Media files sometimes don't load in 7

Herpes — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 08:21:21 +0800

Hi, I'm having this problem of video files sometimes not loading in WMP, I have all the latest codecs installed and such. The peculiar thing about this freeze is whenever the video hangs/refuses to play, no other media player would load any video files at all, and the equalizer display on my winamp will refuse to run, causing winamp to hang also. I'm on 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate retail.

Hope anyone has a solution, thanks in advance.

WoW Pod

Herpes — Mon, 11 May 2009 22:39:47 +0800

QUOTE

It's every game addict's dream and mum and dad's worst nightmare - a self-contained World of Warcraft pod that includes a computer, toilet and kitchen for the 24/7 gamer.

Created by boffins at Massachusetts University of Technology (MIT), the contraption is described as "an immersive architectural solution for the advanced WoW (World of Warcraft) player that provides and anticipates all life needs".

World of Warcraft - or WoW as it is affectionately known by its millions of fans - is notoriously addictive.

The role playing game's long quests encourage players to slog it out for hours at a time, and when playing in groups, one player leaving for a toilet break can throw off the rhythm for everyone.

Enter the WoW pod, which is entirely self-contained and is designed to resemble a hut featured in the game. Inside, the throne doubles as a toilet, while next to the computer sits a cooking pot and automated stove top.

Within reach is water and pre-packaged food with names such as "Crunchy Spider Surprise" and "Beer Basted Ribs". All the player has to do is select a food item and a seasoning pack.

"By scanning in the food items, the video game physically adjusts a hot plate to cook the item for the correct amount of time," wrote one of the creators, MIT researcher Cati Vaucelle.

"The virtual character then jubilantly announces the status of the meal to both the gamer and the other individuals playing online: 'Vorcon's meal is about to be done!"'

The story of getting stalked

Herpes — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:37:24 +0800

Hmm, or should I say griefed?

So, I was happily grinding my main DK in Cenarion. I saw an ally killing a horde. I went over CoI the horde and went about doing my business.

Then, the horde came, and took revenge with his main: Foehammerer. Fair enough, I just stood there and let him kill me. He then proceeded to corpse camp. Fine by me, I let him kill a few times to allow him to let off steam. But noooo, he proceeded to corpse camp for 15 minutes.

I called my friends to kill him, while I went back to Shattrah. So, he decided to PM me on his Alliance account "It doesn't matter how many people you bring, I'm still gonna stalk you." Yea, real awesome guy. Has an alliance account just to /who all his enemies.

TL;DR version: Stalker that takes the game wayyyy too seriously and decides to start stalking cause I "assisted" in killing his alt.

PS: He's been stalking/camping me for nearing 4 hours already.

Update: He congratulated me on leveling with another created ally alt (goddamnit how rich is that guy), threatened me again with: "that was a hard earned level, just think how long the next 15 will be, sitting duck in northrend without a flying mount."

Update2: With another alt, "I'm off to bed, best make good use of this time, for tomorrow we start again."

ZOMG.

Walk The Line (2005)

Caught this film about Johnny Cash on TV the other day. Anyone watched it before?

I personally thought it was an awesome film. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon did the singing themselves, and I gotta say they were quite amazing!

Hi, I'm going up to KL in a few days on a road trip with my friends.

I'm wondering if there are any places we could go to, e.g Shopping, nice places to eat, POI etc...

I'll be staying at Ancasa Hotel (Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock).

Thanks.
