Christ, Eurogamer's site is incredibly messy.

Not only is Uwe Boll content with destroying the legacy of Dungeon Siege he has decided to do a shitty sequel to the shitty original and call it Two Worlds to rub more salt in the wounds that we won't be getting a decent video game related movie any time soon.

They need to go back to the ultimate cheese of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.

So my parents were up for the weekend and wanted to buy me a Christmas present. No new release games I want and after giving Once Upon A Monster a miss ($60 in-store with the "Kinect helper" (which is actually a roll out sash so you know where to stand) or $50 online at Dick Smith) because the little guy is much too young to give it a shot properly I decided upon the Razer Nostromo which I had been interested in for a while just for the ease of playing games like RAGE that might control a little better with the joystick for the driving sections. It looks dead sexy.

Bit of an issue with the weight of my wrist lifting the unit up off the desk but not by much, when I am focused on using WASD it stays put.
Will have more impressions later on in the night, going to replay some RAGE and MW3 with it for giggles.

Isn't that the thing with Warrnambool though. It regularly gets massive downpours? The 2 times I was there it rained really heavily
Yup smashed down for about 5 minutes and had mini floods at the corners and roundabouts with a little bit getting into shop fronts and then stopped like God himself had run out of urine to anoint us with. So now the humidity is back. Thanks for that! Meant I could go back up the road to Aldi for OJ so win win! July was horrible for rain but it has been pretty dry this past month.

If it's a game article, cut out any objective analysis of the game, its quality or if it is any fun and just put five self indulgent paragraphcs about your taste in games and how unfortunate it is that you have to write about a game you would never play if you weren't paid to write about it.

wait. don't do that.

Joking, Jintor writes some good stuff. Start a blog and put up some of your own reviews without concern for publishers!

Spent most of today thinking about whether to buy a Vita. Then when I decided to take the plunge, amazon jp are out of memory cards;_;
Wait til the US launch on Amazon dude! Not too far away now and the lineup will be even better. Or buy local to support the good guys down at EBGames.

Hard drive working! YAAAAAAY! Thanks guys :)
Celebrate by filling it with porn. Or was it already full of porn and that is why you were so desperate to get it up and running again?

I'm planning to buy gamesvideogames.com. Or .net. Or maybe .museum, I don't know.

Also dear gods I think I hear carollers.

I want a tag give me a tag
Just made my D&D character.

Clippers having a look over it when he gets the chance.

Ladies, I hope you love a nerd boss. because that's what he is. The ultimate nerd boss.

If the D&D world was starcraft, he would be Artosis.
 
Thanks for the Lovecraftian love Rahk!

Also while checking my emails I have noticed that Square got hacked. Thankfully I never gave them my credit card details.
 

VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
So what's the difference between the verticle wii and horizontal one? It's just backwards compatibility yea?

My old man wants to get mum one for christmas.

Also, best place to get one / deal on at the moment? paging vooks!

Old one has the GameCube and can be stood vertical. That's it.

Clipper posted the best deal, but since it's for your Mum she might want the Balance board and Wii Fit Plus etc;

Nicole Kidman's looking pretty good on 60 minutes.
Was she talking about Molly Meldrum? I was trying to find out about his condition in the paper today but all I could find was this article about how Madonna and julia gillard sent him flowers or some crap. I seriously do not get this weird obsession the media has with celebrities. I'm pretty sure when Mj died they mentioned something about gillard as well. Why does it matter? Who cares if she sent her condolances? I just want to hear the news, it doesnt make a difference if someone famous said something...

ABC News from yesterday said he had surgery done?

In addition to the emergency stuff to release pressure from brain swelling ?

Edit: I guess they had to fix up the other stuff he busted. Ribs and that. It's not all about the head - but, in a way, it kind of is.

Well, the body is an elaborate support mechanism for the brain... anyway, I'm not sure. Might have just been the head swelling stuff.
 
Calvin & Hobbes right?

Razer Nostromo is pretty cool actually. Really enjoyed motoring through MW3 again after toying around with the keys. Seems like it would be a lot better on my wrists too.

This bothered me and I wasnt able to reply the past two days.
Sorry, I was on my phone and did the best I could with the tiny amount of enthusiasm I had for the reference.

In short, so basically, what I was thinking was Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this.

this being making me realize it was a BBT reference

How did you make it through those harsh 48hours?


Malkovich Malkovich. Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich?

Malkovich!

Just watched it for the first time.

Now to watch more Kaufman films. I've already seen ESOTSM but wasn't really taken with it so I shall watch that again first.
 
A gas mask, smoke grenade and a helicopter.

bonus points if anyone gets that reference
These are just three of the items that you mother doesn't accept in lieu of cash?

My apologies. I've never know exactly when the appropriate (?) time to launch into yo momma jokes is.

If your opinion does not change you may as well give up on living, for you have no heart and cannot enjoy great things.

Wow. Zelda is fucking beautiful on Dolphin.

I expect I need to tweak some settings to get it smooth though, I think it's dropping frames. Luckily it's a very slow, deliberate kind of feel to it, so it doesn't feel out of place right now.

Fuck, this sound design is amazing.

Overclocking odyssey is now over. Getting a (seemingly) stable 4.6mhz from the 3.3GHz 2500K and just under 900MHz out of my 775-stock 5850. PC running really fucking well ATM. Hngh.
 
Yes. I think a lot of very bad things about it. And everybody responsible for it. And many people involved in it. And everyone in the crowd. And the commentators.
So like 50 people?

Wow. Zelda is fucking beautiful on Dolphin.
So now you and Vince are going to swap places for the next fortnight or so? If I gift you Skyrim Vince would you play at least 50 hours and give us impressions as you go?

Getting the Wiimotes to work with Dolphin is a fucking pain in the ass though. M+ seems to chew the battery life like crazy.

I've been playing Skyward Sword on Dolphin too the past couple days. It does look pretty great and has been running smoothly for me.

I didn't really have any problem with the Wiimotes. Once the Bluetooth detects it, Dolphin has no trouble. If you're using Windows for Bluetooth, you might have to remove the remote from devices and re-sync it with Bluetooth for Dolphin to detect it.

Initially my remote seemed to go lose calibration or something after a short while of playing, but it seems to have fixed itself now.
