I pity anyone who decides to learn video encoding on a whim, as I did just that and lost 6 hours of my life into something that need not be so complicated.
But the end result should be worth it, as power director v7 produced a 700MB+ file from the same stuff that I've referenced in an avisynth script which i put through MeGUI and that's currently ( Read more... )

I've not posted to this blog in over 6 months, but that's because I couldn't be bothered. But I'm back using it with a rant about a game not many folks will have played: Trauma Centre: New Blood.

Trauma Centre is a series by Atlas, it revolved around the player taking the role of a surgeon and healing patients.
I played the first game on the DS when ( Read more... )

I'm trying to get a bit more competitive this generation with pokemon, as last gen i got kicked about a fair bit due to only having 6 pokemon i used.

This time I'm going for a box of them. What's more is that i found that a lot of my party had hindering natures (my infamous Milotic actually had a speed hindering nature), so this gen I'll have a ( Read more... )

I've always been a fan of Pokemon, although i do have to say they could have designed this generation's better.

I got my copy of Pokemon White a day before release as my internet-ordered copy arrived a bit early, but no complaints from me. Even though I got it early there are still people I know that have already beaten the elite four; my excuse for ( Read more... )

Although it may not win brownie points with many people, the first MMO I ever played and still do to a degree, is RuneScape ( Read more... )

I really have been neglecting this blog as of late. The reason is a combination of watching a lot of Japanese stuff, focusing on other things and just plain forgetting to write in this ( Read more... )

I'm looking forward to a few games coming out soon:

• Pokemon White
• Fallout: New Vegas
• Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (OK, i know that's already out, but i can't get it yet as i can't afford a PSP)

But there is one more that i'm looking forward to the most, and that's the only one that contains a Psychopathic Artificial Intelligence

( And just who is this Psychopathic Artificial Intelligence? )

Since October of 2008 I’ve been using a Medion Akoya mini netbook for any of my mobile computing tasks. When I say "mobile computing tasks" I use the term loosely, as I really mean any task ranging between the relatively low-demand word processing and web browsing, to the more CPU intensive Photo editing or running of a program that finds a number ( Read more... )

 I mentioned before that i was having a bit of trouble with The Sims 3. Well It's all sorted now, and the fault that started this whole escapade has been sorted, as the graphics problem i had with the flowers, trees and some other fauna has now been sorted and they now display correctly ( Read more... )

I have dealt with a lot of stubborn software over the years, but none has caused me as much trouble as The Sims 3.

I bought The Sims with the intention that it would be my last gave for a while as I'm not going to be getting much money for the foreseeable future. When i got the core game it worked, to an art.

Initially it worked fine, for the  ( Read more... )
