I hate you all... I need a new PC so bad... but it's always the 'hmmm, do I blow money on a computer that I could spend on drugs?' and that stops me.

I was stoked about the Xbox360 when I first heard about it, but it turns out they've crippled it... the HD is going to be a removable, optional, device, so developers will have to design games assuming that it won't be there, the wireless controllers are an upgrade, and I think the wireless ethernet will be an upgrade.



I still get one tho', since it will have Quake 4.

When are computers going to have cup holders? My CD-ROM drive only holds big gulps.. kidding



Aside from random american banter about wanting everthing to have a spot to hold soda. I've found all you need are dvd decrypter and dvd shrink. I rented a few movies yesterday and the protection did screw up dvd shrink, but put in dvd decrypter (which just rips the dvd to your hard drive) and you got your own little Korean bootleg shop.

What is this 'dvd shrink'? is it a program that re-encodes DVDs to SVCDs?

Good decision. Computers are obsolete in a few months. With the money it costs to buy a decent computer, you have a stash of drugs that will last longer than the shelf life of the comp. :)



And your computer played 'Fable' at a pretty good frame rate anyways.

I've not made much progress on there in the last couple of days.... I'm about 80% through the game, and my character has 3 wives now... you actually get to bang them.

Yeah I think it can do that.

Basically what the program does is it takes a DVD and shrinks it down and copies it to your hard drive. Most DVDs you buy are around 8.9 gigs large, however DVD-Rs are only 4.7. So this program will take a dvd and shrink it down to that size or anything smaller. It doesn't do anything noticable to the video quality (better thank divx) and it's unusually quick. It only takes about a little under half an hour to copy a dvd and resize it... this seems like something that you'd normally have to leave your computer on over the night to do. Anyway, it's free, not shady, and worth while... not to sound like a promo-whore... Here's a link for this and other programs alike:

Well i meant these programs aren't shady as in they don't try to install some random jerk-off software or spyware. They seem like something you'd have to pay money for. I did that with one program and it had nothing compared to these 2
