iPad 3,3 support added to absinthe

Agentsmith2011 · 2 days

Because he's referring specifically to those minor revisions. Those are Apple Model Identifiers. It's not just "iPad 3" or "iPad 2" because that doesn't tell you enough.

What he's working on is support for the iPad 2,4 which is the most recent revision of the iPad 2 that uses a new chipset. The iPad 2,1 through 2,3 was jailbroken long ago. Apple uses that system to differentiate between minor revisions of the same product.

To translate it:

iPad 2,1 = iPad 2 WiFi 16/32/64
iPad 2,2 = iPad 2 WiFi + 3G GSM 16/32/64
iPad 2,3 = iPad 2 WiFi + 3G CDMA 16/32/64
iPad 2,4 = iPad 2 WiFi 16 New 28nm version
iPad 3,1 = iPad 3 WiFi 16/32/64
iPad 3,2 = iPad 3 WiFi + 4G CDMA 16/32/64
iPad 3,3 = iPad 3 WiFi + 4G GSM 16/32/64

With newly introduced support for the iPad 3 and the new iPad 2 revision, every iPad released will be supported by Absinthe.

It's Apple's Model Identifier. For the most part the first number is the major revision and the second number is the minor revision.

For example my Mac Pro is the first one so it's a Mac Pro 1,1. The iPhone 3G was the second iPhone but it had the same internals as the original iPhone so it's iPhone 1,2.

In this case, iPad 3,1 is the WiFi model. iPad 3,2 is the Verizon 4G model. iPad 3,3 is the GSM 4G model. He says iPad 3,3 instead of iPad 3 to indicate that all iPad 3s are supported not just the WiFi model.

What the hell does anyone want?

A better and more reliable temporary solution. I think the article makes that painfully clear.

Why is it stupid?

Because obviously less TTC vehicles on the road would be better for motorists. It goes without saying, and it's not a good justification for anything.

The biggest delay driving down Queen is waiting twice at every stoplight. once for traffic to move ahead a couple cars, then once for the streetcar to block both lanes letting passengers on/off.

Yup, that's what happens in a city with heavy transit requirements. I'm going to go ahead and prioritize the vehicle moving hundreds and thousands of people across the city all day over one guy driving his personal vehicle home.

At least busses pull over and keep the road moving.

Not to mention they also get cut off, show up later than any vehicle, cost way more, pollute way more, carry less people, and run less frequently. Buses are only beneficial for those not riding the TTC. The absolute last group the TTC should be catering to is motorists who only want them out of the way. Ask anyone who actually rides the TTC, the bus is the last choice after all possible subway and streetcar routes are unavailable.

If all someone has to say on this matter is "thank god the streetcars are gone so I can drive faster" then they should do everyone a favour and shut their selfish mouth. They clearly can't look past their own self interest to acknowledge what's good for the city so their opinion is worthless.

Anyone else just hate Sony's business practices when it comes to stuff like this? Their progress towards getting PSOne and PSP titles on the PSN is laughably slow. The region differences are infuriating and worse than any other company. I love Sony's hardware but as a company they drive me up the wall.

I wish every Canadian news organization would remove comments, period. They make us look like dicks, and a worthwhile discussion has basically never taken place there.

Leave commenting to third party services and aggregators like reddit and Twitter or else people will continue to associate said stupidity with your site.

Some motorists are happy, however. They claim the buses allow traffic to move more quickly, said McMahon.

Wow, stick it up your ass. What a stupid comment to make.

Have you played D3? What do I need to expand upon? The mechanics are identical to D2. If you can't see that it's not even worth beginning an argument.

thinkpadius · 8 days

You're nearly the only person here doing the one-word response thing, and people are calling you out for it.

Only one response was a single word, the rest just didn't need to be lengthy. I don't need to flesh out an in depth argument, just play the damn game. The mechanics are identical.

Please take fanboisim elsewhere

What fanboisim? Please point it out because I don't even like Blizzard that much so it's news to me.

this is truegaming not gaming.

Near meaningless distinction, people are just as immature if not more so here.

The person here had an opinion and they made it known, that is what this subreddit is for, do not pick apart his post like that.

My opinion is that his opinion is based on pre-judgement and not actually playing the game, which is near identical in presentation to D2 except it uses the WoW engine.

I love that his opinion is sacrosanct because you agree with it but mine is disruptive trolling because you don't. Yeah /r/truegaming is real mature alright.

It is now World of Diablocraft.

It's so not. The gameplay mechanics are so identical to Diablo it's amazing.

The atmosphere feels like WoW.

Also wrong, you've clearly never played WoW. It rips off D2's environments too.

And what of the single player experience?

Also near identical except it's always online.

Am I wrong?

Yes.

Should I not compare this game to Diablo 1 and 2?

No you should, you should just not let your pre-judgement cloud your opinion of the game as it exists. Consensus is basically that it's a simplified D2 with better graphics with online improvements & DRM borrowed from WoW. If anything they played it too safe.

It's Future Shop so Canada only, but it's the best price I've seen yet. Free shipping & free in store pickup.

They also have Little Deviants and ModNation Racers for $25 used each and Ninja Gaiden Sigma for $35 used but you can frequently find those titles new at that price so it's less impressive.

Oh, and Best Buy Canada has dropped Lumines to $30 along with Army Corps of Hell, Shinobido 2 and F1.

True but I'm not charging you tax.

With tax it would be $260 open box. Accessories together would run you about $50. $310-320 is roughly what you would pay for everything listed used in total. I still wouldn't really classify that as a "steal". Especially considering the 4GB card is too small to really do anything with and soft cases aren't good for the analog sticks.

If you had looked you would find the only things that come with the vita are the ac adapter and usb.

I own a Vita but I got the FEB so I didn't realize the core package was so light on the accessories. I assumed it came with the cloth case because the FEB came with a hard case. I place zero value on a screen protector, I would remove it and throw it out the moment I got it.

The bell iphone 3gs goes for about $200.

I suppose, but this is the wrong time to invest in a 3GS. It goes for $200 because it's truly painful to use with iOS 5.1.1. Anything less than an iPhone 4 isn't worth it anymore unless you just plan on using it as a dumbphone.

It's already a steal at that price.

FYI it's not. I can pick one up open box from Futureshop for $229 and Rayman Origins is $30 used. 4GB card is $12 used. Everything else you listed comes with the Vita. $25 off is not really a steal, more like a small discount. Also all Bell iPhones are worth more than this.

IMO your valuation is a little off.

If it moved like cars, I would most likely think it's awesome

First of all, Asphalt is the farthest thing from "moving like cars". It's an arcade racer. In other words, unrealistic physics designed to be really easy to drive. Secondly, that isn't what Wipeout is supposed to be. That's like saying Final Fantasy Tactics is the best FF game. It's not, you just like tactics and not regular RPGs.

Likewise, if you don't like how futuristic racers function that's fine but then there is no need to share your opinion on them or make unreasonable comparisons. I mean go ahead, but the opinion just doesn't contribute anything.

BUT... It has a lot of different race types, lots of cars, lots of levels, and lots of car upgrades/tweaks.

Right, like I said, every arcade racer gimmick crammed into one title. The tweaking is near meaningless. It's almost all cosmetic. That's what I hate about Gameloft. It's all the trimmings of a game with none of the underpinning. Some of us notice and hate it, even if you don't.

I don't give a flying fuck what other devices you can play Asphalt on...

Then you're a goddamn idiot. Honestly, you'll pay 40x the price to play it on the Vita? You're the worst kind of consumer. It's a 99c game, and it shows.

Motorstorm RC is not mediocre at all... it's a fantastic game.

"Fantastic" games don't get released as ad-supported freemium titles. They would do just fine on their own.

I've played almost every Asphalt and almost every Wipeout. There is no comparison. Wipeout is actually good, Asphalt exists so Gameloft can cram every arcade racing gimmick into a single ripoff title.

Tastes differ and whatnot, but if you like Asphalt over Wipeout you like rushed games with shitty production values over games that dev teams actually spent time on. I can't really support that standpoint. Motorstorm RC is mediocre, hence why it's free.

The other thing about Asphalt is as a series it's painfully easy. There is no effort involved, just time sunk. I actually had to put effort into completing Wipeout. If I'm going to play a game that easy I would at least like it to be well produced and unique, hence why I'm playing Diablo III right now.

Finally, even if I wanted to play it I can get it for 99c on any other platform. I have about 15 devices in my house that will run an Asphalt game for 1/40th of the price. Why not just do that?

Asphalt Injection is a bullshit launch cash grab. Don't support it.

It's difficult to do any real harm to Wikipedia, everything is tracked and revertible.

DeTune has existed for about a year and half. It's a good option now but who knows what the future will hold. History has shown it will fade away like the rest of them after the developer becomes too busy or Apple changes their encryption. It's open source so that bodes well for the future, but we've seen that strategy fail in the past as well. iRip has existed for 9 years and has never broken with only one paid upgrade in that time. iRip also exists on Windows, which is currently lacking an up-to-date utility for this purpose.

The free utilities are great, they're just kind of unreliable. It's the kind of app I only use once in a while so I was finding the free utilities broken every time I needed them. For $10 it's worth having around.

Really wish they would update the art already. They made widescreen art for the Vita version already, why not use it?

tazz131 · 11 days

It's on right now. No Vita games are on sale.

hedwig9 · 11 days

That is such a ridiculous requirement. If they wanted you to do that, they shouldn't have made the card proprietary. I would just argue that it's crazy to expect me to know someone else who has a Vita and will let you use it considering they've only sold a couple million of the things worldwide. It's not a PS3 ffs.

Either that or bust out Near and start knocking on doors.
