Final Fantasy XIII Limited Edition info

Image
This is the third post I've made about FF XIII and I'm not even a fan or don't want the game lol... I'll admit, the game has never appealed to me, but I know there are a whole load of people that are fans. The game isn't out in the US until March 9th and UK on 12th, but for those of you that want to see more, read on...

I posted about someone getting the limited edition FFXIII PlayStation 3 not long ago and now I just discovered a post from a guy that has got the Final Fantasy XIII Soundtrack that features some really nice artwork. Final Fantasy XIII Limited Edition OST « Games rocks! .

Unpacking and setting up R4 SDHC

After not being able to use my R4DS for some time due to kids taking over possession, I thought it would be best to invest in an R4 SDHC so that I can use my 4GB Micro SD card with my backed up stuff on which includes a bunch of apps, pics and other bits and bobs. [gallery link="file" columns="4"] The box is about half the size of the old R4 one and the adapter is different to the one I had before, still got a protective case which I've never used or seen the need to use since the cart is in the DS most of the time anyway and as a bonus, I added a pic of my Micro SD card which is the one I'll be using. Now here's a vid of how to set it up... Sorry, I can't provide any technical advice or give anymore detail that's already provided, I try to cover as much as possible by taking things step by step, if it doesn't work for you, I have no explanation... The video shows that what I do works (except the DSKiosk ROM launching which I admit ...

Psychonauts just £1/$2 on Steam!!

Image
There are just 2 more days for you to buy Psychonauts from Steam at this great price. I already have the PS2 version, but even I purchased it at this price lol. Rather than go into details about it here, why not just go to the Steam page and see the info first hand?!! You have until the end of Thursday to buy it.

New MG L4D2 server and Persona

Although I replied about 2 weeks after being contacted, Olly of INX-Gaming has generously offered a game server for Mental Gamers and so a new Left 4 Dead 2 server is born. All modes should be available as up to 8 people can join with the possibility of clan matches being played on there too. It should show up in Steam or on HLSW , but if you want to add it without all that fuss of trying to find it, add 85.234.148.4:29025 to your server list. Something else that's new for any Firefox users out there is a Persona based on the design of Mental Gamers, nothing too spectacular, but if you want something a bit different to look at instead of the standard theme, take a look and try it out for a while.

More overpackaging fail

Image
I've been on a bit of a spend lately with recent purchases including a Creative ZEN X-Fi2 8GB ( X-Fi2 US version ) of which I'm happy about, but would be a bit happier if the radio was stronger. Anyway, that's not what the post is about, it's to do with one of my little rants I have now and then about how stuff has too much packaging, last time it was amazon that overpacked the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 as posted here , now it's Play.com 's turn.

FF XIII Lightning Edition PS3

Image
As I was doing my usual browse through the tag surfer here on Wordpress, I saw this post and I have to say, it's a rather wikid PS3 ... So I got the FF XIII Lightning Edition PS3 « deculture .

Mega HSM3 DS bargain!

Image
Had a look on the GAME website last night (would've posted this last night too, but WP.com wasn't loading properly for me) and saw this great deal for High School Musical 3: Senior Year on the Nintendo DS ... The price has now gone up to £6.99 for some reason, but the RRP and save info is still the same ratio.

Additions Phone Fail

Image
Another fail in my little series that I post about now and then, this is something I saw in an email from the other day... Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but there's something not quite right with the third product...

Katy Perry's shaven pussy

Image
It's amazing just how many hits I'll get just because of the title of this post. I get quite a few hits from people searching for ' katy perry ' and ' katy perry boobs ' of which the latter is just to a post here on my blog about an apparent 'wardrobe malfunction' as claimed by the Daily Mail when her dress ruffled down somehow to cause her boobs to almost pop out. What can I say..? It's after 4am and I'm bored, I was looking through my Twitter feed, saw she had posted the picture of her 'shaved pussy' on Twitpic and so the innuendo was just too good that it would be a crime not to post this and watch the hits roll in. Enjoy! ;)

Beware of fake Facebook email

Image
As I was checking my email, there were a couple in the junk folder and one was supposedly from Facebook claiming that there is a 'New login system', people must be really stupid to fall for such a phishing scam. You can click the image to see a bigger version or just read on for the quote... Dear Facebook user, In an effort to make your online experience safer and more enjoyable, Facebook will be implementing a new login system that will affect all Facebook users. These changes will offer new features and increased account security. Before you are able to use the new login system, you will be required to update your account. Click here to update your account online now. If you have any questions, reference our New User Guide. Thanks, The Facebook Team The email is apparently from: Facebook (update+flxahwa@facebookmail.com) which I suspect is also fake and the link you're expected to click goes to http://www.facebook.com.vsdflpttt.com/usersdirectory/LoginFacebook....

Unbreakable phone, broken

Image
You may have already seen this as it's already creeping around the net, but BBC Click are at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas where, Sonim have what they claim to be a "basically unbreakable" mobile phone ... that was until BBC Click presenter Dan Simmons got his hands on it... Credit goes to Engadget which is where I heard about it first and you can see the original thing on the BBC site . And of course, Ninjew1 for uploading it to YouTube.

zOMG! I r playin

Image
It's Sunday, I wanted something to do, so I thought I'd check out which free games are available to play online. One of those is on Gaia Online called zOMG!, I've heard of it before around the net, but I don't really know of anyone that plays it, so decided to try it for myself. I like it, it passes the time away with all the walking around doing quests and there's plenty to do on the website when you're not playing the game. As long as you don't venture too much when starting out, you should be fine and be able to level up pretty easily while collecting gold along the way which can be used to buy stuff like clothes which can make you look less of a n00b in-game. Here's a video of me doing an early quest which just involves locating Gnome camps and reporting back to Commander Leon for further instructions and rewards for completing tasks. I've already had a few requests to join crews, but I'm only just starting out and don't really plan ...

Darksiders, first impressions

Image
Wow. The cinematic intro was rather impressive, but then I got to play the game! A picture taken with my mobile phone doesn't really do Darksiders justice when the TV screen is displaying it in 1080p, but it's pretty much the only way of showing images of the game that aren't already pre-released screenshots on every other site. Anyway, even from the first section that I've played so far, you just know it's gonna be epic when the end boss takes up almost the whole screen and you have to throw cars at him to drain energy.

Hello Kitty R4DS themes

Image
I mainly made these for my youngest daughter who had a new red DS for Xmas, they're not that spectacular, but are ok if you're a bit of a Hello Kitty fan. This one features Hello Kitty holding a DS and was a promo image for the game, Hello Kitty: Big City Dreams . The red theme is just made from an image found on a Google/Bing search. Kitty is a little similar to in the 'white' theme, but the top seems teal instead of blue. Not too sure which category these would fall under, so they're going on the Game Character page.

It's snow time

Image
As is the case in other parts of the world at the moment, most of the UK is covered in snow again which has already brought some deaths and major injuries due to icy roads and such. Schools are closed again and people aren't able to go to work, the sky is rather blue at the moment, so no sign of more snow just yet...

'Oversized' babes in V magazine shoot

Image
It's about time models of a bigger size got more recognition, I find women with a bit more meat on them more attractive than the usual sticks you see walking up and down catwalks. V Magazine is to feature a shoot by Sølve Sundsbø that contains some beautiful models that are considered 'over' or 'plus' sized, with women becoming bigger as time goes on, the 'perfect 10' no longer applies and anyway, it seems curves are becoming more popular and 2010 could see an uprising of 'plus-size' women... well, we can only hope! Photos from the shoot are after the jump... This is my favourite picture from the shoot known as 'Curves Ahead', such natural beauty of a real woman. Credit goes to: Models.com where you can find the source of the pictures. View the full post on my main blog .

Finally received Darksiders

Image
I can't remember if this was due to be sent out before Xmas, but got it this morning anyway, so will be having a go soon... Need to get back into the habit of reviewing since its been a while ...

Viva Pinata in Odipean Complex shocker!

Image
I've never noticed this before when playing, but my daughter had levelled up to gain a spade upgrade (had to start gardens again due to not being able to transfer saves from old X360 HDD) and also a journal entry from Jardiniero which is the old garden master and apparently married his mother...? Why would he call his wife 'Mother'? It's not like he's talking to his kids and it would be weird to refer her as such to your diary/journal, incest in what is essentially a kids game!? Oh my...
