Random Thoughts

I wonder if Tony Stark has problems sleeping, he’s a permanent nightlight in his chest.

FF13

So I scored by not getting FF13 at launch, current sale at K-mart has it for 29.99

Lazy Movie Review: Iron Man 2

This review is going to be exceptionally lazy – this review from Pajiba sums up my thoughts quite nicely. And omg, the first paragraph created some nice visuals in my head. So, read that.

And yes - stay till after the credits. Highlight for spoiler:
A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent investigates a huge crater and finds a hammer.

So, we’ve got a solid, fun action movie that’s not quite up there with Iron Man.

Sony is the Devil

So I got my new 500GB hard drive from Newegg.com and was all set to install that badboy. I took out my PS3 form it’s shelf. I cleaned the shelf and wipes off the system. Then I opened up the drive bay and found a nifty blue screw holding in place. With a quick twist of the wrist that was out and I pulled out the old 60GB.

The drive itself is contained in a metal sled and it’s held tot he sled by 4 teeny tiny screws… MADE OF SILLY PUTTY THAT STRIP IF YOU LOOK AT IT WRONG!! So, now I have a very large hard drive and and very small hard drive permanently attached to the device that I need to attach to the very large hard drive in order to make that damn thing work.

I trip the the playstation forums indicated I’d have two options. Handle  t as an out of warranty replacement which will get me another 60GB drive screwed in by He-Man that I’ll likely have the same issue with. Or I can try and sweet talk a Sony rep over the phone and for a small fee expect a replacement sled in 3 weeks or so.

I went to eBay. Replacement sled will be here in a couple days and then… then, I shall have a stupidly large hard drive I’ll never fill up! Buawahahaha!

I have to go cry now.

UPDATE: I should point out the old drive is stuck in the sled, so it is still usable. My PS3 isn’t dead. I’m just stuck with the old drive for a bit.

Lazy Basterd’s Jukebox: Rise by Origa

I’ve found that a lot of anime theme song and soundtracks are just plain awesome. Here’s the theme to Ghost in the Shell 2nd gig.

No idea what that Russian chick is saying, but it sounds great.

UPDATE: Yes this paticular video has a translation, bite me.

PS3 Minor Upgrade

Soon, my PS3 60gig will be 500gig! Buawhahaha!

Lazy Blu-Ray Review: Planet Earth

I recently picked up the BBC documentary Planet Earth. I watched the first part last night. Wow. I live there?!Made me want to become a Boy Scout or something – until the Great White shark jumped 20feet out of the ocean and swallowed a seal whole. That, made me realize TVs are our friends. There’s shit with teeth out there.

A few highlights:

• Polar bear cubs sliding down a  snow bank, if you don’t smile you have no soul - no soul at all
• Baby elephant separated from the heard follows his mothers tracks, the wrong way – must be dust in my eye
• monkeys don’t handle rivers well and it’s hilarious

And this, while not from Planet Earth, is animals and awesome.

 

Don’t mess with mommy.
