Streaming a gigabyte of map data and texture from a Web server just to play a game is obviously a non-starter; you wouldn't be waiting 30 seconds for a level to load, you'd be waiting 30 minutes. As an example, BioShock Infinite, an Unreal 3-powered high-end title, takes about 17 GB on disk, the vast majority of which is game data. That's not something that you want to have to wait for mid-game. … [Read more...] about Mozilla making the Web a gaming platform with Unreal 3 engine in a browser

In 2020, the URL seems to have gotten active again, first with a website that appears to have promoted antifa causes, then with a redirect to Biden's campaign website. It's also pointed to buildbackbetter.org, a Biden transition website, and to Vice President Kamala Harris' kamalaharris.org site. It's also pointed to itsgoingdown.org, a website "for anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements." … [Read more...] about Antifa.com redirects to White House website as trolls needle Biden

The exploits against the Asus router coincide with the discovery of a round of attacks that infect Linksys routers with self-replicating malware. The Linksys exploits don't expose any user data, and infected machines can be restored to their normal state by being rebooted. The in-the-wild exploits against both Asus and Linksys devices come two weeks after researchers in Poland reported an ongoing attack that stole online banking credentials in part by modifying home routers' DNS settings. Taken together, the attacks are a sign that routers and other Internet-connected devices are being subject to the same in-the-wild attacks that have plagued PCs—and in some cases Macs—for years. Readers are advised to lock down their routers by installing any available firmware updates, changing any default passwords, and ensuring that remote administration, Cloud, and FTP options are set to off if they're not needed. … [Read more...] about Dear Asus router user: You’ve been pwned, thanks to easily exploited flaw

Over its three sequels, the Uncharted series has flirted with design trends. A number of the puzzles in Uncharted 3 partner Drake with a team of allies, and hint at what could have been a co-operative mode. And Uncharted 4’s marketing sells the game as "wide-linear," which is to say there are many moments, particularly in the back half of the game, in which the game loosens the the leash and encourages the player to improvise, rather than reciting the script. But mostly, these moments — which are harrowing and unforgettable — are sleights of hand designed to trick the player into thinking they have control of a movie. An astonishing car chase through a village offers numerous paths, but they don’t branch so much as they funnel, all leading to the same endpoint. The experience is like reading a choose-your-own adventure in which each page has multiple choices, and they all lead to the next page, which offers more choices, and eventually you realize this book is … [Read more...] about Uncharted 4 is the best (and possibly last) game of its kind
