Friday v GTA TREVOR METH MADNESS

Fucking boiling in Manchester!! My car said 24 degrees and the suns blazing! Not quite ready for summer to go just yet, was thinking about having a quiet one after ibiza but got me back in the mood. Grabbed a crate and a house warming for me I think, now the cunts actually have a garden. :D

Oh and ive still not had time to buy GTA madness. Trying to save money and stay off the coke but when your dealer has no mates and always trys to cling along its hard, feel sorry for him.
 
Fucking boiling? I'd say "mildly pleasant" earlier, and now verging on "nice but needs a cardigan"... Do you live in a different Manchester?
 
Ahh yeah, it was gorgeous at lunchtime. I had an hour chilling in the sunshine by a pond, was nice.

Road Rash was the shit! Played that with my cousin for days on end. Funny you should all be talking about retro gaming because I just bought an Ouya for the bedroom telly (because the SD card slot on the Raspberry Pi connected to it just died and I thought I'd get a slightly more powerful media streaming device this time). But now I'm looking into the potential of using it as an emulation machine too, so am copying a bunch of old console ROM compilations I have over to a USB stick to give it a try :) So it looks like my evening may feature some Road Rash time too :)

Have you seen what Valve are planning with Steam? They're building a gaming/media platform on top of Linux, SteamOS, which will be free and moddable, and there will be a range of hardware units, Steam Machines, to plug into your TV (a standard PC will work too presuming it meets the spec). It'll provide access to Steam games, of course, but also network TV services like Netflix etc. And since it's Linux you'll be able to access whatever pr0n media you already have, and whatever software you fancy running in your living room.

There are apparently 198 steam games for Linux already (although I could only find 100, not sure what I'm missing) and they're providing tooling to assist game developers to target Linux.

Obviously they've got their work cut out for them competing against Sony and Microsoft (and the other consoles) but it's a very interesting move.

If you've got Steam then the Big Picture mode gives a taste of what they've got planned for SteamOS and I have to say it looks very slick. Web browsing is built in too, and it works much much better than the shite PS3 web browser (no surprise, it's based on Chromium).

Definitely an interesting project because it'll get more people with PCs connected to their TVs (which is something I've done for years anyway but is quite uncommon in general I reckon), and hopefully see the benefits of having one there, particularly now full HD LCD TVs are more prevalent.

Don't think it'll ever really compete with Sony or MS unless they have one fixed-spec, locked down piece of hardware, which kinda goes against the grain of PC gaming on the whole, where it's all about custom setups and upgrades. l think most devs will be reluctant to port games to Linux too since most have stopped releasing even Windows versions full stop, thanks to the pirates (Not the meph kind).

Still, if it looks shiny, I can tinker about with it, and it runs xbmc I'll inevitably end up buying one, the sucker for shiny tech that I am!

I think the only game I have installed through Steam on this Linux laptop is World of Goo, but there were about 25 I could install from my list of 200 or so Steam games, so there are few out there already though.
 
Maybe most devs will be reluctant but there are a whole load who are porting to Linux right now. Piracy can be offset a bit with network features that require a valid key of some sort, and of course just keeping the prices sensible. I'm happy to pay for games on linux, always have been, if they don't take the piss with price. It's a different scenario to "functional" software, games require constant creative effort while once a functional problem is solved it's done, no way am I paying for a word processor year after year after year just because they've changed where the fucking buttons sit. Doesn't make any sense at all, even if you accept the proprietary software model. Games are a different kettle of fish.

I never liked the closed nature of games consoles, having a PS3 was always a dirty compromise for me, and now I've had one pack in on me it just highlights why it's a shit compromise, because Sony have got you by the balls on the hardware. I'm running Steam games on a desktop PC I've cobbled together for about £120 and if something fails I can just swap in a replacement. Eco-friendly too :D

Just downloading the Half Life 2 Orange Box, never played the games before, just had a go at the demo, is pretty good fun! No it's not as slick as GTA5 but it's a hell of a lot cheaper all things considered and will pass the hours just as well.

edit: Heh, this HL2 is some good shit! fun game. Runs exceedingly smoothly on this fairly low-spec box too.

Might go to the cinema to see Filth the mora

I saw someone post a clip on another forum and didn't realize it was new. Was thinking "when the fuck did they make Filth into a film?".

Don't rate the book that much. Find it's difficult to get into. There's a follow up to the book written years later than I cannot for the life of me remember the name of which at first I also found really difficult to get into but turned out to be good.

Same character but in the USA hunting down a paedo from what I can remember, what was it called?

Also wasn't porno getting turned into a film?

I spent a quid tonight in the pub and I'm drunk (half bottle of rum), where else in the world can that happen? <3

Should be staying off the booze. Been on a 2 day session, loads of money squandered, stupid things happened, hangover from hell, little memories. :\
