Dazed

My top ten (no order)

 

1) GTA: SA

 

2) MVP Baseball 2005

 

3) Gran Tourismo 4

 

4) Fight Night: Round 2

 

5) Socom II (old but online is still great)

So I recently rented this game. The storyline is great. He has to stop the Sands of Time from being created in order to prevent his demise. He has to find the Queen and kill her before she creates the Sands while he has a huge beast looking to kill him for escaping death the first time. The beast is sort of like the Grim Reaper. Anyways, the story intertwines while you skip forward and backwards in time fighting enemies and solving puzzles to complete your goal, great story, and a great game. If you liked the Legacy of Kain series you will love this game. I give it a 10.

I've never played the Prince of Persia, but some people say it's good and other say it's not. How are the graphics in the game? I've read some reviews on it right when it was released and some sites were gicing them a great rating...while others were giving it an OK rating.

 

Anyways I'll probably rent it too, jsut to see if it's good.

I think bidding at the last second is the only way to go.  If people all bid near the beginning or at anytime other than the final 20 seconds, the prices tend to be higher because everyone is driving up the bid.  I find that jumping on something in the last second gives better results because people won't have a chance to increase their bid beyond what they have already put in.

ya that is what everyone does, or at least the frequent ebay buyers. they all wait until the last minute then thats when all the bidding goes down. I can even tell you how many times i've been out bidded in the last 25 seconds of an auction.

the first Xbox which is still currently on sale was a big peice of junk... graphics...mmm... most of the games I could see there pixles and there bad games... I only got an xbox for the hacking....now my xbox is a media hardware...running media center...lovly...^.^

 

I dont plan to get an Xbox 2 as long as it meats my needs I have allways bought only Nintendo systems but by Older Brother buys others for the fun.... yes hacking fun...

I think ps2 is much better then xbox and the new ps3 will be incredible. The only game that still has people playing xbox is Halo 2. So when/if they come out with an xbox 2, there going to need to get something big because the halo craze will die.

Photo manipulation

 

I just used Bush as an example, i'm not trying to offend anyone...

 

We take these two pictures:

&

 

What i did was transfer Britney's left eye to Bush's left eye.  We'll select bush's left eye - make a marquee around it : it's imporant to draw it around his eyelid.  Once you have that do "select -> modify -> expand : 5".  Then do "select -> feather : 5".  Then you go to gaussian blur and choose it until it looks like Bush's skin tone.

 

----

 

Before we take Britney's eye, use the eraser at hardness 0% and brush mode and smooth the edges of Bush's edited area...

Now, just simply lasso-marquee a marquee around Britney's left eye and cut & paste it on the Bush image.  Again, the edges will be jagged so smooth them out with the eraser.  I advise you use the eraser at hardness 0% instead of feather.  Now, take a small area from under Bush's right eye and copy & paste it, flip it horizontally and move it to the left.  Smooth it out again with the eraser to make it blend in.  Under Bush's left eye now there is a area with no depth.  Use the burn tool at a small size to correct that and make the wrinkles.  Good luck!

 

Sorry that my explanations may seem vague, but people like Becca etc should know how, or just ask someone!

 

RESULT:[/i][/u]

 

Out of 10, how well does it blend in.  By the left eye, i mean the left side.

It looks perfect until you actually click on the pic. Then you see how small one eye is compared to the other. But it still looks good.

 

And like someone else said above me, don't use the blur use the healing brush to get a MUCH better effect with it. But over it's not bad.

 

7/10

okkk got me pressies got some cash too a little wad of notes here totalling ?70

 

the question is what should i spend it on!

 

i was looking at a PSP but pre orders are ?140 ..ebay are selling them for ?380..which is just daft ..and i dunno how much it would be to import 1 from japan...hmm maybe not

 

i then decided to look for mp3 players...ipods zens.. etc etc but they dont seem to start till about ?140...aw

 

i was just on firebox and Robosapien seems a bit of fun..but is this bit of fun really worth ?70!

 

basically..does anyone know any cool gadgets around ?70..if there ?80..?100 fair enough ill save up if there like ?150+ well..my uni loan does come through on jan 8th which would give me some more money buttt im just looking for some advice on wot to blow this on..for the first time in a number of years im actually happy with my pcs so i dont feel the need to spend anymore of them which leaves me rather..confused

your best bet is to save it untill you find something your REALLY want. I know when i get alot of money i tend to spend it quickly. Then a week later i see something i wanted and SHOULD'VE bought.

 

So ya, I would save it

Well, I think it's mainly since I've been using the internet that I've gotten more and more passwords. In the beginning it was easy, and I could remember them all. But I was online more and I got more and more accounts and forgetting passwords or using the right password, but in the wrong place. So I started writing them down on a piece of paper. But then I realised that a paper wasn't very handy. So then I started using software to keep track of my passwords. I mainly started using software because I came across the website of the guy who made a free app to do it.

 

This was several years ago, the guy who made is was Bruce Schneier (a well known computer security and cryptology guy) and the app was Password Safe. Since then Bruce has stopped developing Password Safe and instead made it open source and given it to a development team who continue to work on it.

I still use Password Safe, but I would like to know how you keep track of your passwords. Do you keep it all in your head? Do you write it down on paper? Do you use software? Do you tell your mom and call her whenever you forget a password? Tell us your solution!

 

If you want to try out Password Safe you can get it from their project page.

I onyl use two different passwords for everything i sign up for. So for me its pretty easy to remember the pws. I know its not too safe to have the same pw for eveything, but ehh it helps me remember.

ok this really pissed me off, who has heard that new retarded reissue of slayers raining blood song. i heard it the other day and almost punched out a few people. i have nothing agesnt these new songs that mix metal and rap together, some of them actually sound good like that necro and obituary track. but hearing little jon going quote "stop *BLEEP*ing with me" over and over and over to the raining blood beat really got me steamed, i hate this *BLEEP* with a passon now. damn that *BLEEP* is stupid. lil jon is a no talent loser that needs to get out of the music scene like right now. and i cant believe slayer let this happen, shame on them, this is a sad day in metal history

I never liked lil jon...but i haven't heard the song your talking about. Im downloading it right now, then I'll tell ya what i think about it..

if google can offer 1gb gmail service, it can also offer web hosting service, with great feature, for free.                                                                                                               

unlike email services, now the market of webhosting is so divided and nobody really dominates, there are so many small hosting business. imagine google provide a free hosting service, say 1gt space, how long will it take before google takes over this business?                                                                                                             

and it makes sense for google to provide such services, indeed google will be able to gain ultamate access to numerous web servers.

I think that's a great idea. They have probably already thought of it though. Maybe there in the process of doing it now for all we know

 

That would be a great way for them to advertise too...even though they are EVERYWHERE now!

Actually I'm not into brands so much.. I don't care if it's adidas or nike or something else. I have some things from adidas, some from nike.

They are holding on good, with good quality but so do others.

I first look at the design, price and then I'll buy it if it's good and not very expensive. I don't buy only adidas or nike..

But I like adidas more, I have more adidas things and they're good...

41379[/snapback]

Ya im the same way. If it looks nice and the price is reasonable i buy it. I don't care if its Nike or Adidas. I have bought more nike shoes then adidas, but its not because i like ONLY nike...its that I like nike's style (ie. Nike Shox)

PS2 hands down

 

sony has been in the gaming department alot longer the microsoft.  for sony its experiance technique graphics stories and more

Ya ps2 is much better then xbox. The only game xbox has goign for it is Halo. If it wasn't for halo, they would have nothing.

Albert Einstein's Brain was cutted to 240 pieces.

and found that some part of his brain bigger size than normal people

 

all of have hear this news before?

 

1. I curious what the scientist want to do after the research A.Einstein 's brain

 

2. is it posible, if got people want to become more clever, then he ask scientist(or doctor) to make it(the some part of brain) bigger size ? lol

*maybe is a silly post, but what you guys think about this Albert Einstein's brain issue ?

42595[/snapback]

Ya, I doubt that his brain was bigger then average. And i don't get why they would chop up his brain in 240 pieces!!! Why wouldn't they like preserve it, in its full entire size.

Don't get SP2!

 

Wow...if you can at all avoid it, do.  Before I got SP2 (even with XP), my computer NEVER crashed...or did so maybe once every 3 months.  Now it does it regularly (with SP2).

 

And the firewall is a completely different story.  It limits connections that can be established by P2P software (at least the kind that I have, which isn't cool), and it blocks stupid stuff like Firefox!  I mean...that's a freaking browser, and it gets blocked!

 

Argh...I hate it.  And I've read tons of stuff that says that SP2 just makes your computer more vunerable to attacks.  If it wasn't for PCCillin'...I would probably be in big trouble.

39303[/snapback]

Wow, I haven't had a problem with SP2. If anything I think it helped, but from reading what you guys posted..i have no idea if im just having some GOOD luck or what.

i use..... LoL Many of them

 

1. Firefox: My friends can make it a lot faster by reducing some unseful script, i dunno how to do that or he just blaughed at me

2. Opera: Yeah it's damn fast, but i dunno how to set javascript become available in opera, and since opera don't have activeX plugin, i can't use it to open my gmail account, for gmail i use

3. IE 6: hahaha LoL everybody will finally go back to IE, it is complete after all

41783[/snapback]

Ya i switch off between Mozilla FireFoz and also Internet Explorer. I still prefer IE6 over FireFox anyday.

Well, it's been roughly a week since the debut of the Mac Mini and the iPod shuffle, and Mac enthusaists are basically scarmbling for orders of the new Mac Mini and iPod shuffle, analysts say that the iPod shuffle will dominate the faslh-based players market, and that the Mac Mini will take a somewhat large chunk of the personal computer market, I peronsally prefer the Windows OS, but as Windows seems to have so much more vulernablilites than the Macinotishes, even I'm thinking about switching to a Mac Mini. (It's only $500 ). Anyone else have the same opinions?

42377[/snapback]

I would prefer the iPod shuffle....i never really liked Mac
