Thanks for the alert, Lauguu! I'm gonna go watch it in a minute!

BTW, on an unrelated note, my 360 came back from Microsoft today!!! :) It was picked up, repaired, and shipped back to me in less than a fortnight! That's a bloody record (note, it came from Frankfurt, Germany)! :D

Would anyone be up for a few MGO Matches this weekend ?

I'll give it a go.

I'll be out fri or sat night, or maybe both. Probably just one of the nights though.

I don't think I'll be able to get MGS4 on release.

I can afford it, I guess. But I don't think I'll be able to make ends meet this month if I get it! Haha.

Damn. I shouldntve bought that iPod Nano 8G for my friend. :D

Just completed MGS2 about 10 minutes ago ... let's see if I can start and complete MGS3 by tomorrow!

I'll be impressed if you do! MGS3 is a whole different game compared to the others. It's also the longest in the entire series (in my opinion). If you've played it before, you'll probably know what to to when you come across the end if you didn't kill him earlier! Simply change the date on your PS2 clock about a week forward, then play the game, and he has died of old age! :D

Are those Gioteck triggers? Are they good? I might get some for my controller.

I think so, yeah. Got them off of a magazine ages ago. Great improvement for driving games (though still not as good as the 360 pad)

gawd imo that's ugly with bright colours and dark buttons/sticks look ugly :\

I was debating on whether or not to get a black one (ruled silver out straight away) I quite like the contrasting colours.

I'll probably end up modding it with some blue LED's too.

Am i the only one who bought a black DS3? The console is black so a black DS3 makes sense and its cheaper.

I like the fact that it's different, for a start I know which one to grab out of the box at a glance.

Not sure how much cheaper a black one would have been, I got this for ?33.96 delivered.

I must say, I'm not that impressed with the rumble though, I was just playing the GRiD demo, and it's really weak compared to GRiD on the 360:((

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
