Journal Entry: Thu May 19, 2005, 9:46 AM
i'm posting this weeks links tonight because i probably wont have time tommorow. technicaly it's friday anyway... but meh. i've said it before, but doing this thing every friday is really showing me how quickly the week goes past :nod:

along with the usual links from out in the internet i've also got links to a bunch of deviants you might not have come across before - this isn't a list of super uber popular artists, just some i found while browsing recent deviations...



a bunch of deviants
after installing =doofsmack's GallerySkip script i whent on a trip through the recent deviations. if something caught my eye i'd check it out, and if the other four deviations in the GallerySkip box caught my other eye - then i'd stumble around blindly ... lolz. no - i'd add the deviant to my bookmarks. i'll go back eventualy and probably start watching them, many of them have low pageviews and seem to be pretty new deviants, so check them out if you have time. i've provided a link to their latest deviations (future proof thanks to /latest/), initialy i was hoping that the OBT thumbnail tooltip thinger would show it, but it doesn't. something to suggest they add i guess. anyhoo, those using doof's script should still find it handy.

X360 , PS3 or Revolution for you ?
`thespook:iconthespook: May 19, 2005, 10:01:23 PM
i'm sitting on the fence for now in terms of which one i'm going to get (might get two or something)... but i must say that the Revolution sounds very interesting. being able to play their back catalogue is pretty sweet, there's also rumours abound that it will be homebrew friendly wich is cool. undoubtedly the PS3 and X360 are going to get the thirdparty support that nintendo has been losing recently, so we'll have to wait and see which one the developers go for. i've read in a few places that the original xbox would be a developers choice console if it weren't for the fact that the PS2 is in more homes... so the first couple of months will be very interesting.

meh. either way, they're all going to have great games, just as all the current generation's consoles do :)
oh. to answer your question though, probably PS3... if they redesigned the concept controller.
~intoxik8:iconintoxik8: May 19, 2005, 10:33:19 PM
lol, that controller is awful ! have to say the x360 one doesn't look so hot either.

I'll definitely be waiting until i can actually see the PS3 first hand before I make a decision on that, I'm so used to seeing the sony overhype now ! The Nintendo however I will buy regardless because I know there'll be an abundance of my kind of games (not to mention the huge back catalogue) and now they're taking the online play seriously it'll be very interesting to see where it goes, I'm still very curious about the controllers for it. I think the X360 will depend on the price for me, if it's released at the right price then it could get a massive headstart on the PS3.

So yeah I'll more than likely own 2 and given that it's likely that the PS3 at launch could be something near twice the price of the x360, it'll probably be a revolution and an x360 for me.

I don't really see the point in the gba micro either, from what I'd heard previously about the gba 2 it was expected to be a much more poweful machine to rival the psp so that was quite disappointing. Just means I'll be trading my SP in for a DS as soon as I get home :)
`thespook:iconthespook: May 19, 2005, 10:38:18 PM
sounds like a plan :)

oh, and - get home?
~intoxik8:iconintoxik8: May 19, 2005, 10:56:31 PM
Yeah, back to the UK next week :(
