In a joint announcement today the Nethack devteam announced a new version of the popular text based game, version 3.4.1, but the big announcement came from ATI which announced a new video card, the Radeon 9500 ASC, optimized for ASCII gaming.

[blockquote]The 9500 ASC is very similar to the 9500 PRO, but it has an added ASCII Processing Unit (APU) on the card to handle the complex calculations needed to render creatures like the A and the M in Nethack.[/blockquote]

    BBspot is a satirical news and comedy source and meant to be funny. If you are easily offended, gullible or don't have a sense of humor we suggest you go elsewhere.
