Humodour

Hmm that's odd. In the past I saw avatar changes just fine though?

Thanks guys. Gorgon: Hmm... while I'm tempted to get a Zen or a Zen Stone, the Sony you mention sounds interesting... what model is it? I don't think they're on the market yet; just prototypes in labs. It gets fairly expensive for flash as storage increases, though. Although with this 'memristor' that may change. In fact the memristor will probably be a disruptive technology in all areas of digital storage - hard drives, flash, RAM, etc.Nnot to mention processing; it's the wall-scaling breakthrough they need to maintain Moore's law.

What is it meant to be? Try re-uploading.

Um... what? 'He' as in Hell Kitty, you silly billy.

I've never had my earphones break. My only pair of good headphones broke fairly fast. Phooey.

The slow kind of course!

Oh dammit, I see what you mean. Yeah, I meant Alpha Protocol. For some reason I was thinking he was asking me if I meant the trailer for the other game (which I in fact did). Why do they both have to start with 'a'?

Erk, I probably should have posted this in tech stuff.

Mushroom, mushroom! I bet they were on a few mushrooms when they made that, too.

Yup, I was thinking of Hot Fuzz while I was watching it. Quite a few similarities! It now occurs to me that Shaun and his friend are the protagonists of Hot Fuzz also.

What the f... Interesting movie. Haha.

I am sadding that Natalie died, though. Although it was a very human death, I suppose? Looks like she was hallucinating at the end, and in a similar way to the 'ship' hallucination of Roslin's cancer friend. Also, wtf @ rebel ship being destroyed. Obviously there is more to it. Hmmm, what?

Nah. Aliens.

She says it will be up soon at ftp://segapr.segaamerica.com/SEGA_GAMES/Alien/

What's your avatar from? At first I thought it was Farscape, but his name's John, not Dave. Buffering trailer now. I look forward to this, though. DS1, DS1 xpack, then DS2 all showed that GPG is capable of listening to the fans, big improvements, good storytelling, and potential for making good RPGs. Edit: Oh, fun trailer!

Hmm looks like an excellent bunch of books referenced here. I'll have to trawl through it later on to re-ignite my reading career. It's so excellent like that. I have to buy a new copy I think... one of my friends seems to have nicked off with my old blue and gold 4 part trilogy.

It is surreal but nonetheless entertaining to read about the mundane soccer antics of my favourite development studio.

Do you fall asleep while running, often? Heh. No, but I have weird circadian rhythms and it's usually very hard to wake up before 10am, so an extra alarm clock is never a bad thing!

Yeah, Stalker's PDA looks sweet.

Oh, this one looks nice. I wanted a Creative Zen about 5 years ago, 16gb, has an SD expansion slot, and an alarm clock! http://www.minidisc.com.au/creative-zen-16...yer-p-1313.html

So I'm sick of hard drive players for a few reasons - one of them being the mechanical parts tend to frak up when I'm running. Plus, I suspect flash based drives would last longer in terms of battery life, yeah? Also, I'd like a more portable solution in terms of doubling as a USB stick flash drive. About 10gb or more is ideal. So suggest away! I'd prefer a Windows/Linux explorer drag and drop player, as I have issues with iTunes and SonicStage (and similar), but it's not critical. And finally, I think a flash drive is rather fitting to go running with, no? Run, Flash, run!

On a related note: in about 5 hours time I will be watching Shaun of the Dead for the first time. Should be epic.

That's a swell idea,... Mr. Secretary of Defense! I swear to uphold the living-ness of this great nation (um, the Internet) and to tirelessly steal the ideas of others while in pursuit of such defence.

To qualify my earlier post: If you're anything like me, then Morrowind, despite its terrific early-game atmosphere, left you feeling hollow inside by the end of it (with finishing the game becoming rather like being forced to wash the dishes).

Nah.
