    Total recall remake

    in Gossip Café [/offtopic]

    Posted

    I saw it a few weeks ago, I loved the scenery a little like blade runner.

    How can you not go to mars though baffles me!!!

    I thought it was piss poor compared to the original with brownschwargger.

     

    Anyone going to watch it: There isn't really any big action sequences, they replaced the concept of mars with the earth only having two hospitable regions the UK and Australia (i think it was that) and they drilled a hole through the core of earth and the travel to and from - when they hit the core it turns red (wow) and they hit zero gravity and float about.

     

    There is a ton of cool stuff in this movie, but anyone else think a woman running round been a total bad ass didn't wash? She was fighting hand to hand combat with men. It was always gonna get compared to the original and on the premise I give it 6/10. Where was benny with 5 kids to feed!!!

     

    Didn't see you at the part Richter!

    Member Since 09 Feb 2008 << daaaaamn, that's a while.

    But put me in the noob box, I am just looking for people from the old anarchy and havoc forums, no real reason just bored and missing the good old times. Are there any still lurking around?

     

    a few of us still pop in - but for whatever reason new threads dont last long and the emu lads dont talk much off topic.

    Dark souls/demon souls on PC holy fucking shit!

    Is this game meant to make me feel like a retard?

    It took me 3 hours to beat the first demon (to get to him and level up a little)

    I don't know about rewarding gameplay, the thing that pisses me off the most though, is when you do a certain section say a few times, then the next time something random will happen, like a guy who is miles away suddenly runs up behind you.

     

    There were these big dark knights, I wanted something that was behind him so I threw a fire bomb at him and got him to chase me, I legged it up a ladder and he couldn't get to me - i got this ring that lets my HP toughen up when my energy is low (which is most of the time) there is no way they can kill you in one blow with their sword. (I tried landing on his head with the drop shot three tiems i did it and it missed)

    I have no spells, and have yet to find an area where I can grind up levels a little quicker than the current area I'm in now.

     

    Got to my first dragon, he blows fire over this bridge, so I have to go under Neath him, when I get up top there is some kind of large pig with tusks in body armour that I cant beat down.

     

    Anyone got any good tips for early on in the game?

    THe only way, pretty bold statement.

    Then again you have more experience than I.

    Well that's the case I'll look into prices and the work of a private server, in the meantime, I think the blog will be decent warmup for getting used to posting and whatnot.

     

    The blog should be a good stepping stone.

    I just dont wanna see you hammer away for years and not get any reward.

    It can be an awesome site but still not get the hits it deserves.

     

    Just ask you one question?

    What makes your blog different from the rest, do you think there could be another bunch of manga/games/movie blogs out there?

    And if so why do you think yours would deserve more attention than the next 3 blogs?

    Its not a put down, its to give you food for thought, healthy food at that.

    A successful blog can be a richly rewarding ego boost. :P

    You're about to get 7 years of advice so use it buddy.

     

    I ran a google blog for two years. (since 2006 if you count all the previous editions)

    I would of preferred my own domain and private server - but i got stung by a shitty company so be careful if you go private.

    The trouble is any man and his dog can set up a site/blog now, and for every 1 peach there are 30 turds, and thats how anyone who searches is gonna have to get lucky. Very lucky.

     

    3 years back if you set up a site and shared it with people you know including communities lets say 100 people - only around 10 of them are ever gonna keep coming back, and the first few times you bore them say something that hits home, or anything you are gonna lose another handful of that list. I'd honestly say for every one hundred people you will be lucky to get 5 regulars.

     

    Sadly the web has become instant, it wants info now not later (look at all those shitty sites that make "lists") I've seen articles on cracked etc that have a million hits and i thought "that shit aint even funny."

     

    You have two choices, join the idiot wagon and make posts that commonly suck people in via searches, or be your self and know that you earned everyone of your viewers and they are your energy.

     

    In two years since I have been on blogspot the hits I have had could full Wembley stadium one and a half times:

     

    wembleyES0903_468x308.jpg

     

    Now anyone would of thought: If you have had that much exposure surly you should have an audience of some magnitude?

    This is when blogspot sucks shit: It counts image searches as hits - which I dont so when you search a google image and someone clicks up the photo, but they dont care for the post.............. I think this kind of search constitutes over half of my overall hits to the blog. I'd say under half my hits have been image returns.

     

    I get a random email now and then saying "Found your site via a image search thats some funny shit!" thanks!

    As for the labels, well unless you cram in as many as possible in my opinion they have minimal effect, who the fuck searches for "cats suck" and does not find exactly what he is looking for on my blog?

     

    Now you have two more options to bring traffic in to your site:

     

    Facebook: Your friends list - thats right if you feel like badgering your friends for a link and a share then go right ahead I can tell you right now all thats going to happen is that one of your pals will see the new post, even if he or she knows its you and your blog - then you might get a click if he/she likes the look of what you caught the eye with (this includes an image and some writing) then what happens is, these people dont actively bookmark your site, you have to constantly share to Facebook to remind them, you have a morning audience AND an evening audience to share with. So why not make a group to cut it all down? It's the exact same shit just because it's a group does not mean you have uprooted that internet user to actively remember your site and check for updates under their own free will. Do you see the difference between you fishing your audience and someone arriving of their own free will? This is important. People who remember your site and returned are the real internet users, the ones who have to be reminded are "those users" click monkies, and can only do what their main hubs tell them to do.

     

    Twitter: Again twitter is exactly the same as facebook; if you want to find the biggest morons on the face of the planet you only need use twitter.

    It has its uses in the things you are interested in, but I think its pretty limited. You must get a "retweet" you must have users, i mean why in the fuck does a stupid bitch called beth who talks about bullshit tv shows have more followers than a yorkshire pirate like my self?

    See here: http://neo-cream.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/only-thing-worse-than-facebook.html

     

    twitter is all about ego for most of its user base, these blithering idiots think their entire life exists to get more users, hardly any of them are original, and i honestly dont give a fuck what a celebrity is doing, its a gigantic ball of fuck, it pisses me off so bad i wanna take a shit in peoples mouths. Oddly though i have had requests to re open my old twitter account. but i dont get it, why do people want 24/7 of me in their face? If i followed me Id punch me.

     

    There are other sources like redit or some shit but i have never bothered with that stuff all that much.

    I found that cherry picking users and link your blog in your signature is just as good as any form of social media for exposure. for one, the communities you use will have a similar interests already improving your chances of a constant flow of readers. and two they are real people in the sense they know you, word of mouth (passing a link around) is the holy grail of exposure thats how you want to aim your work.

     

     

    The downisde to having a blog: You have to be really careful what you put, what you think might be a sentence from the top of your head, someone else will take as an insult (good fuck them) and little cock suckers start hitting the report button. I had my blog closed on one occasion as it was flagged as spam in their automated sysytem, for a week I was without my blog and I couldnt even get a back up of the fucker. Luckily a human looked at my blog and declared it fit for purpose. gee thanks! asshats!

     

    So what im saying is, a private server and domain is the only way to go, but this costs money so its your choice.

    Any PS2 Emulator running a decent compatible list?

    graphics tearing is the term but like i said i think it was because i had the res tipped out.

    Getting ICO now see how that goes later on tonight.

    Suprised Okami pushes the PS2 hardware, might be my motherboard helping im not sure what model it is but it is a tip top gaming model one.

     

    50fps in Ico btw...

    Is that pal or ntsc?

     

    I got SoTc running but like you said it dips to 30FPS now and then if i could push it to around 40FPS I reckon I could get this working what can I do to speed up the emulator? I reduced the resolution but the rest of it is stuff I dont understand, i note when i searched i saw some speed hacks and some other tweaks but they were for older version dating back as far as 2009.

    pcsx2 has pretty good compatibility (both of those play), however, i'm not sure your specs are going to cut it. It has very high requirements (especially depending on games that use the hardware exensively like SotC).

    With some tweaking you may get it playable, but results vary.

     

    I got okami running at 60FPS I had to dig around but found a bios and the mapping of the PS3 pad (motionjoy drivers) was a pain in the butt.

    But okami isnt exatcly pushing it graphic wise.

     

    Uhhh can you tell me what a low reseoution i should set it at I have it native to my HDTV 1369

    +768 but think i should bring it down a bit.

    okami occasionally looked a little ripped here and there.
