  1. Noting official at the moment. Mainly a case of hunting down builds people have made and if your laptop is compatible. Mine isn't on the list but it's older sibling is. I'm not gonna bother till it's as easy peasy as Ubuntu, which I hear they scrapped Netbook Remix, so none of that either.
  2. Fucking "Culture Smash". One day they'll name it the right name: Bashcrafts Trash. It's all it is. It's not a look at any other culture except what Bash can see out his window or on TV. It never really leaves Japan.
  3. It's not the most visually stunning game, but has some nice gameplay to it, none of that has aged (or maybe none of it has advanced...) Could treat it as a kind of demo for what to expect from Human Revolution, just prettier and faster. Running about as high as it'll go.
  4. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/26/david-o-russell-quits-uncharted-movie I guess this can go here. With a bit of a whoop.
  5. the NPC's sound annoying as hell.
  6. So I'm installing Alpha Centauri and it's like "register with EA. You could win hats, t-shirts and other cool prizes". When the fuck did they stop using that as anti-piracy method?

  7. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/05/26/street-fighter-4-arcade-edition-drm/ Where does this come on the scale of "Why Would they Do That?" to "Well at least it didn't require a tracking chip too"
  8. "too basic" tbh with the way norton acts I wouldn't want it getting anymore complex. It may have improved over the years but past experiences put me far away. Also most of the decent stuff is free.

    Windows 8

    Also means you skipped on Vista. You can skip Win 8 too. Windows OS are not pokemon, don't need them all. Unless you intend to run an ARM Pc I don't think Win 8 will include too much, and some of it's additions I foresee as being added in a SP for Win 7.
  10. So guess what..... Mozilla seem to like Chromes new URL-barless UI too.. Surprise!!! http://mozillalabs.com/conceptseries/2011/05/24/community-concepts-ubiquitous-firefox-part-1-how-do-you-design-a-debris-less-browser/
  11. No longer tied to the tyranny of my sister in order to have PC usage at home. It's pretty nice, one of the longer battery lives on netbooks (10hrs). It's not made to run games, but won't say I'm gonna test it's limits. Hopefully be able to use it for some PXOD field work at EG too. It runs Windows Starter, which most annoyingly won't let you access the "personalize" part :/ Gonna see about sticking ChromeOS on it, both for hopefully stretching the battery and cos it'll be all I need most of the time. Other than that it's pretty sweet. It looks pretty sweet compared to others and I got staff discount on it through Toms GF. Gonna have to spend tonight just stripping out the shit like Norton.

    Rockys post: http://www.pressxordie.com/2011/05/25/the-paradox-of-gaming-technology/ Also I think I've kinda figured out CSS a bit so gonna tweak a little bit of the site. If I'm feeling brave maybe get rid of the Search bar to replace with a Widget on the side.
  13. Who are you on Reddit? And the post was mine, the image was not. It was Mr Shibbs. He showed it, I thought it amusing enough to share on.

    TAY Podcast

    Well unless you have pure chemistry and can just fire off each other for a good hour or so I'd say a strictly structured show is the way to go.They did get halfway and go "oh, ran out of things to discuss". Not a good idea. Anyway music: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066351/Random%20Files/Playing_with_Filters-Mike_Vekris.mp3 (You can cut it, I'd suggest 00:20 to 00:35.)(p.s it's royalty free and free)http://www.freesoundtrackmusic.com/ - here's more. Some decent stuff, though most is a bit long as it's made with backing tracks in mind. If you're wanting a recurring topic a "games out this week" kind of thing would be good, various thoughts n such on the upcoming games. How long are you wanting this main topic to span out for though, you'd need folks well versed in it if you want to discuss for more than 10 minutes. I'm not trying to slam you guys, far from it, just highlight a few areas that could do with a bit of TLC. And when I say "was quiet" I mean as in low mic volume, not so much that they never spoke.
  15. This isn't a fan project or dodgy port a la the iPhone thing. This is what Mojang are working on in-house.
  16. Actually it's a case of some of them should learn how their gallery system works. Most of them are able to put it on the same page, but some, especially Luke, made a habit of it being on a separate /gallery/ page to the article. Which meant separate comments, but I image more page hits for him. @Thursday: It's a pre-requisite of most game journos to completely forget anything they covered more than a week ago. CVG are particularly bad for this covering 'news' they posted only a few months before.
  17. Did your copy not come with a manual? Witcher 2 is kinda like STALKER in that it suddenly reminds you how much your hand gets held in recent games. (STALKER doesn't auto-save). It does pop-up all the attacks n shit, though leaves you to figure the quick-wheel thing. But if you've read the manual like days of old it falls into place.

    Windows 8

    So soon after Win 7? It's not due til 2012. Windows 7 was 09. It's a decent enough gap.

    Windows 8

    wait...that "8" seems to be peeling... "Windows 7 launch next year will be first real push into PC gaming," says Microsoft. Wait a minute that 7 is painted on... "Windows Vista launch next year will be first real push into PC gaming," says Microsoft.

    Okay this is an issue that may effect some but not others. If you open up GDocs and see either: a ) fuck all b ) only a handful of documents, or only 1 or 2 'categories' Then hit the "search" button with the field blank, if that does nothing then hit me up.
  21. There was a JRPG-of-sorts under the LOTR license. The Third Age. It was pretty fun...at least I remember it being pretty fun. You played as a group who were following on up after the main fellowship. Also you gained new weapons n shit, at least the realyl good stuff, but playing as the bosses and kicking your teams ass. Ending was weird though.

    Press X or Die

    So after just kinda discussing it with P4warrior n realising he may not be the only one: Feel free to get cracking, write stuff etc. You don't need to wait on my say so
  23. Its seems more like an RPG where instead of fighting off dragons or space aliens, you race cars instead. Id be interested. Especially if there was some correlation between the off-the-track parts of the game with the racing part.
