⇒ i need gopher chucks!

the days and nights go on and on. longer and longer. it's all so difficult and what for? when we die we fade away exccept in the minds of those who remember us. But then they die and the ones who remember them also die in time. In the end we all fade into obscurity. So why do anything at all? To generate the chemical reaction which we call 'happiness'? What is the reason we do anything? Is this the true question to be considered when asking the meaning of life? I'm sorry. I'm all fatalistic, melodramatic and suffering from an inadequate-existentialist-persecution-despair-quasi-angst-complex.

KYSG put out a new video! Sean time! ooooooooh-yeah! Now get onto the Oro/Yun vid!

⇒ chu chu ch-chu chu chu ch-chu chuuu

happy bday to the mighty hard drive. engadget hopes for a 1 TB beast by 2056. I'm more optimistic and expect a 1YB bad boy by then! To put things in perspective, 1YB may be the equivalent of "all words ever spoken by human beings" 1 2 3 Also check this out. it's something like 12 PB of storage

Crikey! Google apparently used to use 4 petabytes of RAM! on that note, try on Apple MacPro's 16 Gigs!

this is more or less how Google works | hot DSLR! woot | intel not happy | iPod unboxing | intel 'Clovertown' quad-core! I see, with the rate of increase in processing power and micronisation, a singularity will soon be reached a la 2001's Monolith | Clovertown on a MAC | Auto-parking. Seriously, how pathetic are you if you can't park your car? | Bluetooth alternative usage | ooh, deluxe xbox pad. | accompanying 'deluxe' console and here | set-top future?. While far from clear domination, i do see Apple carving out a decent slice of this market given their current standing | Gettin' WIGI wit it | Flame on! | Bad habit gaming goodness

Now why didn't this happen while i was studying the media? Poor Wawa...I'd probably rather get eaten than saved by Naomi Robson though.



Priceless sign. What on earth could S.O.Y. mean? =)

they got their priorities in order i see.

Top 10 game controllers-->Got #10, desire #9, #8&7 I don't care, have Sega Master System equivalent of #6, #5 still makes me chuckle, #4-go with full metal, not that foam crap, #3-I may get, #2-okay i guess, #1-impressive but overrated. Where's the drum kit for drummania? or chainsaw RE4 controller? meh!

Theo, old boy. Looks like I am gonna win our little betto. The official word is 19th november is wii-day. And they're going for $250 US. So given the current $ AUD-$US exchange of approximately $1AUD = $0.76 US, $250US = $328.947 But the bet aint ova for you, our arrangement was the Aussie price and release, not US. Still, this gives me a clear edge. Hoo-ha!

this is hilarious the Nintendo DS = Deli Sandwich and the Wii = Fruiit.

every day is a new day...I! Feel so alive! For the very first time! I can't deny! I feel so alive...

so my rage has subsided-for now, but I stand by my choices.

In global news, BAFTA have released the nominations for video games http://www.bafta.org/site/page413.html My personal picks are: Brain Training, Guitar hero, Katamari! New Super Mario Bros and Trauma Center. I can't say I've played most of these games, but from specifications and reviews, those are my picks. Maybe throw in Shadow of Colossus. Maybe...

Finally the SED re-rears its expensive head...http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/mass-market-sed-hdtvs-by-2008/

Robo-handshaker. Now make a police version and dub him 'Murphy' http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/emiew-bot-now-able-to-mingle-without-maiming/

new iPods and iTunes today! http://www.apple.com/au/itunes/ Woah! they managed to reduce the size of the iPod nano and shuffle! wtf! i guess the iPod flea http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1191211792582253644 might soon be a reality tee-hee. I remember reading a mock-article on what to do 'in the case of inhaling your computer'. I guess the shoe's on the other foot now...

⇒ non-stop uphill battle

that's what this whole year has felt like to me...Almost everything I've done has been for a GOOD reason. Good intentions as always blow up in your face. Why me? Why now? Every struggle I've been through just seems like the beginning of another trouble-leading into another-leading into another-leading into another...

problems at home. problems at uni. problems at work. problems with friends. problems with money. it never ends!

I swear, my pops can ruin the entire month for me. a single moment can do it. What an asshole. When you want it your way, it just has to be your way. What about other people's needs? Damn you. I liked things better when you were in Canberra and I was here. I didn't miss you at all. You can never be happy can you? You just have to be mad at at least one person. What's wrong with you?

This is not good for my anger management. I think, in my entire life, 70% of my stress/rage is the result of your direct or indirect involvement...

I know I'm so angry and full of rage on the inside but I had hope and tried to be calm and peaceful but it won't work and will never work as long as I'm around you. I made a promise at the start of this year and I intend to keep it: I'm out of here come December-January. You've driven me out of home. I don't want to live here anymore.


On a brighter note, Samsung is doing some crazy things with solid-state memory devices--see the previous post too. Jebus! look at what they did to the phone!

don't yell at me. don't tell me what to do. yes, you are my father (we all know by now, so why do you keep asking me?) stay out of my face and i'll stay out of yours.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCK!

ANGRY!O!KO!KOKEOJ!O@IOJFNMQKVDJNVGRRRRGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRKLW231 DAMM YOU! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCk!!!!!!!
If my keyboard weren't so damn attractive and innocent, I'd have slammed it into a braille unit by now!

⇒ encore


scary mario

more scary videogame art here

reminding you to take meds | eWear | miglia tvmax | Miglia mini | Lego chain-rubberband gun | little BIG memory | touch panel | latest intel chips

top 10 3rd-party games apparently--the list excludes Rare's N64 brilliance (2nd party) but Capcom's Streetfighter games are mysteriously absent-wtf?..go tony hawk 2!...
other comments i agree with: "How is tekken 3 so high up. I mean..good game, but not nearly deserving of such high standing Also, just goes to show: GTA = hideously overrated good game idea, executed pretty well, but not THAT well. (3 spots of the top 10?!)" | "Atleast something beat out that shitty Namco fighter Tekken..Oh. Interesting list, though." | "... MvC2 was too hyped up. But no Capcom fighting games whatsoever is major bullshit" | "^Pince, im with you.
what the heck is tekken up there for? and for that matter tony hawk? and yeah, GTA Blows. talk about overrated. boo, get it outta here. re4 FTW. i like the cumulative list much better" | "Soul Calibur and RE4 (GC version) are the only games there that will be remembered in years to come" | "And Resident Evil 4 was vastly superior on GCN, but biased magazines (who are biased because most of their readership are Sony owners to they cow-tow to them eg EGM, Gamespot) and single format publications inflated the score of the (very poor by comparison) PS2 port." | my two cents? Soul Cal-okay, tekken3-wtf?, RE4-damn right!, GTA series-overrated, MGS2-only played substance but was throroughly disappointed, Tony Hawk-hell yeah!, MGS3-soooon..., KOTOR-can't say cause i haven't played...thank god the overrated tripe known as FFX didn't make the list...piece of shi...

another top 10 list:
again: "Rofl Tekken. Agreeable list, otherwise." | " Except for Halo the list is fine. There are millions of games better than Halo. I'm surprised Halo 2 isn't ranked higher than Halo (you know it's better!)" | [i semi-agree with this one->] "Number one Ocarina of Time wasn't that great of a game not good enought to get an almost perfect rating. Also Tekken 3?! OMFG tekken is the worst thing to ever happen to fighting games and it sickens me that they continue making more. Now Goldeneye deserves it that's a great game but I think there missing some stellar games on there that makes it seem kind of biased" [tekken 5's ok, nowhere near 3rd strike in fun, Zelda was fun but I had more fun with Mario64, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Tony Hawk, etc...]

amazing collection:
they all look like they're pretty well cared for. This guy has a seems to have a head start on me though (consoles before 1989-or the year i began conscious thought)
heres my collection (shared with my bro): Sega Master System 2 [1990-1995], Nintendo Entertainment System [1991], Sega Mega Drive 2 [1992-1999], Nintendo 64 [1997-2006], Nintendo Gameboy Color [1998-2001], Nintendo Gamecube [2002- ], Sega Dreamcast [2002- ], Sony Playstation 2 [2004- ], 2 Wintel PCs [1996- ], Apple MAC Powerbook [2004- ], Nintendo DS [2006- ], possibly a few more additions soon...

not too shabby, eh? It took a long time (15+ years) and a shared expense between me and my bro to get this...

OMG! this guy takes the cake...i've seen video game stores with smaller collections! too bad he don't have any arcade cabinets...


can i get an encore? do you want more? what the hell you waiting for? so one last time i need y'all to roar...

⇒ i %E2%99%A5 free time!

i %E2%99%A5 huckabees aka 'I (heart) Huckabees'--a very strange but funny film asking the question: 'what is this?'. highly recommended, i dig its quirkiness. we are all interconnected and the same, yet different. if only...

editing the film's visuals with 3 macs..."(the) three young men created all of the film's visual effects on just three Macintosh G5 computers loaded with Adobe After Effects software..."

another brilliant pic about normal life--what's eating gilbert grape? a great pic, lot of characters with depth...DiCaprio was robbed of an Oscar here, just like Ed Norton was robbed twice for Primal Fear and American History X.

i must watch this film: the Seventh Seal. A knight returning home from the crusades encounters an embodiment of Death and challenges (is challenged?) to a game of Chess.

another great pic, Gattaca--uplifting and depressing at the same time...a great story with interesting ideas about the future. Michael Nyman's score is excellent-it's definetly one of my favourits...strangely about the future, the navigators (astronauts) all travel into space in business suits yet they are set to explore an uninhabited moon...don'tcha think they should bring some protective gear just in case?

that's not the sony way--LOL
