    I think that might be the game's fault.

    I like NV way better than ATI, though. Because I do a lot of OpenGL programming, and ATI sucks for that.

    I have a PS3 but all I do is watch movies on it. I haven't really gotten into any of the games, yet.

    good thing it's a blu-ray player too

    yes I am talking about bioshock.. for the PC.

    and now my computer goes into a loop of BSODs. Thank you Nvidia "nTune"... made the mistake of installing that again, when I knew it fucked up my system HARD last time... then I had to totally re-install Windows to get it to work again... Thank god this time I just had to reboot in safe mode and do a sysytem restore roll back.

    woo I forgot how much FUN PC gaming is!

    blaurgh Bioshock is still BSODing. i guess it could be heat related, the last time I checked the GPU temp it was 75. but I've never had any problems before. until I updated my nvidia drivers. dammit, why did I even do that?? might have to rollll it back.. fuck.

    That's a chick. Do you ever pay attention to anything? I mean, why bother watching the trailer if you're not even looking?

    I watched the shaky cam video that was released before the direct feed one. it had a small resolution and terrible picture quality. I did not see any boobs anywhere

    I still hate buying large single player games on steam. its not like Im saving any money. its like they save a bunch of money and pass the savings onto not me. lame

    It was announced that the 4 bosses shown in that trailer are all supposed to be women.

    I totally have one of these, Network ID or whatever it's called is TxdoHawk. Hopefully Eye of Judgment gets a worldwide simultaneous release in October as planned, because right now my PS3 is helping me finish MGS3, and that's about it.

    From what I have seen and played of Folklore so far I am very impressed with this game. From a technical stand point the graphics are unimpressive, but they have an amazing art team working on the game.

    Right now, my only beef with the game is mainly GUI related.

    PlayStation have just issued the following announcement

    “We have just received information that the next PS Store update, which will contain Warhawk, will be Thursday 30th August and not Tuesday 28th August as previously announced. As you know Thursday is the usual day for our PS Store refresh. We are sorry for any inconvenience that the extra 48 hours wait may cause.”

    I'm considering getting Warhawk, since the trailer looks pretty great, and the version with the headset is only £33, which isn't bad. On the other hand, my history of buying multiplayer focused games then forgetting them after about 2 weeks is pretty extensive.

    I am another one who emptied half a bank account to get a PS3, but it is oh so worth it. Warhawk + Folklore + MGS4 + Blu-ray = win.

    I'm RenegadeGuardian on PSN. Guardian452 was taken :(

    And about the Warhawk thing... if the NA store isn't getting it till the 30th, can I get it from the UK store? I really don't want the headset...

    Oh man the Folklore demo is so much fun. I'v only played with Keats so far. I'v got to say the moving the controller around aspect is actually quite fun. If there was only dualshock so you could feel yourself smashing the soul on the ground...

    Folklore has some really great art, and the feeling of Irish lore is just awesome. The motion controls feel kinda needless and tacked-on, but then again it does free up a button, it doesn't need to be activated terribly quickly, and it is really easy to activate. It's the kind of thing that would be better on a button, but at the same time, it might be a waste to have a special button just for that.

    So, PS3...

    ...has anyone played around with slow-mo/fast-forward (1.5) buttons when watching videos?

    Makes trailers sound hilarious.

    Really liking the console's media capablities otherwise too, beats 360 easily on that area at least.

    Oh, that's...cool...I guess kinda seems useless unless you want to slow-mo an action film that isn't already slow-mo'd for you. Or I guess something off of just any video you might have downloaded. So does it make the sound go lower/higher as well, or does it maintain pitch?

    1.5x forward keeps the audio (speeds it up).

    guys i have a ps3

    i'm just bsjezz there too

    there seems to be a problem with my friends list though - i requested #pipe and orikae be added ages ago and it still says pending, even though hashpipe briefly seemed added as it showed his (eightball) avatar and said he was playing the heavenly sword demo. oh well.

    maybe this will be fixed when i get a good net connection in the next week or two. i crumpled my current connection downloading the folklore demo. it's tops

    (also has anyone got calling all cars? really disappointed. i mean, four levels, but four shit levels? one of them doesn't even have a jail! and only three weapons? the design just seems a bit thoughtless. i mean, if you hit the boost going up a ramp, you'll actually go too fast and hit the wall above the jail and drop the the floor, instead of scoring in an epic leap. what game punishes you for boosting up ramps? it's a natural racing game manoeuvre, satisfying in a way that only phat air can be. i don't know if i want any part in a game that punishes it.)

    That shit happens to me all the time (the friends list thing). I guess it's a bug.

    I have Calling All Cars, I thought the same thing, but then it was only $8 or whatever.
    Try some online, it's kinda fun... for a few minutes anyway.

    I also have Super Stardust (great, haven't tried it with 2 players though) and Flow (good, and fun with 2 players). Beside that I've bought a few PS1 games from the store and that's about it.

    VF5 is supposed to be great if you like those kung-fu button mashers,... I'm not a big fan.

    I thought the Folklore demo was pretty boring, I shut it off after a couple minutes. It was all "here's some guys I hit with my sword then collect their soul.... and now here's some more guys I hit with my sword and collect their soul... and then I found some more guys that I.... yep, hit with my sword and collect their soul.. Does it get any better?

    Yah eventually you find some characters that you have to "wrestle" their soul to capture it. This involves moving the controller side to side to slam the soul to the ground. I still have yet to play the girl's level.
