  1. Yeah, cause you have played all the originals Don't be stupid, a good game's a good game.
  2. Windows 7

    Tbh I like it a lot more than XP but it's really inexplicably rescources heavy and UAC was never a good idea. Vista was introduced as a revolution, but it's really not. You get a more stable and far prettier OS than XP, but in essence it presents nothing new for anybody. I hope Windows 7 will also feature WinFS, because that could be something in which MS could innovate. They haven't made a single comment about it though.
  3. Windows 7

    Windows 95, 98 and Me aren't included in that line because they're not based on Windows NT. Windows NT and 9x split after Windows 3, so 7 technically isn't a successor to those. Windows 7 will actually be heavily based on Vista though, so maybe it's more fair to say it's Windows 6.5. They basically took Vista (all drivers will still work) and made it better. They've improved UAC, apparently it runs fine on a Eee PC, and the GUI is quite revolutionary for Windows. Basically, it's what should've been Vista
  4. Wii HD in 2011?

    The beauty of a hybrid model, meaning you can download all games and buy some on disk, is that the difference between simple WiiWare games and the more complex games fades. Which is exactly what Nintendo's trying to achieve. Then they can actually go charge less for games like Wii Sports and My Word Coach as they have far less production value than, say, Zelda.
  5. WTF EA

    It's good that being a d*ck on the internet can have consequences.
  6. Wii HD in 2011?

    I think the Wii2 will have you download games or simply have them installed from disk. This holographic storage is not going to happen though. Publisher are not going to like this though.
  7. The Music Thread.

    I didn't say worst anywhere You've got to admit that Begin to Hope is a bit overdone in some places. Take Fidelity - Regina Spektor, the sweet, shy Russian girl, beginning an album with "shake it up"? Doesn't mean it isn't great music, though. Begin to Hope is really great stuff.
  8. Windows 7

    Would you read my posts well please. And stop calling me a fanboy, I love Windows They just can't claim they're so original. Microsoft has always been years behind in this stuff. They have good reasons too.
  9. Wii HD in 2011?

    Just be happy with the mega fast 100TB drive in your Wii2, Zechs.
  10. The Music Thread.

    Yeah, production isn't that great, though the songs are pretty powerful as always. It's the album that got me into Regina () though, so I don't really mind. I don't mind the new poppy sound at all, but it just doesn't click that well. Nonetheless, only Summer in the City and 20 Years Of Snow are weakish songs, and Edit has horrible production, but is essentially a good song. Soviet Kitsch is so much better though. Need to listen more to 11:11 and Songs.
  11. Wind Waker was the Zeldast of all Zeldas. I really don't get the idea why people think it has to be realistic, adult and epic and stuff. It's not the point of the game at all. Twilight Princess is the only game that tried that, and look how that got received. The Wind Waker captured the essence of Zelda way more than Twilight Princess (which I do really like).
  12. The Music Thread.

    Shame she doesn't seem to do Back of a Truck live anywhere. Man, I hope I can see her live some time. She's just so awesome not only as a musician, but also as a person
  13. I like both styles, but I don't think Nintendo has much space to improve upon TP's style on the Wii. I think they could make the The Wind Waker style look even more richer and vibrant with the Wii's extra power. Nintendo might want to save the realistic Zelda for the Wii2 so we can cream ourselves over the graphics again like in 2004. If all goes well the Wii2 will be more powerful than the PS3 and have digital surround. Zelda fans are going to be sore for days. That was the most epic Nintendo fan moment of all time.
  14. Nintendo goes all out

    Reggie's math is way off, but bleh Anyway, great and all.
  15. The State of Play on Wii

    Considering the internal hardware revisions MS is planning to make, I wouldn't be surprised to see a whole 360 redesign next year. But back on-topic: I have a feeling MP1 and MP2 might get quite a big revamp. The control mechanics of MP3 can't just be ported over.
  16. The Music Thread.

    Holy crap @ first listen to Back of a Truck by Regina Spektor I never love songs on first listen, but this, this is the stuff!
  17. The State of Play on Wii

    Excellent observation. MP3 really did something new, but you can hardly say anything like that about Halo 3. Not to say that the power of the new consoles doesn't do anything to improve gameplay, but it's all rather marginal. Don't you dare speak like that about MP3 anyway.
  18. Asus Laptop Help

    The price is lower here on the mainland, but you UK'ers get that a lot it seems. Seems like a great netbook though.
  19. Asus Laptop Help

    I've heard that Asuses are pretty solid and well-crafted netbooks. They invented it, so they must be pretty good. Considering you can't get a 1000 with XP (you can only get the 1000H with XP, the 1000 is Linux only) . To be honest, the fact you're expecting XP to muck up and you need to fix it really means you should try Linux. Linux has never mucked up on me in the last year I've started using it - and I used 'unstable' beta versions. Considering it's actually made for the laptop it should be pretty damn solid. They've also tweaked the interface to work with a small screen like that. Don't go for Linux if you're really uncomfortable stepping outside of Windows, but it's really rock solid and user friendly from what I've seen. And you can always install XP on it if you don't like it in the end. Also, flash drive >> hard drive. It'll boot up in 30 seconds

    Sorry, thread growth and open browsers, you know
  21. Formula 1 2008

    That's a bit extreme, but yeah, this standard engine is a bad idea. I get the standard rear wing because of the overtaking and all, and I get the budget limits, but come on. Formula 1 isn't NASCAR (thank god). I really hope the engine isn't standardized. The engine licensing for 5 million a year seems like a good idea though. Let's just hope this doesn't stop Cosworth from making a comeback.
  22. Asus Laptop Help

    Yeah, you should go for that. And the Eee PC 1000H does have a fairly big hard drive actually, it's 80GB. And you mean you feel safer with Windows as in you know where to find stuff?
  23. The State of Play on Wii

    They still make awesome games no? The Wii simply isn't a 360. I don't miss it. Now there's an unfounded assumption if there ever was one.
  24. Windows 7

    I don't mind them stealing either, it's all good. I just want to point out they did before people go "whoah, so revolutionary", because it really isn't. For Windows though, I love it. And I do really like Vista.
