Re: Satoru Iwata left us too soon

"Iwata is probably best known for being a "genius" programmer, a trait which helped him climb the ranks quickly at Nintendo. Among other programming achievements, he famously saved the development of Earthbound by writing an entire scripting language for the game's dialogue boxes and cutscenes, and also helped to pack Pokemon Gold and Silver down to such an efficient size that they could add Kanto, the entire continent from the previous games.

Apparently he also enabled Smash Bros Melee to ship within the Gamecube's launch period, and played an integral role in developing early games such as Kirby."

Dual (or triple) screens for your laptop

Remember way back in the day when some company (could have sworn it was OCZ but now I can't find it) offered a laptop with multiple screens? Now you can do this with your current laptop:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/slidenjoy/slidenjoy-double-or-triple-your-screens

They're offering screens for 13, 15, and 17 inch laptops (you'll pick your size in their post-campaign survey) in both dual and triple screen configurations. The displays connect via USB 3.0 or 2.0, so it'll work with pretty much anything Mac or Windows...they're working on Linux support.

Re: TF2 Gun Mettle Update

I was thinking about TF2 Keys and what you might be able to get with the $2.49 compared to 1 item you would get from a crate. Of coarse there is the ~1% chance of something special (Strange and/or Unusual) on that one item but most likely it will just be a normal weapon. So I did a little experiment.

What Gun Mettle content can I get with $2.49 on the community market? I found out last night through this afternoon.

the answer is this:

Antique Annihilator Minigun (Battle Scared)
Antique Annihilator Minigun (Well-Worn)

31 Weapons total
26 Unique weapon / condition combinations
9 weapons that originated from crates, marked with *
8 different weapons spanning 8 of the 9 classes. Nothing for Engi. Saw at least 5 shotguns go for under a dime but wasn't fast enough to grab 'em.

Didn't pay more than a dime for any given weapon.

What am I going to do with all these weapons?
