The perfect album for Christmas. Hauntingly beautiful as always. Enya <3How does this compare to her earlier stuff? I wasn't too impressed with her last album :(

Pre-ordered from Amazon.co.uk and a saving of Ј15 on the Steam price. I just have to wait a few days longer than those that bought it on Steam. Well I am not paying Ј15 for the privilege of bug testing (which is what the first few days will be), I wouldn't mind if it was the same price or even slightly more (although when digital distribution started they said it would be cheaper than DVDs) but Ј15 more is ridiculous.

Anyway, my rant at Valves pricing policy over, this looks like it will be one hell of a game. Can't wait.

Did I miss something?

Some mindless spat between Dath and Kain on censorship. It was annoying me.

Not as good tbh, but perfect for Christmas.

I'm sure you have a fairly respectable and non-pathetic reason for having those.




I would cut off the tips of them along the outline of your ears and apply them that way, like they did for Spock. Just a suggestion.

Just got an email saying I got into the NXE preview. Should be able to update by 2pm tomorrow. Really freakin' hope I didn't miss type my console ID number because I thought I was supposed to rush and sign up within minutes that I never bothered to double check if it was right. 12 digits.... damn! Follow up post tomorra.

Finally picked this up yesterday. The World of Warcraft launch was the worst launch ever because the check/debit/charge authorization service was down, so all checks, charges, and debit cards had to be called in by phone. We had at least a hundred people at the launch, so it was a very slow process. I managed to squeeze in an hour and a half on the first game I have bought for my PS3 since like... I don't even know. Also the first PS3 game I have owned that has the achievement trophy system. So far pretty high action, very pretty graphics (the first Resistance kind of came out very black and white too often, this one has much more color) Lots of nasty beasts to kill. Beware of the ones that swim...they suck the most. Very cool game though, I give it 95%

OMG Groovy, haven't you bought Little Big Planet? It's awesome!

I wasn't too impressed with the first Resistance tbh. I got it with my PS3 in a bundle. It just never grabbed me, but I might give it another go.

The coolest iPhone application ever. Ocarina (http://ocarina.smule.com/)

http://www.smule.com/images/ocarina-fingerholes-phone.png)

It litterally turns the iPhone into a musical instrument. I'm learning how to play loads of songs on it, and can already play Fur Elise off by heart. ^^ But as if that wasn't awesome enough, you can listen in on everyone else who owns one around the world and see exactly where they are. Quite possibly the best 59p I've ever spent.

Here is a video of someone playing the Ocarina of Time theme tune on it. (http://www.vimeo.com/2131612)

Oh and download the theme to Mirror's Edge - Still Alive by Lisa Miskovsky - and the remixes. Such a great tune.

That is brilliant! Best use of an iPhone I have seen.

still not enough to make me get one though...

I really need to get a 120gb HDD. Wanna install Skate, RB2, and a few other games. Had to delete a lot of stuff just to install FarCry 2 at 4.5gb (comparatively small, almost everything is >6.0 gigs) just for a test run.

I got a good thing: My old WoW account got hacked and then upgraded and the banned for 'economic abuse'...whatever the hell that means. In any case, I never have to think about that cursed game again!

VICTORY!!!!

Economic abuse? Sounds like gold farming for cash...

Haha, Kain is a Chinese bot farmer. :xp:

I didn't even know you ever dabbled in WoW kain.

Very good thing?

I never got involved and mixed up in WoW.

A few people I know from school skipped out these past couple days to feed their addiction.

Yes, not one of my prouder...6 months. But whatever. My brother and cousin (whom I lived with at the time) played it all the time and I'll be damned if they're better than me at ANYTHING.

well, i assume they're better than you at playing wow

I gave in and bought WotLK today lawls.

OMG Groovy, haven't you bought Little Big Planet? It's awesome!

I wasn't too impressed with the first Resistance tbh. I got it with my PS3 in a bundle. It just never grabbed me, but I might give it another go.

I got a free copy of Little Big Planet that I gave to one of my supervisors because I just don't hold interest in the damn thing.

Sony just seems to continuously dig they're own grave by constantly changing the system specs and compatibility issues. Now the joke of it all, is that Sony has since cast all backwards compatibility into the wind with it's current stripped down 80gig model, and even so with the soon to be released 160gig model. Sure, they want you to buy the new PS3 titles, but most of them are also available on 360. There are not many exclusives that shine among other systems. Most of them failed. Lair...failure. Warhawk....online only....failure. Heavenly sword...good but too short...another failure. Little Big Planet was recalled once, and a great deal of customers gave up on that title too. Next year you got God of War 3, and Killzone 2 which keeps me going because I HAVE played it and it is really great. Other than that, you got a whole lot of nothing, and it is nobody's fault but Sony. I keep my 60GB PS3, but honestly, it is mostly a blu-ray movie player for me. Recently I acquired a copy of Silent Hill, the first game that genuinely freaked me the hell out. What Sony does not realize, is that backwards compatibility is VERY important, because the current catalog is too shallow. True, most people are trading in the PS2 and all games, but many of them are going 360. Sony is failing. It is sad, but I have to say they are doing it to themselves. They have sequels to already popular games long before they have original titles. I have had my PS3 since January, and only have about 2 games...sad. This system has a great deal of potential, but they are loosing big time to original titles. I know a lot of Sony fan boys who purchased a 360, just for fable. Do the math. Sony once had a great system, but they have abandoned the fan base, and lost touch of what sells. I mean from where I am standing, they have lost all interest in the status of supply and demand. What the hell Sony?

I can sum up what Groovy just said with a quick statement:

I want a Blu-Ray player.

I need a PS2.

I don't have a PS3.

I gave in and bought WotLK today lawls.
Good, good.

At 19.99, it's worth it. And it has rubber tips on the bottom so it won't scratch my wood floors. After employee discount, it makes it only 16.99. Even sweeter!!

$163.49 - I feel violated...

Oh, but there is a prominent aftermarket for the transfer kit that comes with it... and I'll probably offload my 20GB HDD, too. In fact I just got finished listing the transfer kit on eBay here.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250328004459)

Oh, and the description...


Hey guys, wanna see an interesting eBay details page for the first time in your life?
Well, that's great, cause I made one! (Move eyes in downward gaze to see it)

Trying to save money and got a super cheap Elite Black 120GB hard drive (or that 60GB one) off eBay only to realize it was just the unit itself and was useless until you got one of these?
-or-
Decided it would be cost effective to buy them both separately rather than go to BestBuy and plop down $163.49 like I did just an hour ago?
-and-
Want more space to put all that RockBand DLC (like me) and the game installs you've been hearing is all the rage for the NXE (again, like me)?
-and-
You want to help a guy (me) who just dropped a week's paycheck ($8.65 and hour, woot!) for a hard drive he may never fill up, ever, and help recoup some of his costs?
-you do?-
All right! Then bid on this thing! I'll promise to get it shipped out the next day (maybe the day after that, I'm only human) via USPS
in one of those sweet manila colored bubble mailers that are all the rage these days.

"What's included" you ask? Well, I'll tell you in bullet points no less!

That super sweet Hard Drive Transfer Cable that you'll use once then resell on eBay yourself next week.
The super awesome Printed-on-Toilet Paper Instruction Manual that tells you how to do it... in FOUR different languages!
The all important epic Data Transfer DVD that makes you stare at a nice purple screen for an hour and 15 minutes (use that time to write up your own eBay page, like I'm doing right now)!
Includes free DVD sleeve with awesome artwork printed on it.

From one gamer to another, thanks for your business... I really am poor now. Seriously...


Oh, and "legal" stuffs:
Paypal ONLY
Ships to US ONLY
Return Policy: There is none, this thing works, if it doesn't for you maybe you shouldn't have had that elective lobotomy back in '93. Besides, you savy cons out there (not you, of course) would just love sending it back to me for a refund after using it that one time you needed it for and I'll have none of that.

Disclaimer:
I'm not crazy, I'm just having fun with eBay. If you think I'm some sort of irresponsible nut who will never send it to you, you're mistaken. I'm all buisness and I'm honest (maybe a little too honest), don't take my nonchalance too seriously.

Edit:

SOLD! For $42... Yay!

Now selling 20GB HDD. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250328545051&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123)

4 hours left at time of writing and it's still only a $13.37, but it looks like they quickly go up to the $30-40 range a half an hour before closing. Lets see how this thing does...

My brother just bought a Smithy metal lathe like This One (http://www.packratworkshop.com/pics/lathe.jpg). Can anyone say all the custom saber hilts I can eat?

I didn't know Chase was a mad scientist. That's awesome.

Did some stop watch tests on Skate load times with and without the game installed on the hard drive. Really nice since you'll hit the "session loads" constantly, depending on what you're doing you'll trigger it purposefully every 60 seconds to every 4 minutes to never.

Also started my christmas shopping at Play.com today, spent 80£.

Well, two things happened to me the other day.

1) I realized I had only 1.3 gigs free on my 360's Hard Drive (too much Rock Band DLC)
2) My DVD drive gave me disc read errors on games with few scratches.

So, I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone. I bought a 120gb 360 hard drive. I now have more space than I know what to do with, and thanks to the NXE, I installed my most played games to the hard drive. I don't care about the loading times, what I care about is it only uses the DVD drive to make sure you still have the game. Other than that, it doesn't use the DVD drive at all.

Now the thing that sucks about it, is it cost me 161 bucks with tax. I bought a 320gb hard drive for my laptop the other day for 150. So the price sucks. However, it turns out there's a huge market for the included Hard Drive Transfer Kit on ebay. TiE sold his for 42 bucks, so I am hoping to get near the same amount. If I sell that and my old 20gb hard drive, it will make the price a little more bearable.

Did I give you permission to do that?

I think not.

No but you werent around so I didnt think you would mind :p
