For those of you who remember him, TC vet Demon is working at [[[[[ UNDISCLOSED BUSINESS IN REDMOND WASHINGTON ]]]]]], and if he does well he could be picking up a job there so everybody give him belly farts and perfume so this boy can make good!
if you need more hints, there's a reason i'm posting it *here*.
As it turns out, there seems to be a widepread problem with updating to the latest Media Player if you already have Media Connect installed. Basically, the media sharing functionality dies.
In summery: My PC can still see my 360, but my 360 can't see my PC any more (worked perfectly until I upgraded).
If you never installed Media Connect and just straight installed the latest Media Player, you should be fine.
MS really needs to fix this bug... It's annoying...
Apparently Bandai is making a Mario Party looking game based on this anime based on an american cartoon, and it's coming to the DS, but only the pink one apparently :D.
This only tells me that apparently this show is popular enough in Japan to justify it. I await the storm when it strikes the US coast.
I went to the midnight show last night. It was good, but not great. They did a good job of developing Sandman and the new Green Goblin (or Hobgoblin?), but Venom felt tacked on. Definitely entertaining, but the second movie is better. It feels like a good place to end the movie series.
The thread about PC snobbery reminded me that I had a copy of Fallout lying around somewhere. So, I went and dug through several piles of jewel cases until I finally found it. The good thing about this game is that it's old and my laptop, for whatever reason, likes things that are old and that have very low system requirements.
Anyway, I've played Fallout before, and by that I mean that I made it to the first town and then stopped playing because I didn't know what to do. That was roughly ten years ago. Well, here I am again and all I can say about this game is that time has done nothing what-so-ever to dull the luster of this classic gem.
Graphics, sound, music, voice-acting, and all that stuff holds up very well despite being ten years old. More than that however, the game itself is still fun to play and very, very interesting. You explore a vast desert full of radioactive scorpions, raiders, and mutants, finding various towns and places of interest. This is the kind of game that I love. You do what you want, how you want and if anybody tried to get in you're way, you mow them down with a submachine gun. Or an electric prod, if that's more you're style. Well, you can also punch them with you're fists too.
My one complaint? Your guy is really slow most of time. :(
I think the shopping channel wil have to add a new menu option, because this new game isn't really a "virtual console" emulation of the ol' Atari 2600 (has Nintendo made one of those yet by the way?). It's really more like what we see standard on Live Arcade, a full remake of the old Impossible Mission, hopefully this time it'll actually be BEATABLE (hint: the original Atari 2600 release, due to a bug in the game, was literally impossible, making this game the most amusingly aptly named game in history). I hope to see a lot more of this in the future so the Wii can finally get it's own specially controlled answer to MS's Geometry Wars (I play that game all the time, and GR you need to get that pacifism award, and DMiller are you even going to GET any decent games outside of some basketball on that thing, and DJ when are you going to actually PLAY some of that Enchanted Arms, and MS are you ever going to let people download Hexic HD off of Live, or do those poor souls who accidently deleted the free gift on the HD have to just live without the game forever with no way to restore it?).
Now if Nintendo can hack it with the online crowd in a workable way, they will be playing with the big boys at last.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit down to my new favorite cereal.

It's pretty good, you will, er, should, try it.
Bethesda's "Fallout" has a trailer coming in about a month, but I don't think any Fallout fans are really expecting the game to be anything even remotely resembling this, or something that they really want to play. I doubt that they're wrong.
