    Why couldn't Kojima put a "Restart From Last Checkpoint" option into MGS4?

    That's all I'm bitching about these days.

    Oh, I've got more to bitch about, too!

    I got my new basically whole computer yesterday. Set it up, installed windows, updated, no problems all around. In fact, things seemed to be going just a little ... too well.

    Then I installed SupCom to see how the performance was (sort of as a baseline to compare to my old system), and the system started randomly hanging for a couple seconds at a time. After some debug work, ended up checking the system event log, and found out that, of all things, the brand-freaking-new hard drive is bad.

    Yeah, how great is that? Seriously.

    I always recommend you buy Western Digital for primary drives (it's not a Western Digital drive that failed I hope).

    You should code a backdoor into all of your programs so you can kill the applet in event of nonpayment. Unless there are legal repercussions for doing this?


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Must have been user error then .

    My bitch today is about console games ported to PC. Why do companies make so little effort when porting a game? I'm playing Assassin's Creed on the PC with a mouse and keyboard and the controls are obnoxiously unintuitive and sometimes wonky. I don't even like this game enough to splurge on the $20 microsoft wireless receiver that would let me use an xbox360 controller on the PC. I just don't think it's worth it.

    its the same with GoW pc, not only is the game riddled with crashing bugs, the game actually plays tons better with my wired controller, i didn't even try assassin's creed with mouse and keyboard, but it played pretty darn perfect with the controller.

    Plus the controller is also pretty great for grid, and a lot of other games i tried it with, it even played pretty well with crysis.
    Maybe you should just get the wireless receiver, kinda for future games or so, i know at least assassin's creed will play a whole lot better.

    My mini-donuts got stuck in the vending machine again.

    The only reason I even buy stuff from vending machines anymore is so I can feel like I live in Tokyo.

    I want to buy a MacBook Pro but my budget doesn't allow it now. Too many quarters lost to evil vending machinese.

    How much could you have possibly lost to these "evil vending machines"?

    Apparently somewhere in the neighborhood of $2000, looks like someone hasn't learned their lesson.

    You guys don't get it.

    I'm eating for two, and I can tell the father is going to be absent.

    Um okay, but what does that have to do with a Macbook. The donuts I get, if you are indeed "eating for two" I hate euphemisms.

    Picture $2000 worth of crappy donuts and then you would change your mind. Sounds to me like someone is gorging on comfort food.

    Yeah well having a child and being a mom, are two different things.

    Or failing at teh humour. If a girl/woman is an expectant mother, you would think a $2000 computer would be a little lower on the priority list.
