looking for real world experience with Turtle Beach XP400 headsets

Just an addage. I have the XP400's and the PX4 and they are identical except the colors. They are good head phones but the plastic is a bit on the cheap-ish side. Quality is great when playing Grand Theft Auto 5 and Dark Souls on the PS3, Mass Effect on the 360 or Warframe on the PS4. I...

Java Learning Hierarchy

If you are trying to build a web application then you probably want to understand the fundamentals of how the servlet spec works from web.xml up. You could take a lot of stuff for granted if you just read a book on Spring Web MVC and decide you know enough to start writing Java web apps using...

Need help picking a Java EE development stack/application server and operating system

I use CentOS + Tomcat + Infinispan + Spring 3.2 + PostGresql in my out of office endeavors. I don't need a full J2EE stack because that is not really a big deal now a days since J2EE isn't really what people care about. Not to stir up a holy war with purists (I think J2EE has its place) but...

Image Server for WebApp... questions about how to serve images

If they are on the same physical machine serving over a share folder adds protocol overhead that just isn't needed. For instance if a VM vendor, or a personal cloud stack, might run virtual images off of iSCSI then there is no reason you 'd want to NFS between your vm's which are already running...

Holy Moly, is Eclipse the worst IDE ever?

I use Eclipse Every single day. More specifically I use Sprint Tool Suite latest built on Juno (3.8 at work and 4.2 for home stuffs). I've used VB on a project last year (was php) and other tools that use the WPF (ssms) and while they are fast I think I dislike their look and feel with a...

C# vs C++/CLI : Is there any reason not to use C# for Windows applications?

All I am saying... is that there are plenty of 'insert your own language here' compilers to javascript. So you can write in one language for code maintenance, and then run it in a javascript engine. That is all. I don't care about, nor am I ignorant of, ASM.js.

the Next Step: Making the leap from Code Monkey to Software Engineering

I would say you are being asked to be a software architect not an engineer. On top of what has been suggested I would add that you write modular code. Never make a method that doesn't need to exist but never write a method that does more than it should. Make sure you code to interfaces as much...

C# vs C++/CLI : Is there any reason not to use C# for Windows applications?

I am not talking about Asm.js I am talking about using a language and running it through a compiler to output js like gwt already does.

C# vs C++/CLI : Is there any reason not to use C# for Windows applications?

@tfinch2 I think you are being too much of a knee-jerk reactionist here. What Exdeath said was pretty valid. @brandonb Thinking VB.Net is relevant is pretty awkward of a thing to say. We still maintain VB6 apps in our Java centric work but it is like getting an STD when you are asked to go...

Thinking of getting PSP 3000/Go for retro gaming

I have the God of War PSP 3000 and couldn't be happier with it. I have about 15 PSP games that are all basically retro titles except for Third Birthday. Final Fantasy 1 and 2 Final Fantasy 4 Complete Collection Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions Persona 1 Persona 2 Y's Chronicles Y's 7...

any reason to own both 360 and ps3 any more?

Power-A Controllers for the PS3 negate this, and they are dirt cheap at Walmart and Toys'R'Us here in the states. Racing games on the 360? You mean Forza 3 and 3.5errrr4.0 right? Because those are good games but they aren't close to the realism you get in Gran Tourismo 5. Oh... and how about...

any reason to own both 360 and ps3 any more?

Yes I would say there is still a compelling reason to own both. The 360 has some exclusives that are just simply too good give up on. Infinite Undiscovery, Halo franchise, Gears of War, Magna Carta 2, Fable 2, better versions of older multiplatforms and rockstar games, Bastion, Shadow Complex...

TERA

I am enjoying it so far. The combat is noteworthy and feels like a balance between God of War and the Playstation 3 exclusive Demons Souls (and therefor Dark Souls as well). The art direction is definately for otaku. The game world is almost forgettable because the questing doesn't really mesh...

Wanna play Dark Souls on PC?

Yes, it is a 360/PS3 game that is a very good game that has mixes eastern and western rpg tropes and cranks the difficulty to 11. The biggest drawback to it is that the frame rates can drop significantly in some levels. While it doesn't stop the game from being great, being released on the PC...
