So my first 360 RRoD'd (imagine that). When I plugged my harddrive into my new one, all my downloadable games were reverted back to demos even though I had the whole game downloaded. My game add-on DLC also stopped working.

I contacted XBox Live technical support about the issue. They said that the DRM rights were still linked to my old console, and gave me a link to try to correct the problem.

And guess what? 404!

Does anyone have any clues on how to fix this? I miss playing Shadow Complex.

Entertainment / PlayStation Home
« on: November 27, 2008, 01:18:54 PM »
I was accepted as a beta tester for Home yesterday, and I'm quite impressed. Some things (like stores in the mall area) haven't been implemented yet, but there is now an easy way to meet other players on the PlayStation Network.

You can fully customize your character's look (mine looks exactly like me), but clothing options are limited, so far.

And really, other than bowling, pool, and a few scattered arcade machines, there really isn't anything to do besides talk to other people. But this is still in beta, so more features will be coming soon. Hopefully.

Entertainment / SPORE
« on: September 08, 2008, 05:38:11 AM »
Well, there's one weekend wasted.

I bought the game Friday, and absolutely fell in love. Starting as a little single-cell brainless thing, to guide your little critter to sentience, then civilization. If you've already messed with the Creature Creator, there are several different types of creators bundled with the full game, including cars, ships, planes, and spaceships. Eventually, your little race becomes galactically dominant, sending out it's DNA in the form of an asteroid, barreling through space, just waiting for another lifeless little planet to start all over.

Anarchy / Balisong State Laws
« on: August 28, 2008, 03:48:23 PM »
I know that a basilong (also referred to as a "Butterfly Knife") is legal here in PA, but I was wondering which states consider it illegal. Just so I know which states I "can't" live in.

EDIT: Below is mine.

Meet the newest geek, Vanessa Renee Honabarger, born 6-26-2008 at 6:15 AM. She weighed 9 lbs., and measured at 21 3/4" in length. I just brought her home about an hour ago.

Entertainment / It took blizzard long enough.

What am I talking about? Most people know about my over-excitedness when it comes to new games, and this time is no different!

I feel like a rube asking, but if it's 7:00 PM in Vegas, what time is it in the Eastern zone?

Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / .avi Combination
« on: May 05, 2008, 04:29:10 PM »
Okay, I ripped a DVD to my computer, but it's in 2 different files. One is 702 mb, the other is 272 mb. What I want to do is combine the two back into one video file. Does anyone know of a program that can do that?

Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / PS3 + Wireless?
« on: January 27, 2008, 11:08:56 AM »
I got a PS3 yesterday. Not, my computer already has an 802.11 G wireless receiver, and I was wondering which router would be the best way to go.

There's one at a store here in my area, for like $40, that would connect with my receiver in my comp, but I'm not so sure with the PS3.

Does anyone have any pointers?

Anarchy / My Greatest Problems With The Christmas Season
« on: December 15, 2007, 08:06:00 PM »
Okay, so yesterday I weat to WalMart to get one last X-Mas present. When I first entered the doors, I had to shake my head. I saw a 6-year-old, talking on a Motorola Razor cell phone. I thought to myself: "What a sad age we live in."

Later, in the same sotre, I was getting food for my rat, when I decided to walk through the toy isle. The traditional board games (games like Monopoly and Scrabble , which had their separate isle) was completely empty.

When I went to check out, the front registeres were all full, so I make the decision to go to Electronics to check out, so as to get the hell out of there. But, electronics was completely swamped, making my wait 5 minutes longer than it would have been if I had used a self-checkout.

Does anyone else see something wrong with this?

Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Image Files?
« on: July 27, 2007, 09:34:13 AM »
Okay, so I "aquired" what I think are the images of a 2-disk game. Each "disk" has 2 files:

[blah-blah-blah].mdf
[blah-blah-blah].mds

The .mdf one is 726 Mb, ad the .mds one is only 486 bytes.

Would anyone know what program to use to restore these images to a CD?

Time to ask that age-old question again.

Anarchy / And another one...
« on: May 20, 2007, 11:34:41 AM »
Just found out at 8:30 in the morning. I'm having another kid. That makes three. Time for the stress to really begin. Tracy's a pain in the ass when she's pregnant.

I can honestly say though, I'm happy. :-)

My badass desktop, that is.

4.3 gHz Intel Duo processor, 2 GB DDR2RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 video card, Window XP Media Center Edition.
AND JUST INSTALLED:
CD-RW/DVD-RW combo drive with Lightscribe
802.11 Wireless G receiver


With a badass Dolby 5.1 Digitl Surround system that I only paid $20 for...

I'm happy.

Anarchy / PSP Emulation
« on: February 06, 2007, 12:25:29 PM »
I recently bought a PSP, and found various emulators(NES,SNES) online for it. Problem is, I can't get any of them to work. Anyone done this before and can tell me how to do it?
