Just found this.
Guess who shows up while I am randomly searching for one of my lost maps?
BTW, has anyone got a copy of my map "Op4_False_Accretion"?

OMG!
The Simpsons Movie!
Officially announced for July 27th 2007, trailer included. That's before HL2:Episode 2 (yea, it was delayed).
I totally missed that! I thought it'd never happen!

Very old news (I think they announced it back in June or something like that). 
Fox is suppose to show a 'real' trailer for it this Sunday during the new episode of The Simpsons.
Many times they said they'd end the show right after or before making a movie. Let's hope they eat their words on that one.

I found out that the PS3 is monstrously huge:
12.8" (W) x 4" (H) x 10.8" (D), weighs 11 lbs
32.5 cm (W) x 10.2 cm (H) x 27.4 cm (D), weighs 5 kg
Just for some comparison, here's the specs on the X-Box:
12.5" (W) x 4" (H) x 10.5" (D), weighs 8.5 lbs
31.8 cm (W) x 10.2 cm (H) x 26.7 cm (D), weighs 3.9 kg
These people know this is a console, right?

The size doesn't really bother me these days. Sure, the Dreamcast and Gamecube are handy little things, but I'm not really one for moving my systems around and I likewise don't mind dedicating a fair chunk of my room to my entertainment hub ![<img src=]()
" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
That said, it is one big ugly bastard! Considering the Sony fanboys made such a noise about the Xbox being a chunky, ugly console, it is quite humourous seeing them go back on their original stance and stick up for the PS3's "larger than life" form![<img src=]()

They should at least make it like a DVD recorder so you can stack them. 10cm high sounds quite extreme, though.

I just thought I'd bring this up just to warn some people here so they don't get ripped off. Wait to buy a PS3.
This isn't meant as a "Sony bashing" comment. But, apparently, there are a lot of issues with the PS3's being sold right now (more buggy than the launch PS2s!). While, it seems to be able to run the PS3 games alright (which it may have issues with, I haven't heard anything though) it can't play old generation titles very well (or at all in most cases). This is odd, since the PS3 has the same chips as the PS2 (No, it doesn't use the Cell effectively here) but, it stands.
Unless you plan on spending all your time just playing the PS3 launch titles or if you need it for work obviously, then don't buy one for at least 6 months, just so Sony isn't rushing to get this thing out there and sold before other companies.
I'm sure this is obvious to a lot of people, but hey, I don't know. I'm trying to save you some hassle and crushed hopes.

I haven't heard how extreme the situation with that is, but its a shame that consoles can't seem to launch without a myriad of issues these days ![<img src=]()
" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif"> I'm planning on stockpiling a few of the last good PS2 games to play on a PS3 so they don't look like arse on my HDTV (it's a tragedy what those things do to old games if they aren't upscaled ![<img src=]()
" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">) so backwards compatibility from the get-go is of concern to me. Hopefully they'll improve matters for the European launch.

More information.
The PS3 doesn't upscale anything as far as I know. If a game can run in an HD format on a PS2 then I imagine it will (eventually) on a PS3 also, but it doesn't take a game that runs on non-HD and upscale it to HD or anything like that. After all, for PS2 and PS1 emulation, it simply has the processors used in the PS2. So, technically, the PS2 "emulation" isn't really an emulation at all. (That's something that makes this kind of information so perplexing!)
I could be wrong, of course, but that's just how I understand it.

Awwww, lame ![<img src=]()
" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif"> I don't use my 360 all that much for backwards compatibility, but it is nice being able to play some of my old games in 720p. They don't look much better than they used to or anything, but the clincher is they don't look worse, which they most certainly do on an HDTV if you don't upscale them! Now if only Microsoft would release the compatibility updates for the games people ACTUALLY still want to play - nobody gives a s**t about Fifa 2004 or other generic yearly update titles; give us Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, and all the other great one-off games!

Check it out, guys, I live in Kazakhstan!
I just read a few interesting details about Borat. Apparently it was filmed in a mud-hole of a village in Europe's very own Kazakhstan, Romania. It turns out that the villagers were told that the crew members were filming a documentary about poverty in Eastern-Europe. And get this, after deceiving them and basically making them humiliate themselves based on the premise that they would do anything for some money, in the end each villager received the "handsome" sum of 150.000 lei, which comes down to about 5USD.
Damn, now I really want to see this movie

You should check out the earlier TV shows. They're probably even more dense when it comes to pure Borat humor. No intro scenes with horses pulling wrecked cars and so on, just a mysterious idiot with a microphone. genius!

Heard on the radio this morning and found it apt for many here:
Which would you rather be best known for after you pass away...
Some one who was nice, but did nothing noteworthy, or someone who did something noteworthy but everyone hates?
