Death of a P2
02.28.09 (11:23 am)   [edit]

We had a good 11 months, P2. The Samsung P2 showed me that there's more to music than just music. With each subtle reverberation up to the intense music of Metallica, the P2 quickly made me an audiophile. It defined my music tastes, I'm not just a drifter anymore, wandering in between whatever sounds good.
It has survived numerous falls, a ghastly chip in it's armor, and it has kept on giving me great sound quality. Now, without even the slightest sign that it was going to die, the headphone jack became loose, rendering what used to be near perfect sound quality to a crackling mess a little reminiscent of the glory days.

I got it last March for my birthday, and it lasted 11 months, just a few weeks short of a one year anniversary.
So now I'm feeling pretty depressed about it, but still looking forward to what should be a sturdier P3 coming out in May.

The Samsung P3
02.25.09 (8:01 pm)   [edit]

Hmm.. My birthday is fast approaching, and I'm coming across some pretty tough decisions.
I have a Samsung P2, albeit cracked and damaged from multiple drops, and I don't really know if I'm gonna want to upgrade to a P3 when it comes out in May, here in Canada. According to some forum members, the P3 is not that much of an improvement over the already brilliant P2, it comes with a few more features, features that the P2 will never get, no mtter how many firmware upgrades you give it.

I'mm probably have a lot of birthday money to blow on headphones, and if the P3 has better sound quality than a P2, I'm getting it.
The only thing out of the question is an Ipod Touch. I refuse to get any Apple products, though I pretty much cheated myself with an iPhone.

The Legendary Cars in Burnout Paradise
02.21.09 (10:25 am)   [edit]
I only got the Jansen P12 88 Special (hovercar) and the Carson GT Nighthawk (KITT), and many thanks to Runny from my friends list on the Playstation Network for them. The hovercar is 4 bucks Canadian, and that's just... Overpriced. The rest of the cars were 2 bucks, but this is 200% the price of the other cars for a reason: It's a bloody hovercar! There's not much to say about them because they're just plain frakkin' awesome! A more in-depth post as soon as I get on the computer.

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen Official Trailer
02.17.09 (8:25 pm)   [edit]

Autobots have their work cut out for them!

Whoa. There are only a few words in the english language to describe how totally awesome that was...Holy [BLEEPer][BLEEPing][BLEEP ] Crap!
So here's my overview!

The intensity builds almost every second of the trailer, finally leading up to the dramatic fight teaser at the end with Optimus Prime's face getting crushed in--slooow motion. There is a huge-ass decepticon, in a 4:1 height ratio to Optimus, wow! He like runs on one wheel [Think: Unicycle] and he totally smashed a bridge with the same ease that Bonecrusher had with the bus in the first movie. There's a Decepticon the same size as Optimus who smashed him up pretty bad, in slow motion he got his visor whacked off his face, shattering into a few sprinkles of metal.
There was also an Audi R8 Decepticon... Wallet burning potential, anyone? Hmm?

They kept the designs for the robots looking the same as the first movie, which i s a good thing; I won't have to buy 50 different versions of Bumblebee and the troop.

The movie releases June 29, a mere... 129 days away.

Here are some images I took of the face melting blow on Optimus'.. Well, face!


 

 

 

Whoa... I didn't take these in HD, so you can imaging how it looked on my computer screen. I'm downloading this on the Playstation 3!

LittleBigPlanet Update 1.09
02.14.09 (4:36 pm)   [edit]

Enough of that loneliness crap... Let's get to what really matters.
Media Molecule (or Sony, actually) released the 1.09/'Edam' patch for LittleBigPlanet at around 9.41pm GMT. It is 23Mb in size.

It doesn't feature that over the net level editing that has been leaked a while back yet, and since it's only 23 mb, you pretty much already know that this patch is only to fix some bugs. So, here's what's included in the update, from Sony's vero own PSBlog.

"Going live later today is Update 1.09 - a bit earlier than expected, but we’re sure you won’t mind. This update contains some minor adjustments plus addresses the following bug fixes:

  • ‘Failed to save profile’ message not being displayed when a user’s profile is full.
  • Object Capture Bug: switch connectors being deleted when an object is captured.
  • Failed to load profile issue: where the user is thrown out to the XMB due to a texture that is not registered in their profile being present in their pod.
  • Text not displaying in the text chat window.
  • Slow rewind due to moderation check.
  • Save file corruption which caused the game to crash when placing any object in an emitter in any level."

Wolverine- The Header
02.05.09 (10:17 pm)   [edit]

A new header! Whoopee!

Ok, this isn't a really original design, as I got the image from Google and just Photoshopped some colors into it.
So thanks to the person who made the original drawing...

By the way, the Wolverine movie and game is coming on May 1st! This is awesome news... I'll elaborate more tomorrow, as I gotta go to sleep!
Tomorrow is also Friday, the release of the Feb. 6th Burnout Paradise Update 1.60! Elaboration on that as well, tomorrow!
I heard there were some mishaps with the in-game browser, but is now fixed, I think...

2 More Days! Until Burnout Paradise Update!
02.04.09 (7:42 pm)   [edit]

On Friday, don't look for me at the mall. Don't look for me on the internet. Don't even look for me on my blog! Look for me in Paradise City! Yeah!
It's the new Burnout Paradise free update to keep us fans from getting bored, and good god, did Criterion ever deliver.

If you've been keeping up with my blog the last few months, you know how hyped I was for the bikes pack. While this particular update doesn't break any new ground like the bikes pack, it's full of necessary fixes, and even a complete revamping of the Burnout cars system. Every car runs differently now!They also added a restart option, something they know the fans have been asking politely (bitching, I mean) for since they shipped the game in January '08.

It's weird, they're making this game so easy! But weird isn't bad. In this case, it's awesome! This update is sure to attract a wider audience, probably those that were hesitant to go out and buy Paradise the first few months of release. They made barrel rolls easier to land, but that's probably for the newbs...
Apparently, one of Criterion Games' new catchphrases is.. 'Burnout Paradise, easy to play, but hard to master!'

Well... Keep playing, Burnout-ers!

Great Job, Sony, you just totally screwed your Canadian players.

Craigslist is my last hope for these things, and I need them soon because the Burnout Paradise Legendary Cars pack... Gotta get hovercar.. Gotta get hovercar... Gotta get hovercar...
