I have owned two PSPs, I always get one thinking it's going to be awesome and then sell it because I get bored of it. I guess I made some money off it selling them modded though. There just aren't really that many good games on it. The controls drive me nuts on most games because it seems like they where designed with dual analog in mind.

It might be cheaper to get a PS2 controller/PS2>USB Adapter. This pad is pretty badass too, but about the same price as a 360 controller (although it is wireless): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16826127209

Sounds fun, If I where you I would try and play in the roughest hardcore bars I could find. No real reason I guess I just think it would be awesome.

What OS are you running though? I heard it can mess up your Vista activation, not sure about 7.

Cool, thanks everyone!

Yep. I hate normal people who have regular jobs that get up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I could never do that simply because I would have no time to enjoy myself, If your working a 9-5 and you get up at 7 got to bed at 10 and you including driving as part of the job you have what, 4-5 hours out of the day that you weren't working? It's like you work all the time!

...wow....just ignore this guy, he continually shoots himself in the foot and is unable to come up with a decent rebuttal after starting shit for stupid reasons. Just don't even dignify it with a response. It's sad to see someone who has been around as long as he has become a troll, but whatever, every forum has em I suppose. The other sad part is I (and I doubt anyone else) don't want to fight with you, yet you keep going and going. I really don't have a problem with you as long as you aren't pulling this shit and I doubt anyone else does. You seem like a decent person in most of your posts, but then you continually do this shit. You demonstrate a clear lack of maturity.

yeah but it doesn't do this new crazy stuff!!

How does T3CH just get away with distributing XBMC on his site like that? Everyone seems to freak out about xbox binaries but he seems unaffected. He could be in another country or whatever but still, You don't see many others doing it. Is there some kind of crazy workaround?

That's worse though. When you pirate it they strip the DRM. When you buy it you have it installed. Even if I wanted to pay all that money I would still install a pirated version after buying. Plus I heard with photoshop its even crazier than SecuROM, It supposedly modifies your MBR and some other crazy stuff.

I'M A GOOFY GOOBER YEAH HE'S A GOOFY GOOBER YEAH WE'RE ALL GOOFY GOOBERS YEAH!!!! That movie and early spongebob rules, and I don't give a fuck what anybody has to say otherwise.

I have mild insomnia, so yeah, sometimes for almost a week I just won't sleep. When I do sleep I usually stay up till like 6 or 7 in the morning and then sleep till like 11, If I don't have to do anything that day and with some luck I will sleep longer (till around 2-3). Eventually I will just crash and sleep for almost an entire day. This is why I am often acting just plain out of my mind. I'll even hallucinate and stuff if I've been up too long without enough sleep.

I find what helps me most is actually handwriting things. I take TONS of notes in class and whatever I want to memorize I will write over and over again. I think I remember hearing about a study that was done that said when you write things by hand (NOT TYPE) you actually do remember better, so it makes sense I guess.

^Oh god I knew someone was going to pop up with that stupid argument. I had a feeling it would be you because you seem to like picking fights. When did I state I had any opinion whatsoever before watching the movie? Oh wait, I didn't. When did I say I even agreed with those scores even after seeing the movie? Holy shit I didn't do that either! (All I said was that it was shit) In fact, I personally HATE rotten tomatoes because the scores they give are all over the place, very good movies are often rated poorly and the other way around. IMDB is okay but gets bombarded with spammers/trolls, and Metacritic is just decent for a general idea because they at least weigh the scores. I posted those for everyone's convenience, I plan to do it for every movie I post about in this thread and for no other reason. You also fail to understand that a 5/10 is average, so it wasn't exactly critically panned. I apparently hated it MORE than critics did if you really want to know more about my opinion. All I said was that was I heard it was shit before seeing it. You SHOULD have noticed this because you put it in bold yourself. I guess you don't read that well either though. The only effect any reviews had on me was that I skipped it in theaters, which to be honest isn't saying much because I rarely EVER go to the theaters anyway, I pirate everything. Your right though, I take it back, Transformers 2 is a cinematic masterpiece. All movies should strive to be as good as transformers 2, by the greatest director of all time, Michael Bay. I know you didn't claim it was a cinematic masterpiece, but why do you go out of the way to defend it like this? Are you making royalties or something? Maybe you had something to do with making this movie? I don't get it. If you liked the movie, that's great, but there is no need to be an ass about it. Anyway, I just watched a fantastic movie. If you are a fan of Evil Dead 2 you must see this movie. If you didn't like Evil Dead 2 or movies like it, skip this because you will hate it. It is definitely one of those movies where you either hate it or love it. It is called Dead Alive, it also has the title Brain Dead. Here is the cover: I don't know how I missed this when it came out, but I'm glad I finally saw it. It is EXTREMELY gory and even though it is old there are some parts that might freak you out just because they are so weird. You might not eat pudding ever again. (you'll see!) It is directed by Peter Jackson which came as a surprise to me. I'm guessing if you liked Bad Taste (I saw a post about it on here somewhere) you would like this too. Some parts are just completely ridiculous. The only thing you have to be careful about is there are a lot of censored versions floating around. The Uncensored one is about 97 minutes, There is also a 104 minute version but the extra scenes in that version don't really add much in fact I kinda understand why they where taken out. So don't go crazy looking for that version. The censored version is 85 minutes long. I heard the UK versions are all uncensored but I cannot confirm this. This movie is way different from any other zombie movie you have ever seen. I cannot stress enough how completely ridiculous it is. Rotten Tomatoes (85/100) http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dead_alive/ IMDB (7.6/10) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/ Metacritic (54/100) http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/dea...?q=Dead%20Alive Another good zombie movie I saw recently is Dead Snow (Technically Død snø). Also a pretty gory movie. There are a couple parts which will make you say HOLY SHIT!! I hope this doesn't spoil it but I liked the fact that the survivors actually stood a fighting chance instead of just getting picked off one by one like I thought they would. Oh yeah, and NAZI ZOMBIES!!!! It is from Norway so you must find yourself some subtitles. I expected this movie to be very bad for some reason but I was wrong. As far as zombie movies go its great. If you like zombie movies see this movie for sure.

I'm trying to burn an MP3 CD for a friend but a lot of the music I have is only in FLAC. (You can't get it in any other format, it's some independent stuff) Is there a decent program for converting FLAC files to MP3 with as little quality loss as possible? (I know there will be some, just trying to minimize it)

Those are just the themes, but all the music in these movies was equally great. I wish I could get the pocket watch song as a ringtone or something. (WARNING, THIS IS THE END OF THE MOVIE, DON'T RUIN IT FOR YOURSELF IF YOU HAVEN"T WATCHED THESE YET! Even if you know what happens, it's much better to watch after seeing the rest of the movie) Man, these movies are so good, I've watched them all in one sitting on more than one occasion. There are many more great westerns with great music as well.

I heard they are getting pretty nuts about DRM, so be prepared for that. I'm still on CS2 and before that I was on 7 You don't HAVE to read a book to use it, it's just an easy way of learning some of the more advanced features. Plus sometimes they show you cool little tricks where you wouldn't even think to use the suggested tool in that given situation.

Nah I never read it, but I had heard before that the second one was shit compared to the first one like a billion times which is why I didn't see it in theaters. I did see the first one in theaters. Even the first one was just "okay" though. It was really just a bunch of cool action scenes but it at least captured SOME of the style of the original show. The sequel was just goofy. Why did that old robot have a cane? Seriously wtf!? There where so many just stupid things like that and constant mind numbingly dumb dialogue I guess to make it appeal to kids more or something. What can you really expect from a Michael Bay movie though?

I've been jumping around from job to job/class to class for awhile now and I still have absolutely no idea what I want to do. I'll probably be in college and doing odd jobs for money for the rest of my life. Every time I find something interesting it doesn't lead to any actual careers, and every time I find a career it's something that I hate/doesn't make much more money than what I'm doing now. I was thinking of becoming a cop for awhile, I still think that might be pretty cool, but I'll probably never pass the physical test because I'm so ridiculously out of shape right now. All my friends where like WTF!!?!? YOU?!?! A COP!?!?! haha EDIT: PS. I have been Cisco AND Nortel certified for about 8 years now and I haven't gotten a single job out of it. Maybe it's just the area, but don't count on it.

Finally watched Transformers 2, well sort of, I got bored with it and turned it off halfway through. It was pretty ridiculous and stupid. Why did it have to be so long? The story wasn't nearly complex enough. I liked how they had to give Shia LaBeaf (or however you spell his name) a neon orange spray tan so he wouldn't stick out so much next to Megan Fox's neon orange spray on tan. Man I just cannot stop hating on Megan Fox, Every time I calm down I hear/see something else that makes me hate her even more. Her quote "Transformers isn't about acting" that supposedly justifies her shitty performance. I shouldn't even need to explain that one. Then she bars all the transformers comic writers or whatever from her transformers 2 launch party. What a dumb bitch, If it wasn't for Transformers no one would know shit about you, and judging by your other movies you better enjoy this success while it lasts. It's box office bombs and bro films for the rest of your life. It seems like she was genetically engineered to appeal to bros as much as possible, everything from her dumbass looks to her dumbass attitude.

I had to read this in a hurry so sorry if I misunderstood but it sounds like what you should do is help your friend, her fiance, and their son get a place to live/jobs and get them out of there - although to be honest they should be able to do this on their own. The rest of them can get drunk and kill each other or be thrown out on the street by the landlord, fuck em. It won't be an overnight thing because like you said it is hard to find jobs now but at least they are taking a step in the right direction. If things are just going to continue to get worse you might let them stay at your place for a while or maybe they have a family member they can stay with just temporarily. Actually who is the homeowner/primary leaseholder? If it is your friend they should just throw those drunks out. Let them come crawling back and then deny them again. If they keep coming back to their house/your house/a new house they end up in to start shit/waiving weapons around, tell them to buy a gun and shoot them in the neck, let em choke on it. These people sound like a waste of life.

You can find those photoshop books for very cheap used too. I had to buy a book like that for college and it was like 150 MSRP. I found one online used for like 10 bucks.

This is some pretty powerful stuff.
