I've seen some low end homebrew kits in stores, but I don't think they were quite that cheap. My understanding is that they're good for beginners, but that if you're going to get serious about it you'll want to put a bit more money into good gear. It's like everything else, I guess.

Get Jane Doe by Converge, it's probably their best work. The rest of their discography is good too but that's where they peaked. They get labeled as "metallic hardcore" but don't mistake them for some shit band with tight jeans and bad haircuts singing about ex-girlfriends over a muted low-E...

At around 10:30 I went to grab falafel and I could hear it from my apartment. I live on the other side of downtown from the stadium. I would have loved to go but I never spend more than $50 on concert tickets unless it's an all-day thing. Edit: A friend just sent me this. I'm probably one of...

It ran pretty good, actually, but it wasn't a straight port. It was scaled back, there were some slight changes made, not as many as you would expect but still a few. Lower resolution, etc. But it ran good on the XBox hardware. It's just a shame it wasn't a better game.

What the fuck are you talking about? Apple doesn't lock you out of installing apps or anything else on Macs.

No they didn't. When it was new, the N810 ran for over $500 in Canada, and it was comparably priced in the US. You can get some pretty decent unlocked phones in that price range or slightly more, and they have the advantage of being able to make calls (skype doesn't count, you can get that on a...

So it looks like hard drives are still replaceable with off-the-shelf drives. That answers my biggest concern. But goity's BS aside, losing the ability to load Linux is a downside, and the fact that there is still no PS2 BC is ridiculous. I'll still probably pick one of these up because the...

Would be nice if they were able to bring back PS2 backwards compatibility. Also, apparently you can't install Linux on this one, which is a letdown. Any word on whether the hard drive is replaceable? Depending on whether or not it comes bundled with a pack-in game or two, I think this is the...

On PS3? You should be able to install Linux and then just install whatever the Spectrum emulator is for that. I'm sure there's one in the repos somewhere. I found one in the Ubuntu repos in 5 seconds (though, I haven't tried it, it might be shitty.)

MAME isn't GPL-ed. The license they use can be found here. It specifically prohibits profiting from distributing MAME or anything derived from it. So yes, they have a leg to stand on, though it's a shaky one. But it's still a dick move by them, as it's not like Zod is selling MAME to people. He...

I never played that version. I asked my mom for a 3DO for Christmas one year, she took a look at the price and laughed at me. :( But I thought the PSX version was crap, and I was under the impression that it was based on the 3DO one. Whatever, I guess if other people enjoyed it, that's good for...

There's a version of Pidgin available for it, works great. I used it on my N800 for ages. That should cover pretty much any messaging service she'll want to use, though I'm not sure if the N8x0 version of Pidgin has Facebook Chat. Not sure if that's important to you.

All great games, but I'm in no hurry to see another Road Rash game. The series has sucked ever since it moved off of the Genesis/MD into the 32-bit generation of consoles. Another personal favourite is Al Unser Jr.'s Turbo Racing for NES. It was the first racing game I played, on the suggestion...

I never said you should be excited.

They're a company, what do you expect? "Yeah, it plays videos and stuff. It's okay I guess. Whatever. Meh."

The News are currently on tour along the west coast of the United States. I don't really check their website that often though, so I don't know how long it's been since they posted that. Maybe 13 days is correct.

Much like Transformers, the comics were better than the cartoon. And I'm guessing that, like TF, the cartoon will be way better than the movie.

Wow, there's a whole lot of hate for this thing here. I guess I'm the only one who's interested in an Android-based iPod Touch competitor with expandable storage?

At work, I just re-installed Windows on a 4-year old machine only to find that it had no graphics, audio, or (most importantly) ethernet drivers installed by default. The whole thing is standard Intel parts, nothing fancy or exotic. On a Linux install, all of these would work out of the box (I...

Then it makes sense to get a separate card for development. You can get a fast 1GB card for next to nothing these days, and you're probably not going to need more than that for development. Then you can use a slower, bigger card for stuff that's not likely to get changed out very often, like big...
