  1. Yeah it's the same brand. US started getting them in '98.
  2. vs Our Now 42 came out in 1999. edited by dean again: Fixed link back to the original one that I linked cos it made more sense than posting the base "Now that's what I call music" wiki page when I'm saying out Now 42 came out in 1999. ¬_¬, Ethan!
  3. And if we scroll up you see that Rocksteady/Warner Bros have learnt nothing.
  4. I'm pretty sure this is just a thread. If you guys were to say pool together enough money to lobby this into law then you could maybe fix it. But you'd need an awful lot of money. To make that awful lot of money may I suggest releasing a series of books and films and using the acquired funds over the century to fund the change in copyright law?

      By default iOS grants more permissions and you don't touch them. Android asks the user, but they don't curate apps - which is great, until one applies an exploit to grant itself more access than you allowed it.

      Ultimately, I'm not saying this will hit every user - just that it's more likely to on that platform than others. And it's a tradeoff: Android is obviously more flexible than iOS - and a non-smartphone is way safer than an iPhone - it depends where you want to...

      ...strike the balance of freedom, security and usability (which don't have to be opposed... but typically are.)

      If an app on Android has a known exploit it's not likely to be used. These get removed before they become huge problems.

    The status posts that go after about a day or so. Seems pretty nifty, though they do point out at the end that their way of doing things isn't for everyone. I'm unsure if I'd be able to work with that kind of flat system, not overly strong in self-directed work, then again if there's something I enjoy doing and that company has projects that utilise that I'd settle in with that pretty quickly, it's only an issue if there's nothing to do that I truly enjoy. I wonder what you have to do to be fired from Valve.
  6. Aang was taught seismic sense. He was even shown using it in the battle against Ozai. As best I can tell it involves semi-earthbending while blind (at least for the training part)
  7. GTA IV. I'm replaying it..ish. So he's not having it until I've actually fully beaten it (I got as far as the last mission. Since then they added trophy support)
  8. As part of my brother getting a PS3 I dumped a bunch of games on him. ACII included. He told me this weekend he gave up on it, he disliked that at the start of the game the dude would just jump off the side of the building randomly. Can't blame him, I hate that issue too. Since it's somewhat similar (with the whole "open world climbing" thing) I've pointed him to try out InFamous. He does have my collection built up over several years, which is a fair chunk of games, so I guess his tolerance will be pretty low before moving on, so not gonna push him too hard even if I think the AC franchise is pretty nifty. Anyway I know he's really hankering after the game with big american titties, and I'm sure as hell gonna draw it out a fair while before I'm dumping that on him . (Also since my lapse of mental retardation subsided and I remembered I own Portal 2 on Steam I dumped Portal 2 on him this weekend. That I know he'll hate cos it requires thinking a bit)

    http://newcdn.flamehaus.com/Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf No one brought this up?
  10. Firelord Ozai was Mark Hamill too. They both have little things that give them away. Hamill slips into the joker everynow n then with Ozai, Simmons is a bit better, I'd say I've only noticed it's him cos what with it being Portal 2's anniversary I've being getting back into all that sorta stuff. Shame Twitter only has 140 characters.
  11. So someone edited the Uncharted games into a movie trilogy. To be fair it's more a kind of super long LP, I think it highlights the major disparity between the whole movie/game thing, especially with camera angles. It's rare for a film to be stuck just behind the main actors shoulder Still for those without a PS3 it's a good way to follow the game series I guess. (Damn Uncharted 1 doesn't look as pretty as it used to)

      I thought this was common knowledge. Then I realized I was the only one who played Guild Wars 1. :P

  12. So I finished Avatar. Pretty good. Though As for Korra p.s I asked this on twitter: Anyone know if the other two pro-benders are Zuko n Sokkas VAs? I checked IMDB and it does list Zuko VA as being in LOK, but with no listed role. So maybe he's back but as Zuko (I think that's elder Zuko at the start as "Fire")
  13. Just seen episode 19 All starts to fall into place.
  14. Like what I linked other page: http://steamcommunity.com/id/deanbmmv/screenshots/?tab=public&showdate=1&filter=shortcut_16060
  15. In the steam directory are a couple of .blob files. I'm unsure on the purpose, but if you delete them it tends to make Steam recreate them and in the process fix a fair chunk of errors Steam may be having.

      Nothing I am a part of nor something I am interested in but a very classy move by GOG's part. They could have just said "Them's the brakes" and moved on. Thumbs up, GOG!

      The Witcher? Wow. I guess GOG would have the ties to make such a deal, but that's pretty sweet for an indie game deal!

  16. Delete the blob, see what happens. Pretty much anything cocks up with Steam just delete this guy And all should be well.
  17. I'm pretty sure most games these days are using the full processing power of the consoles. There's still areas of optimisation that can be potentially utilised but you'd have to be a silly dev to have your game not use all the power available, especially when games are struggling to churn out reasonable FPS n resolutions.
  18. My sister saw Avengers last night (part of a cineworld comp). Here's her mini-review:
  19. M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender. About 5 minutes of it. Shame the chosen actors were pretty crap. At least Aang sorta looked like Aang. Unlike: Maybe I'm not paying enough attention to the cartoon but I'm pretty sure the fire nation is oriental, not middle-east.
  20. What you playing the game on Waldorf? By the timing it could be either editions, but you've shown no signs of playing it before unlike others so I assume 360? Not as much sexy time in Witcher 2 compared to 1, but I think by this point Geralt is pretty monogamous.
  21. At least this one gets the damn architecture right. 8-core would sound reasonable. Pretty decent jump up from the tri-core of the 360 without being too silly a jump. The reasoning, i.e "Kinect 2 could use whole cores" seems silly, since I'd reckon in a Kinect 2 they'll probably go back with the original plans and put the chip back inside the Kinect itself. Though maybe the Devkit is powered by that, if only to be more powerful than the base machine to let em run code better or something. I can't imagine devkit machines for PSP only had a 333mhz CPU.
