  1. the original kindle didn't, but all of the sony readers do, as well as the kindle 2 and kindle dx. dunno about the others. actually, the sony reader reads most of the drm-free formats, like epub, txt, rtf, word docs, etc. charlie's angel, you're the kind of person who sells your games after you've played them once, aren't you? i save everything i've read, just in case i want to read them again. that way i don't have to buy it again if i want to go through a big series again. besides, how much do you get for a mass-market paperback? a dollar? that book's worth more to me than that =) tinus, sony's readers allow for text scaling, but you have to do it in the program that comes with it, i think =( oh well. most ereaders, due to the refresh rate, suck with textbooks unless you just want to read them like a book. hard to go back and view other stuff.
  2. did you even read the op? it was totally useless. contributed nothing to the thread. hence, the cpb.
  3. i recently purchased a sony reader touch, a full-color touchscreen ebook reader. i'll be receiving it tomorrow. i'm an avid reader, particularly of sci-fi and fantasy novels. however, my bookshelf is literally crammed full of books, and for all practical purposes i'm running out of room. i'd had my eye on the kindle for a year or two, but it always seemed impractical to buy a device that would allow me to repurchase all of my books. i found this on woot a week or two ago, and said to myself, "time to spend some birthday money". i've been filling my ebook library between then and now, and i'm up to almost 500 books of free content, be it classics like Bram Stoker's Dracula or free releases like Brandon Sanderson's full book Warbreaker that he released earlier last year. i'm very excited to get my reader tomorrow. this model is particularly cool because it supports me writing notes into it with the included stylus, as well as pictures (for comics online) and audio (for audiobooks and music). does anyone else out there have an ebook reader? what do you think?
  4. i'm going online RIGHT NOW to play reach. i'm pretty bad, but fun to play with =) send me a friend request if you want to play! edit: if you don't know what mouseover means, my gamertag is prophetofsax.
  5. this might be worse than that time that garrett graves said, funniest thing i've ever heard on these boards. you know alicia keys was at columbia university for music before she dropped out for her 'songs in a minor' record contract, right? that she graduated prep school in three years? that she won like five or six grammy awards as a result of her first album? have you ever heard her play the piano? yeah, that's just a songwriter doing it for her. not like she's been writing songs since she was 14 or 15 or anything. in other news, this sampleset is the best piano sampleset available now for anything that's not historically accurate classical works. it can do anything.
  6. medium range combat definitely improved with h2's battle rifle, but the addition of guns like the focus rifle, needler rifle, and the newly redesigned battle rifle in this game (as well as a decent pistol again, finally!) make a big difference.
  7. i'd be up for during the day on wednesday (or really late, like 11pm est), or tuesday night. i'm pretty bad, but i've had my moments.
  8. halo was never meant to be a fast-paced game like that - it's always been a little slower, forgoing twitch for a little more strategy. nice for people like me who aren't as good at that kind of stuff
  9. good to see you, too =)

  10. lol, of course not. i'm not THAT dumb. i more am just thinking it's funny that HD the 14yo is biting on it :

  11. i wanted xbox. linnea refused to call a living creature that, or my second choice (atari). i also tried to call him dong.
  12. he was able to make it last year, too. hair's shorter. i think he got taller. they know how to grow them in the home country (my wife's 50% swedish, and we get into the culture a lot). blame it on the korv and lingenberry, that stuff's awesome. the picture of you on your website is BALLER, too =) you look awesome. do you know who does the synth production for some of Timoteij's other tracks? i listened to the studio version of Kom, as well as some other ones (VILD was pretty awesome). sounds bloody awesome. did you do the studio work, too? edit: holy crap, 925k views?!? awesome!
  13. halo 3's campaign - and, in turn, ODST's campaign - are some of the best cooperative gaming i've had on a console. i REALLY enjoy playing through those maps. a bit linear, but it's a shooter, and they do an incredibly good job designing each major area.
  14. i wrote the music for a game, iRis AG. there's a free version available, and a paid one as well. i'd love it if you could check it out =)
  15. the beta is kind of a free gift, and it's the only big-name shooter to come out for a while in terms of multi online play (battlefield and CoD are already out for a while, gears 3 is next year, etc). i know betas are no big news in PC gaming, but on a console they're making history with this one. of course, they might have been a bit frazzled by six hundred THOUSAND people coming online in the first eight hours, with more to come when they finished their downloads.
  16. the server downtime was caused by a literal fire in the bungie server department. that, and 600k people trying to download a gig and a half and then play. bungie.net's post about the subject is incredibly hilarious.
  17. you don't need to pay for winamp, since there's a free version available as well. get the free version, install chipamp, and go into preferences. go under plugins-output, and set the directsound plugin to where you want the output to be. boom done.
  18. i moved iggy's track to 'WIP', but since Sound Test just finished up his Ballad/End Theme track we're still static. but we're moving forward, i promise!
  19. i'll admit that i'm unfamiliar with the tech or specs behind 5.1 headphones. i usually recommend discrete speakers, since you can get a decent set of logi 5.1s for around the same price or less than you'd be paying for these headphones. wiring can be an issue, though. i know little about this technology, but as far as i can see i'd avoid CMSS-3D if possible. there's only a few cards that support it, and they're all X-Fi (aka, notoriously incompatible, with sloppy drivers and poopy support). dolby's likely a better route. tbh, a set with integrated processing would be a better choice, as far as i can see. it'd be nice to get a good sound card and then have nice cans, but that'll cost more in the long run and you'll have fewer issues getting the sound card to work with your system. if you're just asking about what sound card is best that's available nowadays, i'm only intimately familiar with one - the Soundblaster Live! 24-bit usb card. i liked it, a lot. don't use it now because it conflicts with some drivers for my recording interface. when i divorce gaming and music onto different computers, i'm going to reinstall it and pray that the drivers still work on w7.
