Re: Machine "feel" and "platform latency"

That means something like "inside the second" but for CPU! (or the whole platform if you like) Wouldn t it be nice if some metrics for responsiveness originated on TR just as frame latency metrics did? I think you are on to something Auxy and dodozoid. I remember years ago reading long th...

Re: Scott's new job

You know, if TR does a Nano review now, it's gonna look funny. :P Hopefully the guys keep up the podcast. I really enjoy it and the in depth coverage of topics. Maybe we'll see more of Jr Damage aka Gyromancer. I liked his video review of Battlefront. Also, keep bringing on David Kanter when new arc...

Re: Scott's new job

When I first posted, I didn't know any of the details. I was trying to help the girlfriend with the printer when Ryan skyped in on his podcast. I wasn't sure it was Scott they were talking about at first. I'm pretty excited to hear this announcement. If Scott can make a real impact on user experienc...

I can't guarantee for a few weeks, but I sure hope to make it this year (+1 other in tow). Couldn't make it last year, but loved it year before! Then heading to northern Michigan for quick vaca! Beautiful out that way!

Re: TR BBQ ~XI~ Official Thread (7/19/14)

I took vacation in August, figuring on a later bbq. I'll start working on getting that time off. I sure hope to make it again this year! Was great last year! Everyone was so friendly! I'll confirm as soon as I can.

Hot Dogs and Smores at midnight again this year?

Well, after several tries, I think we got it! Only camera I have is cell phone. Wish the picture was clearer. We call it "Fishing for Prizes". Thanks Newegg and techreport.com! http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p666/ggodsil/TechReport%20Contest/FishingforPrizes_zps4f073a57.jpg

Re: TR BBQ ~X~ Official Thread

I would actually recommend flying into GRR and renting there; the car will be cheaper and then you're making the long drive to Chicago at the START of your trip, rather than the end.[/quote] Due to other scheduling, works best to do Chicago first. Thank you for the suggestion of GRR. Might work to f...

Re: TR BBQ ~X~ Official Thread

Alright, 2nd choice after Quakecon, not too shabby! I'll have to put that in our advertising. :D BTW, I'm leaning pretty heavily toward the neck medals. I've placed an inquiry about engraving them - I'm guessing there will be something on the back... Oops, didn't mean it that way. 8) Maybe a slogan...

Re: TR BBQ ~X~ Official Thread

Hello all! I've been a long time reader of TR and listner of the pocast, but rarely am in the forums. I remember seeing the post last year about the bbq, and thought it would be cool to try to make it one year. I couldn't make Quakecon work out, but I just locked in the time off and think I can make...
