Wow. I went into school that day looking forward to a evening of music. I came out with a T-Shirt, wristband, water down my front where the singer had been chucking it on us and a fucked up ear due to being 10 foot from the stage. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. Southampton 23rd November. One of the best evenings of my life so far…

*EDIT* I swear that is me. And yes, I have an Afro and was wearing a wristband on the right wrist on that night.

Blueray is brilliant. Every hair on the protagonists head is crystal clear. Every death is visceral with the sound deep enough to make you feel you are there taking the damage. In short, get it. You will not be disappointed.

Down to the fiddlies now. My setup is … (PAINT TEIM!)

That was good wasn’t it! Long story short, there was a lot of money involved in this. But the quality is worth every penny. I won’t be on it all the time if you play 360 against me, just when I want to! It is awkward looking at a different part of the 42″ screen to see how much ammo is left in your gun…

We’re still here

Well, it’s been along time, but we are still here.

There are many images on the internet of exam answers that mainly include drawings of random characters, notably a TMNT and Batman, but my favourites are when the marker fight back, like this little gem I stole from Halolz.com, visible after the jump. (Heh, professional words are cool ^^)

Blog Revival. And, Windows 7

jamez911 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:18:03 +0000

Wow, First Blog post in ages for me, and first blog post in a month for everyone else. And i thought everyone was way more organized than me!

Anyway, onto the matter at hand, WINDOWS 7. I cannot tell you how much i love this operating system. This comes from a person who has used a OSX for a suitable amount of time, XP (how i learnt all i knew about computers), Ubuntu (Fun as hell to work with, and one of my favorites) and Vista(meh, its okay, not my favorite, but ok).

Windows 7, is most defiantly what Vista wanted to grow up to be, its like Vistas athlete super brainy brother. Yes, the task bar is still in the Vista style. Yes, Windows Aero is still here. But the Specs are now significantly lower, i.e any machine that struggles XP should take 7 and gobble it up in no time at all. Also, you can attain a whole four months of trial period out of your 7 distribution by using a rearm command:

(Any of these 4);

sysprep /generalize

slmgr.vbs –rearm

rundll32 slc.dll,SLReArmWindows

slmgr /rearm

Micro$oft know about these commands, and are completely happy with you using them. On a level of higher mischievousness, you can remove the activation altogether by using a simple tool called RemoveWAT (google it).

London.

Although Britain hate it and it is full of foreign tourists, it is still a good day out. I went to the Greenwich observatory. If you are anywheres near London, consider it and make sure you visit the presentation arena.

Just do it.

Death of another.

riphead911 — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 13:09:06 +0000

So, I decided to hack my 360 HDD (hard-drive to the uneducated) and found a working hack for my gamerpictures. When I DLed it to my old hard-drive, I decided that I could not be bothered to find out if it had worked. When I put in my current HDD (unhacked) I was dismayed to see the red light of death (bottom right) and the E73 error code on my screen. This is an ethernet port failure. I don’t use my ethernet port as I have wireless. I raged.

So it looks like I am going back to P.C for a bit. Or my brother’s 360. Whichever is avaliable!

Time for the website-site of the weeks!

I think it may be time to introduce you to a site I stumbled upon whilst browsing through the Firefox addons – Homestarrunner.com. A web cartoon, It has a ton of inside jokes and humour, and the kind of quirky humour. Give it a shot, and you may just find something you enjoy.

Sales aren’t just for christmas…

EpicPhill — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:46:59 +0000

EA is holding a sale (at the time of posting) wherein 10 games have been reduced to only a fiver. These are all electronic downloads, so you’ll need a decent internet connection to get them, but the range of games is amazing, including RA3 (which I reviewed here), CNC3, Mass Effect, Mirror’s Edge, Burnout Paradise and a few more, so I crumbled and bought CNC3, Mass Effect and Burnout, all of which I wouldn’t have bought if the sale wasn’t on, and love them all. Reviews may come soon.
So, go out, buy some cheap games, and have some fun.

Fifa 10…. The best Football game ever?

Fifa 10 has possible improved football gaming for life. Since they have introduced the new 360 degree movement. Football is now not just a sport its now truly part of the gaming community aswell.

And to show how good it is just look at the way shooting can be done.
