The DVD burner I just purchased is awesome. I've already burnt several DVDs and all of them worked flawlessly. Currently, since it runs through the usb 2.0 port, it maxes out at 6x. It doesn't matter since I burn at 4x anyway. Half of me didn't want to buy this since it does sound like a waste of money, but read this, the day the burner came, my laptop burner died. Quite a coincidence eh? Some things I didn't know is that the Fujifilm discs are actually RitekG03s. Pretty sweet since G05s don't play very well on the PS2. I tested the Taiyo Yuden's I bought and they play perfectly. No skips or jumps whatsoever. I've already re-burned Dirge of Cerberus and Fahrenheit. I tried to burn Jak X again so that I can finish the game, but it seems like the disc is messed up. I think most of the problems lies within the Ritek disc. If you burn movies with this type, they are perfect, but for gaming, its clearly not.
Another cool thing about today is that I know I can fix stuff, it seems cool in my ordinary day. I was lazy to remove stuff off my bed while I was under the covers even though my conscience was telling me that I should put the stuff on the chair. Because of my laziness, I knocked the CD player off the bed and unto the ground shattering a couple pieces off. Most notably was the cover lock. Without that, the player would be useless. And because of my instinct, I fixed the thing. It took a while since I couldn't get the HOLD button to stay still, but it is now working like nothing ever happened.
I also beat Ape Escape 3. If I had time, I would go back and capture all 400, but since I have the awesome Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams to beat, I had to just leave it at that. Ape Escape 3 is a prime example of a game where it doesn't lose it's roots in that games don't need to be difficult in order the player to have a sense of achievement when they beat the game. It requires replay value which this game has loads of. I can't wait for Fight Night Round 3 and Black to come out. They are some of the best games to be released this year. I just love the Fight Night series because of the damage you can do to your opponent. My strategy is to attack their face as much as I can, then to the body to weaken them, then to the face again. By then, their face will be cut and victory will be mine. And Black, well, that game will just rock, period.
Election. This movie is quite good. It's about an election to become the chairman of a triad gang. Power struggles, bribery, loyalty, tradition.....a movie about what a person can do with a)money or b)power. The movie also rides on how a person never forgets what one person says or does. Whatever you do will impact something later in life. And in this case, it brought one of the members to his demise. Great movie.
It came to my attention that most of my posts are quite depressing. From now on, there will be no such posts. So be happy.
