Bioshock 1 and 2 Preorder in the 4 pack.

Don't have either, playing through bioshock in the next two weeks and hoping BS2's multiplayer isnt crappy both in difficulty to connect (borderlands was awful) and overall play.

A friend gifted me Psychonauts on Steam, said he was in a gifting mood and the game was only 2€

Nokia 3720. Replaces my old 8600 Luna which was getting about 40 minutes talktime on a full charge.

Samsung M310 as replacement for my (feels almost like a decade) old Motorola C140
Mass Effect 2 Collectors Edition (PC)

PaintShop Photo Pro X3 upgrade.


And wow, did they do a hurried job on this one. Again. Severely in need of patching. So anyone considering it: wait for a bit.

My experience so far:

The pros
- Improved RAW support. Images appear vivid. At first I even thought it did a better job than DPP...
- HDR seemed quite a bit better, mostly due to pro #1 I reckon.

The cons
- RAW support is still insufficient. Highlights do not show details when opened in PSP, whereas they do in DPP. They're just blown out instead. Pictures where flash were used turned out utterly horrible, mostly due to this. Therefore, on second thought, RAW support is still horrible.
- Bug-ridden.
- Does not read exif data properly from TIF or JPG images. I'm hoping this is part of the bug list. Otherwise I'm just screwed.


It's supposed to have new features as well, maybe I'll find out about those later. Right now, it's pretty much a disappointment. Should've been more polished after all the development time.

As soon as JASC were bought by Corel, I knew PSP would suck from then on. JASC knew how to do a good "poor-mans" version of Photoshop. Corel are always way too ambitious, but without the skill, money or testing that would allow them to compete with Adobe.

edit: I'll clarify slightly; I uses to use CorelDraw Suite 5 as it was included with the first PC I ever had... even then it used to crash regularly.

Yay! My gelaskins arrived

Shouldn't you of put that on. the other way so when you use it it looks...right?

Yea, I just noticed the same thing.

I think apple laptops used to be the same, upside down when open, right side up when closed.

Yeah got it for me to look at, not other people to look at

When it's on my desk and opened it's up against stuff so not many people are going to see it lol but when it's closed and sitting on my desk, everyone can see it.

A DVD Burner. My old one kicked the bucket.

New 5870 ordered a few days ago, should arrive tomorrow, but i think i'll first finish my exams next week before i can put it in and test it out.

also bought freedom force + freedom force vs. the third reich on steam this weekend for 2€

classic

also:

I've had one of those when I was a kid. In fact, I still have it. Picked it up and it's now in front of me. Went through several wristbands, which was the only real drawback. It has 7-93 engraved in it, which is the purchase date. That's almost 17 years, wow. And know what? It's still running, less than 15 seconds off the correct time (apart from being summer time, but that'll get sorted in a few months). It's never had a battery change. Currently it has no wristband, but it still serves as a backup in case my current watch needs repairs or something like that. Quality stuff.

I had one when i was younger (I am still quite young), but it broke. Water resistant is not the same as waterproof... Anyways, since these things are great i thought i'd get myself one. For 'old' times sake ;p.
