My Playthrough of Zelda: Parallel Worlds

I was thinking of recording an entire playthrough of this game and this is the first segment of my playthrough. I find the sound of my voice isn't very good/clear so I might end up adding annotations to the videos rather then speaking over the game. (Or just not add anything to the videos except in ...

Re: Virtual PC software...

I thought VMWare Player didn't support the ability to create virtual machines, it only supported running existing virtual machines. Last time I tried it a fair few months ago it crashes whenever trying to run a Virtual PC virtual machine via it (A supposedly supported process).

Re: What good Xbox360 and Xbox Live exclusive games should I

I'd like to extend the selection of games I'm interested in to include compatible Xbox titles, the Xbox360 still has limited backwards compatibility right?

Re: Article about how desktop UIs changed over the years

From memory Windows 95c (OEM) was pretty darn stable but Windows 95b, 95a and 95 were all terrible/crash prone messes. 98SE is indeed a separate O/S with it's main selling point being USB support though Microsoft only included like 5 USB drivers with Windows and didn't offer USB drivers through Wind...

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Noooooooooooooot me. Motion controlled action games FTL, and Zelda in general FTL. I would say the last truly good one was LTTP, and sadly the direction the series has taken since then has been all of the bad/mediocre parts of LTTP and put a focus on them. Almost every good thing added since then h...

It took less then 24 hours to get the game after deciding to get it, Spending 30$ more to lessen such a short waiting period would just be silly.

Re: What good digital Steam Key sellers sell Skyrim?

I ended up going through the motions of buying it from GreenManGaming a 2nd time after there website recovered and this time it worked, they provided a Steam key and it activated/plays fine. I've still yet to confirm whether or not the first attempt succeeded though.

Sorry, I just fixed that. I use a Visa Debit card and I don't have internet banking so can't check my statements at the moment. They seem to be back online now though (GreenManGaming) so I'll contact there support and see what happens.

I've been looking for a place that sells the game for less then Steam ($89.99) but I'm not very familiar with reliable/trustworthy online shops. I had a look at Direct2Drive.com and they don't look like they'd accept an Australian Visa Debit card so I tried GreenManGaming but they went offline for &...

I've been very pissed off at NVidia's XP drivers post 260.xx series. There are Flash issues that occur... including browser freezing/OS unresponsiveness/BSODs. I know this is an XP whine, but tbh, these things shouldn't happen. Also, in the 270.xx series that I've used last... the freaking driver u...
