:woot:

So much gaming these next few weeks... Gears of War 3, The Gunstringer, Fruit Ninja Kinect, Worms 2 DLC... man, I wish I didn't have to write a 50-page paper by October for a grad school class. :laugh:

Haha, so glad I finished all of my coursework last year :laugh: .

Reviews are looking good across the board. Only read through two of them in their entirety (Destructoid's review and Ars Technica's review). I don't want to risk running into spoilers for a game that I have had pre-ordered ever since the beta.

First 45mins. with IGN Commentary

There might/will be spoilers here. Even I avoided watching it. The suspense is killing me. 4 Days to go.

wow nice reviews, is it coming out a couple of days early maybe? would be nice to have it for the weekend...

Some random no name shops broke the street date, however its very unlikely your local shop will (going by shops here anyway!). If you see no problem with downloading a game early you pre-ordered then its been out there for over a week now...

Just ordered Epic Edition, I was going to order the standard one but the Marcus's statue had me sold and it would look really cool sitting right next to my Halo Reach statue

I am hopefully getting the EE aswell. :D

1 Hour of Horde mode.

^unfortunately, Best Buys over here in Canada don't have Pre orders for limited/special editions but they have on standard copies. I have to line up early (since no Midnight Madness) to upgrade to EE that day.

240 MSP for a skin set (all 5 weapons) if it's not animated

320 MSP for an animated set

1200 MSP for a specific weapon collection (ie: all lancers, all hammerbursts, etc)

3600 MSP for the whole set (all 22 with some small discount)

I dunno.. Sooo freaking expensive. Not sure if want at all.

Yeah, those prices are a bit high. That being said, the rainbow skin looks awfully tempting, if only because it reminds me of that Penny-Arcade comic from a few years ago. I definitely won't be getting the full collection though. If my math is correct, I think that's roughly $51.40 CDN.

Indeed I will be doing the same, since I want a Limited Edition (not Epic). Hopefully they have a lot of them.

Did you Pre-order? You can get a Gears 3 Toque , 800 Rewardzone points and Mechanic Baird! Not to mention you might also get a Gears 3 T-Shirt if you're in line. Remember only 25LEs and 15EEs at each store.

I'm not buying the whole bundle. Maybe just one or 2 of the animated sets. Which are around $4 each that should come to $8 for 10 weapon skins, but 2 sets.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
