Goddamn this boat if fucking annoying. He keeps turning the boat around to my next quest. I want to go to the auction house first, you dick.

EDIT: Yes! I got the Swift Sail for 223 Rupies! Grinning

I think they changed all the boss battles in Deus ex so I wouldn't know what to do if I remembered. But I don't.

Does anyone have any experience with mirroring computer content on a TV?

I have decided against renewing my TV subscription since I have everything I want to watch on Film-On etc.  But I still would rather watch it on TV.  There is this gadget called apple TV which apparently mirrors the macbook onto the TV.  I've been thinking about getting it.  It's not that expensive (about 100 euros I think or maybe about 20 more to get it here).

Has anyone been using it (or something equivalent)?

This boat is fucking stupid. I got my sail, and now I'm actually heading to my next quest--the one he's been bitching about for the last 15 mintues--but he is still turning the boat around and going the opposite direction! WTF?

BTW, this sail is awesome! It's like three times faster, and I don't even need to use the Wind Waker to change the wind direction anymore! Grinning

^ Glad I never got around to playing that game yet. I may avoid it now.

It's an awesome game, was even my personal GOTY at one point. It's like the best Splinter Cell ever made with a Perfect Dark vibe. If anyone is having troubles there's an easy but cheaterish way to circumvent that. Upgrade your invisibility, walk up crouched to someone and just stun gun them. Works every time. I only discovered it late in the game gladly as it removes a lot of the challenge.

I turned on gyro aiming in Wind Waker. At first, it was really awkward, but have gotten used to it and it's a much faster way to aim the grapple hook.

A good friend of mine uses Chromecast, the Google equivelent, and loves it. I'm hardly a videophile so I can't really tell if there's any loss of audio or video quality, but from the few times I've watched movies at his house I've been pretty impressed. It costs all of $35 here. Here's the link, take a look and see what you think.

Okay this boss is completely asinine. I read the included strategy guide and there a number of approaches to beating him.

You can punch through a wall to access a secret area: only that requires an aug which they've disabled.

You can move a heavy crate and use an enhanced jump to access a hidden area  only that requires an aug which they've disabled.

You can break into a security room and hack a computer so robots will kill the boss,  only that requires an aug which they've disabled.

You can grab a high powered laser rifle only it has little ammo.

All this as the boss vanishes and throws 3 grenades AT ONCE, whilst the screen is constantly distorted.

THIS BOSS FIGHT IS AN ABOMINATION

Basically the game screws you if you accepted the free LIMB clinic upgrade, so if you ever play this excellent game DO NOT accept the free LIMB upgrade!

There's got to be something that you are missing.  I remover that boss battle being tough but not broken.

From what I've read online, you're just gonna have to shoot and run.  Throw an emp, attack then run

So fellow Gentlemen of Discerning Taste. What are you playing this week? I myself am on a Zelda kick and have been playing:

A lot of The Adventure of Link.

And some Link to the Past as well.

Zelda kick? I have no idea why grown-ass adults play kiddy games like Zelda.

I've been playing this:

I've been playing Alan Wake. I'm 2 chapters in, and even though the game has great lighting, cool shooting elements and fatnastic soundtrack I'm still kind of "meh" on it. Probably because Alan Wake is probably one of the douchiest looking and acting protagonists in videogames ever. He looks like a douche, talks like a douche and acts like a douche. At least during the first couple hours of the game.

That sounds like far from an excellent game.  Broken would be a more appropriate word by the sound of it
