Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, Jul 07, 2009 6:00pm PDTI have little hope of a new MechWarrior game being worthy, but that little hope is enough to have me anticipating more news of Piranha's game. I didn't play Revenge of the Fallen, but the secondhand stuff I've heard hasn't inspired me. In any case, at least it'll likely inspire me to reinstall past robot games.
A game like this reminds me of how precarious franchise transitions can feel. As much as I want to play a FreeSpace 3, the thought of someone screwing it up almost outweighs my desire. Fallout 3 was really a miracle of design in that respect.
Anyway, news!
- Duke Nukem 3D coming to iPhone soon
- New MechWarrior game teased

- Fight Night Round 4 getting button control update

CD completes burning in Nero.
CD ejects
Box pops up saying "complete"
Remove the CD, put a new blank in for something else, close door.
Click ok on the complete box, it sends the eject command a second time.
Been like this for years, ugh

So I moved my cable modem and router out into my living room so that I could use wired internet on the PS3 because it was being a bitch on wireless! The wireless blows so, so bad. So now I'm using PSM to stream video from my MBP onto the PS3, and now that the PS3 is wired I'm getting an error, 80710736. I didn't get this when everything was wireless! Doesn't matter if the MBP is wired or not.
The internet doesn't have much to offer on this, it appears to be a disconnect error where the PS3 is asking for more buffer than my wireless MBP can throw at it, but I've also read it's a firmware compatibility thing with the software I'm using as a media center. In any case, I can't find a solution. I toggled UPnP and that didn't help. =(
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Everything is streaming fine still, but there's this annoying little pop up window in the corner that's killing me.
Killing me.

I'm finally watching Anguish ('bout 1/2 hour or so in) and this really IS the most super awesome, fucked up creepy movie I've seen in a long time. Kind of glad I never saw this in a theater :O

"Hot on the heels of OverEasy, an all-day breakfast diner and bar at One Fullerton which the company opened in January, comes their next venture – The Shack, at Sentosa’s Tanjong Beach. It takes over the spot vacated by popular beach bar KM8 after the latter’s lease expired.
The Shack will pay homage to Robinson Crusoe by taking the form of a beach hideout fashioned out of recycled materials."

I used to play Magic a lot when I was in middle school. I had a huge collection of cards, a giant box full of them. Out of sheer dumb curiosity I've been looking up Alpha set magic cards. Holy shit, not only did I have a bunch of these but my fucking card collection was worth thousands of dollars. God damn was I a dumbass for getting rid of them for cheap and just throwing them out. I knew Black Lotus was worth a lot but some of these other cards are worth a hundred a piece.

My friend is currently in Hong Kong and can get some gadgets cheap. If, for example, he buys me an Apple Macbook Pro and flies it back to Australia with him, is there any form of import tax that will be incurred on entering the country?

We've got Brother Mouzone back in the picture and hunting Omar, we've got Stringer calling the cops against Avon, we had Prez fuck up royally, the cover on Hamsterdam is blown, and the war with Marlo raging with losses on both sides.
It's been a great season. The only character I'm not even remotely fond of is the sleazy politician character but I reckon that's more influenced by the actor then his character, I just don't like his face.
Anyway, will watch final two episodes tonight.
