Not gaming, but hardware related.

And now something for the ladies. This odd-looking and almost laughable computer was released in 1965 by Honeywell under the official name H316 Pedestal Model, but was featured on the cover of a Nieman-Marcus catalog under its more commonly-known name, the "Kitchen Computer".

The Kitchen Computer is most likely where the classic recipe storage cliché originated, as this was the primary use advertised for the Kitchen Computer. In fact, storing recipes was about all the Kitchen Computer was capable of doing. The recipes were programmed into the computer and it would store them for you. In other words, it was an electronic recipe storage box, nothing more.

When one thinks of computer hardware, they often think of a monitor or a keyboard or a printer. Well, the Kitchen Computer has perhaps the oddest piece of "hardware" we have ever heard of -- a cutting board. Yes, a cutting board! This oddity was most likely added so the food could be prepared right there without having to walk away from the recipe display, considering the Kitchen Computer isn't as portable as a good old-fashioned cookbook (It weighed a staggering 150 pounds).

The Kitchen Computer was obviously geared towards housewives who loved to cook. However any housewives who wanted one of these had to shell out A LOT of green, considering the Kitchen Computer sold for $10,600 when it was first introduced (You could buy about four new cars for that much money in 1965!). This price tag included the built-in recipes, and also included a cookbook and an apron !!

Imagine having one of those in the kitchen, you'd be the king of hipster cooks. "Vintage" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Now they should kill that useless crap called uWontPlay.

I thought it was pretty straight-forward, self-explanatory, raging-lavatory. What's to explain? Are you retarded or something?

Too large and overly complex corridors? Does that mean that there are turns? Truly, the next gen has arrived in force!

The "overly complex" part is the "Create A Soldier" thing.

Ghosts preserves much of the look and feel of the traditional Call of Duty multiplayer experience, but introduces sweeping changes that make it more personalized, more diverse, and better balanced. At its core lies the expansive new Create a Soldier system, which affords us the ability to create and customize 10 unique characters, each with up to six loadouts, for a total of 60 available classes and 20,000 possible configurations. Create a Soldier also riffs on Black Ops II’s Pick 10 system, allowing you to forego certain equipment in order to outfit a primary weapon with extra attachments or enable extra perks. In all, there are an impressive 39 weapons, 12 pieces of equipment, 35 new perks, 36 scorestreaks spanning three categories, and various weapons attachments to choose from.

Create a Solider is ambitious in its scope, and the sheer breadth of options caters to and empowers every style of play. Whether you want to run around like a high-powered knife-wielding mutant or move stealthily through a map by using heightened senses, you can. But for all of its versatility, Create a Soldier is dauntingly complex next to previous Call of Duty games. Even after hours of matches and experimentation, I felt as though I had only begun to understand the nuances of each of the 35 unique perks and how to optimize my classes for a specific style of play. On the one hand, Create a Soldier’s depth will have enthusiast players honing their perfect loadouts for months, but on the other, it makes for a more challenging entry-level experience.

Too large maps. :lol:
Remember when people wanted larger and larger maps and more and more features? Now it's the other way around. Remove everything. The apex of level design will be an empty cubical room.

Well hey, how are you supposed to know that you have to advance through the linear corridors? What if you think you have to stay in one place?

I see a Scanners scene, where dudebro thinks about the "nuances" of the game. The brain can't take so much informations at once. Head epxlodes with doritos all over the room.

Cubes have edges, someone might hurt themselves. Better make it round.

The only noticeable change, a shift from an ash-grey to piss brown color filter, is no doubt a deliberate and evocative artistic statement.

I can imagine some firebrigade fanboyfaggots defending that to no end. "L0L U suck more than this!"
