Someone passed a laptop to me to have a look at today. Apparently it was running really slow for some reason and even after running several scans over it with different anti-virus software, nothing came up. The owner couldn't figure out what was wrong. So I booted up the Win XP machine and sure enough, everything was crawling. Took a few...
"Subarashiki Kono Sekai" has quite a cool selection of music so I've been looking forward to this release. Over the past few days, I even just left the official music site open in the background just to listen to the music! Unfortunately, it seems no one has ripped the CDs yet when I went scouring the net for it today. Instead, I came across...
Good to see Trauma Center Second Opinion sitting in the top 10 Wii titles on Amazon! But considering how there are currently few good Wii games out here in PAL land, it might not be that surprising. The latest titles for Nintendo's classic series such as Paper Mario and Metroid Prime 3 are yet to come out. Here's my follow-up post that I...
The September issue of V Jump contains a whole load of screenshots and bits of info for a fairly large number of RPGs. I don't think there's been so many RPGs shown simultaneously before... Dragon Quest IV, ASH (Archaic Sealed Heat), Final Fantasy IV, Tales of Innocence, Crisis Core, Final Fantasy Tactics: A2 and Summon Night Twin Age....
The release date and tracks for the final Code Geass drama CD has been revealed on the Livedoor Anime News Blog. Nice cover too since it features the cast from the first season. Now why did I bother importing that July issue of Newtype? Well, guess I have the other 3 tracks that this CD won't have at least and it's good news for fans that...
Final Fantasy IV DS is looking better than FFIII with its new head to body ratio character designs. Less "chibiness" which is good for the more in-depth storyline. The pre-rendered version of the characters are looking great too. Can't wait until they release a new PV with more CG footage! Until then, the trailer shown at the SE Party...
Helped my brother install the Swap Magic cover on his SCHP-50003 PS2 today. He decided to go with the Swap Magic 3 Coder Plus and the Slider Tool Pro because he didn't want the console chipped to play imports. Was a bit worried when I was going to remove the front CD cover because people were saying how easy it was to break the clips. It was...
I don't usually watch Korean drama but because the Korean boom has been very strong in Asia lately, there's been lots of them on TV in Hong Kong. So while I was over there in January I came across "My Girl (마이걸)", otherwise known as "大話妹" in Cantonese meaning "The Lying Little Girl". They were advertising the drama every hour or...
Looks like the Flash exploit hasn't been patched with yesterday's update after all. I was using the Internet Channel as usual today and ironically, the problematic Flash presentation that froze my Wii was on Nintendo's very own site! I always visit the European Nintendo site via the Favourites section of the browser just to see...
If you had your Wii running today then, you might have noticed the blue light blinking again. In my case, it was blinking while I left the Wii menu running away idly. When I came back, Nintendo left this message on the board: "This update will prevent your Wii console from locking up, which can occur when using the Internet Channel if you...
