Happened about 2 weeks ago. I'm on a Mac. Clicked Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer icon. It bounced in the dock a few times, but never launched. Odd. Tried again. Icon bounced once and no launch. This went on for some time but I could never get the game to launch. Restarted my machine a few times. Uninstalled/reinstalled COD4. Even tried a launching the program from a guest account. Nothing. I ended up upgrading my OS thinking it was too far out-of-date (I was running Snow Leapord 10.6.8). Anyway, I've since updated to El Capitan (10.11.1). Still no launch. Ran Disk Utility. No launch. After some Google-fu, I ran across an issue with the game and sound card. In these cases, plugging in a mic seemed to fix the issue. I've tried this and still haven't had any luck. Sorta at a loss at to what steps to take next. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! -
Nordic Games has released the launch trailer for the upcoming Darksiders II "Deathinitive" Edition, which arrives in just a few more days on October 27 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. As announced previously, the Deathinitive Edition boasts 1080p graphics and includes all DLC released for the game during its initial run . In addition, the game uses a new rendering engine to improve how the lighting and shadows look. Players can also expect better graphics overall for characters and environments. Darksiders II has also had its gameplay systems tweaked somewhat for the new release, as the game's balancing and loot distribution mechanics have been "reworked and tuned." Deathinitive Edition DLC includes: (Maker Armor Set, The Abyssal Forge, The Demon Lord Belial, Death Rides, Angel of Death, Deadly Despair, Shadow of Death, Mortis Pack, Rusanov's Axe, Van Der Schmash Hammer, Fletcher's Crow Hammer, Mace Maximus, Argul's Tomb. The game will sell for $30. Leading development on the Deathinitive Edition is Gunfire Games. This studio is staffed almost entirely by people who worked on the Darksiders franchise at creator Vigil Games before its closure. Looking ahead, Nordic Games--which acquired the Darksiders franchise from THQ when the company went bankrupt--has said it has plans for a third game in the series. Source http://www.gamespot.com/

Samsung has announced a pair of high-capacity SSDs based on its 3D NAND (also known as V-NAND) technology — the 850 EVO and the 850 Pro. Specs on the drives are similar to the smaller capacity products that have already launched, but the drive densities have skyrocketed. The 2TB 850 Pro contains 128 individual 32-layer Flash ICs (128Gb capacity per IC, or 16GB). Samsung also upgraded the MHX NAND controller to handle 2TB arrays, and boosted the on-drive cache to 16Gb (2GB) of LPDDR3. Take the original 850 Pro and 850 Evo and scale them up, and this is what you get. Performance specs on the two drives haven’t been disclosed yet, but we’d expect the 850 Pro to be moderately faster than the 850 EVO, which uses TLC NAND and an SLC cache buffer to boost overall performance. Readers may be concerned about the 850 EVO suffering from some of the same issues that have plagued the original 840 EVO, but we’ve seen no reports that link the 850 EVO to similar performance degradation — and there’s reason to think it may not be an issue. Samsung’s vertical NAND is built on 40nm technology rather than the 19nm NAND that Samsung used on the 840 EVO. While lower process nodes are typically thought of as being unilaterally good for semiconductor design, that’s not the case for NAND flash, which suffers lower data retention and decreased durability as the process node shrinks. In this case, the 850 EVO likely benefits from being built on higher process technology while still offering the benefits of vertical design. We’ve covered Samsung’s V-NAND, the 850 Pro, and 850 EVO in the past, so readers wanting more information on these topics are advised to refer to those articles. The one difference we do know about as of this writing is the warranty period on the two drives and the total write guarantee is quite different. Samsung guarantees the 850 EVO to 150TB written, whereas the 850 Pro is guaranteed for 10 years or 300TB written. Previous testing has confirmed that drive manufacturers tend to be extremely conservative about the maximum write capacity of their drives; even TLC drives are often capable of writing 2-3x more data than the manufacturer specifies. Pricing for the new drives is reportedly set at $800 for the 2TB 850 EVO and $1000 for the 2TB 850 Pro. while still a huge amount of money in absolute terms, these figures show that the 850 Pro has come down to 50 cents per GB — a huge advance compared to a few years ago, when $1 per GB was common, even on budget drives. We don’t expect to see SSDs fall to HDD per-GB pricing in the near-term future, but the gap between the two standards should continue to decrease, making larger capacity SSDs more affordable in the process.
