So, is it just me or is Dead Space (the first one) really not that good a game, and in parts quite frustrating?
Every time I try to make a valiant push to finish it, it stonewalls me with yet another "fuck you" moment and I leave it for a few weeks or months until I try to slog through it again.
Is the second one like this? I want to like it, but it's really making it difficult to do so.

I usually add my podcasts as AudioBooks, give them an arbitrary album title/track title that sorts well, and then set them to "remember position" and "skip when shuffling".

WMA anyone? And unlike Microsoft, everyone is allowed to use the M4A (AAC) format.
See, just because everyone grew up on Windows, doesn't mean it's standard.

The core idea of iTunes is great. It's more a database than a bunch of files, and having album artwork, a store, conversion tools and all of that in one place is excellent. It's also a device management tool. However, it's now so complicated that it's really easy for shit to go bad.

This does not solve the issue of the device wiping on occasion, trust me. I've always manually managed my iPods and phones.
Thanks Gaz. Also on the list is Smallworld, Superbrothers: Swords and Sorcery and Collision Effect plus I'll have all the stuff from my iPhone.
Never took advantage of folders on the iPhone because swishing the screen back and forth gives me a little buzz. Will be looking to make my iPad a much tidier affair.

Since the topic's on iTunes I guess I might post the issue I've had for months now. Whenever I plug my iPod into my MAC it says that it's synced with another PC and I can't sync my music or backup my apps without formatting. Is there anyway to bypass this issue instead of formatting? I don't think it is synced on another computer...
And I can't format since I'll lose the songs I've bought through iTunes that arent synced.

I'm not talking about the audio compression format, but the actual files. They're not just stored on the device in the 'regular' way, but they are named oddly and do not appear to correspond with the size of the actual files once on the device.Mar said:
These are the reasons I want to like the game. I don't even mind the monster closets so much if they're well-placed for maximum enjoyment. What I don't like are the moments where you're expected to do figure things out by trial and error. The error involves you dying because you're so frustrated at having almost no pointers. I don't want everything totally obvious, but when I die 10 times and spend 30 minutes on something I just turn it off.MrSerrels said:
The trial and error and death thing is what turned me off Limbo as well, even though I understand it was kind of the point, it didn't increase my enjoyment of it any more.

The idea of it's nice, but iTunes has always been a bloated piece of software. Steam used to get criticised for this, then it got a LOT better over time, it seems itunes never has. And do you know what, it doesn't negate the fact that it could do ALL that, and still let it be a plug & play usb storage device. But apple have specifically chosen with about all of these devices to my knowledge, to still not let it be one.
The same thing can be said in regards to FLAC. It's been the default standard for lossless audio for quite some time now (I'm aware there are others, but FLAC is the most popular by far). Apple goes off and uses their own ALAC, which no one outside of the Apple devotees want anything to do with.Mar said:
Just to show how much of cocks they are Apple are going to punish stores which took preorders for the ipad 2
maybe apple needs to realise having customers line up outside your store is not everyones fucking cup of tea. in a shopping centre i can imagine it causing huge deals of angst from retailers near by as people can't get around
George street is already amess in sydney

It happened on release on the last iPad if you recall. If I went into JB and asked if they were getting it, the would say they're not sure, knowing full well they would be. The smart ones I heard were saying "I don't know" whilst nodding their head to get the message across.Choc said:
This is a clear tactic on Apple's part to generate these lines and get free PR while pissing many people off. If people think the only place they can get their product on day 1 is an Apple store, they line up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall any of this happening before Apple stores even existed.
Hell yeah. State Election sausage sizzle map: http://www.castnerit.com.au/2011-nsw-election-sausage-sizzle-map/
Tossing up whether to vote early this weekend or line up and get a sausage.

anyway, as for finding weed.... i think the general rule is to discreetly ask the artsy "hippy" types at universities who they get their bud from. they should be able to sell you some directly or put you in contact with someone who can. you just need to broach the subject properly so you don't freak them out and make 'em scatter
That was me.
Thanks for the info (reptile too).Didn't realize that this was a general thread for Aussies to shoot the shit in.
I have a friend who can get me bud, but want to be prepared just in case. Surprisingly good quality and affordable here. With yeyo being ~$400 a gram and not great, I was expecting far worse.
Bogans scare me. How can you be born and raised here and not have a grasp of the English language. How can you have skinnier arms than my mom, and walk around like you're tough?
I love how huge seafood is here. No wonder we call them prawns instead of shrimp. 1 Calamari ring here has a circumference greater than 5 calamari rings in the US.
how do people afford things here. Shit be crazy, especially consumer electronics and videogames. I think I remember SNES games being $129 as a kid, so maybe things are getting better?
Will try to join in on the convo next time, don't own an Ipad or Iphone though. Goog4lyfe
It's extremely simple. The only issue is that you will need to get somebody in the States to buy US PSN cards for you to buy stuff with. You'll still be able to play the game and stuff you buy on your Aus account just fine too, you only need to switch accounts to buy stuff.Stackboy said:
Oh, when choosing your address, pick something in California (I just made up a street name in Beverly Hills so I didn't need to look up a postcode (90210)). California has zero tax on online purchases, so you save money. The only fee I end up paying on the PSN cards and purchases is the Paypal transfer fee when I pay my friend for picking up the card and messaging me the code.
This all assumes that you are indeed getting the PS3 version. I have no clue what hoops may or may not exist on 360.
Heh, you just made me think about the hilarity if they were actually releasing the iPad 2 tomorrow (due to NSW election). I wonder if they would accept "I was waiting in line for an iPad 2" as an excuse when they send out the letters to people that failed to vote.Fredescu said:
