Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Demon's Souls servers extended again
First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 20, 2005 1:00pm PSTFollowing the Perfect Dark Zero ad on a Coke can, I finally saw an Xbox 360 ad on TV..sorta. Citroen is a French car maker, and they sell a decent amount of cars here so they regularly have TV ads. One campaign for the past two years or so has some salesman taking pretty much every opportunity to tell people about the extras and cash back options for their cars. In this new one, he stops a group of children to tell them about the latest cashback opportunities when a girl asks "Is that enough for an Xbox 360?". After another ad, there is a sort of followup with the girl calling her dad going through a list of details, ending by saying "you can save up to like ten Xbox's worth". Pretty odd. As for other ads, what is up with the ads for Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. I dislike ads that mostly use cinematics but can kind of understand it as long as they show some in-game footage, but for these two games, both ads use a first person view that makes it seem like the game really looks that way. Seems pretty shady. Movie: He isn't dead, and do you know why? Because I haven't killed him yet.
HOLY CRAP YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!:

360 talk again.
I've got $447 bucks total. The core system is $399 with tax that's gonna be REALLY CLOSE. I won't have enough to buy a game, and I'll have to work tomorrow from 6-4 then sit at wal-mart from 4-12, come right home and hit the sack for the next day of 6-4. That sucks any way you look at it. I get paid Saturday, which would give me more money for games, but it's gonna suck looking at the demo's over and over again.
I wonder if there will be units available between now and Christmas. This could be very sad for me.....

What's a good wave editor for mac/windows? I remember trying Wavelab and some other stuff back in the day. I'm not a fan of Audacity. Anyone used Adobe Audition or any of Sony's stuff?
Any recommendations appreciated yo'

Who will deal first blow! Will Varenus? Will there be an aftermath or will the season end right with the deed?
Caesar hasn't been able to punish Varenus and Pullo yet, and I doubt he can now with them being heroes of the arena...
OMG OMG OMG

I'm sick of CA's eTrust opening up a new IE window telling me to renew my license. There's no way to shut this shit off.
So what's decent out there with a low memory footprint & doesn't drag down the bootup process at all? ZoneAlarm Suite? PC-cillin Internet Security? NOD32?

I dunno what it is about that game... but it's so goddamn addicting. Lately I've been playing as Ogre Mage. Nothing quite beats a nice 5x cast of Fireblast Multi-cast to stun them and damage for like 1500 hit points... ahh, I love it.
It's such a bitch early on though. Get trounced by ranged heroes left and right.

My father has been a bit curious for a gaming rig. He doesn't know what to get though. He is looking at a PC, Xbox, ps2, or gamecube. The big problem that I have is trying to figure out a game that is simple enough for him. The man has very little patience and just doens't have the reflexes that his sons have. He gets a bit confused with all the action that goes on in games and tries to learn them but he gets frustrated. I would like to have him get the revolution but that is a aways off. So what are some fun and simple games that he would probably like.
I was sort of thinking along the lines of GTA3+Burnout and xbox.

I have 2 pcs right next to each other. Randomly one pc will have issues connecting to any website, but still be connected to IRC. Unplugging then plugging back in my Hub they are both connected to fixes it. Does this mean it's dying?

Now, I don't watch these programs, but I do catch them while flipping between channels trying to find something to watch on a weeknight, and every once in a while I will catch about 15 or 20 minutes of either one. I swear to god, these programs are the most awful formulaic shit ever - just about every time I catch them doing the same old shit, you know, the main character (or one of them) has gotten extremely attached to a patient who is dying on the operating table and they've like, torn open his ribcage and are shocking his heart directly with those little paddles, even though it's all obviously futile, and he/she is scream "Fight damn it! Fight! You can't give up now!" and another doctor is all like "You've lost him, call it!" and then whoever it is finally gives up and says "...time of death, 8:44 pm" and walk out of the room all pissed and it's all ery very quiet because it is a serious and emotional moment. I mean, damn, how many such scenes have they shot of that kind since ER was on the air?
Now, this is why I like House M.D. House is awesome because he first of all is not a bland, boring character, and my god is that refreshing to see in your standard 1hr TV show, and what's more, there's none of that sort of silly melodrama like the scene I described above. House M.D. is awesome and everyone should watch it.

So, you HAVE to have WEP enabled to use the wifi? I live like, WAY out, where I don't really worry about people stealing my access, so I always have it open. But I get the error code, that tells me that:
//{{The WEP key for the Access Point you are attempting to connect to has changed since you last connected.}}/
soo ... huh?

I have the morrowind FPS optimizer program, but as far as I know the most useful thing it does is adjust view distance to maintain framerate. I don't use that because view distance is my one weakness. I want to be able to see far. It lets me adjust view distance on the fly with my mousewheel and at max distance (2-3x the normal max for the game) I get like 6 fps. Even at the game's normal 100% distance I get like 15, and at no view distance it's like 30.
I only have an old t-bird athlon 1.4GHz and a gig of non-DDR ram (+6600GT AGP) But I just had a great time playing through stuff like Painkiller and Serious Sam 2 on here. (SS2 specifically looking gorgeous and able to run 60+ fps in some levels with no enemies around with AA and 16xAF on)
