I'm playing the movie normally now up to the chapter it seems to stall out from to see if its just the chapter changing or not.


Could be your burn.

I haven't had any issues like you described with either film, and to be honest between here, FE.com and 'Spleen, this is the first I've heard of this too. Weird.

For some reason that torrent isn't working for me.


Which is why at the bottom there are two links where you can download the torrent as well.

Sometimes MySpleen is glitchy with torrents, so DJ put the links at the bottom.

This is what you mean, right?

My e-mail is Tack_the_Cobbler24@yahoo.com. Thank you.


If anyone asks you for money for any disc, not just this one, they are ripping you off. Be careful.

go ride´m hard texas cowboy!


Oh, not this shit again.

You know, between this stunt and people like OCP being allowed over at the other place, it's a slap in the face to every thing the fan edit hobby stands for.

Just when I thought everything was back to normal and OK, this crap has to start up again.

Plus, now that OCP is back in the loop it is an affront and insult to every hard working fan editor and predervationist out there who had their hard work sold by this guy, TR47 and a bunch of others. Now he's welcomed back and someone from "over there" has to come here and bring this baloney up again?

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this, and that site should be ashamed for condoning the selling of fan edits which is in contravene to the very rules of the site.

Now, a lot of hard working and talented people are being scared off because of this drama and the fact that they can't showcase their work anymore without a fear that they will be ripped off AGAIN.

Enough of this shit. Grow up.

Yeah, it depends if you have a penchant for "classic" arcade games or not.

The Street Fighter II releases is quite good. Geometry Wars is addictive and fun. Small Arms is like SSBros. with zoo creatures and weapons, and there are a few other gems.

I worry about the Halo 3 episodic content filling up hard drives, and I would like the option of downloading HD movies (States only right now)....

Now, have you heard anything about this game?...

HOLY SHIT, NEVERMIND - this is BIG news. I don;t know if this is a joke, but it looks like Xbox Live got hacked and people's accounts are being messed with, namely purchasing more points, spending points and generally fucking things up. Holy crap, I need to check my account....

EDIT- It looks like there are a few isolated incidences of account hacking (possibly through phishing) and it might not be a widespread problem, though it is concerning....I always tend to overreact.

I will always respect and enjoy the Prequels for what they are, even if I like them less than the OT.

I agree with most of your perceptions though, and I just couldn't help but wonder if they would have been better if Anakin had of been a teen in EPI, Darth Maul is the main baddie in all of them, and then in EPIII Anakin cuts down Maul in revenge (Sith concept) over Qui-Gonn and then takes his place at the Emperor's side...seems so simple it would have worked...

I'd salivate if Metroid Prime 3 came in a Samus-helmet case. O_O

Of course, given my lack of extra funds, I'd probably just get the standard version anyway.

As for the Black 360, I really don't care much. Yeah, a 100 GB harddrive is nice, but I already have a 360 and don't use it for anything other than gaming. I don't need all that extra space.


With the relaxing of size limitations on XBLA downloads, I do fear that 20gb is not nearly enough. Considering that out of the box, the 360 only has about 13gb available to you between the OS and HD content which you may or may not delete.

Between all of these great games now (TMNT, C: SoTN and so on) I'm starting to be moderately concerned about running out of space. I was one of the idiots who downloaded the entire Lumines package, though.

What bothers me is that Microsoft is unclear about what your rights are with downloaded content. With Nintendo, they are very clear that any games you download are yours in perpetuity, but MS has burned people with corrupted hard drives into having to pay for downloaded content again. So what happens if you fill up your 20gb hard drive but don't want to delete Small Arms? Ms. Pac-Man? Geometry Wars? I wish there was a better way, considering (I don't believe) you can back up games to a memory card....or can you?

*sigh*

I know, but only way to familiarize yourself with this place is to get your feet wet, right?

Search for information on Rikter's release of the Holiday Special. It had close to 100 Kenner commercials on it.

Although no where near a Professional, I like to cook. It's just something that relaxes me and I like to constantly learn and improve.

When it comes to baking, you need to strictly follow a recipe for the goods to turn out right. One forgotten ingredient or imprecise amount can royally screw things up.

So the way I look at it is that humans are just really, really advanced beings created out of some cosmic recipe.

Either there is an omnipotent chef at work to make sure all of the right ingredients were in the exact amount, at the exact time and at the exact conditions for us to develop the way we have, or we are one giant cluster-f%*k of a mistake.

I tend to go with the former, which is why I believe in God but not organized religion - a fundamental difference many lose sight of.

Has anyone seen this?

It is reportedly a new limited edition version of the Xbox 360 with these specs:

-Black case
-HDMI port
-120GB hard drive
-$479
-No HD-DVD drive (buy separate).

The magazine (Game Informer) that is running this, has denied that it is an April Fool's Day joke, so there may be some credibility to the rumour. Given the fact that Microsoft is notorious for tinkering with their products (the 360 has already gone through 3 different disc drive revisions!) and the fact that they had a lot of egg on their face for not initially having an HDMI port, I'm putting this one in the likely category.

As an early adopter of the 360, I'll be a little miffed if this pans put. Where's the loyalty? I'm a console gamer so that I only have to upgrade every 4-5 years, not after a year and a half of the damn thing being released.

Hey Nanner - didn't see your link. LOL.

Yeah, that's the one I have but I'm just not crazy about it. I can see how people would like it, but I have to really be in the mood for that sort of thing.

I can't believe that site had the Oracle OST's. I've been looking for those for a while...now if I could just find the Metroid Prime OST somewhere like that...

The version that is done by on the Hyrule Symphony CD (orchestral renditions of all of the main music in OoT) of the Gerudo Valley Theme is awesome.

If you guys haven't heard this disc you should definately seek it out - it's amazing. There's this Ocarina Medley at the end, which, if you're a fan of this games soundtrack, will bring a tear to your eye...

Interesting...

Looks like Sony might be losing more PS3 exclusives. While it still has Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII, Capcom is going to release Devil May Cry 4 on the 360 and the PS3.

DMC4 Not Exclusive

It's a bold move, IMHO, but not a big surprise. Capcom has had great success with Microsoft recently, with Dead Rising and Lost Planet being two of the handful of games that have been met with success in the tricky Japanese market. It will be weird to have the fourth installment of a game franchise on a system which hasn't had any of the other games in the series, but here's hoping they get ported over as a compilation title or something.

Things are definately heating up for the 360 (no pun intended), with this news and other great titles set to release. In case you guys didn't hear, Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night is up for download tomorrow. Have at you!
