STAR GET.

28 10 2007

Well I’ve found another reason for begging my parents for a Wii for Christmas this year: Super Mario Galaxy. The game looks ridiculously fun, and the graphics are amazing. Have a look at the, you’ll see what I mean.

Well I got The Orange Box Wednesday and I’ve been playing Portal and Team Fortress 2 quite a bit. Portal is ridiculously amazing, and TF2 is just plain fun. I haven’t gotten around to HL2: Episode Two because my pc currently can’t run it and I haven’t finished the original HL2 or Episode One (thanks to the many fuckups with steam accounts and my pc needing a little bit of work to be able to run the games at a good frame rate at a decent resolution). And while we’re on the subject of my pc needing work: I ordered my new GeForce 7600GT on Friday so I should be getting that this Wednesday, so be prepared for a blog post about that (if I ever remember to do it and I’m not constantly playing the orange box).

Zune News

2 10 2007

Well Microsoft officially announced the new 80 GB and Flash (8 GB and 4 GB model) Zunes. So this has led me to have an orgasm of delight because all of the new software-side features are going to be added to the current Zune, Which isn’t going anywhere: It’s been rebranded as the Zune 30. All 3 new Zunes use the new touch sensitive directional pad (Called a Zune Pad). Here’s a list of new features and fixes coming to the Zune players:

  1. Wi-Fi Syncing
  2. Podcast support (FINALLY!!!)
  3. Media Center compatibility (allows TV shows to be synced)
  4. Native support for h.264 and MPEG-4 (Still no DivX but it’s progress)
  5. Redesigned Interface for the devices and new Zune Software (Built from the ground up; It’s no longer based on Windows Media Player 11.)
  6. DRM-Free Downloads
  7. 3×3 Restriction has been edited for shared songs: You can keep the files as long as you want, but you can still only play those 3 times.
  8. All accessories for the current Zune work with the new Zunes and vise versa

So yeah I’m happy about this as I’m a proud Zune owner. They’re supposed to be coming out sometime in November (along with the new updates for the current Zune and software), although an exact release date hasn’t been set.
