We see where their priorities are now don't we. Sell DLC rather than fix a broken game. They're not getting another cent from me until they fix the damn game.
I ran into some early side quests that couldn't be completed because of bugs. I wrote them down in my notes to come back to after they got fixed. I'll give them credit, they did fix a lot of bugs in the last patch, but they also introduced a major game killing bug.
I mainly stopped playing after the last patch because they broke Boone. He's completely useless, and there are still several side quests and unmarked quests on my list that are broken. I figured the Boone bug was such a big fuck up that they would have released a quick fix, so I stopped playing.
That was almost 4 months ago, so it looks like I was wrong. I know there's a fix for Boone on NVNexus and a huge community bug fix, but I was a little weary of using it in case the game got patched and the work-arounds used in the community bug fix ended up breaking something after the official patch. If I had known it was going to take this long to get another patch, I could have finished the damn game by now and made another play through (or two). |

Nice! Guess I'll finally watch DS9. Sweet! I think DS9 is probably the only one I haven't seen all of. I've probably seen almost all of TNG, but I never watched it regularly when it was new. I would try to catch it when it was on, but I never was the type of kid that would have to run home at X o'clock to watch a TV show. Later after I got older, but still before DVRs I would watch it occasionally since it was usually on some channel late at night.
Recently it used to come on the local FOX station a couple of times a night, but they were showing episodes in some random order. I set my HTPC to record it any time it came on. At first I started watching episodes randomly, looking at the descriptions and watching ones that didn't sound familiar, but they always ended up being episodes I had seen before. Eventually they stopped airing it, but it wasn't long before it started airing on three other channels. My HTPC automatically started recording those since it was set to record at any time on any channel. Now I've been watching it from the beginning, and it wasn't until season 3 that I found a couple of episodes I hadn't seen before.
A few years ago, one station would show Voyager four times every Monday night. I'd never seen it before, so I started watching it. I came in somewhere in the middle, but they repeated it and I watched up to the point where I came in. I actually liked it. It wasn't near as bad as some have said.
Then I did the same with Enterprise, I came in somewhere in the middle and it looped after the end. The first episode I came in on, I missed the first half of, and when it got back to that same episode, the cable was out and it missed the first half of the same damn episode. I remember the episode, so I'm sure I can find it by the description.
Once again I started in on the middle when I noticed DS9 was on. I watched it up to the end, and they started over from the beginning. Except this time, they just stopped showing it all of the sudden before I got back to where I came in. It's been so long now I'll just start from the beginning. |

I can't wait for this if it's going to be large scale maps like BF2 with destruction from BFBC2. I picked up BFBC2 on Steam back during the end of year sales. I played the single player, and that was it. I was hesitant to jump into a MP game since it doesn't let you practice offline.
I finally played MP for the first time this past weekend and had a fucking blast. I ended up playing it for 6 straight hours. I picked the Vietnam expansion from the EA store on sale for ~$7. I don't know why but I completely suck at Vietnam, but I can consistently be in the top 5 in regular BC2.
I just hope they don't do this shitty rank and unlock crap like in BC2. It is frustrating for a new player to get in on a game where everyone is higher levels with better equipment. I thought it was stupid that you had could play as a medic but couldn't heal and revive team mates until you unlocked them. |

Re: Judge gives juror indefinite jury duty... |

First, how can a judge sentence someone who hasn't been charged with a crime? Second I doubt this punishment would hold up if the woman challenged. I would think it would be considered unusual punishment (if not cruel too). I don't know if jury duty fall under state or federal laws, but I thought you could only be called for jury duty once in a 12 month period.
Then again forcing someone into indefinite jury duty might not be the best punishment for them. She could decide blow every trial that she is assigned to by going against everyone else on the jury duty causing miss-trials and costing the court money in having to re-try all of the cases. |

I have used Foxit reader and it seems to do the job without the bloat. Foxit is a nice PDF reader, though it's becoming more bloated over time too. As for free programs to create PDF, OpenOffice and LibreOffice can export your documents as PDF. I believe even Google Docs will convert documents to PDF. I've used OpenOffice to export as a PDF in the few instances I've needed to send someone a document in PDF. |

Tarantino’s Seven Films Immortalized in Art. |

| I don't get the hype behind Tarantino. I've seen all of his films. Pulp Fiction was great, Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs were OK, Kill Bill was watchable but not that great, but Deathproof and Inglourious Basterds rank among some of the dumbest movies I've seen. |

It could be worse- data caps around the world. |

I discovered that my ISP has a data cap. The service was out a few weeks ago, and all I could access was their site. I checked it to see if there was any notice of the outage, but there was none. I rarely check their site and it had changed since I was there last, so with nothing to do I poked around a bit. They don't advertise their speeds anymore (or I couldn't find them), but I get 10Mbit down, 256k up. They have a higher service that is (or was) the same downstream speed but 1Mbit up, at nearly twice the cost.
Anyway, there was a new fine print on the page that said "network limits apply" and a link to download a PDF of the policy. In the PDF it says residential service is limited to 30GB or 20GB download and 10GB upload, and they charge $10 for each GB over.
Apparently they aren't enforcing this because my bill hasn't changed. My router running Tomato firmware has bandwidth logs going back 2 years. Two years ago my monthly bandwidth ranged from a low of 16GB to a high of 40GB with an average of 29GB. Last year my lowest was 23GB and the highest was 60GB, with an average of 36GB.
I don't do that much heavy use either. I occasionally watch a TV show or movie streamed from Netflix. I haven't done much online gaming lately, but I have bought more games from digital download services this year. My biggest months were Dec. 2010 and Jan. 2011 (I can't imagine why).
AT&T has been pushing ads for their U-verse service since they began offering it in my neighborhood. I've been considering switching, and now it's even more tempting than ever. |

I use AnyDVDHD anyway, it allows you to skip the crap that's flagged as unskippable on movies. I mainly bought it so I can watch Blu-ray movies, that I bought, on my PC because my monitor doesn't support HDCP, and I can get the full HD master audio which it would otherwise down sample since I'm not using HDMI.
And while I'm bitching, why the fuck do they need to advertise Blu-ray on a fucking Blu-ray movie. No fucking shit, I rented a movie on Blu-ray that had two "Blu-ray is the ShiZZZ" ads on it before the fucking movie started. |

Except for the flyby and some of the guns, the sounds are the exact same sounds from IL-2. From what I've seen so far, this is just IL-2 with better shadows and water.

Oh yea and the graphics got nerfed in case UBI would be sued by photosensative epiletics. You cant even see a hint of the prop from inside the planes, as in not a HINT. Among other things I got news for you, unless it's stopped, you don't see the prop anyway, not even at idle/low RPM. About the only time you might see the prop is if the sun hits it at a certain angle you'll catch a glare, but otherwise, when it's spinning, it's pretty much invisible. |

I'm going to update my systems to Firefox 4 today. I played with the last beta and RC from portableaps.com so that it didn't interfere with my Firefox 3.6.xx. There were two extensions that didn't work right, but one has been fixed, the other I can live without for a while.
For those of you that upgraded already, did you just install over 3.6 or remove 3.6 first? I was thinking of removing 3.6 first to get a clean start.
I upgraded. Worked like a charm.
Then at work I decided to see if it'd make a difference if I didn't upgrade but do a clean install, and it's exactly the same. So just go and upgrade.
Creston I ended up doing a clean install. I tried the upgrade first by clicking about/check for updates. It downloaded 15MB, which I thought was weird since the stand alone installer is 12MB. It worked fine, but there was some leftover stuff from previous versions and add-ons. I was poking around in about:config and found settings left over from Xmarks, which I haven't used since they came out with Weave (Sync). It seems like when you remove an add-on it should delete its settings. After I discovered that I just decided to get it over with and start clean.
My netebook didn't have any or as much extra junk since Firefox had been more recently installed. I think I did a clean install starting with 3.6.x, where my desktop system I have upgrade starting from 3.0.x. I upgraded the netbook using the downloaded installer, but something went wrong. After it was done, I didn't have the new menu button or the old menu toolbar. I right clicked on the toolbar, and menu bar and navigation toolbar were selected. I tried turning it off and back on, but that didn't work. So it was another uninstall and re-install. |

When you try and make a 2 hour movie out of a 100 hour game, it's rather obvious that most of the content won't make the cut right?
The first Fallout wasn't a 100 hour game. There's a video of someone finishing it in under 10 minutes. I think telling the story of Fallout 1 could have made a decent movie if done right. |
