I have to hold my hands up, my time management (which is usually my forte in other areas of life) has not improved much with regard to gaming. Also it’s clear that my intention of making.

AmuseVent : opinion with byte. 8220;Advanced” audio does not benefit most viewers. On May 7, 2014 · Leave a Comment. Please note I’m no audio expert, the following is based on my own experience and my own reading over the years. Multiple channel audio, whether it be 5.1 or 7.1, has become the norm. At face value this seems to be a very good thing. For the average viewer though it only results in an inferior experience. The majority do not have the equipment to benefit from it. Additionally I think it mig...

AmuseVent : opinion with byte. Ethical Entry: or How to avoid winner’s guilt. On August 17, 2012 · Leave a Comment. Over the last few years I’ve become a regular enterer(? Of contests and seeker of freebies. Everyone loves something for nothing. 8221; and consider how it may make me look. I have therefore found myself analysing competitions before I enter and thinking it over before I take advantage of freebies. Have I won/received something from them before? Do I really, REALLY want the prize? I’v...
