Patrician 2 is a real-time trading simulation featuring elements of construction and the historical background of maritime trade in the North European area between London and Novgorod during the 1300's. As a citizen of a medieval town, the aim of the game is to rise from the status of a simple trader to that of a big businessman and perhaps to the head of the Hanseatic League.

If I'm a fanboy of anything, it's Sega. Funnily enough, I never owned a Sega Genesis, and was never a Sonic fan back in the 16-bit heyday. I was all Nintendo and all Mario, even though I only owned a PC. But, from a content standpoint, Nintendo had my heart (in that console realm).
Fast forward a number of years, and I waited in line on 9.9.99 for a Dreamcast. In college I had dabbled in consoles, and bought a Nintendo64 while I worked at Babbage's (bonus point to anyone who shopped at one of those), but I was overall a PC guy. For some reason I saw that the Dreamcast had soul, and I loved it. In fact, I still own one (VGA adapter and all). Some of my favorite gaming experiences are on the Dreamcast. NFL2K was a monster of a game, and Jet Set Radio will be a forever favorite. I even found all the soundtracks to JSR from a local "anime" shop, back when such things were hard to find.
Recent Sega re-releases and updates have had my heart all a-twtitter. The announcement of Jet Set Radio was like welcoming home and old friend (and here's to hoping for Eyefinity/Surround support), and the recent Sonic Episodes are like a time warp back to my childhood.
NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX680 (codenamed "Kepler") was launched today. A number of reviews are up, including one here at HardOCP. The GTX680 looks like it blows past the Radeon HD 7970 at 1080p widescreen, and holds even with the AMD offering at 2560x1600 and multi-monitor.
The new NVIDIA offering also offers much improved efficiency over the GTX580, and betters the AMD Radeon HD 7970 in power consumption. Additionally, it is $50 cheaper than the AMD flagship, so I would expect price drops from AMD soon.
The best new feature on the NVIDIA card is that it can now run NV Surround from a single GPU. The previous requirement of a dual-GPU configuration was a serious roadblock to users embracing the NVIDIA multi-monitor technology. The reference card ships with 1xDP, 1xHDMI and 2xDVI connections. I'm assuming that a single-link DP>DVI adapter would allow you to run with three DVI screens.
We don't have a card here to test, but I did get a call from NVIDIA today and will be talking with them about Kepler tomorrow. So, here's hoping we'll have something to share soon.
The Patrician is a historical trading simulation, In the game the player assumes the role of a merchant in any of several cities of the Hanseatic League, accumulating money, capital and consumer goods, and real estate, expanding his company, and furthering his career at home and abroad.
