I love Hulu, and now they've got my favorite show: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - watch the full episodes. If you can get the beginning of the season the final episode will be a lot funnier :)

So this shows a few issues with Rockstar's "video editor" in GTA IV for PC.
You'll notice you don't see any fire after the first clip or two yet some vehicles tend to blow up for no reason. I'm a little disssapointed considering it took me over 40 minutes to encode this "web quality" video. Other options are 720p and 1080p. Last time I tried 1080p I crashed. Go fig.

Anyhow, take a look at my GTA 'fire storm' video here.

Hummina humina - Fallout 3 is fabulous. It's everything I wanted it to be. It plays similarly to Oblivion with all the awesomeness of Oblivion & Fallout combined.

The combat system is your run of the mill point and shoot... until you activate VATS which stops the action and allows you to choose which body part of which target you want to shoot, with a very RPG % likeliness of hitting each body part.

You can shoot the gun out of their hand - or blow the arm off completely - and to accompany these shots is an awesome (VERY bloody) camera shot in bullet time. Slice their head with a knife, break their leg with the bat, or shoot off their gun hand - it's great.

Here are some screenshots:

Here is a video montage (sans music?) I made of a few attempts at VATS:

Fallout3 Screenshot 01
Fallout3 Screenshot 02

I was limited to 30 sec with trial version of FRAPs but only took me like 10 takes, so here are the 3 best sequences :)

**UPDATE** I gave in and got the full version of FRAPs and it was TOTALLY worth it, check it out: Video: VATS Killshot

Coming soon - "killing in the name of" soundtrack

I've been loving 2560 x 1600 for all games lately with the latest version of nVidia drivers and now I took some video. First one is 25fps, other 2 are 60 fps but I belive Windows Movie Maker does 15fps for WMV 720p. They were originally recorded at 2560 x 1600 but the compression doesn't really do it justice.

In any case, have fun viewing:

nVidia has finally gotten around to upgrading their cards with PhysX. They bought Agea a while ago, and it's been a long time coming. Any nVidia card that is an 8 series or above is able to be upgraded, which means no separate PhysX process is required, the firmware update uses the GPU to do all the cachunking of the (previously) dedicated physics chip.

This means towers that can be taken down, realistic wall destroying, and many other items only possible with a physics engine. Just like GPUs advanced the graphics, Physics processing will advance the gameplay and realworld feeling of video games.

I submitted a photoshop to'day. It's only using paint... so I guess it's a paint-shop. In any case check out the submission. I've also got the original.

Only 3 more days to watch "Back to You" on Hulu!

I found I really liked it once I checked it out - turns out it's because it comes from the creators of Frasier and Just Shoot Me, working together. Don't get too attached to Gracie... I still say they're mad for changing (ie: "...going in a different direction.")

Oh yeah... catch up on your ALF!

They did it even better with FarCry 2, without aliens.

Some random stuff for today. I was trying to use the VISTA dictation but it's very difficult. It types when you want to select something on the screen and it selects something on the screen when you want to type. It always seems to assume the opposite of what I actually want to do.

I got Clarissa Explains It All S1D1 in the main today from Netflix and we were wondering what happened to Jason Zimbler... after finding nothing I discovered the following cameo in a recent music video: Video: The XYZ Affair - All My Friends

...look for all your favorite red-headed actors such as the guys from "Pete & Pete", "Salute Your Shorts", and "Clarissa Explains it All".

Check out the Clarissa Explains It All Drinking Game we made up.

I remember hearing someone who wanted this - you often have AVIs or other bits of movies scattered about your HD that you may want to preserve for posterity or give to your grandma for her new DVD player. That said - this allows you to create a DVD without any of those expensive "DVD Authoring" programs.

Choose the AVIs you want to have on the DVD, and blam, it creates the necessary folders to burn direct to DVD. I haven't played with it yet but wanted to include the link:
