			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/20/nvidia-geforce-gt-610-gt-620-and-gt-630/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/gt-610.png" border="0" alt="" /></a></div> Look out, savvy graphics card buyer: just because it's labelled 'GeForce' and starts with a '6' doesn't necessarily mean it benefits from NVIDIA's premium 28nm <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/22/kepler-comes-of-age-nvidia-unveils-geforce-600-series-gpus/" target="_blank">Kepler</a> architecture. We've already seen <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/07/nvidia-rebadges-geforce-500m-chips-in-preparation-for-ivy-bridge/" target="_blank">rebadged mobile chips</a> with last-gen 40nm silicon, and now entry-level desktop cards are arriving on shelves that will stretch Fermi's expiry date even further. There are no price tags as yet, but according to <i>AnandTech</i> the 'new' GeForce GT 610 is a repackaged GT 520 with 48 CUDA cores and an ever-so-polite 29-watt power draw. The GT 620 is a GT 530 with a 49-watt TDP and twice as many CUDA cores as the 610 -- although a meager 64-bit memory bus will put a cap on any performance gains. Finally, the GT 630 is a 65-watt GT 440 in all but name, with a 128-bit memory bus width allowing its 96 CUDA cores to be fully exploited. This latter card shouldn't be confused with the OEM version of the GT 630, which <i>does</i> actually pack Kepler. Bewildering, right? We've quizzed NVIDIA over its strange rebadging tradition and were told that the company simply numbers its products according to raw performance, rather than freshness or chip type -- which sort of makes sense so long as you don't dwell on it.<br />

Ratchet your hopes just a smidge higher, because the company says it's making progress. &quot;Some models have gone through inspection and been released to our carriers customers,&quot; the firm stated in an investor statement today. HTC explained that each of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/19/t-mobile-delaying-htc-amaze-4g/" target="_blank">contested models</a> needs to be reviewed by officials before release, and assures customers that it is working with customs to speed along the process. Which devices are making it through? &quot;We don't have the status of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/htc-one-x-for-att-review/" target="_blank">each</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/htc-evo-4g-lte-for-sprint-review/" target="_blank">specific</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/15/htc-amaze-4g-review/" target="_blank">device</a> at this time,&quot; HTC says, &quot;We remain confident that this issue will be resolved soon.&quot; Sure, that's not much to go off of, but we'll take what we can get.<br />

The tenacious firm may have missed its planned May 15th <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/14/voyager-mobile-starts-may-15/" target="_blank">launch</a>, but managed to pull things together in time for the weekend, piggybacking unlimited talk, text and data off of Sprint's CDMA and WiMAX network for $40 a month. A basic unlimited voice plan is also available to the tune of $20, without data allowances, of course. Phones are available too, albeit without subsidies -- Samsung's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/samsung-epic-4g-touch-review/" target="_blank">Epic 4G Touch</a> or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/" target="_blank">Galaxy S II</a> will each set you back $550, though an assortment of more affordable devices can be had from $120 and up. Tempted to jump ship? Check out the source link below and let all your MVNO dreams come true.<br />

As expected, the phone is officially on sale today at AT&amp;T retailers across the US, giving folks another option aside from the flagship <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/03/nokia-lumia-900-review/" target="_blank">Lumia 900</a> for a fix of LTE and Mango on the network. To refresh your memory, you'll find a 4-inch <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/superamoled" target="_blank">Super AMOLED</a> display and VGA camera up front, and a 5MP shooter on back that's capable of 720p video. Internally, there's a 1.4GHz single-core CPU (exceedingly par for the course for Windows Phone at this point) and a 1,750mAh battery to hopefully ensure you'll have enough juice to get through the day. Despite the speedy connectivity, we'd be remiss not to mention that the Focus 2 packs a paltry 8GB of non-expandable storage and only comes in Glossy Pure White -- but for fifty bucks under a new two-year agreement, we won't kvetch <i>too</i> much. Our full review is coming soon, but hit the source link for more details in the meantime.<br />

Now, the devs at <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/avatar-creations" target="_blank">Avatar Creations</a> have even more exciting news: an expansion!<br />
<br />
It's called <i><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/gamma-frontier" target="_blank">Gamma Frontier</a></i>, and Avatar calls it the biggest expansion since the game went live over 18 months ago. Player corporations will be able to build home bases, launch industrial projects, and colonize the new Gamma islands (not to mention defend them from invasion-minded players).<br />
<br />
The expansion also features extensive new terrain-shaping abilities. Avatar has given players full control over the land, including the ability to form hills, dig holes, and level the surrounding terrain as they see fit. Due to complications with pre-existing systems and landmasses, the terraforming capabilities are available only on the new Gamma islands (24 in total). Click past the cut to see a brief video of terraforming in action, then head to the <i>Perpetuum</i> website to read all the expansion details.<br />

After several days trying to force himself back into what remains of humanity in the blasted terrain of the apocalypse, he admitted to himself that he could never return because he was too quick to anger, and he wandered off back into the desert. Irradiated scorpions haunt the land he wandered into, so he finds rest on the blade of a ruined helicopter's rotor, just out of reach of stingers. This shot defines the dual beauty and harshness of the life he resigns himself to.</div>Ilix's gorgeous sunset is tucked behind the break along with two other One Shots shots!<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/20/one-shots-lone-wolf/" target="_blank">Continue reading <i>One Shots: Lone wolf</i></a><br />

That's how much creators Chris Jones and Aaron Conners have <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/251414413/tex-murphy-project-fedora" target="_blank">put together already</a> to make the long-awaited &quot;Project Fedora,&quot; the next in the cult classic series of full motion video sci-fi noir titles.<br />
<br />
You can get a copy of the (eventual) game just by backing at the price of $15, and there are lots of other rewards for higher payments, including a collector's edition, new commentary for the old Tex Murphy games, and even the chance to beta test and be in the game itself. The creators say that the game will have full-motion video, but it will also include a 3D game world, with branching paths of story to follow. As Tex says in the wild Kickstarter video, &quot;it's hat-in-hand time,&quot; so <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/texmurphy/tex-murphy-project-fedora" target="_blank">go over</a> and give if you want to get in early.<a href="http://www.joystiq.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/20/tex-murphy-gets-a-kickstarter-page-for-project-fedora/" target="_blank">Tex Murphy gets a Kickstarter page for Project Fedora</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com" target="_blank">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 20 May 2012 15:00:00 EST.

No? Well, the key point is that it's much faster than NAND memory, and it's making its way into chips from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/13/elpida-and-sharp-team-up-for-reram-in-2013-10-000x-the-speed-of/" target="_blank">Elpida, Sharp and Panasonic</a>. Further proof that ReRAM is on the up and up? Researchers at University College London have used this technology to make a chip that operates at 100 times the speed of standard Flash memory. The device is composed completely of silicon oxide, which improves the chip's resistance, and it doesn't require a vacuum to work (which makes it cheaper to produce). But this new chip is more than just a faster alternative to Flash; its ability to move between different states of conductivity means it can be configured as a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/memristor/" target="_blank">memristor</a>, or a device that handles both data-processing and storage tasks. In the long term, researchers hope this technology can pave the way for silicon oxide CPUs -- and UCL is already using this design to help develop transparent memory chips for mobile devices. Need to know more? Feast your heart on the gritty details via the link below.<br />

Thanks in part to a factory overhaul, the only Atlantics rolling on their <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/electric,hybrid" target="_blank">hybrid-powered</a> wheels in mid-2013 will be prototypes. On the upside, we've learned more about the car itself, including a fairly brisk 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds courtesy of a 300HP-equivalent motor. Green drivers who thought that the promised lower price would put it into entry-level luxury will nonetheless get a reality check with that $50,000 to $60,000 target, even if it's still a big savings over the six-digit Karma. There's still a huge amount of leeway for things to change, but with our compatriots at <i>Autoblog</i> having confirmed that the documents were real and &quot;highly confidential,&quot; they may be a sign that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/09/tesla-model-s-efficiency-range/" target="_blank">Tesla Model S</a> will have free rein in the green luxury sedan world for a good year or more.<br />

More recently, in an interview with <i>Venture Beat</i>, Tsunoda was a little more verbose about what he thinks the next big thing in Kinect is -- and it isn't a Kinect 2. The good news is, he believes that no new hardware will be required, and the innovations will likely come from developers, as they better understand and utilize the capabilities. A combination of voice, tone and facial recognition along with motion detection will likely be the tools that push the experience into the next era -- such as allowing users to participate in a game's story like an actor. Hit the source if you want to read the full interview, but you can be sure we'll be at E3 again this year to beat him, and others, with the question stick once more.<br />

Samsung's mobile head <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/JKShin/" target="_blank">JK Shin</a> just left Seoul for the mediated discussions saying there were still &quot;several negotiation options&quot; on tap, including the possibility of cross-licensing patents. He warned that there was still a &quot;big gap&quot; between the two sides, and we'd tend to agree -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/16/apple-v-samsung-cupertinos-latest-complaint-alleges-17-device/" target="_blank">neither Apple</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/07/samsung-v-apple-korea/" target="_blank">nor Samsung</a> is exactly backing off just yet. However, it's a definite shift in language from March, when Shin was vowing &quot;no compromise,&quot; and it parallels Apple CEO Tim Cook's own <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/24/tim-cook-hates-litigation-not-quite-ready-to-call-a-patent-truc/" target="_blank">disdain for lawsuits</a>. We just wouldn't bet money on the two singing &quot;Kumbaya&quot; this week.<br />
 In same breath, Shin added that an ongoing 4G chipset shortage wasn't letting up: he didn't see things getting better until the start of the fourth quarter, or October for us common folk. That's a problem for Samsung's phones and tablets most of all, of course, and in a dire case could see LTE-packing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-hspa-arriving-in-may-4g-version-hitting-n/" target="_blank">American Galaxy S III variants</a> rely on other vendors' chips to stay on the 4G bandwagon. There's also a chance of a ripple effect on other companies that want Samsung's parts, but short of getting a peek at Samsung's inner workings, we won't know the full impact for awhile yet.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">	<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/20/the-daily-grind-how-important-is-surprise-to-you/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2012/05/ffxiv-surprise-epl-514.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>For some players, MMOs are all about discovery. The game is at its most fun when you're just exploring the world, figuring out what you need to do as best you can. But to other players, wandering around without a clue isn't as fun as knowing what to do and enjoying that actual accomplishment.<br />
<br />
Of course, surprises come in both big and small varieties. No matter how well you might know <i><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic/" target="_blank">Star Wars: The Old Republic</a></i>'s quests, for example, you might avoid looking up all of the datacrons and thus get a pleasant surprise when you find one. Or maybe you don't like knowing about the bosses you'll fight in a dungeon until you get into the fight.<br />
<br />
We all like discovering things, but what we like to discover varies. So what about you? How important is having surprises in a game for you? Do you like to walk in with as little foreknowledge as possible, or do you like to have a pretty good map in your head before you start playing?<br />
