From Thread: More UArts! Thu Dec 15, 2005 8:08:52 PM
I'll be posting some UArts (meaning it isn't computer related or it'd be a site article) this weekend as well.
Thanks goes to all who are pumping out UArts. Tornado has been looking back at the older days of gaming when games were fun . Nacho chimes in with a G15 review.
It usually gives you the option to choose the folder to save the attachment to when you open the e-mail. If you are talking about changing what the default folder is that it displays when it gives you that option, unfortunately you can't change that.
I played the demo of Indigo Prophecy awhile back, where you're stuck in a bathroom, end up killing, then escape before you're discovered. Nice graphics, but I found the controls similar to Resident Evil's or Silent Hill's, kinda stiff and clumsy to get around, which automatically increases the tension, trying to get the character to go where you want him to.
It got good reviews in the magazines at any rate. To me though, Indigo is the kinda game I play through once, and rarely again, like RE or SH, but unlike GTA.
The computer is working awesome. Btw, this was built for a client, not myself. (I wish!)
The machine is working very well. The card outputs HD-TV quality video over DVI-D to HDMI cable to a 52" plasma screen and the audio is tied in via optical cable to a Marantz receiver. Full 7.1 dolby digital.
I'll take some pics of the setup and post them here later.
Currently it's using Media Center for the front end. I'm currently looking at BeyondTV to use as a front end but I've found a few bugs with it that I'm trying to get resolved.
I have been addicted to Only, i cant believe i like it so much. But is it worth it or should i only download the one song for IPOD
ONLY is a great song, along with Getting Smaller, Every Day is the Same, The Hand that Feeds, Right Where it Belongs and a few more. Best just to download one song to start off. (Download what you like, since some songs on the album aren't the best).
NIN has an incredible live tour concert, which is over by the way.

A classics collection, Taito Legends for the PS2 includes arcade classics like Jungle Hunt, The New Zealand Story, Space Gun, Space Invaders 1 and 2, Bubble Bobble, Operation Wolf 1 and 2, Elevator Action, Phoenix, Continental Circus, Volfied, Plump Pop, Rainbow Islands, Super Quix, Exzisus, and best of all, Rastan, Thunderfox and my favorite, Gladiator, which is a sword battle game with armor and a controllable shield to deflect all attacks; awesome. Plus Zoo Keeper, and weaker games like Colony 7, Yo-Yo, Ninja Kids, Tokio, Tube it, Swordsman (bad), Plotting.
The disc does have a blue bottom; why Sega printed them on blue discs for the PS2, I don't know, but my old PS2 has a hell of a time reading the disc, and every now and then it plays when I put the PS2 on its side.
If you like the old arcade games, it doesn't get much better than this collection. Also check out Capcom Classics for Commando and all the Ghouls 'n Ghosts games.
Taito Legends: 8/10. Feature: Every game is authentic, with an INSERT COIN button. Pretty cool.
This game ended too quickly, despite a great story with top notch acting and nice graphics. Also, the game "world" didn't have a day/night cycle and worst of all, it was only a fraction the size of GTA:SA or even Shadow of the Colossus. The atmosphere suffered thanks to the lack of townspeople, but the theme was well played out in the graphics and action. Good controls, nice camera to adjust as you like, and the horses were easy to manuever.
Overall, it's a good game, but needs a much larger world, with more open terrain and less paths that force you where to go.
7/10. Recommended to "The Old West" fans who don't mind a short play time.
I submitted the older computer article to Slashdot. This is just a warning, the site may be slow if the article is accepted. I'll keep up with it during the day.

I'm working ridiculous hours at my new job, and when I'm not doing that I'm trying to keep up with the rest of life's necessities. No time for games or ASE for me!
it may be possible that you touched the CPU with your hands before grounding yourself and fried the crap out of it or as Chris Reid said look at the way you placed the wires on the front of the motherboard look at the manual for more information these things could get tricky
I'll be moving the content from ASE Games back to the main site and pushing all the goodies that the gaming site offered (audio reviews, nicer thumbnails, short summaries) into the main site's code. I'll be attempting the melding this weekend. As it so happens, the domain name must be renewed anyway. It will be renewed, but I need a temporary domain name for something anyway. Hey, maybe I'll try my hand at some stupid little web games...
