by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 24, 2006 1:59pm PDTFinally managed to get my hands on Dead Rising on Friday, and played it a couple of hours on Friday and Saturday. I'm up to the fourth case, though with minimal zombie killing and totally ignoring survivors. I just don't feel safe getting too far away from where the missions are happening. I also threw my controller to the ground yesterday after getting insanely close to killing a psychopath, only to die..which had already happened several times before. But little frustration aside from that moment, and generally fun. Also on FileShack

OBLIVION MENZ, particularly those using Obscruo's Oblivion Overhaul.
I'm really having a hard time starting this shit up. It works beautifully but I'm not sure I'm really digging the non-"everything is at your level, no matter what level."
I just restarted at level one, and am just trying to deliver the Talisman to Jeoffrey and I was ass-raped by two bandits on the road, so after three tries to defeat them with my level 1 sword skills, I'm like "OKAY NOOB JUST GO AROUND!" Then I run into another ass raping at the hands of a conjuration mage with a big ass demon as his bitch.
WTF? Is it really this difficult with all the level scaling off? I'm just starting out? How did this guy expect anyone to make it through this shit.

Hard games are fun. But there's a point at which the difficulty level completely erases any vestiges of fun. It's sad when a really good game has something like this in it. For instance, in GoW, I got very frustrated last night when I was climbing out of Hades and found myself having to scale a series of revolving metal drums covered with blades. I had to weave between the blades on my way up. This could have been a good challenge, but as soon as I came within two feet of the blades, Kratos would fly off the tower and fall a hundred feet back down the ground and I'd have to start all over. On most occasions he'd hit two or three other blades on the way down. On at least two occasions, the blades would push him through the surface of the level itself and I'd tumble into oblivion. :(
Luckily, I stuck with it, and about half an hour later made it up. Only to discover there was another tower! Another half hour and lots of swearing later... ugh!
Ok, enough ranting. I'm up to the part now where I open Pandora's box and get big (lol!) and fight Aries. I managed to get to the part where I have to save Kratos' family from the krazy Kratos klones, but that didn't go so well.
The game is shaping up to be pretty good. I like the way the story was revealed in bits and pieces.

I do not have the 3 red rings of death (or whatever) but I do get lockups very frequently. It's really, really weird as it happens near the same spot in different games.
Not spoilered as they are very, very basic plot points that you can find within 30 minutes.
Example: Ninety-nine nights. Happens right around the same area after clearing a strip of land and after I kill some *innocents*.
Lego Star Wars 2. Right after I get C3PO and R2D2.
So I have the intercooler deal and it helped some but obviously not completely. What can I do?
I have the warranty but I have no idea if tech support will replace my unit since the HD hasn't died or anything, has anyone else had this problem and gotten it fixed?
Also, will they let me keep my HD if I do get a new one? I'm honestly considering going the Wal-mart route and buying a new one and switching them out, then returning them and telling them it's broken.

I had fun for about two maps then the Teamspeak server, Shackenews.com and bf1942.shackbattles.com all went to shit and they were the only sites I couldn't connect to. :(
Hopefully we'll do it again soon because I was having fun.

For some reason, for the last several hours, nearly everything Explorer-related on my computer causes the machine to hang for several minutes or completely freeze up. This includes just browsing My Computer or a particular folder, trying to get to my DVD drive, accessing any folder browser in any application, writing files, etc. This is making it very difficult to actually get anything done. I ran a virus scan and nothing came up. I have no idea why this started without any particular action on my part. It suddenly started happening in the middle of using the PC perfectly normally. Anyone have any suggestions?

Paramount's "Jackass Number Two" debuted with $28.1 million, with Focus Features' "Jet Li's Fearless," featuring the martial-arts master in a saga set in China a century ago, opening in second place with $10.6 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Haha. To all the haters out there, obviously its just differnt strokes for different folks. I know that I was very amused.

Hello, i am looking for a new LCD display that would serve as a dual purpose monitor.. For PC work and XBOX 360 gaming (and of cource PC gaming). I was looking at some of DELLs offerings and not to sure. They seem to have low contrast ratios and did not read too many outstanding reviews from users. I would like something that can have a fairly high resolution and something that doesn't wash out the colors from the XBOX360 which is what I have read from people using some monitors for XBOX displays.
Lets keep the budget around $2000 if possible and size can be over 24".
Thanks

Yes I know Company of Heroes is good but Blizzard are making a new RTS.
It's not often I can get excited about a game before it even comes out or we know what it is - but I think I'm becoming one of those Blizzard fanboys, I mean they very very rarely miss the mark.

That was terrible. Horrible character development led to me not caring at all about the storyline. Half way through the movie it felt like a chore to watch the rest.

So much of this movie brings tears to my eyes, from Ellen Burstyn's monologue to the pre-disaster scenes between Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly. And I'm only half-way through.
