Damn, I'm too late for the hype train.
Is it like GAF Gold, where I need to kill one who's already in to take his place ?
There is no too late for the HYPE TRAAAIIINNN!!!

Hockey would be sick if you could change the players on your lines on the fly with the controller rather than having to pause the game, go through a series of menus and so on.

Icarus..? Nah! More like Hotblack Desiato and Disaster Area lol.
I've finally got off my arse and sorted out an avatar...but it's going to look a little weird on the hype train.

You're taking it too far now!
you son of a bitch
Awesome!
Oh thanks for the info! I was hoping to watch some live streamed events, but I have finals soon so it's probably best that I can't watch.Rösti;35689164 said:

Here's some music for the hype train as well: http://open.spotify.com/user/rösti/playlist/2qoPtaMymaARA4MR0V7K8l
It's mostly Nintendo related music, but I threw in some other things as well.

question: if Wii U's GPU has 32 MB EDRAM, will the bandwidth likely be greater than Xenos' internal .256 GB/sec bandwidth ?
what's wrong

That just makes it worse.
I agree, a lot of people think your setting yourself up for dissapointment with this stuff but if you look at it as good fun it can actually be better then real news.

I love you guys. I love you all.
I hope I'm not banned at GDC...
Why would you be banned?

Sorry to derail the Hype Train for a moment but I'm currently thinking about the U's eDRAM and RAM.
Firstly the eDRAM. IBM confirmed that the CPU would have eDRAM and as far as I remember lherre has also stated that the GPU will also have eDRAM to play with. Do you think we're looking at a shared pool of eDRAM or two sets of eDRAM, one for the CPU and one for the GPU..? Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the former option involve some sort of latency or involve conflicts when processing..? And has the GPU actually been confirmed for definite to have eDRAM rather than 1T-SRAM..?
And lastly the RAM. Several sources have stated that the RAM is 'slow'. So could we be looking at GDDR3 with a high clockspeed and larger bus rather than GDDR5 with a lower clockspeed and smaller bus..? And if it is GDDR3 then hasn't the density recently been doubled, or am I remembering things wrongly..? If the density has been doubled then does that mean that more than 2GB of RAM is feasible..?
And if Nintendo have gone for slower GDDR3 will the eDRAM in both the CPU and GPU prevent bottlenecking..?
Apologies in advance for a shedload of questions!

Is there room for one more on this vessel...? > (Just make sure he's pointing at the sun if you're kind enough to add my avatar in.)

It would definitely be two pools.
Intel has stated that he CPU has its own "large" pool of eDRAM, and if the GPU has some, then it'll be separate.
And yes, a larger set of eDRAM will help with any bottleneck issues.
Why would you be banned?
That stupid ban bet I made
Anyways, can't wait. Nintendo will either go all out or nothing at all. They never do things by half.

Which one was that, again?
Also, I thought they stopped allowing ban bets.

There are some events Nintendo will be attending before E3. I wrote about the events in an earlier post: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35274564&postcount=8451
Most likely of these to bring new information about Wii U is PAX East.
