Don't let it get you down, Leo.  We all feel the strain from playing too much or under the wrong conditions from time to time.  Last night, my eyes felt the  strain after our marathon gaming sessions we put in.  Just take time to rest, even if it is an unwanted break.  Though gaming is our passion, we all need to remember to step away and enjoy other pursuits.

Four more years with the 360, huh? I doubt MS will wait that long, but I wouldn't mind.

I have 3 dead computers and 1.5 that work.  Mrs Aspro has the only working one.  But my computer just started so I was able to check this out.

Yoda, I have the full podcast in wav format, do you have anything that can convert it to MP3? Perhaps the program I DL'd last night only dose a certain amount of the file *(GAH! -- I just read the fine print, it only converts 60% of the file -- so that is the problem).  I output it in wav last night after multiple attempts of putting it into MP3 format, but there was something about Jamie's track that Audacity did not like.

EDIT: I have taken it down.  I will investigate in a few hours when I get back.

ffmpeg is what you want.  It's a command line utility.

Windows: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H9F49ZLZ

In Linux it should be in whatever repository you have.

ffmpeg -i [inputfile] [outputfile]

Free Oddboxx Collection from some game site, for one day only.

You have to go on facebook, http://www.facebook.com/GamersGate, like the page and then comment in the area where he mentions the free game for naming the game in the picture. In the comment just put Cryostasis and you win.

I have never played an Oddworld game, now I get all 4 for free. Happy

I'll give that a try.  While I was out working I figured the other thing I could do was artificially extend the source material so that when it only did 60% it would do all the part of the file I wanted (and then cut down the output MP3).

I'm going to try the application above first though, thank you.

EDIT: It seems to be working splendidly, thank you again.

ESRB says this game over has got to go:

quote

"Take a good look at the logo above this post for Dead Island. The upcoming zombie action game from developer Techland and publisher Deep Silver uses a dead body hanging by a rope to the tropical tree to form the "I" in "Island." That image is apparently too graphic for the ESRB ratings system here in the US.


According to IGN, the logo for the US box cover for Dead Island will be changed so that the body is standing upright on the ground, without a rope connecting it to the tree, when the game is released. The original logo will stay in the game itself and will also remain unchanged for the European box cover. There's no word as to why the ESRB asked for the change."

end quote

I think it probably has more to do with a depiction of violence -- if it's on the cover than there is no consent given from the viewer -- it's just there for anyone to see.

Not that I personally care, but that's how I'd think if I were the ESRB.

So where's Agnates? Do I need to make a mistake to make him appear?

Alright... Here goes...

I hated the original Mario Kart on the SNES because even in single player they spilt the screen.  I beleive they did it because the SNES was too weak to render what otherwise would have been a large sprite, so they shrunk it down.

It's a fact.  I read it on the internet, just now.
