Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jan 14, 2008 6:31pm PSTSo now there is a Roomba staring at me from the next room. I feel like I have descended
to the deepest levels of nerddom. I may as well just go buy a bunch of action figures for
my desk and start manga arguments on the internet. Oh and I imagine I should start buying
decals for my Roomba and give it a name. Sigh. I need something sharp.

Lastly, after squishing my foot a few months back I basically havent been working out
or eating healthy at all as I've used my crutches as a crutch (HOHOHO) for a reason to be
a bum. Well the foot still isnt healed but I made the choice to start working out again.
It sucks. You know that good feeling you get from working out? Yeah it sure doesnt just
come right back when you take time off. I feel like crap and I can just see my Roomba
staring at me... judging me.
I worry actually where it's going only because I realize how easy it is for me to spend the money for a game on there considering I don't have to think about going to a store. :(

One of the buggiest Games ever put out, here recently. I would not suggest buying it for the pc at all. The support is just terrible. It willnot work right with Xp or vista, For example the game crashes on Vista, i follwed there instructions on how to report an issue and with a reply of what they needed or to that extent. There some back for vista was, my video card needed the latest video card driver update, so i did that, Still the game crashes, i even used the beta drivers for it also. Still does not work. Also in the game the coop mode does not work, it states you need an x box 360 controller to use or play, which ever for that part of the game, Fine i go out and buy two controllers, which as it specified. Still the game does not work with the X box 360 controllers. They will not let me know if they are going to address this issue or not. Same goes with playing the game with windows Xp. The controllers do not work, how ever the game does play to some extent, but is very choppy and slow. My pc that is running Xp meets and exceeds there specs.
So now i am out of over $100.00 worth of games and game controllers, and all i get are excuses.
Pittyfull support and a down right crappy game for The Windows pc version. Do not waste your money on this game at all. Other wise you will be out of more money by sending it back to them and the wait time to get it back if it does not get lost, after it reaches them, and or out of warranty at your local store you purcahsed it from. I made a mistake by buying this game and by buying it from walmart. For walmart is terrible about takign any games back, let alone electronics related merchandise period. They want me to spend more money and time by aquireing an RMA and then habing to insure both copies and sending it to them.. Then i hope Walmart will take it back if i even decide to send it back edios... What a screwing i got on this game. I imagine i am not the only one to have had this issue or similar ones with this game...
Do not buy this game..
Over all just sucks, support and everythign else that goes along with it. Vista just sucks to, so i am having to go purchase windows Xp, once i get it i am removing vista and will not use it for a year if i decide to use it ever again..
be warned about thisgame and what i mentioned above, please excuse my penmenship for i suck when it comes to grammer and typing, but neither less my point did get oout and across i hope. Anyone else who has had a similar issue or has a suggestion related to this post, please feel free to contact me. But you will not be able to contact me through my shack mail, for it does not work either for some reason, which reminds me, has anyone been ever able touse any of the perks that come along with having a paid membership with them also??
Sincerely

So i did my first Level 4 mission last night. Finally a challenge! Nearly lost the Dominix to a huge swarm of Battleships, Battlecruisers, Cruisers and Frigs but finally managed to come out victorious. I will have to redo my fitting a bit for this shit. I need to take down those BS's before they reach me and open a can of whoopass.
So:
- The tractors and salvagers have to make place for at least two Drone Link Augmentors = 85km drone range. Downside: heavies will take ages to get there :(
- True Sansha reppers... o wait those are so fucking expensive i'm better off training 5 days for T2's.
Also: discovered contract searching last night. All i can say is: wow. It's a huge side market filled with cool named items. Really had to restrain myself from buying all kinds of faction stuff. WTB WTB WTB WTB.

Having picked up Stalker the day it was released I am only now finishing it (WoW was a bit of a distraction). In the last couple days I've done X16 onward and am now arriving at Chernobyl (this shouldn't really be a spoiler for anyone). I enjoyed this game from the start but I think it is only now that I've come to understand it. Yes, the quests are quite un-rewarding and there is so much time spent in the upfront of the game before one gets to the "meaty" weapons, armour, etc., but for me at least, this is one of the most fun games I've played where you can just explore. I've spent hours just checking out parts of the Garbage. Pripyat is an amazingly detailed, huge and fun place to explore. While there are parts of the game that seem not quite finished, what is there is pretty amazing.

Its actually a tough choice to make, I've really, really, really enjoyed watching them, I think out of it all Planet Earth is the hardest to part with. I'm sure I'm not the only one pissed about the format wars though.

Can't get into TF2. 310 to Yuma was weak. Sunshine was good but the last 30 was crap. Terminator show was crap.

Netflix, which first launched an online streaming service one year ago as a complement to its established business of delivering DVDs through the mail, had previously tied the amount of streaming that subscribers could enjoy to the level of their subscription plan -- $1 in subscription fees earned one hour of streaming. For example, subscribers on the $16.99-per-month plan, which provides unlimited DVD rental with three discs out at a time, could watch 17 hours per month of movies and TV episodes on their PCs.
Now, all Netflix subscribers on unlimited rental plans, which start at $8.99 per month, will be able to stream as many of the 6,000 movies and TV episodes in the Netflix library as they want. Subscribers on a “capped†plan, paying $4.99 for one DVD out at time and limited to two DVDs a month, will be able to watch two hours of streaming content each month at no extra charge.
"Unlimited has always been a very powerful selling point with our subscribers and a large part of what set us apart in the marketplace," Netflix chief marketing officer Leslie Kilgore said in a statement. "In talking with members about our streaming feature during the past year, it became clear that, as with DVDs, the idea of streaming unlimited movies and TV episodes on a PC resonated quite strongly. And we're now in a good position to offer that."
The Netflix announcement came on the eve of Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ keynote at the Macworld conference in San Francisco, where Apple is expected to formally announce a movie-rental service through its iTunes Music Store. Last month, Apple reportedly reached a deal with News Corp. to rent movies from its Fox studio through iTunes.
