Friday sucks for a release day 
I might check out some shops on the way home from work tonight.

More just the fact that we moved recently and my old PC is huge, noisy and neglected. I want to overhaul the while thing. Small case to fit in a mount under the desk, new wireless keyboard and mouse, and eventually a new monitor, probably a Dell Ultrasharp. I bought The Witcher and King's Bount during the last big Stesm sale so I wouldn't mind playing those as well.Mar said:
GW2 is also on the horizon, though I am in two minds as to whether I want to dive back in to that type of game at all. It looks to be a lot less focused on competitive PvP but otherwise it's probably the most palatable online RPG with my schedule. If I'm lucky I can hound a few people and maybe get in onnsome beta action closer to release.

My only comment is that an i5-6xx and H55 combo is designed around having integrated graphics. i5-7xx and P55 drops that stuff. The price would be about the same. CPU clock is a little lower, but is quad core instead of dual.
I bought a i5-760 + Intel DP55WB with pl0k when SC2 launched. It's a basic, no-bullshit mATX board. No USB3 though.
The 4770 was, and the 5750/5770 are. I don't think we have anything official yet, and it wouldn't be the first time a hardware manufacturer had inconsistent naming, but if it's true to its namesakes it should have pretty good performance for the power draw and temps.Agyar said:

I see, this sounds worth considering. That board looks good, is there an alternative with USB 3.0 or would it be more prudent just to get that board and then buy a $30 USB 3 PCI card when/if I want the ports. I can't currently think of anything I would use them for.
Edit: How soon are we expecting this Series 6 launch? Looking around but I can't find much more than Q4.
Which one were you thinking of getting? The 23" is 30% off in the small business section at the moment: http://www1.ap.dell.com/au/en/busin...spx?refid=monitor-dell-u2311h&s=bsd&cs=aubsd1Agyar said:
The 24" is 10% off, but you can use a 15% off code (BNCMBQ4LKKLPT7, no idea how long it's valid for) in the home section and it's cheaper still. I'm thinking pretty hard about a U2410.

I was considering this very question last night, not sure how best to channel my creative efforts. A review is the obvious choice but the video is tricky. I suppose I could write a review of something I finished recently, possibly Awakening or Dead Rising: Case Zero? Shonky iPhone video would have to suffice though.
Edit: Or maybe Shank, if I finish it this weekend. It could be a better choice as I could consider it whilst playing. I'm not sure how best to approach a game review, as I think I tend to get into and champion games or not touch them at all. I'm a very forgiving person as well. I'll play a lot of things, if they can do something right. Like Shank for example, it's very derivative and looks like a Flash game but if you want to press buttons and instantly murder guys, it is perfect.

I know, it was always on my list but I never got a copy. Speaking of things I never got around to, I intend to go back and finish Condemned one of these days. Playing through Alan Wake has reminded me how terrifying that game is. Alan Wake does a good job of making the environment feel oppressive and dangerous but in Condemned I had to muster up the courage to walk anywhere, for fear of being gang banged by hobos with axes.
Agyar said:
Yeah, there's a sense of urgency in Alan Wake, but it's not a scary game. More a 'if I stand around or try and look over here I'm going to get mobbed by a thousand shadow dudes so I better run' type of thing.
How far did you get in Condemned? It's probably one of three games that I'd say are the scariest in the horror genre. The level that has you in a house in pitch black darkness with only a UV light is fucking terrifying.
DOOM 3 and Silent Hill: Homecoming are the other two. SH:H, while a pretty broken game, is perhaps one of the most terrifying and brooding I've played for a very long time. I still haven't managed to finish it because it's not a fun game to play, it stresses me out and has me on the edge of my seat. I really need to be in the right frame of mind for it.
Mar said:
I was some way into the department store level. Alan Wake is interesting because while I'm playing it, the game does a good job of holding up the illusion of space around a very limited, linear path by making the areas off the path dangerous and uninviting. Once you stop playing and reflect on it, the illusion comes crashing down and you can see how restrictive the linear path really is. I like the plot so far, looking forward to playing it more.

I actually just cancelled my pre-order for DR2 on 360, I'm going to grab it on Steam instead as it is only $40 US.
I mean I love Dead Rising, and I've played through DR2 Case Zero a couple of times now and look forward to DR2, but $40US is too good to pass up...

I'm pretty sure it is Games for Windows Live so it should have 360 pad support + achievements...

I think you're going to have to back up these claims.
First, DOOM 3 is scary. People say "lols dark!" but there was so much atmosphere built into that game it was ridiculous. Little sound cues, visual and audio side notes. Most people are too eager to claim it was nothing but monsters leaping out at you, when in fact that was the least scary aspects of the game.
Secondly, broken? What was broken about it? I don't remember anything not working, nor a single crash.

No worries - I just now looked at the manual (which is already up on the DR2 Steam page) and it does has 360 controller info in it.
Its got a few bugs- none that bad, but its is a pain if it dosn't work for you. For example for some reason it dosn't like to scale to large resolutions and sticks on 800x600- but what eva.Mar said:
Anyway one of the biggest gripes because its "lol its dark" is because like the game guy said himself- "people would enjoy it more if they could see it".
Other then that yes it did have an alright atmosphere- but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was scary.

Man I hate that feeling. Same thing happened to me with Mafia 2
So... Is there any way to capture video off an iPhone? How do sites like Giantbomb do it? There's an Apple cable you can buy but that only outputs videos on the device and photos, not whatever is showing on the screen (a game for instance). There are iPhone simulators you can use, but that's emulation with mouse clicks and would be ass.
Anyone know how sites do their captures?
