AMD Mantle Battlefield 4 & Star Swarm Performance and Thoughts

Posted by

I’m sorry this took so long, but due to the BETA nature of AMD’s Mantle driver, and DICE’s Mantle patch we had some difficulty doing what we set out to do… Which was to determine if, for real actual gamers out there, Mantle was going to make a difference. Some of the issues were caused by our desire to use components that were common in gaming systems (according to Valve’s hardware survey) and some of the issues were caused by the BETA nature of Mantle. Either way, it’s here now. I hope you enjoy it.

10 Biggest Best Picture Oscar Snubs

Posted by

Fans get indignant when their favorite movies are passed over at awards season. These Best Picture Oscar burns were big enough to be felt through the ages. Subscribe: http://goo.gl/9AGRm

What do you think was the biggest snub of recent (or not-so-recent) memory? Do you think we missed anything? Do you agree or disagree with our picks? Let us know in the comments below!

THE LIST

Cool hand Luke (1967) Was admittedly up against a tough field, but it’s a movie that’s stood the test of time, and absolutely deserved a nomination.

The Dark Knight (2008) Didn’t score a nomination in the very last year there were only 5 Best Picture nominations, and the Academy apparently wasn’t risking giving a nod to a genre film.

Singin’ in the Rain (1952) Hands down one of the greatest movie musicals ever, this absolute timeless classic didn’t even get nominated, while the winner – “The Greatest Show on Earth” – is probably on no one’s “Best movie ever” list.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) Maybe its art house indie vibe turned off Academy voters, but ten years later, audiences everywhere still appreciate “Eternal Sunshine”

King Kong (1933) It was the early days of the Academy, but King Kong’s impact has endured to this day.

And then a trio of overlooked Hitchcock films:

North By Northwest (1956), Psycho (1957) Vertigo (1958) What have you got against Hitchcock, Academy?!

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968): One of the most groundbreaking works of direction, visual storytelling, and all-around spectacle wasn’t even nominated in the Best Picture category. (Though Stanley Kubrick was nominated for Best Director and Screenplay, and won Visual Effects)

Do The Right Thing (1989) One of Spike Lee’s first great films isn’t even nominated in the year Driving Miss Daisy won.
