Febuary the month of hope.

We enter Febuary!~ An amazing month... For all but Meng who forgot about his sodding ICT (computing) coursework.



The implimentation stage of my ICT coursework is due on the 18th.
No problem i hear you say , ive had since 17th of December to be working on it right - because im not a lazy bastard spending all my time playing games and chatting on IRC.
Obviously that makes me sound like i brought it upon myself but one must consider that i also had to study for January exams , work at that godforsaken restaurant , learn to drive a car and other bullshit.

I thought id show you all exactly how far ive gotten with my coursework , the pictures are rather large because i presume you all want to actually read the subjects im supposed to be doing and not just stare at small black lines in a sea of A4 paper.







I realise some of you (Hawk) will say this is self inflicted , but fuck you. I have a very busy life and dont have any time to waste on Silly activities

Offtopic here , but i would like to thank Anonymous1c4 for being the official mascot for quite possibly the most awesome forums in the world.
And thus, we thank you for without you our cottage would not be the same.



By the way , i encourage regular readers/commenters of the blog to sign up , the comments are currently set to auto approve of approved users. This means i dont have to actively approve of comments before they show up in the comments box thingy.

Super Paper Mario has the most retarded level ever.

So i recently got Super Paper Mario back after RMA'ing it because of disk errors and such. And i come to chapter 2-3 (i think).
The jist of this chapter is that you break a vase costing 1 million rubees (yes rubees) , you then have to work this off by doing bullshit menial chore for ages.
You start in a block jumping room thing , basically you jump to hit a block above your head for 100 times (aka. push the button 100 times.) , you then take the 100 rubees you make and give it to some other guy who will in exchange give you the code for the 'special' bullshit menial chore room which involves you running around in a giant hamster wheel for ages (aka. hold right on the dpad for somewhere in the region of half an hour)
Heres a picture of me in my lounge playing this segment.

SPM

Oh. whoops. yeah by me playing i meant my substitute - a rubber band.
Thank goodness for rubber bands , without them i might have actually had to endure this shit for any longer than 20 seconds.

Meanwhile in another part of home...


SPM2

Is me occupying myself whilst im waiting for stupidass hamster wheel to generate me money.

After about half an hour of playing i return downstairs to find my Wiimote had switched itself off due to extreme boredom and such.
Thats right guys , even my fucking wiimote is tired of this shit.
I turn my wiimote back on and get out of the hamster wheel to see how much money ive earned in the half an hour i spent being nibbled on by angry spaniards.
I've earned 24,000 rubees. (out of 1,000,000 - thats 2.5%)

I cried a little.

Zimbabwe - The only country where you can be a multi-millionaire and still starve to death.

http://www.gadling.com/2008/01/22/zimbabwe-releases-10-million-bill/

"As the US economy inches ever closer to a recession, it might provide a little perspective to look at what a real economic crisis looks like. Plagued by hyperinflation of over 50,000% a year, Zimbabwe's central bank recently decided to issue $10 million notes-- believed to be the highest denomination of currency in the world today. The bill, worth less than US$4, is barely enough to purchase a hamburger. One writer illustrates the rampant inflation:

"The bill is exactly the same color, layout and design as a $20 bill I've been carrying in my wallet since my trip to Zimbabwe 15 months ago... When I wrote about that $20, it was worth about $0.025 USD - a silly amount of money to represent with a bill, but still a functional piece of currency. At the moment, that bill is worth $0.00000005 cents, or 5 hundred-millionths of a cent."

Residents of Zimbabwe have been forced to use brick-shaped stacks of worthless bills to purchase even everyday items, like groceries. This  shown below is what it took to buy a beer just a month ago-- today the situation is still worse. The introduction of the $10 million bill is a response to this, but given the astronomical rate of inflation, the bill will only hold its value for a few weeks before it too becomes worthless"

zimbabwe

~~~~~~~~
I rofl'd , this is so bad its horrible. Although i would like to get my hands on a couple of those 10 million dollar bills. Then id cover myself in honey and stick the bills to myself and run around with a suit of bills - which i can only assume would be somewhere in the region of $500,000,000

..what are you looking at me like that for. you guys never fantasize about wearing money?

Jets N Guns uploaded

Ive uploaded a cool game for you all called 'Jets N Guns' , its a sidescrolling shooter similar to gradius and such only with the twist of you being able to buy weapons/missiles/bombs and upgrade them. Play levels for money , use money to upgrade plane , use planes to play levels etc.

It really is a good game , id recommend you all try it- there are some good gameplay videos on youtube.

its 40/40/25 mb to download and unpacks to around 140mb.
give it a shot :3

Probably a good idea to play on easy since its stupid hard on anything above that. When you complete the game you can play on harder difficulties with your upgraded ship.

Meng's Bizarre Adventure now has file hosting capabilities.

edit : Just checked , i have 5.6 TB bandwidth per month and my current disk space usage is 75MB out of 524GB

You can see what has been uploaded by other people by using the below link.

Coolermaster , heatsinks to rival car engines.

Coolermasters new heatsink series for CPU's , named similar to car engines and sized appropriately.
First is the V8
v8

Yes. obscenely huge. but then. . .

~A CHALLENGER APPEARS ~ (yeah i know.)

v10

the V10.
Now how this one works is waaaay beyond me. I thought my heatsink was fucking huge but this one is approximately a foot long apparently.
You can see the mounting point at the bottom there for the CPU - yes. that square. That is the size of a CPU , why the fuck would anyone need that. . . THING to cool it down O_O"

These were shown at CES 2008 , not sure when they'll be out.

Go for it sean!

Audiosurf - Amplitude for your mp3's

Well okay not quite amplitude. But its still pretty damned cool nonetheless.

http://media.audio-surf.com/SetupAudiosurf_BetaWeekend2_1.19.08.exe

Thats the link for the current beta , but im not sure how long it'll work since its... well.. beta.

Beta weekend is over folks , Those who missed the boat. Missed the boat. D:

http://www.audio-surf.com/

Thats their actual homepage and for a sample picture...



How bout some'o'dat ?

The gist of this is , you start up the game, select a music file from YOUR pc , it generates a level for you , what you then do is control a ship with your mouse and try to match certain colours.
This is somewhat flawed in a way as the aim of the game isnt always to hit beats on time but nonetheless it provides a new and intresting way for you to listen to your own music - the game track generated is of course influenced by the actual music track you are playing.

Of course after playing the tutorial level and thinking 'wow this game is bullshit easy' i proceeded to put it on medium difficulty level and pick a track which is J-trance. Now i know not many of you are too educated in J-trance but its basically normal trance , sped up by 3 times and with a japanese woman 'singing' (although im sure in its native language its more like rapping) over the top.
I got my ass handed to me.

2nd go.. i thought id try that song...



Another nifty thing about this game is that whatever song you play , your end score gets uploaded , so anyone else who has ever played that song before will have a score up.
Rather amazingly , only 1 person had a score on 'The Ritual' ,a pretty low one too. Maybe s/he got MAC TRUCK'D half way?

Ragnarok Online , still going strong apparently

So i was chatting to a friend about stuff when Ragnarok Online came up in the topic , feeling abit nostalgic i thought id check ROempire and see if anything has changed since i last checked.
Along with new classes (gunslinger , ninja) they added lots of new MVP monsters too. Most of which look pretty badass. Just thought id share this with you all and let you all rest assured that im definately NOT looking for an MMORPG to play. Because i hate those , yup. Honestly.




I havent been considering playing Phantasy Star Universe , World of Warcraft , Eve Online or RF online. Nope. Not me.

In other news.

Welcome to HDbits

Welcome to HDbits , i hope you brought your Hard drive CUZ IM EATIN IT.
HDbits

This is of course an exaggeration , the screenshot is only showing the largest torrents. however this is still not a site for the faint of HDD space, the average movie ranges from around 3gb to 8gb depending on the size of the film and the quality (avg 4gb for 720p , 8gb for 1080p)
and lets not forget TV episodes! - Want an episode of lost? yes? Okay , that'll be 1.5 gigs then.

Its a Beast.

desktop

^Link to my desktop now (at its actual resolution)

monitor

Its so big , it feels like my eyes are bleeding sometimes when i stare into it.
Contrast and brightness etc are all crazy.
Anime and general TV/movies looks awesome - although i do wish there was more HD stuff now
I tried abit of gaming , Some CSS and TF2. Both are amazing but TF2 can get a little bit jittery at times - my pc tends to keep it around 30 though.
CSS was absoloutely amazing , huge huge huge res with 4x AA and shit and running at a near constant 60fps is a real sight to behold.

Guess next on my shopping list is a new graphics card - although currently i seem to be having a dry patch with work - hope that clears up. i want a G92 8800GTS :3

Baby Savaged By Dog: Mum Grieves On Her 18th Birthday

http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1298682,00.html?f=rss - full article here.

Long story short. . .
" young mother has left a message for "little angel" as she spends her 18th birthday grieving for her toddler son after he was savaged by the family's Rottweiler. In a message on her page of website Bebo, Becki Hirst wrote: "R.I.P my lil angle mummy knows your still here love u alway and foreva (sic) x x x x x x "."

Im going straight to hell for this , but is it SO fucking hard for a greiving mother to at least not spell her dead childs memorial message like a retard?
Im also pretty annoyed that she did not specify just how 'lil' her angle was , are we talking 5° or 15° or what?

Ps. warning. Mac truck approaching.
