What you people have to realise is that I don’t care about your PC related drama, or the fact your internet isn’t working “like it used to”. The age old excuse of “I didn’t do anything, I turned it on and it was like that” doesn’t fly with me. Fuck your computer, and fuck you. I’m over it.

That is of course unless your name is Jessy, you see what’s her’s is mine etc. so under federal law I have to fix it. But saying that she’s the one that has the least amount of problems with her/my laptop.

i'm feeling:

On the plus side Jessy managed to procure a Tamagotchi Color from Japan for me. These things are rarer than michael jackson merchandise at the moment and expensive to boot. But it’s a matter of tradition, see I’m a bit tama collecter from wat back. My collection spans hundreds of egg shaped minions. Soon the worl will feel there wrath!

But yes, color = cool that’s for sure. They are also back lit which makes them easy to fiddle with in the dark.

Long live Tamagotchi!

i'm feeling:

I’m pretty sure that everytime I cough (which is a hell of a lot lately) a buch of this shit is spewing out of me. Fuck me!

i'm feeling:

Well it’s official. I’m one of those iPhone nerds that stayed up for the launch of the 3.0 OS… but I did kind of cheat a bit. I took a guess on when it would come out and then set my alarm for 4am local time. Luckily enough I’m not as stupid as I thought I would be as I managed to wake up 5 mins after it launched. I installed and was happy until it wouldn’t boot. But being a whole re-write of the OS I wasn’t too upset that I had to restore from a back up. 100+ features for free!

Roughly 10 hours into the new update all I can say is wow. Everything feel snappier, especially the iPod stuff, which I was sure was tacked on the the phone part and not the other way around. The search function is useful, as is copy-pasta and push notification. I’m yet to get an MMS though, I’ll have to test that out tonight to see if it works. Voice recording is useless to me, I wish I could delete it…

i'm feeling:

I rally love this move that much that I bought the DVD last weekend, and then tonight I thought, fuck it, and went and got the blu-ray for good measure. My god what a difference. Blu-ray really is a generational leap in picture quality, just like DVD was to VHS. If you don’t beleive me you need to see for yourself. Pop a DVD in, even upscale it if you can, then put the Blu-ray version in. The difference smacks you in the face like a freight train. So much clearer, so much more detail, so much BETTER.

Buy Blu-Ray… NOW

i'm feeling:

Well I finally went ahead and did it. I’m all high definition in my room now. PS3 and Xbox360 and even high(er) definition Wii for all the glory. But as awesome as this is, I wont really get a change to play around with it after work. Oh, I also got suckered into getting the up-up-up model from what I went in to get and ended up with a Sony Bravia 40” Z Series with 200hz Motion flow technology. Hz are the WIN in TV’s… although no one can seem to tell me what Hz actually are on an LCD TV… Hmmm…

i'm feeling:

Well after an hour or so messing around with various power connections etc. I’ve managed to get the new video card up and running. Who would have though it requires an additional power sauce… what a pain, Stupid PCI-E cards… But in saying that, it has taken medicore average Left 4 Dead at 30fps to awesome 16x Ansiotropic, 4xAA max resolution left for dead to an average of 55fps (before it would chug to 10pfs), even on my aging gaming rig that’s pretty impressive to look at.

I’ve also got to say that I’m awesomly impressed with the Razer Lycosa Keyboard. It looks and feels awesome and glows an awesome blue to boot. BLAU! So long $25 microsfit emdia keyboard, you did server me well for 4 years, it will be a shame to see you go but your old and I never really liked you and your stupid favourite keys too much anyway.

i'm feeling:

At least tonight I get to pick up the new Keybaord and Video vard I’ve been waiting on for 3 weeks. Well it’s not the video card that I’ve been waiting on, I had to settle on a different brad cause the one I wanted wasn’t in.

Don’t know when I’m going to get the chance to install them though. I hear on the rumor vines that Roximas and Bellatron are on there way home as I type this. Now this is all going to be very exciting, I don’t think we have seen the girls in almost a month!

Anyway, pic of my new vid card cause I need something to waste webspace on…

i'm feeling:

Anyway, despite the loss of sleep last night I'm still pretty happy that it's a short week this week. Short work weeks are the best. You get paid quicker, they go fast, no-one really cares that you don't do anything on the Tuesday or Friday. Hence I much prefer short weeks that take out a Monday than a Friday. Everyone rushes on the Thursday for some reason... fucking morons.

Oh and Metroid Prime: Hunters... shit. I hate it. Fucking game gave me cramps with it's control scheme and talk about lack lustre game play. Enemies are soooooo repet-repet-repetive. Fuck you stupid game.

I hope Star Ocean the Last Hope, Mass Effect and Resistance 2 are better... Oh no I didn't... Oh yes I did.

**Side note** Fuck yeah Blu-Ray

i'm feeling:

Hopefully I can get through a couple more. I'm planning on giving Metroid Prime: Hunters on the DS a go on the weekend, that's if I get around to it. But it's a long weekend and we all know that I love them.

Other than that, new job seems to be going well. I get left alone for the most part and seem to have full reign over the internets, which is good because there's a few things daddy needs to get some prices on at the moment and I can't be bothered doing it at home... plus you know they don't pay me to do it at home. LOL

Check it Out Here

Basically I came in my pants when I heard this. I've been waiting so long for an english localisation of ANY Sakura Taisen game I have up hope a long, long time ago. There were hopes and rumors when Sakura Taisen ~Atsuki Chishio ni~ came out in Japan, not that I waited. I just buy up the special limited edition versions or any ST game released and horde them like a madman. 

Sakura Taisen 5 was one of the best PS2 import games that I played. Graphics were good, story was excellent (easy to follow even though I don't know Japanese) gameplay was outstanding. For those of you that don't know Sakura Taisen games blend Strategy, Dating Sim, Anime Storybook and Action games togother in one magnificent gameplay experience. The basis of the games are that you go around sweet talking chicks to make the battles easier against the Steam Punk evil Robots that you have to lay smack down on. Epic Boss fights thrown in for good measure and Combination moves are abundant. The more the girls like you the better there fighting abilites are. If your super nice to one girl in particular you get her special lovey dovey ending, that's well worth the effort for replay. With some clever saving, resetting and strategy you can see all the ending in about 2 full sittings.

It's also interesteing to note that a Wii version is going to be released as well, of course I'll get both, that's just what I do when it comes to Sakura Taisen stuff. Wii Controls + Sakura Taisen might even be enough to warrant me purchasing a US Wii... cause I don't think my region hack is going to last forever. Region encoding is so 2005.

i'm feeling:

So hopefully tonight I can get some Infinite Undiscovery in, or maybe some Last Remnant  or Eternal Sonata, I've been jonesing for some good RPG action for a while now and the PS2 and Wii just aren't cutting it.

i'm feeling:

Let me start by saying I love the Heat The Soul series on PSP. I've had a lot of great times beating the crap out of friends via WiFi in the first game. Then 2-4 came and they trumped each other fantastically. 5 introduced a bunch of new characters and tag mechanic and hollow ichigo (awesomeness to play as).

Then comes six. I really hope this isn't the end of the series (HTS:7 anyone?) becuase it's a bit of a low point. Wright with exploits and a pointless story battles with stupid rules. The tag mechanic it's ok, but essentially you have to pick between having 2 characters tht you can swap, change and absorbe damage with or 1 beefed up character with a crappy power up special. As you guessed it 2 characters in tag nearly always win. The AI can be punishing as well... too punishing in some parts. It jumps from being "walks into punches" to "harbringer of death" mid way through the game.

I'm happy I got it. But just wanted to share with you. If your not a HTS fan, don't get this as your first game, get 3 or 4 (cheap mind you from play-asia).
