  1. I got to see it for free, with complimentary popcorn, drinks and icecream. That said, I didn't go in expecting a cartoon-faithful rendition - I went in expecting pretty CG with big robots belting the shit out of each other. And Hugo Weaving's voice. I found myself not disappointed in the slightest.

    I also found it reassuring that our planet's special forces are capable of holding their own against giant alien robots. Even more reassuring is that it only takes a squad of US special forces to take out any given robot.

  2. CHz, once I'm assured decent speeds in Oblivion on Vista, this baby is so Vista'd. I admit, XP occasionally muffs it with determining which core should be doing what - I mean, I'd dedicate a single core to System and leave one core dedicated entirely to foreground processes (ie, games, etc) but evidently XP doesn't think to do this.

    Nekko, the only instance of having to disable multiple cores for games that I've found has been in games that use the Dark Engine or some variant thereof. This means Thief, Thief 2 and System Shock 2 are the only games I've encountered with that problem.

  3. For future use, and this goes for anyone suffering this problem, might I recommend Puppy Linux as I've found it to be fast, stable and small. And it's bootable off of a USB flash drive. It also allows you to install GRUBLoader, which you could use to point directly at your Windows partition.

  4. If the sequel will be anything like the original, than I think I'll be passing.

    Manhunt WAS a little over the top. I think we can all agree on that.

    It was, but an enjoyable over-the-top. Still, not something I'd replay, really. The Wii though, as it does with all first/third person shooters, offers a unique (console) experience, I'd imagine.

  5. Ahahahaha, they do have it! Superb. I shouldn't have to tell any of you who this bloke is - it only got GOTY several years running.

    Oh shit I just lost some of my internet anonymity.

  6. I sometimes listen to the FzeroGX soundtrack while driving on occasion...makes for some fun (though nerdy:|) driving.

    Makes for driving where you want to speed non-stop you mean. There's a reason I don't have any FZero-GX tracks on my playlist. Which is as follows.

    Oh fuck. iTunes went and deleted it. Well, plenty of BrainCells, goat, SnappleMan - all the guitar-heavy stuff. Makes you want to put your foot down.

  7. I just have every OCR remix (plus a few DoD and VGMixes) in a big playlist which I keep of shuffle.

    1665 songs

    4.5 days of music at 6.99GB

    Same, but I mix it up with some Rammstein, Apocalyptica and E Nomine. German musics for the win!

    Also, 1748 songs,

    4.8 days at 8GB

  8. I've determined that's the network interface these desktops use. Now, all fine and dandy for both Vector Linux and DSL. Unfortunately, my co-worker doesn't want linux - he wants Windows XP. And all I've got a legit copy of is XP Home.

    Internet is proving remarkably uncooperative in yielding these drivers, so I turn to you, OCRemix, to perhaps offer me assistance in this time of need.

    Thanks in advance.

  9. So two white, heavily armed kids only kill like 12 people and a Asian kid with a gun kills 32 and wounds more?

    Hm.

    I guess all that Zerg rushing and playing Gunz online really does improve your reflexes! Maybe he even used his mad DDR skills to dodge projectiles.

    Those boys trained on the even-then-outdated DOOM murder simulator, so it's natural that their affinity wasn't as high as this guy, who no doubt had access to the latest murder simulators, like Gears of War, GTA3 and Viva Pinata.

  10. If you want something you can't (and really don't want to) understand the lyrics, listen to Rammstein.

    Fixed.

    Also, cannot emphasise this one enough. Links 2 3 4 is great just for regulating your walking speed to a steady, fast-paced clip.
