BioShock II

B A BA BA BAI OH SHOCK

It’s here.

It’s shiny.

It’s all wrapped in cellophane.

Well, it was. The cellophane is now randomly discarded, and sorta stuck in my teeth. And the DVD is in the drive. I swear, the installation bar goes SLOWER if you stare at it. It knows you’re watching, and gets all nervous. Like when you can’t do work when a teachers peering over your shoulder.

It’s BioShock II time. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Windows Play To ROCKS

My laptop screen is a bit dodgy lately – so I hooked it up to my TV screen via S-Video and phono, and I’ve been controlling it with VNC; it works pretty well! I figured Win7 Play-To would be pretty interesting to play with, but I thought it’d be pretty difficult to set up – I was totally wrong. It’s easy… enable it on both computers, choose who can control what, job done. So now I just drag-drop stuff onto my “Play To” playlist and it shows up on the big screen!

Furthermore – we’re supposedly getting a new TV soon, so if we get a cheapo nettop with decent graphics, I can hook it up with Win7, and the family can use media center on it. Then, when they want a movie or something? *Play To*!

 

Awesome.

Party Tomorrow

And it’s going to be epic. Wasted Weekend are playing before I hook up my laptop and fire up this playlist:

Looking really sexy!

So I’m going to use this for a couple of days and see whether I like it or not. I’d like some FB chat integration, and for them to fix the About dialog box – beautiful dark UI with a cool, custom scroll-bar.. and then you get slapped with this:

Bullet points that are from MS Word? A standard scroll-bar? Ewwwwwwww!

Download and Install Silverlight 4 if you don’t have it, then restart your browser and install the Facebook for Windows app. For Windows and Mac OSX/Intel.
