recycling.. in a way.

After I put a 320 gig laptop HD in my PS3
I had this 60 gig just sitting around.
I dunno why it took me 6 months to figure this out.
I ordered an enclosure for 4 dollars.
Now I can transfer whole TV seasons etc to and fro where ever
I want. It was so cheap because it
didn't come with a fan of any kind. 
It's meant to transfer and store..it's not
something you leave on for hours at a time.
Now I should look into an enclosure for my old
IDE HD from my last computer.
My new one is too current to use it.
It was installed by geek squad but my comp won't
run with it in. This way I can make use of it :)

Draius


I recently purchased Sacred 2:Fallen Angel for PS3.
Think of Diablo 2 & Baldur's gate but with a 200 level cap and a 
map that takes 120 hours to explore. 
It can be played online with 4 people or locally with 2. 
I love it,it's so much fun. 
Now the maps and dungeons aren't randomized
but are you really going to be able to explore a map that large?
Probably not.
There are 6 classes/characters with little to no customisation.
 It's like Diablo 2,you let your armor do that for you.
Speaking of that there are over 150 sets of armor.
Ranging from roman to sci-fi, you see Draius has an Egyptian breast plate on.
I really think everyone should buy this,it's a great game.
With over 600 quests you'll never finish it,and I kinda like that.

Now I should go on about the bad,to be fair.
Local multi player you are forced to use a far off camera.
One player you can zoom in to make it play
like a third person game.
It does take up 5 gigs and the graphics are PC graphics.
It hasn't been re polished for next gen systems.
But they are still nice graphics.
One really bad thing,or at I could be an idiot,
You can't give or receive items to other players.
Now there is a giant chest in every town you can put loot in.
I haven't tried it but my theory is you can drop things in it and other players
may be able to get it. I could be wrong though.
Keep in mind I've only been playing for about 4 hours so this
could be a mistake on my part.

Some stay some go


I was reading an article on returning TV shows today.
A few TV shows might not be coming back. 
One didn't really surprise me though,Dollhouse. 
I personally didn't like Dollhouse I felt it was a rip
off of Dark City. It did have Helo

 in it though,so I was holding out because he's a good actor. 
It's ratings have been shit so it's expected 
to get the ax. If so I won't be buying the first season.


Life could also get cancelled which would be complete bullshit.


It's one of my favorite shows and had the highest ratings in Australian history..
 if that helps at all. 
It was doing a 6.5 when it started now it's getting 3.2 

At least Castle has been going strong. I apparently am the only who I know
who likes it. My girlfriend won't even watch it with me. The first episode was 
a little predictable but that's just the first 
episode. Nathan was great, I don't really care
for the woman in the show. She's ok but she's nothing special.

Oh well, good shows rarely make it. Everyone mainly likes dumbshit where 
women talk to dead people. Or a show about a group of doctors who are whiny
and can't decided who to fuck.

On a roll.


Yay! I did it again. Ok I may have cheated just a bit in getting another platinum trophy. 
For MBM I used a password I found online to get to the last stage :|
So I didn't get there on my own but I did beat him myself.
I feel like I'm on a roll.. I feel like maybe ...I'm a cylon.
You know I've always felt different.

Speaking of cylon's and all wonderful things related to Battlestar Galactica check this out.


I've seen two episodes of Monk over the last few weeks and thought wtf
why haven't I bought that? So as a test I downloaded the first season.
It really is a brilliant show and I plan to buy all the seasons.
But look, the first two episodes of the series have 
Michael Hogan(Saul Tigh of BSG) as the mayor.
If I were anything like my mother I would interpret this as a sign.
My Battlestar Galactica replacement must be Monk :O
