As soon as my old PC at home running XP has issues caused by EOL it gets Linuxed.
I would dual boot but need another drive.
What is weird is that I found it easy to install and use as a complete newbie, easier to use for a long term windows user than Win 8.
I use Firefox
I used to download rips of HD-DVDs so I could watch the high definition version of a film. I copied it from the PC to the PS3 and watched it on there.
I wanted to watch the film in HD, I had an HD player but they did not make discs for it. So I worked around it.
Funny that my BluRay player could play rips of HD-DVDs so well.
I chucked Firefox and Thunderbird on, set their profiles to use the FAT32 partition, got their accounts working.
Then booted into Linux, got the auto mount working for the FAT32 partition and pointed the new proifles at the same place.
They were impressed when they viewed their emails in Linux when just downloaded in Win 7.
The boys were not supposed to get PCs yet, but will built a few months early to be sure of getting a Win 7 disc as they hate 8 as well.
1 SSD, 1 HDD, 5 user partitions (SSD NTFS EXT4, HDD NTFS, FAT32, EXT4), I had to create the FAT32 partitions on our XP box.
Actually the good graphics even on the PS3 version really enabled you to zone in, the facial animations, the body language. The giraffes, the vegetation, it drew you in so much you almost felt you were there.
And as you said one of the best stories ever in a video game.
Now time to wait for Uncharted 4.
I take it you haven't read about this.
A large amout of PS4 purchasers did not own a PS3, this is mainly aimed at them.
Left Behind was produced after release. So could not have been included.
ND used it to develop their PS4 tools. So what if it is a reskin, it is still one of the best games ever.
I was playing Left Behind last night, on hard, on the PS3.
It is actually a good little car!
A bit small with 3 teenagers but as I read the more impressed I was.
My car would probably just about beat it off road (well mine has a green oval on the steering wheel, 5 cylinders and 2 live axles), but it seems to perform pretty well.
yes it is impressive.
There is no such thing as a new good big cheap TV, You have to drop at least one.
Some people go new big cheap.
Careful buyers go new good cheap or good big cheap.
Enthusiasts go new good big.
I would not buy a TV which was not good in the picture department, hence my TV was not cheap, mine is not the biggest but big enough for that film effect, great for films and games, also decent stuff off TV.
Would I swap for a cheap 55" TV?
Never.
Actually the same TV for most of the time it was already poorer before DSO. About a year before DSO I went HD, and my HDTV is good at upscaling.
32" Wega IDTV so well able to get the best from the transmission, and those early days had a much better picture, higher bit rates ect.
Upscaled SD looks fine on my HDTV, just not as good as HD especially when the BBC used about twice the bit rate they use now.
Or compare BBC on Freeview to the first days of OnDigital. I am sure BBC1 (in SD) looked better in 1999 than today. Back then BBC looked very DVD like compared to the over compressed mess we now have.
Or early BBC HD on Freesat to BBC1 HD and BBC2 HD now on Freesat.
All worse in the name of cramming more channels in.
I know exactly what you mean.
I buy by quality & price.
I use my DVD player as a music source as it is the best I have. It plays CD, SACD, and DVD-A, so I am sorted. Pioneer as well!
I have an old 5.1 Sony receiver, is very good but getting input issues (not enough), finding something similar but newer is no picnic.
Brands would be interesting Bose as an example, most people would rate as shite, some as wonderful. I am of the opinion of marketing over technology.
As to weight, I need to replace my receiver some time, saw one in a Sony centre - first test, lift it up was it heavy. (it was)
Only other AV stuff locally shops have gone bump, or stuff is cheap shit, or there was a Bose in above Sony centre.
Can't find any other branded AV kit locally any more, No Pioneer nor Denon.
Well, let's think
Naked woman, no problem, can be a nice sight depending on who.
Naked man - yuk
Other mens todgers, no thanks.
Since porn seem to involve todgers I am not a fan of it, doesn't mean I hate sex. Erotica can be pretty good, watching other people bonking is well off putting and boring. I can think of much better things to see, like for example my wife.
Basically porn is a spectator thing, I prefer participation.
