After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

It's designed to kill most typing sins. If you're not bastardising the language or using roman numerals, you'll not encounter the filtering of your posts.



Yeah, it's petty easy to figure out what it's being used for based on how it changes them and I've got no problems with that, but there are times when it gets in the way, like when you're referring to keys on a keyboard or gamepad and saying something like “Press are to reload” or “hold down Ctrl + you to underline” will just confuse people, not everyone will use quotation marks (or re-proof read their post after submitting).

Something that can disables it for a certain sentence or paragraph would be nice."

"The filtered for improved legibility thing keeps changing stuff like my caps are to are, I think I already know the reason why it’s needed but it sometime makes it harder to understand what someone is saying, especially when you need to use a caps you in the middle of a sentence.
How about an off switch?

As for touch screen, I think it would be a horrible idea for Sony to go that route. First, they'd be treading too much into the DS territory. While it's not a bad idea, that's basically the main gimmick of the DS and it would also alienate all of their previous games, so basically you'd be getting a mix of games like the DS owners get now with the DS and DSi. Honestly speaking, I wouldn't want to have to pay more money for a touch screen either, especially when I highly doubt I would really use it.


I don’t think it would be that bad an addition, especially since the buttons will be locked away for most of the time when you’re on the move it would be easier to scroll or FFW tracks than having to slide the buttons out, Plus I’d love a touch screen keyboard.


CrimsonCyanide

I know they can't add a second analog stick because it'd be worthless for any of the previous titles that weren't programmed with one.


Well, I don’t remember that many complains when they added "L" & "R" shoulder buttons to the GBA, except for changing the screen size they were pretty useless on older games as well. Plus if I recall correctly there were some PS1 games that use both sticks, what if I want to play one of those?
Anyway, I’m not going to complain about a second analog stick this time since the GO is just remodeled PSP and not the PSP2 everyone was expecting.


I still don’t like it, the buttons are too close for my taste, it’s like moving from a DS to a Gameboy pocket.
Imagine trying to use both the left analog, D pad and shoulder buttons while tapping triangle at the same, think of how something like Monster Hunter would feel on it.
And one more thing, where are the TV out and USB ports, will we have to connect to a PC using WiFi or Bluetooth? And what’s that slot at the bottom can anyone ID it?
The only selling point I see would be the 16GB of internal memory, just hope I can access it from the PC or I wouldn’t be able burn my store downloads to DVD anymore.

I'm glad they got rid off the UMD drive, but I don't like the fact that they didn't replace it with something more functional and went with no drive instead. having to download all the games can be a pain for some people, plus having no physical back up. And what if I want to get my old PSP games on it? Will I have to buy a second digital copy?

The 16GB of internal flash memory is a nice addition, especially when combined with the Memory Stick Micro slot, Now we can keep the PSP specific content like games and videos on the actual console and free up more space on the stick for music, that's definitely a plus for me since I use the same Memory stick in my phone because the PSPs battery life and size makes it a crappy mp3 player.

The things I don't like are the design and button layout, it looks really uncomfortable to me, the concept pic that was floating around the net before looks way better. I can't comment on technical stuff like RAM and processing power yet but I feel I'm going to be disappointed.

Overall, I think they are marketing this towards casual gamers or people who just use them for the web and videos, and although I think it's too cell-phony already I still wanted a few touch screen functions.

I hope they make some changes before the release like what they did with the PS3 boomerang controller."

The Toilet

6 months 1 week ago

"Well, I grew up in a house filled with women and I've come to the conclusion that women never look before they sit (at least when they're home), because every time I left the seat up one of them would fall in and there would be a scream. It even happened to a friend at her apartment recently.
Anyway, It's been programmed into me since I was a kid, so now kinda just do it without thinking most of the time, same with keeping the lid up.

Same as Longbow I also try to touch as little as I can in public restrooms, I even try to avoid directly touching the tap and the handle on the door when I'm leaving.

Newlywed Wife Sells Husband’s PS3 for Fun

6 months 1 week ago

"
Original Article
The tale of a newly wedded husband whose wife secretly sold his PS3 and games to watch his shocked reaction when she told him has given rise to a storm of outrage, with thousands uniting in disgusted condemnation of the deed.

The story concerns a man who was something of a gamer and happily enjoying Winning Eleven on his PS3, and his wife who was not apparently pleased with this state of affairs.

The couple had just wed, when in the party following the service the curious question came up in a quiz: “How much would his PS3 and games fetch if sold?” Guesses were invited, but that was all.

The man’s wife, who wasn’t comfortable with her husband’s gaming, decided to take things a step further however, and in the continuing festivities the day after the groom was reduced to stunned silence on seeing the actual sale price of his beloved console and games come up on the screen, to peals of laughter from the crowd. It all fetched just shy of $200.

It transpired his wife and her friends had secretly sold the console whilst he was otherwise engaged.

He can certainly buy another console and all his games (whether his wife is willing to contribute anything towards this is another matter), but it seems his precious save data is all lost for eternity.

Soon the question was posted on Yahoo! Answers (”Chiebukuro” in Japan): “My friend’s wife sold his PS3 and all his games, can he ever forgive this?” and huge interest followed, with hundreds of thousands of hits and thousands of responses.

A few opinions were of the opinion that “It’s just a console” and “You’ll laugh about this later”, but the vast majority were completely outraged:

Comments:
“Just selling his stuff, that’s a crime isn’t it?”
“Of course he’d be furious…”
“That is despicable, if it were me I’d file for divorce.”
“I cried when I read the question.”
“What if this were a beloved pet - could you say ‘It’s just a pet after all’?”
“This lady is going to become one of those mothers who just toss out their children’s manga and collectibles.”
“My husband is the same, I feel a bit lonely at time. But selling his data too, it’s too much. Isn’t selling people’s things a crime anyway? I’d divorce and have nothing to do with the friends involved.”
“This is an outrage!”
“This is just criminal conduct, surely. I’d divorce immediately and report her!”
“This is horrible, but I don’t think someone who doesn’t game can really understand…”
“Impossible!”
“This is just the worst sort of thing you could do…”
“Just selling people’s things is not something I think easy to forgive.”
“This is grounds for divorce! Criminal!”
“Even practical jokes have limits. I couldn’t forgive this.”
“This just shows contempt for his interests.”
“Would you want to go on with someone like this? If not, then file for divorce immediately…”

Even non-gamers were incensed, pointing out that erasing people’s data and selling their things are indeed unforgivable. The actual answer selected as “best” was a typically trite piece explaining how the man should prioritise his dear wife over any of his interests.


Sorry, I would normally link you to the source but the site is NSFW question posted here

If I were in the poor guys shoes I wouldn’t be that upset over losing the PS3 and games, since they can always be bought back, what I’d be angry about is the fact that she sold the stuff without my permission , only got $200 for it and did it all for a laugh. Not the best way to start a life together IMO.

Could you forgive this behavior from a spouse?

"Don't know if these were mentioned, I stop keeping track of this thread somewhere around page 25
How about bringing back the related articles thing the forum had awhile back so we can find threads with similar topics kinda like how the tags work in image galleries?

Also a list on the first page of this thread with the stuff already rejected or accepted would be nice, it would cut down on repeat suggestions.

One more thing, this isn't a suggestions it's more of a question. What happens if someone quotes something like a 300 word post when their posting a comment, will it have an effect on the papers they receive? If so something should be done about that.

Is anyone else disappointed with the Soul Eater ending?

6 months 3 weeks ago

"Well it was sort of expected, Though it wasn't really the punch that defeated him it was whole “courage is in everyones heart just like fear so your reason for being is invalid” logic that took him down, after that she could have just thrown a pebble or something at him and the results would be the same.

The fight between Kishin, Kid & BlackStar was probably the best of the entire series (I think I even developed a bit of respect for BlackStar) and the whole Maka having weapon blood was still kinda cool, I spent most of the series wondering why she didn't inherit it from her father since he was one of the strongest, still a shame we didn't get to her BlackBlood dress though.

Anyway, the series was going great until they split off from the original story so they could wrap things up within the few episodes they had remaining, anime original endings are well known for this sort of thing they always tend to snatch defeat form the jaws of certain victory. The only good one I can remember is probably Niceboat.

Tal
After 20 attempts I finally get in and who do I fight? RYU AND KEN!

Please pick someone else -_-



CrimsonCyanide
As for what you said about Ryu and Ken. Well, to me it reminds me of MK 2 on PSN. Everyone plays as Sub-Zero or Scorpion. I can understand, being that the two have nearly identical movesets and very little difference is between them. People lack variety and prefer to take the 'safe' bet. They'd much rather play as characters that people are most familiar with, instead of branching out more. I'm hoping the longer it's out, the more people will expand their variety. In all fairness, I play as a multitude of characters.


Well, since their moves don't change very much between games it's pretty easy to just pick up a controller and fight without needing to learn new moves and at least the Ryu and Ken users don't complain about not being familiar the characters moves when they lose.

For the game itself I think it's okay, my fingers haven't hurt this much since Devil May Cry3, after playing some of the older 3D ones I didn't think I'd like this one but it turned out okay and still has the same old street fighter feel to it. Could use some more characters though.

Sex before marriage?

2 years 11 months ago

"My view on this has changed a lot over the last few years, At first I was for marriage before sex mainly because of the stuff that can result from having sex like children, I really didn’t like the fact that my parents weren’t married when they had me and when they finally did get married it was to other people.

Just because a relationship has lasted a long time doesn't mean it will last forever, my parents were together for over seven years and didn't break up until the year I was born. Even if they were married there was nothing stopping them from separating afterwards.

What really changed my view was when I experienced something similar, awhile back I was with someone who's parents would have probably killed them if they had ever had sex outside of marriage and we were young so it was impossibly for us to get married so we deiced to wait and after few years of moving and long distances relationships we drifted apart, when we did finally get back together the love was gone, When I think back on the whole thing now I'm actually glad I waited.

If you are planning on staying "Pure" until you find your perfect someone just ask yourself what if after you give yourself to them it turns out they aren't what you thought they were, What if after a few years or even months of marriage you decide to separate and then you find a new perfect someone, what if your new someone had the same views you did and wants a virgin? No matter if you had sex before or after marriage you can never get the "Purity" back.


BTW, is it really wrong to check the goods before you buy them?

"I’ve been randomly picking themes in the CSS Public list and a lot for what I get are unusable, their either older versions of the default that someone kept or something that someone started experimenting with and never finished, anyway the CSS Public list is starting to look like what the groups were in V3.

My point is it would be really nice if you guys could monitor what gets added to the Public list kinda like how you approve the groups before they get added, I think that would be best since you’re planning on making CSS creation easier and that would lead to more people uploading them.

And the minimize function was a nice touch but how about making the content on the front page movable so people can rearrange them to how they see fit, kinda like how it’s done on the Google Personalized Homepages?

Dead Harddrive

3 years 3 months ago

"Well, the details on the Harddrive are Here under the Specifications tab, the details on what happened are as follows:

It was clicking for about 8 minutes before the computer stopped detecting it. I tried it on different computers multiples times since with the same result and the drive was definitely hotter than usual when I removed it.

For cooling the case uses two 12Volt fans (the case can only hold three) one at the front near the harddrives and one at the rear, the case was also open at the time and the case temperature was about 41° C / 105° F.

Also, I’m considering some of the options you guys mentioned and don’t worry about space for the data, I have bigger drives I can recover it to.

Memory Dilemma

3 years 5 months ago

Saka4Rob10

I think that buying new components and picking all that you can use out of the Dell is a good idea.
I do the same, i always buy parts to upgrade in steps not all in the same time; obviously, motherboard & ... needs to be changed in one time but there's other secondary things which can wait.



GoldenApe
Depending on your present type of HDD and Videocard, you could keep those, same as your PSU, DVD player, etc. I even think you could keep the Dell case, which saves you some work.



Thanks for the input everyone, I’ve already started shopping around for a motherboard and processor and picking out what I can reuse.


Evinta
I guess your processor is less than a ghz.

Anyways i suggest you get a PCI-E graphics card with DDR2 ram and a good motherboard. The only thing i can see about you gaining from your dell is your HD, of course also your motior and that.


The Processor was a 2.4 Pentium 4 it isn’t that bad I would reuse it but I’m not sure if I can get a motherboard that is compatible with it. And it had a 256 video card, I plan on reusing it for now. Same goes for the hard drives, DVD drives, monitor, speakers ect.


mikageryuji

warning: the dell PSU is proprietary. you can only use them on dell systems (unless you are willing to do some re-wiring and re-splicing on the 20-pin connector). as for the dell chassis, some motherboards may not fit in them due to the chassis' design. and considering the fact that you will customize your pc, you may also get a nice fan for your new processor. dell's cooling systems are passive-type coolers. that's why they use those green shrouds on the processor area.



I’m changing the PSU and the case, the new Power Supply probably won’t fit the dell chassis anyway and a new case and fan would really improve the cooling.

Memory Dilemma

"Ok so I’ve had this Dell I bought about three or four years ago and I haven’t had any problems with it until now.

Anyway last week it just stopped turning on, and it turns out one of the memory sticks went bad (probably because of heat damage).

My problem is it uses RDRAM, PC1066 to be specific and it needs to be installed in pairs and I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve checked every store I could find and none of them have it so tried online and the prices at the places I went were like $200 and up, so if you guys know where I can get a good deal let me know.

If this doesn’t workout I’m also considering just building a new computer that uses DDR and reusing the drives, monitor and ect from the dell, which is probably best in the long run.

What do you guys think?
