so there's been a lot of hype and misinformation in both directions for this generation of the console war. i'm still deciding if it's worth it to buy one of the systems. please help me decide which i should go for. i should qualify this by saying where i'm coming from. i currently own an xbox 360, and i used to have a ps3. i sold the ps3 because it was basically a fancy blu-ray player for me, and i wasn't using it near enough to justify having it. i preferred playing cross-platform titles on my PC or 360 due to the much better online service. also, while i owned an xbox and a ps2, i preferred the exclusives of MS's consoles over Sony's. so: things that don't matter to me include price (i just want the better console and i'd be willing to pay for that), system installs, backwards compatibility, the whole system checkin thing (i have broadband and don't care about country folk), or the used game issue. things that do matter to me include a functional and efficient online service that works (like, when i last had a PS3, PSN was literally a joke compared to XBL) and good games. if i can watch tv shows on the system from a website like CBS.com or something, that's a huge bonus. so, like, what games are system-sellers? what features are just too good (or bad) to pass up? because i'm still not sure if i want to sell my slim 360 before the relative worth of it goes through the floor, or hold onto it until the systems are out for several months and go from there. edit: i should clarify something. i have a lot of XBLA games, so if XBLA gets some form of backwards compatibility, i'd be interested. also worth noting is that i have no friends with a PS3, but almost everyone i game with has a 360. to an extent, what those people choose next generation will affect my decision.

i'd make better time if newegg didn't take a week to ship a friggin dvd drive. only thing i'm waiting on before i can start loading the OS.

two issues here. 1. are you seriously saying drm is bad for medium-sized publishers? those are the ones hit the hardest by piracy. when you only sell 75k of a game, and it's pirated 500k times, that's worse than selling 5m copies of a game and having it pirated 2m times. look at a game like demigod for an example of what can happen. 2. don't confuse drm on a console with drm on a pc or otherwise. PC drm involves tons of stupid bullshit that literally doesn't work at all at what it's supposed to do (prevent people from stealing your game). console drm isn't to prevent a person from stealing your game, it's to prevent a CORPORATION from stealing your profits. it's one thing to be all high and mighty and complain about drm being wrong or some bs, but when it comes to consoles you're just being a cheapskate and trying to save a few bucks at the expense of your favorite developer.

YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH so happy!

no. most fridges can barely cool themselves, and the condensation created would nuke just about any system. the h60 is a pretty nice unit (there are better out there but not better price/performance in that price range). you just strap the cooler on and then put the radiator unit either between the rear 120mm fan or behind it, so that it pulls air through it to cool everything. easy to install and effective. once the dvd drive gets here tomorrow and i can actually finish the build, i'll post some pics.

hey, got a new build coming in with a corsair H60 (self-contained watercooling unit) as the cpu cooler. i'll post some pictures soon.

not a bad laptop for the price. buy a chill pad and expect it to not last forever, though - it'll run hot. i'd also recommend stripping whatever it's running off, and run W7.

hey, i saw this being demoed the other day. was thinking about checking it out. sounds like it's worth my time =)

i love dblue glitch =) i'll check out the sample pack too.

you have a poster of your face? that is so awesome. i would never be able to pull it off.

i never played okami, but i've always been impressed with the art from the game. i looked a bit and i was right: others felt that the art style from that game was inspiring. http://www.artofokami.com/ http://www.ebay.com/itm/230628474761 http://society6.com/ruwah/God-Hound-Okami_Framed-Print also, i found this one, which i thought was pretty cool. yamelme.deviantart.com/gallery/42709311 - a whole set of minimalist game posters, including some recent good ones like ME3, tomb raider, and skyrim.

i'll likely start a guild, so i'll ping you when i have more info.

zac does some interesting stuff, but not really the style i was looking for. plus his store is mostly comics of some kind, not really standalone stuff.

yeah. at this point they're working towards getting a 'major fantasy writer' to write a book about the universe, at 1.8m total (including paypal, which is ~100k at this point). also, i'm in at the 35$ level, so if you're gonna play, you should let me know =)

i'll bump this up because i can't believe that there's only a few people interested in this kind of stuff.

haha, i just looked at the original judging thread for junkie and realized that it was back in december of 2007...and it had been done for a while at that point. judges complained about mastering issues even then! =)

this is gorgeous! so awesome. and my wife thought it was cool, too, so that's positive as well =) annie, yeah, i've definitely seen a lot of knockoff stuff or digitized and printed stuff that wasn't originally the artist's. i usually prefer to go through the artist themselves on something like this but i was hoping for direction. i really like the movie poster-style ones that i linked in my original post, but i'd like one or more different games than what's there. i think it'd be cool to get one for either the witcher, the gears of war or halo series, mirror's edge, mass effect, or a few other games that i really enjoyed but aren't necessarily very popular (like enslaved: odyssey to the west). i'd love to get something for eve online too, since i'm a big fan of the game also.

hey, now that i've got a house with an office and everything, i need to find some game art. i prefer more serious/artsy stuff - that is, like these: http://www.marinkoillustration.com/Video-Games http://fineartamerica.com/featured/2-plays-per-quarter-benjamin-yeager.html http://www.etsy.com/listing/123455349/assassins-creed-inspired-print-11x17 anyone got some more works that i could look at? i'd prefer framed or mounted prints, and i prefer more modern games over super-retro stuff.

love how they use useless stuff - like an ion bank in the silver plug - to make themselves sound super cool. it's a lot of nice hardware, but honestly i can't imagine myself using all of that crap only to cycle in new parts in six months. also, 45d fittings aren't new. i use them all the time in watercooling kits with fat tubes that don't bend well.

get me a parts list and i'll get you the cost. i'm really tired now and not super into listening to that mouthbreather too much XD

mustin's "most recent posts" page shows his last 25 posts. it extends back to 2012. that said it's an awesome track =)

hahaha now THAT is awesome!

hey, don't forget that i drove out and dropped it off for the cost of the gas, too =)

yeah, sorry, but he was fixing it. i'll sound really pretentious too and say that i know it because i own and use the programs regularly, and some of the most obvious tells were showing in the videos. it was fun to listen to! but it's obvious that he didn't sing every single note exactly in time with exactly the right pitch. i still liked it =)

i think it's comical he thinks people will believe him that he's not using voice correction software =) the video isn't even in sync with his mouth half the time!
