And with a small program, it can be easily installed and browsed. I think the next step is a way to get a higher capacity drive into the system (in other words, creating a partition compatible with it using similar software on another SATA drive).
At any rate, my main interest right now is getting my old XBox saves onto the new system. Unfortunatly, the method they have now has some major problems (for example, the need for certain hardware and the inability to transfer certain saves that are "locked"). I suppose this MIGHT support the XBox 1 hard disk as well? That would make things easier if I gut my XBox for the hard disk within.
Of course in the end MS just needs to provide a software solution to this problem. It is well within their capability to do so. As I described earlier, MS screwed up by making the new card ports on the 360 incompatible with the original (especially since there are in fact 64 MB memory cards for the original box), but they can make up for that now. Just patch both the 360 and the original XBox with a new option called "link to XBox/XBox 360" where it will attempt to find the opposing system somewhere on the local network (just like both find other systems in system link mode in various games), and once this occurs, the user simply OK's the link on both systems and goes to whatever system they want to send files to and moves/copies all the data they want over (move will be available for ALL data, copy only for data that is not "data locked"). Bam, problem solved and data transferred. I'm really surprised they haven't already done this. Did they fire everyone who has access to what's needed to patch the original XBox at some point?
Wii-exclusive game from the maker of Killer 7. Looks just as stylish... Video available (for download), click the link now! (or whenever the site starts working again, it seems to be having bandwidth issues...)
You know how every time a company does something right they later change their minds? No? Neither do I, but in this case Blizzard apparently thought of this great idea. I'm not sure how this will actually affect those who play the game, but what they are doing is basically giving all the faction specific classes to the other side, so there is no longer any real difference between each side.
Nice one Blizzard. Caved into idiots complaining eh? This is basically like taking a game like Starcraft and just giving every side all the other side's units and abilities, in other words taking a game with unique and original groups you pick from to battle in a way that really makes Starcraft stand out from everything that came before and turn it into a single group with different skins.
I dunno, there may be more to this, maybe Blizzard was just sick of actually balancing the differences between the two groups but this is just lazy. Not the sort of thing I would think Blizzard would do.
Quote:"The Battle of Hoth is a huge blast of spectacle and action to kick-start the movie, and it was an absolute joy to bring this vast battle to life in LEGO," says Jonathan Smith, director at TT Games Publishing. "The AT-ATs had a massive impact on me when I first saw the film as a child, and their existing LEGO toy models - as well as the AT-STs and of course the snowspeeder - are just so cool. We had a lot of fun creating a Hoth battlefield for two players to zoom around on simultaneously, and we're really proud of the storytelling sequences too."
Having only fought this battle in videogames approximately five thousand times before, I say it's high time for it to finally get the attention it deserves...
Read this! Pathetic lowlife A pretends to be an authority figure over the phone to get a manager at some fast food restaurant to strip search an employee.
Pathetic lowlife B is the manager who actually decided to believe someone on the sheer basis that they claimed to be an authority figure, no need for evidence (I mean hey, if they ARE an authority figure, they don't need to provide evidence, or some idoitic "logic" like that).
Pathetic lowlife C is the rest of the employees who didn't do anything out of fear of defying the manager.
Even the victim of this showed signs of being too complient for her own good.
This is a natural part of the human psyche, but another part of our psychology is the ability to override this when we take the time to think about the situation. Just because we ARE this weak doesn't mean we shouldn't try to stop being like this. I wear glasses because I refused to accept my genetic limitations.
In other words, people are idiots but they don't have to be. This reflects badly on the entire species.
