I've been bored with the topics and threads on the site lately.. Can we do something proactive and review something, anything!

G4me5, m0vie5, la5t s4ndwich y0u ate, a Y0utube video, this t0pic, a new purch4se.
 
I would start it off but I'm lazy as shit. Could we get creative. A picture, a sound effect, a disgusting metaphor, a vid, a one man p0dcast.. anything that will entertain or brake the monotony of the current state of things.

At this point Ill watch, listen, feel anything you leave here.
 
Edit**
Reading back on this I realized I potentially opened the flood gates to shit like news report reviews like politics and African voting scandals. Please for the love off god, not that bullshit.
 
Also a picture of your last dump and a review on the subject probably wouldn't be the best idea.. but then again I'm pretty desperate for something to happen, so any contributions would deserve my gratitude.

Actually... come up with some stuff to vito if you want. I vito pictures of dog/human/cat shit.

The last few months I've found myself unable to sink into any new games, they all feel stale and overdone.

I use to have no problem spending weeks grinding exp in some random rpg or days on end camping out some rare spawn in an mmo without once thinking to myself, 'wtf am I doing!'. Now I get bored just thinking about it, I give up before even getting past the first few levels of anything I pick up, It all feels like one giant timesink.

Right now I feel like a part of me has died, the gaming part.

I havnt had any real interest in anything new lately, nothing appeals to me. It's not just newer games but the older ones too that I use to love and enjoy.

Could this be a side effect of growing up because I always assumed I would be playing video games up until I was old and ready to kick the bucket. Hopefully its temporary, anyone else experience this?

I was just thinking about a few games I kinda regret/not bothered to complete like, fallout vegas. For some reason I just lost interest in console gaming and dropped all the games I was playing on the PS3 at the time including fallout.

Also always wanted to complete an old spiderman game I had on the sega but it kicked my ass everytime. Dont remember the name but I would always reach as far as electro before getting my ass handed to me.

Any games you guys hope to get around to finishing or games you just never bothered to complete?

I havnt been online as much as I normally am, but have certainly noticed the huge increase in spambots in general.
What's with all the attention all of a sudden, Is anything being done about this?
Might want to think about making it a little harder to create an account with something like more verification e-mails? Or maybe adding some kind of grace period preventing new accounts from making more than 1-2 threads a day.
I'm sure others can come up with more ideas to get rid of these fu*kers.

Been trying to think of the name of an old movie I watched when I was a little kid but with no luck, I dont remember much but what I do remember was a young guy who finds a small box or maybe it was a briefcase with some sort of alien artifact inside which attaches itself to the back of his neck and shoots out forming a blue power suit of some kind.
 
I think the bad guys also have the ability to transform too but their after the kid because his suit is something unique/prototype maybe.. something like that.
At the end I'm pretty sure I remember the main bad guy turns into a giant creature before the two of them fight it out?
 
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I remember someone suggesting a great paint program a few years back which was used to convert images to .png with little loss of colour. I think a few used it for converting graphics into rpg maker.. anyone remember the name?

Cant remember if this show was ever mentioned but season 2 has only recently started and things are picking up with each episode. This is becoming one of my favourite shows already and its a lot of fun to watch, especially this new season.
 
If you dont know, this is a british show about a group of misfit teens who develop powers during a storm. Its got some great british humor if not a little too extreme.
 
I'm only mentioning it now after watching the latest episode where one guy begins to see the world as a game, this game being grand theft auto. A lot happens in this episode and is well worth the watch.
 
Anyone seen this yet?

Well I recently finished watching all 4 seasons of BSG the last two weeks and loved it to bits and after feeling somewhat depressed with the thought that there was no more BSG for me I began searching for something to fill the void.

I found a show called Caprica which is still somewhat new and as I understand it, its set before the events of BSG. Has anyone come across this show, is it worth watching and does it live up to BSG?

I purchased a premade pc unit from Overclockers which came with Windows 7 and after turning it on for the first time it asks me to input Windows 7 activation code to keep it unlocked otherwise it will lock down in a month, I suppose this is something you have to do after installing an OS for the first time.

After numerous attempts the code continues to fail and is not reconised. I call overlockers to explain my problem which took almost 20minutes before I got an answer only for them to tell me its a microsoft error and I should call Microsoft.

After almost 30minutes being switched between lines and numbers I finally get through to an actual person from Microsoft who tells me its something I need to sort out with overclockers.

Now I have to wait till monday to try again with overclockers.

This is some bullshit right there.

Another truely sick video of animal cruelty has been released and already began spreading across the internet, this time of a young girl throwing new born puppies into a river.

It was only a few weeks ago we saw the old woman throwing a cat in a dumpster and now this. I just dont understand how anyone could do these things and think its ok. All I can say is I hope that girl gets whats coming to her, although thinking about it.. wtf will the police do to a young girl like that except for a slight slap on the wrist, if that.

Just wanted to bring this to your attention if you havnt seen it already because I really cant stand the idea of animal cruelty. People need to see whats going on out there in the world.

Link if you need to see the video and hopefully they will use the vid to catch the girl.

My HDMI Cable had been working fine for a while now but recently in the last few weeks it stopped working roughly around the time I updated windows with one of those regular updates it does. I purchased another HDMI Cable thinking it was the cable which was faulty but it continues to not work so I'm guessing its the laptop.  Any suggestions?

I was looking through Amazon when I decided to check the price for FF XIII, I'm waiting for it to go cheap because im a 'cheap bastard' when I realised what I was looking at wasnt XIII but XIV and it appears to be a MMORPG for the PS3. This is the first I've heard of this and so far it seems to have kept itself rather quite.

Did I miss a topic/thread on this because I find it hard to believe no one has bothered to even mention this yet!?

Whats the deal?

How do you feel about a FF MMORPG on the PS3? Do console MMORPGs even work compared to one on the PC?

Im not sure what to think of this. But I'm kinda excited, why? I dunno.

Maybe this is old news and I just missed it, if so.. catch me up.

If your an owner of the original chunky PS3 like me then you have undoubtedly been unable sign into PSN and even play a lot of your games off-line including the new Heavy rain. I've been constantly checking for updates as to wether they are close to a solution but still no real information on an eta.

I'm just finding it absolutely ridiculous that this is something which has affected close to 35million people worldwide, a lot of them very pi*%ed off and leaving comments all over the place. Some over the top and very dramatic, doesn't look like Sony will hear the end of this.

Sony are keeping us updated (if you can call it that 'last update 14h ago') on twitter - http://twitter.com/sonyplaystation

More information here - http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2010/mar/01/games-sony

Has anyone lost any of their trophy's yet because a lot of people already have.


EDIT***

It's also advised you stay off your PS3 until a solution has been found, hmm..

Got hold of a wire which lets me connect my tv to my laptop and use that as the monitor. The picture works fine but theres no sound, is that normal? I only wanted it to watch movies and tv shows without having to burn any discs.

For PS3 users who care, PSN recently released 6 short films all off which are free to download at the Playstation Store. I watched them a few days ago and thought they weren't all that bad and might be worth checking out. Has anyone seen any yet?

Each movie had its own director all from different parts of Europe including France, Germany, Spain, UK, Scandinavia and one from Canada and as a result all the movies have their own unique feel to them. The director's were given a word each, these words supposedly capture the essence of the Playstation and they had to structure their movie around their individual word.

Play, Create, Share, Connect, Discover and Challenge.

The movies are

Citizen Hero
Prison Food
Hands
8.3 Minutes
The Dreaming
Bitter

I thought The Dreaming was very beautifully shot and I enjoyed Prison Food. Bitter made me lmao and although I didn't like Citizen Hero, the hero part made me  think "WTF is going on" which was actually quite funny. 8.3 Minutes was a little over the top and Hands was rather clever.

To sum up, they aren't masterpieces but they are FREE so check them out.

I'm not a bot.

Any British folk watched this yet?

I stumbled across it accidentally while browsing through BBC IPlayer on the PS3. Normally I avoid everything British while watching tv but for the first time in a long time, I'm actually looking forward to watching more of this. Admittedly, its starts of very slow and I almost gave up on it but by the end I was very impressed and now cant wait for the second episode.

I would definitely recommend this if only to see how the Brits handle their own version of the show Flashwforward, GJ Brits... How often do I get to say that!

You can watch this at the moment on BBC IPlayer - doubt this works outside the UK.

I'm desperate to fix my computer which refuses to work properly, it suffers from random reboots and freezes. I replaced the power supply but still have the same problem so now I want to replace the ram and graphics card hoping that will fix it.

Q. Can I purchase any graphics card, do all graphics cards work in all computers or will I need to look for something specific for my slim-line com. Same question concerning ram also because I really have no clue.

Your assistance required

I came across a video on Youtube of a couple guys throwing their dog off a bridge, I wasn't able to watch more than 5secs but from all the comments and responce videos I could tell it was real.

Just another sick video now being circulated, but I cant help but wonder how these sick bast*rds could do such a thing while laughing their asses off. I know there are some real dicks in our little world but I just cant comprehend how someone can do something so terrible and not feel any remorse, or any kind of guilt.
From the still image I saw it was a small dog unable to wiggle its way out of the hands of this psychopath being held over a bridge, I just cant help but wonder how frightened this poor dog was.

I just want to hurt these guys. I also hate us humans.

This came up in conversation and I wanted to hear about what games have beaten you guys. This got me thinking back to the Sega Megadrive and I remembered two games from this console which beat me everytime.

The first was some spiderman game, I forget the name but I would always get my ass handed to me each time I reached the electro guy which wasn't very often. The second was a game I'm still unsure as to why I actually played called Alex the Kid, this would pawn me everytime and I was stupid enough to keep trying.

Now that I think about it, I remember getting beaten by Gran turismo 3 on the PS2. I must have gotten at least 90%, but those endurance races killed me sitting there for an hour plus going around in circles. Me and a friend had to take turns with each endurance race because they were impossible to complete by yourself, I think we gave up after the 3rd or 4th.
So these are just a few games that have beat me over the years, theres a ton more but the more recent ones are due to me getting bored with them rather than them being too difficult.. I don't have the patience I use to have with video games anymore.

Any want to share?

I've looked around online but havent come up with any solutions to my problem, my internet connection works fine and my ps3 is hooked up via cable but I cant seem to connect to game servers within any of my games.

I know the internet on my console works because I can log in fine and download demos/content from the PS store but if I try to connect to any online game it will get stuck and spend 5mins trying to connect before giving up.

Anyone got any ideas or solutions?
