13:29:44 <ash_> Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
13:42:01 Nick: Simulacrum is now known as Timegrinder
13:52:36 <Carson> zelda looks sweet
13:54:06 <Timegrinder> so does the shield and sword
13:54:24 <Carson> you getting a wii?
13:55:41 <ash_> carson, go to TTP and you can play it :)
13:56:03 <damian> how do they allow you to play freelyw ithout the pads getting stolen?
13:56:08 <Timegrinder> me? No, but after seeing that you could hack and slash in reality with zelda I nearly pre-ordered one
13:56:36 <ash_> the bow is pretty cool
13:56:37 <Timegrinder> if I had money lying around and had bought other things that are more important I'd probably get one, but even then, I don't use my ps2, and I got that FREE
13:56:41 <Timegrinder> so I can't imagine using it very much
13:56:46 <ash_> it goes into first person view and you aim around in 3d with the controller
13:56:52 <damian> how, how, how
13:57:40 <Carson> i've got one pre-ordered
13:57:42 <Carson> :D
13:57:55 <Carson> damn work is going to minimize my game play though
13:58:03 <ash_> lol
13:58:11 <damian> just take it to work
13:58:19 <ash_> thats what im thinking about my new comp
13:58:23 <Carson> for nightshift/weekend
13:58:26 <ash_> i won't be able to use it while i'm at work
13:58:53 <damian> hacksaw it so you can rdp to it, set a receiver up on your desktop at work
13:58:58 <damian> take your controller in
13:59:04 <damian> TADA!
13:59:06 <Carson> haha
13:59:23 <damian> oh, and create a random robot that'll change the disc for you
13:59:57 <ash_> so nintendo have finally gone with discs?
14:00:14 <damian> hrm, no idea
14:00:18 <Carson> ...
14:00:25 <damian> i'd say so tho :P
14:00:29 <Carson> i'm not 100% certain, but i believe the gamecube uses discs
14:00:37 <ash_> historically they like to use cartriges
14:00:38 <damian> ahh yeah, it does too
14:00:45 <Carson> and the wii can use gamecube disks, aswell as the new wii games would be
14:00:52 <Carson> they're non-standard though
14:01:23 <Timegrinder> yeah, gamecube was a proprietary disc
14:01:43 <Timegrinder> cartridges stopped with the 64
14:02:27 <ash_> the name Wii still sucks
14:02:33 <Timegrinder> yes yes it does
14:02:36 <ash_> they said it will grow on people but i think it just sucks
14:02:39 <Timegrinder> at the least they could name it W-II
14:02:52 <damian> whyy
14:03:04 <Carson> well, when i pre-ordered mine, i said "i'm here to pre-order the nintendo revolution"
14:03:13 <Carson> saying wii is annoying, makes me feel like an idiot
14:03:14 <Timegrinder> the only way we could get around not pissing ourselves laughing at the stupidity of it all at the shop was to pretend that 'wii' meant something really cool and mean in japanese
14:03:28 <Timegrinder> er
14:03:33 <Timegrinder> get around pissing ourselves
14:06:06 <Carson> ... nintendo's site is ran on apache/tomcat
14:06:11 <Carson> ... just got a 500 error
14:24:28 <Carson> .
14:24:34 <Timegrinder> ..
14:50:02 <damian> woah!

20:07:55 <aSH^> [19:31:20] <aSH^> my vid card doesn't make it to the native resolution
20:07:56 <aSH^> [19:31:24] <aSH^> it doesn't even have any widescreen modes
20:07:56 <aSH^> [19:31:31] <aSH^> so i'm just gonna wait for my new comp :>
20:07:56 <aSH^> [19:31:47] <aSH^> (i tried installing latest driver)

20:08:11 Mode: (by ChanOP) +o Simulacrum
20:09:02 <stefan> and being >20" DVI should be better quality than normal VGA too
20:09:12 <Simulacrum> he's running on vga for th emoment anyway :P
20:09:19 <stefan> yeah, exactly
20:09:23 <stefan> you probably missed
20:09:25 <Simulacrum> yeah
20:09:28 <stefan> [19:37:42] (aSH^) i dunno if anything i said got through

20:09:38 <aSH^> haha
20:09:41 <Simulacrum> ah
20:09:45 <aSH^> now someone needs to miss that and get it pasted
20:09:51 <Simulacrum> hahaha
20:10:00 <Simulacrum> whoops, carson missed it
20:10:01 <stefan> but with a 19" LCD or better, it'll take a while to wrap :)
20:10:02 <Simulacrum> better paste it for him
20:10:10 <Carson> what?
20:10:13 <Carson> ;)
20:10:24 <Simulacrum> [19:39:20] <@stefan> [19:37:42] (aSH^) i dunno if anything i said got through

20:10:32 <Simulacrum> You missed that, didn'tcha?
20:11:13 <aSH^> what do you mean better than vga?
20:11:23 <Simulacrum> higher quality output to the screen from the computer
20:12:08 <stefan> dvi is digital, vga is analogue (kind of)
20:12:17 <aSH^> isn't that all defined by the resolution/colour depth, or that separate from actual scan lines etc?
20:12:19 <Simulacrum> DVI's also got a shit setup :P
20:12:28 <stefan> yeah, DVI is a crap standard, but the quality is good at short cable lengths
20:13:28 <stefan> but you can only really notice the difference once you hit 20", my two 19" LCDs here are DVI & VGA, can't really tell which is which
20:13:41 <Simulacrum> why would a physical inch make a difference?
20:13:52 <Simulacrum> I thought it was related to pixel vs res
20:13:53 <stefan> it's more to do with the res iirc
20:13:55 <Simulacrum> once you hit a higher resolution
20:14:05 <Simulacrum> the res on that 22" isn't that high from memory
20:14:09 <aSH^> there is a nice benq one...

20:14:50 <stefan> but still high quality
20:14:51 <Timegrinder> and whoooaaaa at price
20:14:52 <aSH^> 1080p + hdmi input
20:16:14 <stefan> hah, all the things that loaded in getright's spotlight the first time were things we'd got in for someone in the past week or two
