  • 4 weeks later...

currently finishing up Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena (I actually think I like it slightly more than the original, which says a lot).

I'm also back to playing WoW. Gonna hit 80 probably tomorrow, definitely by the day after. I've already got a nice collection of tanking gear and have been running some instances to get back i the groove. I'm glad for dual spec as my guildn't kicking out some key dps and tank members and suspending some others from raiding. I should be able to be doing Ulduar in 2 weeks or so. Despite the bootings they got to Yogg-Saron and couldn't get him down last night.

I'm playing mainly whatever comes through from my list on LoveFilm. :p

At the moment, I've got Shaun White Snowboarding (360) and Resistance 2 here, and I'm still waiting on Civilization Revolution (360) to turn up.

I might send SWS back today as I've done the Triple Slam event, and all I've gotta do left is complete all the main challenges to face Shaun White, which I didn't even remotely do; I just went straight for all the coins. :p Actually, I think I'll keep it for a few more days.

Resistance 2 is pretty good. I didn't think they could improve on it, but somehow they have. I've got a good amount of trophies as well already. I'm on Chapter 4 (I think).

How is it?

It's pretty good imo but you HAVE to install the game onto the hard drive before playing it to fix some frame rate issues (managed to borrow my friend's 60GB HD for this). If I were you try the PC version since I heard it's heaps better than the 360 version :)

Currently finishing off Mirror's Edge. FINALLY I beat the whole game already :)

Finished Two Worlds (360) last week, now I've dusted off Assassin's Creed (360), and I'm probably going to play it to near completion (achievement-wise). I think this is my third time with it (played it on PS3 to about this point and previously started and stopped on 360, this is a fresh run), and I'm on the sixth assassination, with all flags collected and templars killed for all the assassinations that I've finished so far and the kingdom.

Jerusalem still chugs, but the rest of the game is silky smooth compared to PS3.

    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do; get an innate understanding of the night sky or a "quicker" path to astrophotography end results. I put "quicker" in quotes because with my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions, half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, spending a few hours shooting, merging photo sessions, etc. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself.
    • I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
