Really, why am I? I have no idea… Well, this is long overdue, so here we go.
Xbox LIVE 3 : Corruption - That pun is fucking awful…About a month back, I had a serious problem with my Xbox Live account. Whenever I tried to sign in, It would inform me that my LIVE account was not valid. I rang the support centre, but they were fucking useless. They just said that my LIVE account and email address had become corrupted, and that I would have to make a new WindowsLive account, so thats what I did :Email : sobermilk@hotmail.co.ukXbox LIVE : SoberJamFrom now on, I will no longer go by the name "Mr Shrub". I shall now be known as SoberMilk for some reason. I just requested a name change, but you can still call me Shrubie if you want.Holidays ^_^I've been off school for 3 weeks now. Half way through the summer holidays already! Because the price of vacationing DOUBLES in holiday season, my family and I took time off before I broke up from school. We went to Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, for 2 weeks. We really enjoyed it. I managed to get myself a iPod Nano (3rd Gen, 4Gig) while I was away. It was 110 Euros, which I beleive is about £85 - quite a bargain considering it would have cost me £120 or more here in the UK!The Dreaded RRODI had a nasty surprise when I returned from my holidays. I tried to turn on my Xbox 360 and…
Yup, I finaly witnessed the dreaded RROD! After owning my core model 360 for 3 years, I finally say the bastard. I didn't mind as much as I would have though, as I went out the next day and bought a PSP Slim n' Lite, Crisis Core and Super Smash Bros Brawl. That kept me well entertained until my Xbox came back from the repair centre in Germany. I was kinda annoyed however, as enabling homebrew on a PSP isn't as easy as I thought… I must buy a Pandora Battery! Oh yeah… Ninja Gaiden is awsome! ^_^E3 StuffI found E3 very intersting this year. I'll just get this out of the way now, Sonic Unleashed looks freakin' awsome. The last Sonic game on the 360 was the worst pile of shit I have ever seen, so when I saw this trailer, I was blown away! :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmkZpXZ0G8AAnd an interview/demo, showing off gameplay :Part 1 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7YJTvuQ2ToPart 2 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAVnlUJ7PZU&feature=relatedPart 3 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXEZQFS0Kzw&feature=relatedSonic Unleashed, Sonic Chronicles, Resident Evil 5, The Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, Dead Space, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Star Oceon 4… All look excellent! But the new Xbox 360 dashboard and avatar system is a total rip-off of the Wii's Mii System. Shame on you Microsoft, You unoriginal bitches! >_>Computer ShizzleI just realized my computer is shit in the graphics card department. I realized this when I downloaded Steam and The Orange Box, then tried to play it, then failed due to epic lagging. So, I plan on buying this :http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145524But to get that to work, I need a better PSU :http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129422But for that to fit, I need a bigger and better case :http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134799Quite a long way to go for a better graphics card, eh? I hope its worth it…Not much at all has happened on the Game Making side of things. I have made a little progress in my Mario game, added saving and made the game flow a little better. Thats It.Well, Thats all the intersting stuff thats happened over the past few months. Depressing isn't it? I'll leave you with this :http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Electro+Gypsy/HERE HE IS THE ELECTRO GYPSY!!!Yeah… Byes!
I just bought my new PC for ebuyer, very nice. But I lack an internet connection great enough to download from steam (I'm talking a 33mb file and a 300mb torrent taking 6+ hours to download together, neither reaching >20kbps)
Hey, man. I could comment on you're blog and stuff but I doubt we are yet to discuss any of it in great detail. :P
I'll suffice to say that I'll come in for you tomorrow, I'm actually only going to the HT party at like 6pm because Mr J-man is working. Also, what the fuzzle? You blogged!? Also, Plz accept ma name change this one is killing me!I am very sorry Flashback, I wont abreviate your name again. Please forgive me! I'll do anything! ANYTHING!!!
@ GHG : I know hat you mean. I used to have a shit internet conection and downloading HL2 : Ep 1 took 8 hours…@VigPsyPika4353!? : Yup, I blogged. Also, Ha-Ha, great name change.Good choice, that's the best video card for your money you can get these times.
I decided to get that one because sumo bought the HD3870, and said it ran Source game excellently. However, my res is reasonably higher than his, so I decided to get a slightly better one.
That PSU isn't the best choice. It looks nice and the price is good, but it isn't likely to have a good power distribution quality. Just remember, wattage isn't everything. I saw someone with a 380w PSU with SLI'd 9600GTs, and there was no problem whatsoever. He just spent an extra bit making sure his power supply was good quality.
Use techreport.com to find the best bang for buck.As for video cards… 4850 is great, I have nothing against it, but keep in mind that even my old x700se ran all source games @ full graphics with little lag… and my 8600GTS can run it all with the 16XQSAA antialiasing with no lag too.I remember when I got a new graphics card and my power supply wasn't poweful enough for it. I found an old computer in my garage, disconnected everything in it from the power supply, put it next to my computer, and connected my graphics card to its power supply. It didn't look wonderfully neat, but it worked until I got a new power supply.
VENGEANCE WILL BE TAKEN.
WITH SQUID.Amen.
