Today is just awful....
My Grandfather just died.
I swear, 2016 is the worst year of my life. :(
Seconded. I still haven't gotten my phone back, for instance, and probably never will... which means 80% of my privacy/social life is gone forever.
Edit: I also lost my dog only a week or so ago. And quite a few other things happened this year that just SUCKED.
Edit P.S.: Basically, we've had enough bullshit in this one year to last us until the Year 2032 Problem... do we really need MORE bullshit on top of it?
Thanks.
It seems that my hat has completely evaporated this morning. I can't find it anywhere.
I would like somebody to draw this:
TURBO-TOILET:
As a social experiment, the FX-400 Race Commission has modified this toilet seat for Phantom-Class AG Racing.
EDIT: Funniest thing ever.

A cheat code used in Formula 1 97 to have "WipEout Mode". I call it the original "Formula Fusion" :P

You do realise that statement was largely influenced by marketing right? :p
Photorealism in games is still far from reality, particles, realistic lighting & shadows, reflections, dynamic visual changes and the lack of perfection (everything is too clean, cars do not look as if they are standing in a show room during races, something a lot of racers fail to understand (WO HD does it good though)) all lag behind
ending sequence of 'Rogue One', just so good :rock
makes Star Wars great again
Failed my driving theory test by one mark but aced the hazard perception test, how frustrating >.<
(Theory pass mark is 43/50 correct and I got 42)
I'm thinking "Thank God it's over".
On Monday last, I removed everything from my lounge room so I could clean the carpet.....sounds boring doesn't it.
That meant stripping down my Home Theater setup ......It had to be done, I live in central Sydney, and the pollution from cars [fine black grit] builds up on everything, as I leave my balcony door open.
Took me a day to strip it down, and clean the carpet.....then crashed out, carpet now clean.
Next day started rethinking how to improve my lounge room [so it looks neater re cabling ]
Decided on getting some conduit, and running the cables for the 4 surround speakers + the HDMI cable to the newly fixed Projector....went to the hardware store and bought what I thought I needed.
Mucho Mucho swearing, and nearly weeping in frustration of a plan, just not happening.....let it sit and went and bought a couple of bottles of wine :p
ARGH! Next day, Pissing down raining, can't cycle to the hardware shop in this.....a few hours later, no rain, YaH !, go to hardware shop, get what's needed, then Wammo, conduit up a room cabling looking a damm site neater.
After another several hours labeling all the input & output ends of each cable [If building a complex system, you have to do this] and, putting masking tape on the power board, writing what plug goes where, I was ready to wire up ...:dizzy
This would be around the 6th rebuild of my system......I've learn't a LOT about what works and what doesn't, RE PS 2, 3 and 4, you need to have utilize the optional AUDIO OUT, PS 2 & 4 use Optical, PS3 uses Analog when wiring into a HT Surround amp.
WHY ?, well some games like ROCKSMITH don't track well via HDMI, but will if using a different audio output, So I use a optional Analog for the PS3 and optional Optical for the PS4....works well, if still a PITA to wire up.
So, 4 days after I cleaned my carpet I have finally finished putting it all back together, it looks so neat, I'm glad I didn't give up on the project....I think having to wire 6 components to use the internet added to the frustration [ I have thick concrete walls, WiFi just fails for me between rooms ] so I had to use Ethernet cables.
Yamaha Surround amp.
Inputs [5] : Laptop - HDMI, PS4- HDMI + Optical[dual audio inputs], PS3- HDMI + Analog[Dual audio inputs], PSTV - HDMI, PS2 - Component + Optical Audio, DVR- HDMI
Outputs: [2] Sony TV, Sony Projector.
3 Powerboards with 14 pieces of gear plugged in.
Ethernet all cabled [6]: Laptop, TV, Surround Amp [For Internet Radio + Network ], PS4, PS3, DVR
You can hardly see a cable anywhere.....Mission accomplished ....feeling very happy about the end result......but F*&K it was a frustrating thing to do.
I'll edit and post a photo when I can.
Pics or it didn't happen! ;)
Here a few pictures
First is of the lounge room showing usual day time setup......I removed the center channel and subwoofer as they were overkill, as the big Harbeth SHL5's were doing a better job of it without them, you can see the projector sitting on the wall shelf on the left, along with the B&W floor standers and near ceiling mounted.

Hmmm. Those didn't work.
Way to open a can of worms! ;)
OOP's :redface: , Fixed. :)
Nice one - great setup! :)
I accidentally imported an ImpulseTracker song into Audacity. And it worked.
WHEN DID THEY ADD THIS FEATURE?!
Life is short, life is unpredictable. Tell people how you feel, live every day to its fullest potential, life is too short... I've said similar before, but every now and then things happen that make you take another look at life and take stock of it. Just dont waste your time here.
even 2097's phantom class can't go this fast :p

Looks like futuristic bobsledding.
looks like a futuristic sewer snake to me.
Although, I will grant it's speed does make it compelling viewing.....not sure about play ability.
This is got to be the shittest month of the year!!! Absolutely gutted, had to cancel everything including my holiday of a lifetime (even lost my deposit, but hell it`s only money that I DO not care)
Me and my wife are fine (100%) but it is family reasons.
stevie
Take care Stevie, sounds like there's more important things than wipeout convention for you, hang in there! ;)
yea fo real! it's more like sliding inside a tube instead of driving :D
i think the same, it's too fast to recognize the blocks or the X grates that slows you down, almost unplayable, it's just luck or you have a super hero's sight
i would like to try Extreme g 3 or XGRA, these futuristic-bike racers are pure fun and speed imho, must grab one original copy for ps2 from ebay!
try playing the video at 2x speed :D

Is anyone else having problems getting online for HD? I'm getting errors retrieving the universe list so cannot race online currently :P
Probably a server migration in progress, can take anywhere from about half an hour to up to multiple days (like last time, where it was out for over a week)
Just got a hate comment.
He said, "I draw like sh*t".
But, that's alright! He's just a hater! And you know about haters.....
Today is a one of the best days of my life. In my city basketball competitions were held. I played in the final and my team won!!!! That was amazing moment!
I met a girl and I find it interesting to talk with her. Actually I am just interested in trying to find out if she is interesting. Oh well...
Well, there's only one way to find out. Communication is key.:+
(says the guy who rarely speaks):|
Heh, I know that too. Just saying what I think at this moment xD
I recently signed up for a theatre audition "Carrie: The Musical" (based on the movie) for the support of a charity. Unfortunately the rehearsal place is an hour's drive there and back but I'd like to get back into performing, so hopefully I pass the audition :D
I've a random craving for Jelly
So I'm guessing most of you heard about the Manchester attacks yesterday. Well my girlfriend was at the arena doing surveys with some friends for her degree at the time of the attack. I hadn't heard from her once the news broke out until midday today where I found out she spent the night at one of the inns without means of communication. I put aside everything, left my university and rushed all the way from Preston to Stockport (a 2hr 30min journey for me) faster than a Icaras using turbos to see her. Thankfully she is fine but has been emotionally affected by the whole situation.
I never knew the feeling of harrowing dread until now, I haven't slept since yesterday worried for her wellbeing. I am lucky to still have her around, but those feelings will never leave me from now on.
Make sure that you all cherish the ones you hold dear to your heart, because **** like this can happen to anyone. The feeling of losing them to an unjust reason will destroy you like it did to me last night. Fortune was kind to us two this time, but all the other families who lost their children were not as fortunate. I pray for everyone who has been affected by the attack and hope they can all find some sort of normalcy in their lives in the future.
Oh god.
Snake, I'm so, so sorry you both had to experience that first hand. I'm glad she's okay. I didn't know anyone there but it's shaken me to my core.
Snake, I feel immensely for you two. Such a heinous act to the most innocent of people, with kids involved no less. Hope you two can overcome this and keep flying high.
