Well, they do. Just in general. Refund finally came through and I just went and got a cheapo Live! 5.1 to tide me over.
After the last bout of TV watching I realised that I haven’t watched through about 80% of season 2 of Prison Break, so I caught up on that over the least couple of days. Good series, but I think I’m tiring quickly of plot twists. Only so many times I can see Michael and Lincoln be trapped somehow. I think its kind of how I lost interest with LOST. (No pun intended) where they never answered anything. Only reason I stuck with Prison Break is that they actually ‘win’ a lot of the time so it actually gives you something to remember when you think about what they’ve achieved.
I got some new music the other day as well, Polysics, and I finally found a KMFDM single that I had been looking for after a hugely long search: “KMFDM – A Drug Against War (Overdose Mix)”. I also found the videoclip to the track on YouTube too, and aside from the crazy Hawaiian muscle woman I like it about as much as the song:
The overdose mix version only came out with the single to Drug Against War so thats why every version I found wasn’t the right one. Only disappointment is that it sounds like in the version I first heard that it was remixed to have even heavier drums or something.
Team Fortress 2 came out the other day as well, and its pretty damn fun. Because of its overall sillyness with animations taunts and yells it doesn’t seem like the game to wear you down, and the automatic yells from other players when you heal them or you build them stuff makes it seem a lot more community minded than games like DoD:S and CS:S. The only problem I can see is that some of the maps really are awfully designed and laid out, and according to an original Team Fortress player half the game is gone or nerfed. Apparently Medics had an ‘infect’ ability that gave the enemy team a disease when they got it and could pass it on to other teammates. Oh and god I hate spies, as everyone else who isn’t one does.
Been doing a bit of modding too, to both my phone and the xbox. I just updated the xbox to the latest Xbox Media Centre and its really good, much more options and things like that. Like, I can change the colours of everything in the skin and the background image etc. The big thing I’ve been modding however is my phone. I’ve got a few tools that allow me to get into the inner workings of the phone so you can change all the settings and default images in it as well. I’ve removed basically everything to do with Telstra aside from one menu which I can’t delete otherwise the home screen can’t do icons view anymore. I’ve also altered its volume via its actual database file which tells the phone how loud it should be for each level. Got a few skins for it too (Which is a lot harder than it sounds as you can’t just copy paste the skins onto the phone, you have to install them into a hidden system folder) like Vista, iPhone, and a couple of black ones. Vista is the best though and I’ll be sticking with it.
Whats surprising is that ModMyMoto where I got the files from is the main database to get all of my files and I thought that there would be something like ModMyNokia and alike for the other brands of phones but there isn’t. See a friend recently got a Nokia 6300 (Which is only $199 from Vodaphone at the moment, to buy outright) and I can’t find anything on modding the suckers, theres no outright software like there is for mine to change everything.
Oh may as well plug CarAdvice.com.au while I’m posting, best motoring based site I’ve seen in ages simply because of the good amount of posted content and the frequent updates which are nearly always Aussie related. Plus they have the same stance on speeding and speed cameras that I do. Its safe in the right circumstances.
Been thinking about getting King Springs for the FTO as well, drop the thing by about 35mm at the front and 25mm at the rear. Something like that anyway I can’t remember exactly as I’m getting kinda tired so I’ll also end this here.
