PS4?

With that mysterious playstation even happening tomorrow(more like later today), I should share my two cents before ps4 gets announce and I lost bragging rights to spot on predictions =D.

So let me start with my pessimistic guess on whats going to happen. The entire event is spent showing move controllers compatibility with the vita. along with showing a prototype vita midlife face lift...w00t! and if we get lucky, they officially acknowledge that they are working on a next gen console.

Now, on to what I really think, or wish was true.
Originally, I was expecting sony to stick closer to their 10 year cycle. They dropped hints in interviews about wanting to just sit out the competition and see their specs. The truthfulness of these hints were backed by their silence and vagueness regarding the vita's future, echoing what really became of the vita... which is really not a lot... Then there's their lineup of first party games seeming to flow endlessly, hinting the ps3 still has some time left.
Aside from their PR being a source of evidence, the 10 year cycle really matched the dates of upcoming computer technology revolutions. With DDR4 ram just around the corner, it was just the start. GDDR6 seemed to be coming in a couple years. Nvidia is working on project Denver. This stuff isn't just the next faster version, it's a redisign to get around the limitations of current tech. Dropping a new console with the latest tech now would only have it fall behind PCs much faster than other years. Not to mention SSDs have just dropped past $1/GB, which is still rather expensive.
Most importantly we are getting new TV tech. There's 4k, 8k and OLED coming out, and there is no way current machines can run games to 4k's potential. Personally, I think 4k could end up as a secondary common resolution(like a replacement 720p) while 8k becomes the new real standard (like 1080p). Last E3 we saw tech demos from the latest game engines which looked amazing. Those things ran off of high end current computers(with some headroom), but also ran on current display tech. Imagine how crummy it would look if they were upscaled to 4k because next gen consoles could only run the current standard, which is 1080. On top of that fps is no longer a limitation with OLEDs, because iirc they can run at 10,000 fps...or something to that effect of ridiculousness, so people are going to want more frames in their games as well.

I was quite sure the rumors were wrong and I'm the smartest person in the world until this even was announced. Maybe that's what sony was going to do, until they realized what I think nintendo is up to.

(conspiracy theory) Basically nintendo sticks to a six year console cycle like they are minding their own business, while sony and microsoft tried to drag on this gen to make it to the next gen of computer tech. little did they know, that it was all part nintendo's plan, beginning from the gamecube. First, they had the weakest machine for two gens, making the competition disregard them as they could then sit out the console war. Then the wii u comes along, in the middle of what is technically only in the middle of said 10 year cycle of the other consoles. The wii u itself is made just to act as a two way bait. It could either make the competition think they are weaksauce and try to sit them out again(while they start to win this halfway gen), or make them panic and move their schedule up. Either way, nintendo wins with that 6 year shcedule. They either get to drop another halfway gen again next time(if sony and ms speed up to compete), or they become the last to release a real next gen(if sony and ms decide to wait out their 10 years) while putting minimal effort in hardware to sit just slightly above the rest.

This is where my last prediction comes in. Looking at the timing of this event, sony realized nintendo's plan and decided to move their schedule to compete with them. In order for them to also win against the wii u and what becomes nintendo's next half gen upgrade they need to use their secret weapon. That weapon would be the rumored AMD cpu, combined the iirc the story of sony buying back a cell processor plan from toshiba  or someone like that. The AMD rumor is a bait to make ms finalize their specs thinking they are on the same page, and acts as a morale booster for devs and fanboys, thinking the cell is gone. The war is then won by outliving and outperforming  everyone and everything including high end PCs for the get go by using the cell processor. How that is used? There is a certain supercomputer that IBM built, using cells to do the hard work for the AMDs that they are connected to...while the AMD cpu go for a tea break or something. It's called the roadrunner, and it's a very efficient monster. With that out in the wild, packed in cases of game consoles, sony can sit on their hands and call it a day, for another 10 year cycle...or so I dream =D

On the off chance that this long winded conspiracy theory that nobody will ever read happens to be true, I errr... umm... idk what to say about it then lol. XD

anyway sleepy, cant type, no pics, nobody wants to read wall of text, etc

Riot Pls

One day I saw this.

A few days later i had an epiphanic dream and saw this

Two seconds in and I immediately awoke from the horror of this revelation.
That uncanny resemblance... I don't even.

btw, still alive

Fixed my laptop with a simple hdd repair program that fixed some bad sectors. the program itself seems bugged and hasn't run properly eversince...lmao. then my laptop went dumb again. somehow the disk check in windows solved it.
Took long enough(to find out I could have fixed it all along *facepalm*), but now my laptop is usable again.

Put a 500GB hybrid drive in my ps3. now has space and runs faster =). Worrying about whether stuff was backed up, whether gameshared licenses would transfer to new drive, and blasting out the boatload of dust with a compresser was far more a hassle than actually changing the drive. Everything transferred without even deactivating the system. just had to log on to each psn and deactivate and reactivate again.
The point is, new hdd doesnt count as a new dl, so there's no need to deactivate old one. Just need to reactivate so the system knows that the network knows it's a legit copy or something like that lolololol.

working through ps3 backlog and finished a couple hg kits. maybe i'll show in another post. totally out of the loop with anime. still watching, but not as fast as they come out. and I don't what the new or even current shows are anymore lololoololo.

oh and that playstation announcement on feb 20. gotta throw my theory about next gens out there before they are announced. loolololololl

dfficulties in computing...

my laptop is suffering from massive retardation...can't even  do anything properly anymore...

takes 1 hour to startup, resume, sleep, or hibernate. it also repeatedly freezes up for a few seconds to a minute, no matter what im doing. it's especially annoying when im trying to watch anime, or watch youtube... the audio stutters and loops all weird before freezing up. i think it's something wrong with the hdd cache. but that's just a very wild guess based on the hdd gadget on the sidebar showing me massive read/write spikes from flat line to ceiling and then back down, whenever it gets choppy, while the actual numbers are always at 0B/s.
on top of that the weather is getting hot, combined with my badly ventilated room, i dont even feel like doing anything on the computer these days...
(^weird white highlight that i dont even care to fix)

been playing ff13 on ps3 instead. everybody says it's a bad game and they they should have made a movie instead. i can see why, but i personally don't feel the same. i think as an FF game they might have dropped the ball, but as a story based single player game it's still entertaining overall. even though it's so fulled with cutscene, i dont think it could translate into a movie. i think they should've made a TV series of it with an accompanying novel series lol.
im not finished with it, but that's what i think of it so far. it's totally worth playing for the story imo...at least up to where i'm at XD

oh yes, and my compressor died before i got to paint with it...died spraying the dust from another computer
-_-

it all sounds kind of emo, not that i really feel that way.

here's a cool song for anyone that had nothing better to do and actually read all that junk ^

an original song by a vocaloid song writer for an awsome nico singer that sings in english. with new york accent =D

Me noticing stuff coinciding again.

this time it's relevant to this blog because there is pewpewpew involved =D

there are unrelated ads that use the same good old music cause it's good
then are video game trailers that the use the same song out of the blue both for the sake of being obnoxious and are released exactly one week from each other. -_-






seriously, lolwut?
gearbox did it for teh lulz, but why you do this bamco?

the inverse of unicorn's javelin

here's how FA unicorn's hyper javelin/halberd thingy looks(pic stolen from gaijin gunpla)


and here's what is speculated to be the newest incarnation of the moonlight blade in armored core 5
the beams have the same streak effects, even though they are coming out of the opposite side. (i forgot where i stole these acv pics)


even the hinge on the javelin looks like the handle on this

i should stop noticing these really pointless things...

random pointless thing i discovered

i was randomly listening to yoppie's version of meltdown when i suddenly realized  one of the random jingles he added to the song sounded like the aquarion op, so i went on youtube to check

what i discovered was some really weird coincidence...or more likely an intentional easter egg
in both songs, the music fades out and the vocalist goes solo and sings the verse at exactly 3 minutes and 57 seconds into the song.
i say "into the song" instead of giving the time of the video because in the aquarion video the music starts at 0.9 seconds while meltdown starts right away. but in the aquarion video, the singing starts 0.9 seconds late at 3:57. so if you account for the time from the start of the video to when the music actually starts, the timing is dead on in a rather scary way.
what's more is that the aquarion song had to be the live version where there is an extended intro for this to work. the original cd version doesn't have this intro and so the song is shorter so the timing doesn't line up at all.

i guess that's enough of me ranting about nothing.
see for yourself

note: sure yoppei sings faster, but the point is the time that he starts singing it





p.s. i should win a prize for being so awsome and noticing something so pointless =D
