SOLDIERX.COM Nobody Can Stop Information Insemination

Ok, I've had a chip on my shoulder for the last fifteen years about this and after this week it's time I talk about it. Recently, I saw some people wanting signatures for clean power when right on cue, "What I Got" starts playing which prompted me to not sign. Now, many people call Sublime punk and credit them for reviving mainstream interest in punk. The reality is that Sublime is NOT punk, not original, and one of the most overrated bands of all time.

Ok, I've talked before about how GPU acceleration is starting to get heavily abused. Well, I've just about had enough of this cause some of the programs (cough, Skype 5) force GPU acceleration and do not allow for it to be turned off. Seriously, on a mobile platform with any decent Nvidia or ATI chipset this will make the laptop overheat with no justified reason. This bullshit needs to be stopped and developers need to either optimize it, or at least give people the option of turning this broken bullshit off.

Over the last couple of years I have accumulated a small pile of old cases and out dated junk that is starting to fill up office. Majority of it is not worth sending to 3rd world or give away. Dose any of members in the Jacksonville, Fl area know of any place that will take old pc and out dated laptop parts.

Ok, this is one of the hardest entries that I will have to do cause the honest reality is that Cave makes AWESOME shmups. However, I must call into question their recent missteps. As an American fan I feel puzzled by the decisions the company has made about US releases. What makes this worse is that the erratic decisions continue to this day.

First, in 2009 a huge news development took place when Mushihime-sama Futari, one of the most infamous Cave shmups in terms of difficulty, was made region free for the Xbox 360. Now, unlike most games released domestically for the 360, this is extremely rare due to Microsoft of Japan requiring all content be cleared in all regions according to Cave's official blog. Also, they would talk about possible future domestic and worldwide releases. This would get our hopes up, but shortly after these would be dashed.

Happy new year to all soldier-x members

Ok, today I have a hell of an axe to grind. It's no secret that I am a fan of rhythm gaming. Most recently, the DJMAX series of games was one of the reasons I chose to buy a PSP and not a Nintendo DS. However, the games themselves are having some major issues lately.

Ok, this is something that I have been VERY interested in seeing. For those not in the know, Serial Experiments Lain is a series that is beloved by both myself and RaT. However, the DVD release reflected that it was released in 1999, which was still considered the infancy of the DVD format. As a result while the release was better than most anime releases on DVD at the time, it still had image artifacts that were sadly common in DVD's early years. After Geneon closed it's US division in 2007, I believed that getting a better home release of the series would not be possible. In the meantime, the series has now received a Blu-Ray release in Japan under the title RESTORE. The biggest concern was that this would suffer the same fate of other Blu-Ray releases of older anime, which was merely standard definition masters that were merely upscaled.

and here was i thinking SX Blogs feature was just for SX Members. Not 100% sure what i'll ever put on here but i'm sure i'll think of some useless crap that no-one will read so stay tuned

It's not often I make a post like this, but this is a cause that I feel should be supported. The second Humble Indie Bundle has been available for a bit now and features five independent games that are actually good for what they are. In addition, the price on these games can be named on them so they can be bought for as little as one cent or in the case of the creator of Minecraft, $2,000. (I do think this atleast deserves a few bucks though.) The money can be split among the game developers, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Child's Play (which I strongly support as a charity), or leave a tip to those who set up this promotion to help recoup their costs. This is a very worthwhile cause so if possible try to spare a few bucks for these guys at http://www.humblebundle.com for some good games.
