Flatout is highly awesome and highly underrated. Pick it up!

I was a little surprised that it's just an up-rezzed/improved version of Flatout 2, but it's still awesome, especially for $20.

Someone (maybe game informer, or someone here) called it Burnout's Redneck Cousin. I like the sloppy edge-of-crashing-at-all-tmes control a lot. Ditto the nordic metal soundtrack.

wow nice! Are you planning on getting another GTX or something, because of the SLi board and 1000watt PSU?

Anyway Personally I would have gotten the new Western Digital 640 gb harddrive which uses the new 320gb per platter technology resulting in performance increases for overall uses.

Thanks :)

Yeah SLI is coming(possibly three way if i get a decent price for my old tv), although i am going to have to probably get a new case for it when i do. the case looks a decent size empty, but throw a part or two in er, and well....

I had to put the hard drive cages at the very top and very bottom, or else the video card would touch the drives leaving no room for cables, and had to mount the cages further out, to accomodate the cables. Also, you can see the tuniq tower there, which in order to get in i had to bed the side of the case a little, then bend it back once it was in.

As for the hard drive, its actually a seagate 7200.11, so isn't very far behind performance wise, and i really need the space. its sad seeing a grand total of 700mb free accross 2tb of space.

Yeah saw it at a local game shop, it was about $45 used.

I think it's the only one I've seen so far on my trip (here for a month so far, two more to go). I did see some other Espgaluda love in this very thread as well, I wonder where he got his?

Still looking for DoDonPachi DaiOuJyou.

Play-Asia has them for $65 new if you really want it.

The image was taken with the camera that was in the box! Finally, an actual camera. It isn't the very best image ever, but it's good, and it's tiny.

Picked up Viking. It's pretty good so far. Got a Mahalo Uke since my old one finally broke. I have a custom tenor sized Ukulele getting built at the moment so its a few weeks away :(

T'would be me. I got mine during Play-Asia's 20% off sale for $55 shipped new. Would've purchased DDPDOJ at the same time if I had money to spare. Alas, it will have to wait.

Got my Red Vs Blue boxset. Pretty nifty. I like the DVD cases inside. Never before has popping a disc out been so easy! They should put that quote on the box.

Just picked up a Zune 80 for $138.54 ($149.07 with tax) at Best Buy yesterday. Got them to PM a price mistake (I assume) that was listed on Walmart.com. Played around with it and so far I'm loving it (sorry for the bad picture - I have an ancient digital camera).


IMG_0279.jpg



Only annoyed by one thing on the Zune software though. I can't get album names to change from "unknown album" to whatever I want (even if I edit the album name in both the Zune player and out of the Zune player - it won't change it in my Zune). Even if the Zune software knows the name of the band - the music doesn't show up under the artists name - but only under "albums" and in "unknown album". Can't find a fix for this either after googling it. But it's a minor problem considering the price I payed it for.

-40gb PS3
-PSP regular (used off cousin)
-Razer Copperhead gaming mouse (great mouse! Had to replace my Logitech G7 which was starting to wear down, I prefer the G7 but I paid $15 after rebate at the time for it so I dont feel like shelling out 70+ for a G9)
-Ratpadz gaming mouse surface (the mouse glides smoothly but not so much that its slippery)

The Zune looks pretty slick! I have the iPod Touch but would buy a Zune anyday if it were avail. here in EU. Nice one, also the price :)
