And now they're offering downloads of movies and TV shows in HD. They better come out with a bigger harddrive soon.

Donovan

The reviews are overwhelmingly positive. If ever there was a bad time for my 360 to crap out on me, this is it.

Donovan

In no way do I imagine a DVD could look as good as an HD disc does. I'm just pointing out that since I already have a machine that does upscaling I don't need to worry about whether the HD-DVD player I buy has that feature or not.

Donovan

Are dashupdates for the 360 automatic? You get prompted to install updates when you connect to Xbox Live. I don't think you can decline to install them. The update worked fine for me. It appears to have been an issue with newer 360's and not those that were launch systems. Mine was manufactured in ...

Donovan

I'm waiting on the final word of how good the Xbox HD-DVD drive is. I already have an upscaling DVD player so I won't need that feature in a new drive. A big factor in the VHS vs Beta war was the porn industry's support of VHS. They could decide which format wins this time as well. I guess time will...

Donovan

I haven't tried one yet. USB drives are now big enough to hold an entire operation system, so I'd rather use something like MojoPac or Windows XP Embedded to run all of my applications, not just the few supported by U3.

Donovan

My last two systems have been powered by AMD chips and I've been very pleased with the performance and price. But lately Intel has made amazing strides with their Core 2 Duos. If you're a gamer, or do video encoding, they're the processors of choice (at least until the quad cores come out), but for ...

Donovan

Apparently I was one of "a few" people whose Xbox 360 was effectively ruined by a recent update I downloaded via Xbox Live. I called their support line and was told they'd repair it for $140 since it was out of warranty. I made it very clear that there was no fucking way I was going to pay...

Love the costume, Jess. A chick magnet? Looks like it works.

Donovan

Thanks for the videos. I love the new album.

Your 120gb harddrive will appear to Windows to be just under 112gb. I'm guessing the rest of the "missing" space is hidden, like Martyred said.

Firefox also has a cool extension for BBCode. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/128/ As a caution this ^ does not yet work with the latest version ( 1.5.0.6), only the Beta 1.5 release. BBCodeXtra is a decent replacement. I have a wireless router in my house, and for some as yet unknown reason it ...

DVD Decrypter is no longer being developed so it obviously isn't keeping up with new forms of copy protection. I rarely copy DVDs anymore, so I don't know what the best ripper is, but last I heard DVDFab Decrypter was taking over where it left off.

Donovan

I've been listening to the last album by Lifter Puller and it has much in common with the Hold Steady, especially the lyrics, which is to be expected. There is a harder edge to it, however. I'd compare it to Archers Of Loaf and Pavement. It's worth hearing if you're a fan of Craig Finn. http://www.s...

Donovan

I never heard them until I finally got around to listening to Seperation Sunday late last year, and I absolutely loved it. This new disc isn't blowing my mind in the same way, but it's still terrific. Someone on another board mentioned that their previous band was called Lifter Puller. From what I c...

It's great. Don't be a dick and buy it on Tuesday.

This is both creepy and cool at the same time:

"Little Superstar"

I've been a fan of bands like Kraftwerk and Can for years, but I've just recently starting delving deeper into Krautrock. I like what I've heard from Faust so far.

Donovan

I've heard these before. I think there's video available on YouTube as well.

Donovan

All I know about this show is what I've heard on Stern. Isn't Tommy Lee involved with this? I can only imagine the rest of the band consists of similar has-beens vainly clutching at the rapidly unravelling thread that was once their stardom. I think m2 needs to step away from the TV and go enjoy the...

Donovan

Screw you guys. We're in love.

Donovan

Has anyone seen this yet? Fox has basically washed their hands of this new Mike Judge flick even though it seems to be getting good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. I'm guessing they don't want to offend the Middle Americans who buy their mindless tripe that this movie makes fun of. Of course it isn't pl...

I went to my cousin's wedding. Normally I feel such an event is a waste of a long weekend, but it was lots of fun. Had plenty to drink, reminisced with family I hardly get to see, and got some great ideas for my own "big day".

A+ weekend.

Donovan

It doesn't bother me if someone chooses to spend that kind of money on an ugly, fuel-guzzling truck if they can afford it. I do have a problem with the people who drive with an overblown sense of self-importance that makes them feel like they don't need to use signal lights, or stop for pedestrians....

Donovan

I'm surprised. That's almost good.

Donovan

That's funny. I had the same reaction when I saw they were doing a remake.

Donovan

I was wrong, this is the best video ever... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFGBZRprwKI

Now, this time just the girls.

Imogen Heap - Hide And Seek

Silversun Pickups - Kissing Families

Best. Video. Ever.

Chad VanGaalen - Flower Gardens Rock!

Except with GTA you never had to do the missions. This game needs a free-play mode from the start, for people like me who don't want to play the (stupidly difficult) story missions. I just want to kill zombies; Is that so wrong?

Now that I know Sendspace limits the number of simultaneous downloads of a file I won't just copy a link from another board. This one should work for anyone who hasn't downloaded it from BSmack's torrent site: http://www.sendspace.com/file/o93j9n Oh, I should mention this album really doesn't do muc...

Well, that's fuckin' lame.

It works fine for me. Sendspace links don't expire until they've been inactive for a week.

The new Decemberists album has leaked:

Code: Select all

It's not quite as quirky as previous efforts, but the second song sounds very, very, very much like Yes. Dinsdale will appresh.

My fiancee turned me on to Kurosawa, although I had seen Seven Samurai previously. I was quite surprised to find out she was a fan, but she was quick to point out he did a lot more than Samurai flicks. We most recently watched Red Beard (or whatever it's called in Japanese) which was quite intense. ...

Donovan

They're playing here on Tuesday but I only found out about the show the other day, so I'll likely miss it. Hopefully not though, since they are great live.

Donovan

I haven't even listened to it yet, but I know PSUFAN will want to hear it.

I love Takashi Miike movies.

The former singer for Love passed away today after battling leukemia. He had his ups and downs, but he left us with some great music that inspired me greatly.
