NVIDIA Auctions $10,000+ Uber-Rig for Charity

Posted by Tim On November - 20 - 2009

For those of you who check KNM on a regular basis, you know that I really don’t post a lot of press releases. This site is (mostly) about game reviews and my ramblings. However, every once in a while something jumps out at me because of its awesomeness, and this is one of those times. NVIDIA has built a ri-dic-u-lous rig and are auctioning it off for charity as of the time I’m posting this, its up around $4,000 with only about 18 bids. The auction ends in 4 days (Monday night/Tuesday morning around Midnight) so if you’ve got some cash you wanted to donate to a good cause, get in there and throw some bids down. I’ve lost family members to cancer, and this is a plague that can’t be eradicated fast enough!

Press release below, but I just want to say that I am impressed with some of the releases that are getting the PhysX and now the 3D Vision Treatment. It seems like the number of titles are growing and from personal experience the feature sets are pretty good looking. From the pic below, the game looks utterly amazing.

Just found this tasty tidbit in my email box – id’s John Carmack personally programmed Wolfenstein 3d for iPhone. Just finished downloading it and I have to say I’m already impressed with the smoothness of the controls and shooting. Weighing in at under 10mb, it has all 6 original eps and decent sounds. For 60 levels (10 levels per episode), 4.99 is well worth the price. Apparently we have more than just Wolfenstien to look forward to…

Full review will come once I have had a chance to sink my teeth into the game for a while.

More details after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »

About Me

Yo I\'m Tim - I love playing games, writing, and giving opinions about games. Bet you probably could have guessed that, eh? I\'m currently studying towards a Game and Simulation Programming degree, hoping to finish by 2012. Its my dream to be in the game industry, doing AI or anything else, really. Meanwhile, I\'ll be here posting about the games I purchase and the games I\'m fortunate enough to be asked to review. If there\'s a game you want to see, drop me a line. Lastly, I’d like to drop a shout to those who\'ve inspired me somewhere along the way: GiantBomb.com, eat-sleep-game.com, cheapassgamer.com. These guys are some of the funniest and most interesting game podcast crews out there and I just want to say thanks for keeping us laughing.
