Hey guys.

Video games!

I finished Bioshock 2 over the weekend. A year and a half late, I know, but I quite liked it. Your choices affect the eventually consequences much moreso than the first one.

The Monado is a pretty impressive looking sword, but we think you could show us an even mightier sword. We want you to draw for us, be it on paper and scanned in or on a computer, the most epic of swords. It doesn’t have to be the biggest but we want it to look interesting, unique and most of all, a sword that could be seen in the world of Xenoblade.

lol

the whole time i was thinking, vook wants me to draw a boner.

BONER SWORD

My god I have a heap of crap cluttering my desk I don't need. Does anyone have a system for keeping their desks manageable? Assuming you can start from scratch.

My solution involves kerosene and a new desk.

We live in a world where sword automatically means wang
 
so... how the hell do you get a bluray movie to play in win 7?

I bought a drive to burn backups but thought it might be nice to watch a movie when I'm in Win 7.

how the hell do I do this legit without having to pay $50 for powerDVD (I'm not pirating anything, I mean a cheaper option)
 
Watching BluRay on PC is stupidly difficult. You need a motherboard that supports it, a digital connection to the monitor that supports it, an OS that supports it and then software that supports it.

Pretty sure you'll have to buy some sort of software.

Most blu ray drives come with OEM software on the disc, check that?

The question is, why? :p
Because I need 43 tabs of streaming porn sites active in the background for me to be effective at my day job.

Can't help but feel my PC is smarter than me, even though it only thinks in ones and zeroes.

BLAH BLU RAY SCREENCAPS BLAH BLAH WHY NO WORKY

I don't understand these crazy technical terms, why can't I get my giant screencaps
 
Basically, in order to make BluRay "uncopyable", they made it ridiculously difficult to even play on anything but standalone devices. And of course, people are ripping them left, right and centre anyway.

As usual, DRM has only hurt the honest customers.

What kind of models are you loading that you need that much RAM?

Some of these small form factor dells or HPs for a Uni here in melbourne have 16GB installed. I have no fucking idea why since it looks like they are running XP on them too.

Also I hate frawd. He beat my NFS:HP time by using shortcuts! I have some odd morale obligation to never using them, He has won this round. I believe it *might* be possible to get a close time if not beat it without shortcuts but it would require perfect driving and something always goes wrong.

I'm also thinking about ditching my P193 case and going small form factor, Well something smaller. I wouldn't mind using the P193 as my server (if/when i do build it) since it would have enough storage bays to last me a few years.

My current goal is.
Get a side storage for my computer desk. I want to be able to throw my PC on top, time machine, modem, power board and ps3 below on another 1 or 2 boards. I just can't seem to find a side desk for my desk that's small enough to fit in my room.

Any suggestions of where to look? Ikea's got fuck all and that's the only place i know of :(

My wireless 360 racing wheel blew up and caught on fire and I haven't played NFS:HP since. Amazing how much the wheel improved the game (if only for being able to precision-steer whilst activating weapons). Maybe one day in the future Criterion will make an even better HP game and I'll play it on PC with a wheel.

Prepare to yawn- it's geometry with properties. Simply a very large database presented in 3D. I won't say more because of IP constraints and the fact that it's quite dull. Would make for one fucking huge game of minesweeper mind you.

Have you thought of going to a furniture store? =P

I don't know what this is. There's probably very few stores around me as well. Since I don't drive it's going to be a bitch checking them all out.

Maybe i should just build one? Hammer, nails, glue, wood. What else could you need and what could possibly go wrong.

EB Game's Australian arm have the best hold music of any company I've called so far. Such a fat beat. Shame the assholes "don't engage with the mainstream media".

Wankers. Anyone of you illustrious journalists here know how to get in contact with GAME? Googling for media contact details is incredibly fruitless. Probably means they wouldn't talk to me anyways. but you have to try xD

EDIT : Also that HD collection, no matter how much I want it, is kind of useless for me xD As the kind of super fan who'd want to own something that cool, I already own MGS4 and a copy of MGS1 on PSN ;__;

Nintendo's help line music was pretty good, though obviously it's all just Nintendo stuffs

Why you need to talk to GAME, Aon?

But dude, ONE OF FOUR THOUSAND! Also yes I already own all those games.

I'm a sucker for limited stuff like this, but luckily I never really cared for MGS

I did get this a few years back though

Only 5000 were ever made and sold in Australia!

Still got my MGS4 awful figurine edition.
The blu ray was nice, but every now and then I feel like throwing out the figurine. It's in a box somewhere taking up space until it breaks I guess.



edit: I remember some years ago a local comic shop had a #1 of 1000 Godfather trilogy special edition. It was awesome (and on VHS)

Trying to get some retailer to talk to me about the potential sales impacts of the R18 thing for some uni piece. I've contacted some of the smaller retailers, the iGEA on Serrels' recommendation, EA just cos they talk more than any other Australian pub and finally Serrels has said he'll give me a Pachter interview if nothing else seems to go to plan.
Will it all work out? Who knows!

Got any ideas for extra people I should try to get on the horn? :D

EDIT: The version of MGS3 is subsistence, which has the more modern camera controls. I've still yet to play Subsistence, so I'm really excited for the re-release. Played through normal MGS3 at least 6 times now xD
 

VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
Got into the car after getting Subway, Large coke EVERYWHERE on me, the car, the wheel, the door, the floor, fuck. It was only 1/4 spilled too. All Sticky at work now.

This is why I bring my own lunch normally.

Also this Subway had no ice, fucking hell.
