The LEDs are projected to last at least 25 times as long as the incandescent bulbs, at five times the efficiency.

If Principles of Energy Conversion have taught me anything it's that this statement is most likely completely bullshit.

Being a fan of the evil dead movies, i got that game Evil dead regeneration, (finally) and was wondering if it's any good. Any shackers played it? I heard it kinda expands the evil dead story, if there is one.

Hey, lplasmatron: I know you don't do UI or inventory stuff, but can you make sure you tell the Fallout 3 guys to make sure the inventory can be managed very efficiently, and that we can customize how we want the inventory to be managed?

This is very important.

If you do ordered lists, maybe a good idea would be the ability to create a custom list, or the ability to, uh...partition your inventory into different sections according to what we want.

I mean...I liked the arrangement of Oblivion's inventory, actually, but I'd like to be able to create my own partition, too. Maybe right-click, send to a partition. And when you sell stuff, you can just sell everything in a "saleable junk" partition, or something.

I dunno.

I really want a good inventory system to arrange stuff really nicely really easily because I am OCD.

I'm watching Blade Runner for the first time. I can see why some people hate it, the pacing is really slow. I'm forcing myself to watch it despite that just cause it's Harrison Ford. It's all right so far. I'm getting up to take a piss but he just killed the first replicant he was hunting for through those glass windows. If it keeps up like this it'll be average. I just watched No Country For Old Men and The Seventh Seal tonight. Unless this can offer as much edge of your seat suspense or in depth philosophy of those movies I'll have to say it's MEH but good.

Saints be praised. IE8 will default to standards mode + quirks. About fucken time, Opera (and Firefox?) has done this for years. Quirks mode means that they basically "fix" any site that is bugged because it doesn't comply with standards.

Fable 2 Co-op preview
I don't know if it's hugely old news - but it was new to me.

http://media.video.ign.com/ev/sv.html?dlURL=xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/853/853487/fable2demo_flvlowwide.flv&object_ID=741361

I only hired the original Fable for the Xbox to see if it was worth buying - but unfortunately didn't even play it for the full 3 day period I had it. It seemed really top notch production wise - but I just felt a bit isolated playing it and got bored. A bit like playing Crackdown single player.

A sequel to Fable with XBL co-op would be crazy good though. Much like Crackdown co-op. But RPG.

The way they show how you can share who gets the split of loot - and the ability to just pick up and jump in looks like it could really suck you into it for some long-ass play sessions with your mates.

All of this current focus on co-op absolutely rules. I've never had as much fun gaming, or spent as much time in one play session as I have with a decent co-op title. For my money I reckon the best co-op title I've played is Mortal Kombat : Shaolin Monks - well worth picking up in the bargain bin. Havok physics engine + decent fighting controls + co-op + lots of secrets and unlockables + juggling + fatalities = win (throwing enemies air to air and catching them for dual combos is so god damned satisfying)

I gave my folks my Xbox and Xbox360 because I'm going overseas. But I'm still selling them on why the Xbox is handy and why they should be enthusiastic about it. Mostly by showing how with Xbox Media Centre installed - it can be something they can use every day with a remote control. I hit up apple trailers to show my old man you could even watch movie trailers from the interwebs on it right from your recliner - in decent quality.

I randomly picked Get Smart from the list - and god damnit - it was funny.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/getsmart/hd/

That trailer sell anyone else on the film?

(I had told them the 360 would be useful because it could replace their regular DVD player and be an HD-DVD player too. Yeah... good call on that)

So you know the digg effect? Where a site hits digg hard and then traffic just goes insane? If you're in the top 10 of digg for a day you can pretty much say bye to your web cluster... that sort of traffic. That is apparently the number one surge-traffic driver on the internet. And it isn't just digg, because what happens is that tons of blogs link to you that same day from having seen you on digg, so it is this huge traffic complement as well.

Or, so I thought.

Check this crazyness out! We (speedtest.net) got linked somehow from freaking OPRAH. Single biggest traffic day on the site by a land slide.

Oprah beats digg, and not just by a little... it is like an entire second internet came out of nowhere.
