Finally decided to jailbreak my 2 year old iTouch. I browsed the Cydia app store and have no clue what half this shit does.

 

[Sabre]

Cydia isn't the real puppy it's the ability to add a file browser and download unsigned iTunes apps for free via forums and whatnot.

 

[vivisectvi]

Install "Installous" via Cydia and you can also download apps for free.

I have to say, im loving the gameboy emulator.

 

[Smues]

Some of the available emulators let you use a wiimote to control them. I love that.

Out today

Lone Survivor - Launch Trailer

 

[vivisectvi]

^^^^^ download this game! Some have said it's more Silent Hill than most of the recent Silent Hill games have been and I have to agree! Creepy as hell and full of "16-bit" goodness. Definitely worth the $10!

Google Maps 8-bit for NES

 

[Master Thrasher]

Here's the link to the eight bit maps: http://maps.google.com/?t=8&utm_campaign=8bit&utm_source=yt
There's no Dragon Warrior music though.

 

[Just Burny]

The street view for that is pretty awesome too

 

[Smues]

Dragon Warrior Google Maps is pretty awesome, though I wish they'd thrown in some dialog too. "Would you like directions?" "No" "BUT THOU MUST"

There's a red slime east of San Francisco. You have to be zoomed in at least half way, though.

Also, search for location 00.000000,000.000000 and then zoom in 1 tick before all the way in, and then zoom all the way in.

That's no way to talk about Oakland.

Harmonix is putting out Rock Band Blitz this summer on XBA/PSN. It's basically a game in the same vein as Rock Band Unplugged on PSP, but the neat thing is the 25 new tracks in the game will be available to use in Rock Band 3 and all of your RB DLC will work in the game with all future DLC being compatible as well. For $15-20 that's a hell of a deal since I have like 300 Rock Band songs.

 

[bps21]

That's a smart idea. I have so many songs that I'll buy this just to keep using them.

I bought the Devil May Cry HD Collection today. This will be my first experience with the franchise.

 

[Sabre]

Im gonna get that when it comes down in price, number 2 is one of the shit hardest games i played... or is it #3... either way one of them is stupid hard.

#2 was just shit. #3 was almost "Demon Souls Hard". The Greatest Hits Edition with all the extra content was far more accessible. Speaking of which, is it the GH version or Standard 3 that's on the HD collection?

 

[vivisectvi]

I think it is the GH version as the box mentions extra content.

 

[vivisectvi]

Anyone download I Am Alive? Impressed with this one do far..

I decided to install CyanogenMod 9 on my HP Touchpad today. It's not a perfect port of Ice Cream Sandwich, but for a project still in Alpha, it's pretty close. If you have a Touchpad, but aren't in love with WebOS, or you just want more than 5 apps at your disposal, I highly recommend trying CM9.

Related: It's a damn shame more devices don't have ICS. It's a really nice step up from Gingerbread. It's really absurd that ICS was released 7 months ago, and still only 6% of Android devices have it.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Yeah, I did that last week. I had CM7 on it, and finally decided to bump it up to CM9. CM9 seems to run faster than CM7. The camera doesn't work yet, though, not that I was taking many pictures with the Touchpad to begin with.

Gamestops in California now have to put labels on the used games letting people know they don't come with whatever DLC is advertised on there, or that there's the $10 fee to play online or whatever. Ha.

I found it funny when Gamestop stared rebranding their "Used" games as "Pre-Owned".

 

[Smues]

As did I. As if people would see the Pre-Owned sticker and think the game was somehow better than a used game. Especially since they just started doing it on their used games after some point in time, but didn't go back and relabel the old games. "Why is the used copy of Madden the same price as the pre-owned version? RIPOFF!"

EB Canada is calling them "Recycled" games now.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

I saw that at the mall when I went book shopping. So silly.

So they rebuff them now? Also, since they are doing that, technically can't our government turn around and add an enviro-fee on there? I could see'em doing it. So stupid EB.

Well, I caved and bought The Show. Debating on which team to play as. I'm tempted to play as the Blue Jays, but I'm also tempted to play as the Pirates just because they are always so awful. But there's no DH, which makes me sad.

 

[Cartman]

You can make the NL use a DH, like I have, because it's just better that way.

 

[Kageho]

Huzzah! So you can! And it is awesome. Never have to worry about having my pitcher get injured while having to bat or having to bat again! Sweetness.

Also, Pirates suck. Really suck. Like "why the hell did I do this to myself", type of suck.

Now a question for you guys who play this at a much better level than me. How the hell do you get it so you don't chop everything? I know I haven't played Show in awhile, but I'm just chopping my hits and while I get a good one every once in awhile, I'm not getting the good hits I probably should be. Any advice?
