The More Powerful The Computer, The Better Looking The Game
I brought my Tabula Rasa disc out to UTD today so that I could go ahead and install it on this computer and let it patch while I went home for the afternoon. When I got back out here tonight I played it a little, and there is a definite noticeable improvement from the computer at my house. I can run at High settings instead of Low, and my FPS is approximately 20 higher on this computer (40 vs 20). The beta still has about two weeks left, and my main goal by next Friday is to get a character to 15 in order to get a bonus of 10 free days once the game launches. I really don’t want to have two active CC-based MMO subscriptions ongoing at the same time, so if I do fall for Tabula Rasa, my payment method will most likely be game cards rather than swapping subscriptions with WoW like I did with FFXI.
I’m re-re-redesigning a website for someone that I need to decide on an underlying platform for. He wants the site to have a blog which lends itself to WordPress (what I use for this), but he also wants a shopping cart and other features which a more complete CMS is geared towards. I definitely want to do my research so that whatever solution I use requires as little hacking as possible (therefore keeping it upgradeable with security patches and the like), so in the coming days don’t be surprised to hear more about this project.
