Game: Switchball

5layer — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:42:14 GMT

I found this really awesome game called Switchball. Its grpahics are really really good and it needs a good PC to run well. Its a really fun game where you control a ball in a 3D Obstacle course with lots of physics puzzles in it. Its really an interesting game and I think everyone should give it a try. You can get it off The Pirate Bay and its only 117 MB there for a full version.

I've played the game for ages and it really pulls you in if you play it. I would highly recommend everyone ...

My xbox360 got the red ring of death today.

Red ring of death today...called xbox live support and I have to send it away to be serviced. Lukily I had 3 weeks left on my warranty. I know I know, it breaks all the rules, everyone knows that your equipment has to break the day after the warranty expires, not beforehand!

Anyhow, I looked up the red ring details, and the error code (E74) and it turns out my problem is to do with the GPU. I have read that it is possbily the solder becoming loose and the unit is not making a good connection ...

Game: De Blob

5layer — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:47:41 GMT

After looking for a bunch of games with good Physics in them, I came upon a completely free game called 'De Blob' which I found to be extremely fun. The download is 96 MB and its definetely worth it. It has good 3D graphics and can run on most PCs (and laptops) which means everyone can enjoy it. In the game, you control this man-eating blob that rolls around a large city. It may not seem like its all that great, but its a really fun game!

Pokemon Games

5layer — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:19:40 GMT

I think we should all get a copy of VBAlink and a copy of any of the pokemon games. That way, we can trade Pokemon with each other and battle each other over hamachi. That should be really fun. You can even have 2v2 in the newer pokemon games. So go out there people and get them today. Also, in VBAlink, make sure your save type is set to flash 128bit as it will not save otherwise and you need to save in order to be able to trade and battle with each other.

We might not be able to play Black Mesa without buying hl2 off steam

SkyFort — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 04:04:37 GMT

For those who don't know what black mesa is, it is a mod for hl2 that ports hl1 into the source engine. Pretty much like half life source, the only difference is HLS still had old crappy textures from the original half life, overally people who played HLS says it sucks. So a group of people decided to make truely make hl1 with hl2 graphics.

Unfortunatly for us(those who don't own hl2 legally), we might not be able to ever play this. On their website it say it will require a legal version ...
