by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 27, 2004 7:12am PDTFriday, woot. I think I'll finally go and see Chronicles of Riddick this weekend. With Steam seemingly working pretty well these days (I've had few Steam problems with the CS:S beta, and pre-loading was pretty snappy last night too), I've decided to forgo buying Half-Life 2 at retail and just getting the game over Valve's content delivery system. Game box be damned. Let's hope you'll actually save a few bucks by getting it through Steam, though I doubt that will be the case. Also on FileShack
- Xpand Rally Multiplayer Demo - three tracks and two cars are available in this racing game demo.

- Falken's Light Mod v1.0 - another DOOM 3 mod.
- Church Of Ruins v1.1 - updated DOOM 3 map.
- Shad3DM1 - Damaged v1.1 - DM map for Quake 3.
- Mancer01 Reincarnated - custom DOOM 3 DM map.

So, they have multiple DIGITAL inputs, I can listen to movies in full DTS goodness from my PC, I can hear Metroid Prime from my GC like it should be heard, they are affordable and don't suck.
So, any reason I shouldn't get them? I feel like I should use all 8 chans of sound available to me from my motherboard but ... I just want a good all together sollution. Going with a good receiver will cost as much as this whole z680 set.
And remember, I know my way around the womenz.

Saw this Circuit City coupon on Fatwallet. 10 bucks off PC games over $9.99. Just print it and go, the deal expires 9/30.

I'm pissed at you. My son snuck a PULP FICTION DVD into my home a year ago. He was 13. He was a Christian boy, very nice with good friends. He didn't know the meaning of the word "fuck." Now, a year later after watching the movie, he's addicted to booze, crack, pot, cigarettes, quit Church, became an atheist, swears all day at his brothers, sisters and me. He stabbed his father with a knife, legally changed his name to "Vincent Vega" after holding his father at gunpoint and demanding it be done; then he opened up a brothel in the backyard and started having sex with women with black hair like the evil vixen in your movie. You are an evil man and responsible for the downfall of my son. I hope you rot in hell.

Geeeez-us fucking Christ, I get this shit all the time. Typical irresponsible parent bullshit, blah blah blah, here's an idea: Control your child from now on. And c'mon he opened a fucking brothel? Someone's doing a bit of exaggerating here. I'm sick of bullshit where parents blame the videogames, then admit they let their kids play them 12 fucking hours a day. Get a grip and pay for your own faults -- stop blaming filmmakers.

Capcom is really, REALLY ruining it. If you've played Mega Man X7 you'll know what I'm talking about. The series peaked with Mega Man X, in my opinion.. then it all went downhill from there.
Capcom also insist on making Mega Man that.. don't focus on Mega Man at all, but rather that Zero character and all the other bullshit spin-offs. I miss the old days :( Thank god for the Anniversary Collection!
But seriously.. if they'd make a 2D one, with fantastic sprite artwork and an engaging storyline (with paid voice actors, not the QA deptartment doing the samples) it'd be awesome.

Yeah Tim Allen is in it, but he does a great job and (as most people overlook) he's being backed up by Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, and Sam Rockwell (which at the time was his biggest role since "Thug Leader #2" or whatever in the first Ninja Turtles movie. But I digress).
Tons of great lines, excellent job at spoofing Trekkies and their ilk, good cg for the time. If you haven't seen the flick yet I highly, highly recommend it.

Alright, tonight is very frustrating. I throw myself at the mercy of teh Shack for its infinite wisdom and guidance. Lessons already learned today: 1. Keep a Windows boot disc on hand at all times and 2. Keep more than one administrator account as a backdoor.
Now, let's move on to Malware. Adaware and HiJackThis cannot remove this fucking little popup spyware/maleware program. I tried deleting the folder, but it is in use by something else entirely. The folder is located at c:/program files/TV Media
Now, prime suspect is this. http://www.geocities.com/theo20185/taskmanager.jpg
dlusuc.exe? WTF is that? Another is one that is not shown in the Jpg, WSup.exe
Take a look at the HiJackThis scanlog: http://www.geocities.com/theo20185/scanlog.jpg
What can I do to get this shit off my machine? Anything else I should try?
