Emulating MS Windows!

Qemu (also does Knoppix 4) running ReAct OS 0.29 /w Irfanview and 7zip on my desktop. This is cool! ReAct OS is open source (free). I don't trust it enough to give it a partition of it's own.

I talked abotu this before a number of times.

If you want my professional opinion....stay with Windows XP. ReAct OS doesn't run anything complicated yet.

Installed Suse 10.1 | Firefox /w Vista?

Rumor has it Microsoft will include Mozilla Firefox (the program you're using anyways) /w their next Windows Vista to avoid the IE 7 monopoly issue and avoid splitting the company due to it's monopoly with web browsers. Next thing you know is they're going to add open source video (Xvid, X264) audio (ogg, aac) codec to Windows Media Player 12!

I downloaded 32-bit and 64-bit OpenSuse 10.1 CDs (completely legally) last Wednesday. The 32-bit ones installed a-ok. The hellcat won't mount CD2 so I am downloading the DVD today. It booted up in 35 seconds on my Athlon XP PC compared to 1 minute on Suse 10.0 on the same PC. OpenOffice 2.02 uses less memory (same multitasking) then Suse 10. Now better suited for multitasking as good as Windows XP.

I went to Game Stop, Woodbury, Minnesota and added New Super Mario Bros. and Suikoden V to my game collection. Someone there really liked New Super Mario Bros and gave me two thumbs up literally when i asked. Course, thought of asking when PS3 preordering starts. The store clerk couldn't tell me. Yes, I drove all the way into Woodbury with urban traffic (last time I gone into a urban area was 1 month ago) listening to 93X (93.7 FM) there and back. Got 6 hrs gaming in the last 5 days....playing very casual. Ma ybe I am sick....i should play more.

Did I mention I am going on a electronica strike? I am for the sake of keeping friends. Wouldn't want to scare anyone with Sasha - Xpander or Chicane or The Thrillseekers. Maybe the future is southern rock? I am going sobber. I could've had it right the first time by listening to country. I hate rap and hip-hop.

Wii Analog Controller | Super Mario Galaxy | Dual Shock 2 design succure

I saw the Wii’s analog controller today and thought this is fine..can't get excited though. I can't stop what Nintendo does. A crossbreed between SNES and Playstation controllers! This thing is real! This doesn't make me want a Wii, but it's suprisenly similar to dual shock 2. This doesn't mean Wii is better then PS3 at all. It just means Nintendo knows it needs an analog controller for 3rd party ports not compliant with the Wiimote.



PS3 uses dual-shock 2 - best idea they had all year!

Sony was clever staying with the dual shock 2 design. It’s their trademark. They’re adding a tilt technology giving the dual shock 3 tilt features. I would buy it for the controller and games like Resistance: Fall of Man, Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriot, and Final Fantasy XIII. I don’t know how I can live without the dual shock 2 controller. Must find a job to pay for PS3!

Latest Linux build comes to the PS3

PS3 is going to come with K Desktop Environment build 3.5.2 on a 20 gigabyte hard drive for $499.99 USD. PS2 Linux had KDE 1.2 and it was primitive. As if Linux wasn’t excellent already? Linux should be dual booted with everyone’s computer.

Super Mario Galaxy: In development since 2000.

You know I played Super Mario Sunshine and let me tell you it has okay game play with all the jumping, punching, squirting Mario does, but it was one of them play once thru games from start to finish. I am unsure about this Super Mario Galaxy (code named Super Mario 128). Looks too childish, but this was always true for 3D platform games….Nintendo couldn’t put a dash of adult comedy in it we’ve seen with Conker’s Bad Fur Day you know.

Graphics of this game are alright. High resolution like Sunshine, but with more advanced lighting effects I suppose we all expected post Gamecube. Galaxy looks like Mario out of the Super Smash Bros. Melee FMV.

Bought Guild Wars Factions | Suse 10.1 release date announced | New SMB is good!

SuSE 10.1 release date is May 11, 2006. It's going to boot up faster and look professional doing it. Even though I can't play PC games in it....I can look great using Firefox, kopete and amarok in my stylish Software- und System-Entwicklung. No, I don’t speak German….I found it just like I find many things (ps you can buy it at Best Buy…oops I said too much). I found it interesting SuSE saves files on USB mass storage devices, but not NTFS partitions without user input. The terminal command "chmod 700" doesn't change anything! I download everything in Windows so I am not bothered much. CCleaner is a very good windows registry cleaner.




Guild Wars Factions starts at the very beginning of the first game.

One thing I learned from Guild Wars is once you join a guild, it's very hard to quit the guild in case it goes different ways. Like ESIV you can do anything you want too.

I drove to Target and bought Guild Wars Factions instantly in 5 minutes. I'll install it later coz right now I was playing Elder Scrolls IV. I think it was awesome because I own Guild Wars and played that for 2 weeks online. I'll go online and play test it and see why the reviews are right. In Elder Scrolls IV, I got to the first oblivion gate (really easy) and a knight comes up to me and said "go to jail unless you paid." I fought this knight and won, stripped him down and got all his gear. Now I look like some tough lady riding on a horse. If you attack horses, they attack you. The game has hiccups like the reviews say. It bugged me so I reduce the resolution to 1280x1024 because the monitor is downing the signal. Another way to do it is keep the resolution at 1600x1200 and turn off any anti-analysing. The results would be the same. There is so many polygons on screen that ESIV looks antianalysed. The oblivion gate makes the Emperor's knights go nuts and they attack me. I could run away until it wears off. The game is cool, I just think it makes everything obsolete by comparison. Personal opinion

Not surprising my next videogame is going to be New Super Mario Bros. It's like a 2D sequel to Super Mario World (retro maybe, but IGN gave gameplay a 10/10 calling it revolutionary.) I'll have to decide that for myself. NSMB is coming out next week.

Elder Scrolls IV PC

I drove to Menominee, WI to see Randy, Bob, Bob’s sister Jessie, and Bob’s new girlfriend. She wasn’t cute, but I wouldn’t call her ugly. That’s immature. Jessie doesn't like me. First time I’ve seen Bob in 8 months. Randy grilled steak, baked beans made cheesy potatoes. Nobody there wanted to talk about Linux, videogames, computers, or my music. I went home on the rainiest day of the month. I didn’t like it. Bob didn’t like me as much now. I wanted to go home. I almost did go home right away.

I received Elder Scrolls IV from UK in mail and have been playing it for three hours last night. I took camera shots. I don’t have time to get into games anymore so I cheated. It doesn’t make the game go by any faster. Game looks really pretty though. Keyboard and mouse rock! I completed 1 quest and am working on two more. I promised to help a half-ogre prince get his credibility back in the arena. Graphics are a 10/10 as far as my PC collection is concerned. It has certainly surpassed Half-life 2 in graphics quality. This is good!

Running at 1600x1200, 4x antianalyzing, multisampling transparency antianalyzing, 30+ frames per second, high quality image setting, and gamma correct antianalyzing .





Sweet looking isn’t it? I chose to be a sorceress, but she might not look like it. I can not afford a staff yet. I actually have a light infantry mail on now with steel buckler (shield).

All good things come to an end including PS2. The primary issue is getting around too actual gaming on anything. Can only spare little time towards Elder Scrolls IV.

I am not saying I’m going to support Wii, but PS3 is very expensive. I am unsure I can afford it or not. Owning PS3 would be selfish because it wouldn’t be played often. I don’t play any of my past overly appreciated consoles (PS, DC, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, PSP). I am just saying I’ll own a PS3 eventually.

Revolutionary Pee

April 29, 2006 - Graphical calculators JPEG added to "Some Pictures"

I am probably not the first to know it's name on here, but Nintendo announced on their webpage that Wii is the Revolution. Nintendo Go was valid, but was a very, very old name. Nintendo has probably changed it because like I said before I rather call it the Rev.

Wii definately comes from WiFi and Revolution is entirely WiFi if you got a Wavebird wireless Gamecube controller. This comes after seeing Ubisoft's Red Steel First Person shooter. A xbox game with much better antianalysing.

The only thing revolutionary about the Wii is the fact Nintendo got it thru their thick brains that DVDs should be their format after failing to see this with Gamecube. It's made a laughing stock out of Gamecube. Once again the MiniDVD didn't fit enough video. Gamecube games had little video in them. Their stupid thinking of piratcy resistant miniDVDs were putting them in last place. Why didn't Nintendo bring Panasonic Q to Wisconsin? Probably a bad decision on their part.

Nintendo fans once were waiting for the Nintendo 64 Disc Drive, but it ended up to be the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive. And game developers used the Doctor V64 to extract ROMs to CD using the expansion port and you could even play the ROM off CD by using it (sound familar?). Sega saw this with Saturn and dropped support the Sega Jupiter (A cartridge-based Saturn) Saturn was too difficult to program for so the obvious choice was develop for Playstation and it was $299 instead of $399. PS2 inhirined the back catalog of Playstation games.

Arena Football

When is Arena Football Pro League coming to Minnesota? The Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Gophers play in the Metrodome which is an ‘arena’. Gophers get twice the attendance then the Vikings. Gophers don’t have their own arena due to cuts in state budget. New stadium funding is unpopular with Minneapolis even if St. Paul built a state-of-the-art hockey arena. (only 15 miles a way). Minnesota fans are already seeing arena football. So MN Vikings must be an unofficial arena football team when playing home games? Will this prevent Arena Football League coming to Minnesota? Minneapolis is closer to where I live then Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Green Bay Packers sell out tickets in every game in every year meaning football is “that word again” in my state. No doubt. An arena football team could surely survive in Green Bay or Milwaukee and be popular after NFL season.

FOOTBALL ALL-YEAR!

Electronica songs i listen to Paul Oakenford - Ready Steady Go, the thrillseekers - synaesthesia, bt - godspeed, bt - Mercury and Solace, Southside Spinners - Luvstruck, Oceanlab - Sky Falls Down.

I'm going to Game Stop to purchase two more videogames which takes 2 hrs.
