Core - 680i - Overclocking - Free ones? - Shared Cache: Core versus K8L? - Cache architecture - History of cache implementation - software using it.. Wooooo. In hindsight, I think Brett is totally on the money nominating NVIDIA as the company of the year. If you've been following NV's stock price it's almost doubled in the last twelve months! 691 Million TRANSISTORS. Not transsexuals. I should think before I talk. Games that should be remade and not fucked with: Freelancer (Good call, Brett). Broken Rec-Rec-Rec-Rec-Rec-Record Time: Ripping it into Sony. Actually the rootkit was 2005, but the building defacing was this year, along with Racist advertising and lets not forget the most recent Viral Advertising. Anyone else think they should have stopped at PS2? Maybe we shouldn't bring up Betamax or the Bookman, maybe Blu-Ray will win? It might end up like their UMDs, although the MiniDisks were slightly more successful. I could go on, but I'm sure I'm boring you. NOT! That I ever imply that women can't read maps. That was not an insinuation I made, merely arguments do happen and as we were all guys, obviously the most likely person to have in the seat next to us is the significant other. Brett tells me you can get 45 hours battery life with 4AAs on his Logitech speakers. It is an awesome bit of kit. Lets hope ATI's RD600 doesn't suffer from the same problems as previous ATI chipsets. Lets hope Sapphire doesn't get a hold of it. Music: FOUR MINUTES of the awesome Whispers from Lagoona by Andreas Viklund! Hiren, posted the whole track! WOOT! Anyone has any other nominations; feel free to leave a comment! - Richard I hope you all enjoy our first (and possibly last) award show, we thought it was the right time to reflect on the years technology progress and look foreward to the future. - Hiren Episodes NBS-Review.net yes No http://www.nbs-review.net/49/ http://www.nbs-review.net/49/#comments Sun, 26 Nov 2006 16:15:10 +0000 Hiren General http://www.nbs-review.net/49/ http://www.nbs-review.net/49/feed/ http://www.nbs-review.net/48/ http://www.nbs-review.net/48/#comments Tue, 21 Nov 2006 22:54:54 +0000 Richard Episodes http://www.nbs-review.net/48/ http://www.nbs-review.net/48/feed/ 39:47 Download NBS Review EP18.66 - Behind The Podcast.

EP19 - Violence Is A Given, In High Definition.Episode Topics: Downloading Games: The future of distribution? PS3 Launches. Violence is a given, in High Definition. Banning Games for Content? Or are they liable to the artistic expression excuse that movie content survives in. Should people pre-disposed to violence not be allowed to play violent games or see violent movies? Episode Notes: Yes, my introductory "questions" are excessive, I know, but I'm trying to produce some seed of conversation transforming it into a utopia of flourishing discussion. Clearly, I fail miserably. Apparently Hiren had a bitch of a job editing it since the levels were all over the place. Despite doing seriously well, he's committed to learning Audio Hijack Pro and it's plugins so hopefully it'll turn out even better in the future. He obviously got lazy though and couldn't be arsed to put in some end music, so repeated the intro.. To confirm: The PS3 harddisk is a 2.5" harddisk, the same as the 360. - Richard Episodes NBS-Review.net yes No http://www.nbs-review.net/47/ http://www.nbs-review.net/47/#comments Fri, 10 Nov 2006 10:56:14 +0000 Hiren General http://www.nbs-review.net/47/ http://www.nbs-review.net/47/feed/ http://www.nbs-review.net/46/ http://www.nbs-review.net/46/#comments Mon, 06 Nov 2006 19:33:24 +0000 Hiren Site News http://www.nbs-review.net/46/ http://www.nbs-review.net/46/feed/ http://www.nbs-review.net/45/ http://www.nbs-review.net/45/#comments Tue, 31 Oct 2006 09:03:35 +0000 Richard Episodes http://www.nbs-review.net/45/ http://www.nbs-review.net/45/feed/ 53:01 Download NBS Review EP17: Sony Kills, EA Spys and we all see Red.Epsiode Topics: Sony Kills Lik Sang and Grey Imports of its products in the ...

Episode Notes: This is the rant edition where we seem to enjoy letting out some pent up aggression towards those who aggravate us. I have to admit that it felt better afterwards to get it all off my chest. Ahhhhhhhh. Yes, I know, we've done micropayments for episodic content before but this is different. So Shush. I just realised we participate in a fuck load of willy pulling in this episode as we freely admit to giving generously to AIDS charities in Africa without resorting to consumerism by proxy. The truth is we probably just drop our change into pots at McDonalds, so that will get fat kids a off their arses for 30 minutes or some shit, rather than reaching those in third world countries with terminal diseases. Yeah! We rock! Brett got in the phallic reference with deciding that buying a gold Wii means you'll be getting a Gold Member. He did it funnier than I can describe, or, at least I thought so with my juvenile sense of humour. We have no actual idea what hand EA has with regards to Crysis and Crytek, we hope it's just a publishing company and that Crytek have got a better deal with EA than Ubisoft, or they might have just been bought out like so many others. Our ideas have no actual factual basis, other than suggesting what might happen given the recent history and market trends towards such a business model. We sincerely hope they don't package Crysis with a tub of lube. Listen past the end for out-takes and screwups. I hope you can't wait for our NBS-Review awards for 2006 in December. It'll be so awesome!.. Well, ok, it'll be better than the Goldern Joysticks. In hindsight, that isn't a huge achievement. EDIT: This will be the last week we use that intro because it's crap and I hate it. We'll go back to generic game music from next week. - Richard Episodes NBS-Review.net yes No http://www.nbs-review.net/44/ http://www.nbs-review.net/44/#comments Wed, 04 Oct 2006 20:50:02 +0000 Richard Episodes http://www.nbs-review.net/44/ http://www.nbs-review.net/44/feed/ 41:32 Download NBS Review EP16: Now Pee Oow Dee FreeEpisode Topics: Apple tries to patent podcast, or pod, or something about Condoms?

I hope you enjoy it and have a laugh as well, any comments and suggestions are happily received. Unless they're negative, then you can get to fuck. I got this weeks phallic reference in early with the Durex = Tape versus Condom brand, even if it took 10 minutes to do it. And yes, my car was held together for a week or so with tape because some of the bolts had rusted through and broken off. Brett manages to insult a huge proportion of the East Asian community in about two sentences, like the ignorant American he is. Publically, I'm naturally "shocked and ashamed", but privately I'm proud of him for achieving the feat. Am I surprised? Hell no. We take the piss out of everyone equally so noone can complain about descrimination. We do TRY NOT to talk about console hardware every-single-episode but it seems we just can't help ourselves. We promise to NOT discuss anything console hardware related next episode. Perhaps. Brett has a hardcore rant on Symantec. I know he's been saving it for a while and I'm sure he feels happier now it's off his chest. I was famished by the end of this ep and a bacon butty really hits the spot on a Saturday afternoon. If you're Moslem or Jewish, try... uhh... I'm really sorry but I've sat here thinking for like, five minutes stressing over a substitute but nothing really goes that well with Brown Sauce. It's one of those things, every other meat I think of just doesn't fit right. Send me an email or post a comment about alternative foods you recommend that hits juuuuust that hunger spot in the belly. The Levelator is a fantastic piece of software for short bursts of audio. It really helped on the intro having cuts from a dozen different episodes all at different volumes. It's use on the whole episode just isn't viable since it makes everything louder and the static becomes unbearable. The outro is a video game remix from here, apparently influenced from the classic Street Fighter 2. You can grab it there on mp3 for your portable music player of choice. - Richard Episodes NBS-Review.net yes No http://www.nbs-review.net/43/ http://www.nbs-review.net/43/#comments Mon, 25 Sep 2006 14:12:49 +0000 Richard Episodes http://www.nbs-review.net/43/ http://www.nbs-review.net/43/feed/ 42:34 Download NBS-Review EP15: The Fashion of Bags, Sound, Internets and Gaming.Episode Topics: PS3 launch delay Wii release + Wii jokes PA versus Joystick Zune Apple iTunes 7, new Nano (Mino?) ...

Manbags! Semi-nude Flickr community! Episode Notes: H editing this week and doing it a new way: intro-music-straight into conversation. We're trying it out to see how it is received by our lovely listeners. Audio: Powergramo, again failed to record. It saved, then crashed, then deleted the 800meg temp file as I reopened it. "What a delightfully designed program", I was heard to remark as this happened. H's backup recording in Hotrecorder was our saving grace, but it's 24KHz medium-fidelity, not uberific 48KHz. We're a little late with the release we recorded the Saturday before last but we've all been real busy with the usual thing called life we have no choice but to partake in. If someone has a remote with a pause button relating to the general flow of time and the earth moving, please, send me an email indicating where I can get a hold of one. The Wii WONT be region free, unlike stated, and boy am I an unhappy bunny. :( My pre-order on play.com is now £300 for 2 games, Wii and extra controller + nunchuck. In comparison my Xbox 360 premium with 5 games, vga lead and extra wireless controller was £260 second hand! Bah the expensive Wii, but I need Zelda in order to correctly function as a human. Article on Wired about Sony: Zune, now due to cost $229. Big-up to our guest, Wil from Bit-tech for his time on a Saturday afternoon. Cheers bud :) Will recommends Prison Break for $2 in 640x480. Gogogogo. Surfing CDs by cover art? and RSS season passes for series content? Interesting MySpace read at ValleyWag.com £430 expanding foam brain massaging headphones; "We can bung a link in later.." No we can't we still haven't found it. Sorry. As soon as Wil mentioned nude chicks and tech I dropped everything and abandoned my audio responsibilities to look at female body parts. Apart from owning an ultra stylish manbag with my life in it, my need for pics of chicks bits is still high. - Richard Apologies for the delay, real life got in the way. Also Powergamo is worse program ever created. It's still a good listen even if it's a tad dated, music is from Auto Assualt Soundtrack which is now free. Both me and Richard do own man-bags, and yes I really do use it to protect my lunch. -Hiren Episodes NBS-Review.net yes No http://www.nbs-review.net/40/ http://www.nbs-review.net/40/#comments Fri, 08 Sep 2006 10:36:47 +0000 Richard Site News http://www.nbs-review.net/40/ http://www.nbs-review.net/40/feed/ http://www.nbs-review.net/39/ http://www.nbs-review.net/39/#comments Sat, 02 Sep 2006 12:44:14 +0000 Richard Episodes http://www.nbs-review.net/39/ http://www.nbs-review.net/39/feed/ 39:14 Download NBS Review EP14: Long ago in a land of Chips, Disks and Moving PicturesEpisode Topics: Goodbye to the Pentium processor; 50 years of harddisk technology; TV videogames ...

One you listen to over breakfast, nipping to the shops or whilst on the John, perhaps. We aim for convenience to fill those otherwise quiet spots in your day. If no one believes me that even the latest Core2's are loosely based on the old Pentium Pro's read the Wiki! 12:30: "Just increase the speed and add more stuff on to it". Honestly, what the hell was I on about?? If you know where I was going with that or any of this episodes rants drop me an email or leave a comment because I clearly don't have a clue what is up from down. The first two episode topics are more of a reportive style rather than a discussion on an issue. In future we are looking to do more of the latter and hopefully get more 'industry guests' on. Clearly we care little about not offending women by referring to you as "all just playing The Sims", which is about as much as we care for factual accuracy. When you do something, don't do it by halves. Brett also snuck in more PS3 talk into this episode despite H's adamant stance that we've talked about consoles enough. Noise other than ourselves this week is provided by the incredible Chris Kline with his Necronomicon for the intro and Final Fantasy II Prelude fantracks as end. You'll have to Google for his work since I found these weeks ago and as usual I haven't bookmarked the link to his work, to provide for you.

EA concentrating on DS rather than PSP - we inevitably rip it out of Sony. History of Sony format failures - more inevitable ripping out of Sony. Sony doesn't know about it's own Blu-Ray statistics - addition to the above. PS3 titles being cancelled in favour for Xbox 360 only - addition, again, to the above. Restricitions' on hand luggage electronics on planes. Experiences with baggage handlers. Alternative transport? Flying naked? Vista Coupons -... Aero and Intel integrated graphics and the average consumers buying habits. New NVIDIA integrated graphics are a step lower than the current 6150. ATI subpoena by Intel for its future forecasts etc. Rockstar's "Bully", marketing, parenting, game potential, getting it banned? AOL releases search data which is ultimately identifiable. Should search data remain anonymous or should it be questioned? Episode Notes: No massive topics on discussion this week, more of the little things in life that are just as important. Unfortunately, due to the news we can't help but rip it into Sony. But then again, Sony making bad press this year is as inevitable as the earth turning. After all, as consumers they should work to please US! Maybe, should people care enough; we'll get emails from Sony fanboi's. We can but cross our fingers, hope to die, stick a needle in our eye. None of us hate Sony, after all, how can you hate a company that never does anything right. OK, I'll concede on the PSX/PS2 as the possible exception, if they are your consoles of choice, that is. Tim was on his skype phone seeing as we roped him in 10 minutes before going live. Hiren has taken this week off and we miss him for keeping us in check with regards to timing. I think we have a space open for next week too so let us know if you're interested! Tim doesn't actually pee during the podcast, I've been reliably informed he was pouring a drink or perhaps collecting one from a miniature waterfall in his house? We had another half hour on quad-sli discussion, but due to the ever unenabling crap that is Powergramo: it didn't record. So after Tim falling into oblivion (not assimilated by Bethesda) we apologise for the loss of the further discussion on quad SLI. You've got an hour to listen to though, so it's not like we've left you short changed. We got scanned by the governments! NOOES!! /Changes name and goes underground, living on the edge, always on the run, a rebel without a cause... Music is from the contender for best FPS ever released: System Shock 2. No longer sold and used to be out on the net as "abandonware" for a while until Looking Glass Studios threw a hissy fit. If you do find a copy now, most likely second hand, you'll have to find an XP/2k patch to play it as it wasn't written to support the NT kernel.

Gears of War: Released at the same time as the PS3 The future of optical media: Holographic? Episode Notes: Super Special Guest is Wil Harris from Bit-tech.net. We thank him for his time :) We cracked the recording quality this week and managed to get DVD quality 48KHz/16bit, but had to downsample to 44.1KHz/16bit for podpress in order to be compatible. However, this is still twice as good as our normal noise output and I saved the mp3 in 80KHz over 64KHz to give you that extra feeling of fuzzy fidelity when listening to the music. It's apparent I have to learn when to shut up. And to eat less sugar. I've got to say, I'm finding it hard to find things to write. We've got a pretty straight cut, well conversed episode where everyone was really on the ball. I have this warm, fuzzy feeling inside. In case you didn't get the joke Wil made: Pining for the Fjords = Monty Python, The Dead Parrot Sketch. Overall cynicism level: Extreme Off the chart. I don't even know what the hell happened with little Jimmy and his swearing problem, or, uh.. other problems. It's full of confusion and everyone is taking everything the wrong way. Congratulations to everyone for really reaffirming the explicit tag we've attained. Maybe we should replace our logo with a parental guidance one? I couldn't find any free "funeral" or "death" music to go in where I said I'd put some. I spent hours trying to find some decent video game music and eventually stumbled on two out of a load I downloaded and I can't remember where I got them from to give credit! All I know is that the Intro is called Colossus and the Ending is a fan-mix from The Last Ninja game, "Central Park" level. I went through Lemmings, Final Fantasy (which is all still being sold so that's definitely out), Ridge Racer (again, on sale) and Zelda II to name a few. - Richard w00t to another complete episode!  I just wanted to stress that someone should beat the  **** out of little Jimmy for whingeing to iTunes and giving us an "Explicit" rating.  You go to hell, little Jimmy, you go to hell and you die. Some day, I'd love to release some of the outtakes of this episode, as they were beyond the very concept of entertaining... - Brett Episodes NBS-Review.net yes No http://www.nbs-review.net/36/ http://www.nbs-review.net/36/#comments Sun, 06 Aug 2006 11:41:02 +0000 Richard General http://www.nbs-review.net/36/ http://www.nbs-review.net/36/feed/ http://www.nbs-review.net/35/ http://www.nbs-review.net/35/#comments Tue, 01 Aug 2006 10:42:16 +0000 Richard Episodes http://www.nbs-review.net/35/ http://www.nbs-review.net/35/feed/ 41:59 Download NBS Review EP11: Old School For Season 2!

AMD/ATI, Torrenting.This Episodes Topics: AMD buys out ATI with super special guest star, Tim Smalley from Bit-tech.net Torrenting of game demos and game updates What games we've been playing in the last month Episode Notes (excuse list): What ever you do, never, ever buy Powergramo. Currently it's one of the worst software products I've ever used. Not only is the recording quality incredibly poor 50% of the time, but their forums lack any kind of support and when you initiate a conversation the prompt isn't to record the conversation, it's to cancel recording. So if you click YES, it cancels, not continues. Logic flies out the window and thus Hiren recorded it in Hotrecorder (at 12KHz instead of 24KHz unfortunately), instead of me recording it in a 44.1KHz/16bit wave. Then, the only output compatible was 11.5KHz mp3, which is why we sound a bit flat, despite having the best connection ever this week. Obviously, we were aiming for "old skool" this week with the 1980s recording sound quality and music to match. As always we will endever to keep trying to improve our output and will continue again next week for uber quality. Musak is to be reminised from the original Double Dragon 2, on the NES and Mortal Kombat: Goros Layer, on the Mega Drive. Snake Eyes is a reference to the gambling term for 11. To be said when using the hands in shape of guns with index finger pointing. Perhaps with a slight, Texan accent to compliment. I can't believe I missed the blatant innuendo at 2 minutes 50! Damn! If you hear echo it's because Tim was sitting 6 feet away from me, and we didn't realise how bad it would be. I eventually got off my arse and moved away to minimise it. Also blame Tim for breathing down your ear.. tsk, amateures! ;) Bretts hot market tip: Shares in AMD! GOGOGOGOGO! I seem to have my wires crossed with Brett in the game updates discussion where he's talking about WoW and I'm thinking he's referring to Battlefield which is EA. Bah the TechNetwork, we don't need you anyway. We don't need no school, no edu-cation. Why should we dub ourselves down? Why should we not be real? Without the shit, as it were. Ok, we swear a bit but it's not like we use them for adjectives, nouns AND vowels through out every sentence. We are adults making a show for adults. I don't expect children to understand the finer points of market dynamics and those who do are probably old enough to have been well versed in the language of the playground.

The first topic next week will be to discuss in depth whether a crumble can indeed be characterised as a pie? I literally cannot wait. In fact we might start a new NBS: NBS Cooking Reheating PIE MAKING!, uh, Review. Huge thanks and apologies to David Gregory, who wasn't only an incredible wealth of knowledge but accepted our barrage of questions for nearly thirty minutes. The Spanish hold nothing to us, when it comes to an inquisition. Although, I'm told, David did expect it. On Wifi; we recorded this and had the topic logged down for TWO WEEKS (NB: My "curb crawl for Wifi" comments pre-episode 9) and now Twit 59 not only comes out with the same topic but also the SAME CONCLUSIONS as us. May I be first to say: ARGH! You try to do something original and someone bigger not only beats you to it but makes you sound like you basically regurgitate their ideas. Shit. However, much respect to them for reaching the same conclusions as us, after all, we know we're awesome. Overall we had a good, straight through run, which means H hasn't had to labour with the edit. Another week, another small step towards high quality ameteurness. As this isn't our main line of work we couldn't call it, Professional. The phonetic responce this week is provided by 50FootWave, and their track, Animal. You can catch the whole thing at the end. - Richard Episodes NBS-Review.net yes No http://www.nbs-review.net/31/ http://www.nbs-review.net/31/#comments Fri, 23 Jun 2006 15:56:41 +0000 Richard General http://www.nbs-review.net/31/ http://www.nbs-review.net/31/feed/
