ground shipping...the post office doesn't even do that anymore.

jianbing - i know the feeling! but didn't realize you were off so long...

Haha. Yeah, it was taking too much time away from lots of other things in my life. I had planned on going a year, but I broke down :p

Got a TON of games to catch up on now though. I have RE5, Bionic Commando, and Mirrors Edge all sitting here, but I can drag myself away from Tales of Vespiria right now :laugh:

Had some free time, but didn't want to get into big games, so I loaded up my Arcade compilation and got a few more achievements with Bejeweled, Geometry Wars and Outpost Kaloki X, so now I'm over 28K, w00t!

Rookas, personally i think it's not worth the aggravation. let it go my friend!

Are you kidding? I'm having a great time with it, haven't played Bioshock in ages and it's really an amazing game. The vita chambers always made the game feel cheap. As long as you save frequently it's not very difficult. I'm already running errands for Sander Cohen, moving along quite nicely. I just now got the crossbow, which makes the Big Daddies much easier to drop, but I've already killed 6 or 7 of them with grenades/shotty. I remember the game being much harder, but I was using a much smaller TV at that time. Gamefly finally shipped Wolverine to me, and I'm thinking of actually purchasing Prototype (in a store no less, haven't done that in a long time). My score should be climbing again soon, I just had to take care of that annoying 1000/1100 in Bioshock!

I've nearly hit 50,000 points, thanks to a few more achievements on Shaun White Snowboarding last night. I want to finish the main quest at least before I send it back to LoveFilm, then I'm gonna get to work on Resistance 2 on the PS3.

Dang man... slow down! Not even giving me a chance to catch up :p

didn't mean Bioshock as a whole, just that achievement. PLUS, i just finished replaying it, took care of all the little sisters...and as reported online, that 40GS for handling all the LS's didn't come on. Oh well.

don't get me started on Gamefly...what a bunch of dimwits. Gaming is a buyer's hobby, i'm sorry to say.

Ouch... in that case, I concede :|

Yeah, I thought it would be the same as last time I went for that achievement: play for a few hours and then put in call of duty. I really got sucked into it this time, been playing for a few days straight. I'll probably beat the game when I get home from work later, the end is tough but a lot of fun.

After finishing Outpost Kaloki X and tired of getting frustrated with Geometry Wars, I loaded up Bioshock and started my Brass Balls run. Only played for about an hour because it's time to get some shut eye. I tried to see if perhaps I could go for the last achievement in Boom Boom Rocket, but 5 laps on endurance on Hard is, well, very hard! Beating any COD game on Veteran is easier than that :(

    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

      Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
