On the day itself? Not much. A bunch of people sat awaiting pranks from various websites that never happened and one announcement everyone thought was a joke, that apparently wasn't(Ashton Kutcher portraying Steve Jobs in a biopic). A bad joke that resulted in a temp ban that is now over. Not much happened.
Has anyone here ever played Emerald City Confidential?
I have. It's extremely simple (easier even than BTTF) and will probably only last you a couple of hours. I wouldn't call it an adventure game... more of an interactive story.

Hey Firefall might be done with their bizarre testing schedule, I can actually play test it when I want to now.
EDIT:Once it updates. I've been updating all day, I hope the servers are pertinently up.
Come back from a whole day of awesome celibrating my best friends birthday!
Man the guy is so lucky. He's got a 42inch TV in his room. An LED one too.
Its AMAZING.
We had great fun playing Tales of Graces F mainly. Making random jokes, eating crappy food. Went out the MK centre for a bit. He bought lots of stuff.
He is a good guy. Its his birthday yet he paid for all my food. (Couldn't find a working cashpoint, and only had just enough cash to pay for the journey home)
He gave ME some stuff. A Dave Mustaine Autobiography he just finished reading, a component Xbox cable that he doesn't need anymore.
Heck! He even gave me the blu ray drive from his broken laptop. (He sent it off for repairs. No-one could fix it. Its currently in a shoebox in bits. Kinda sad, but he's not so lamenting)
Needless to say, me and dad were keen to set it up once I got back.
And its working great. Didn't need to install any drivers, and I managed to get a free copy of Power DVD 10 (apparently HP laptop owners get it for free, from the support site (must use some computer-model check on install. Didn't reject my laptop and its working fine at the moment. Been watching Alien on it. I have other cyberlink software on here pre-installed, so it might be some kind of licensing deal or something))
Doesn't do blu rays, at least not without having to rip them and remove the copy protection first.
(Don't have enough space for blu ray rips on my drive. Laptop only has 500gb of memory and its mostly used up (need to do another purge at some point))
The Dave Mustaine book is probably pretty good. I haven't read it, but I know enough from being a fan for... too many years to know he's led a pretty interesting life. I can't say I'm too thrilled with the reborn christian forgive and forget Dave, but his life has been crazy. He seemed much cooler when he was bitter and angry.

Hmm... I didn't know that. Well, I don't have a Bluray player (nor do I need one, tbh).
To tell you the truth, the conversation on these forums about the lackluster quality of some movie conversions to Bluray (I think BTTF was used as an example and how waxy Marty's skin looks, among other things) kind of turned me off from interest in it.
About the one best thing (concerning video) I can think Bluray would be great for is an ability to store whole seasons of TV shows on one disc, instead of on 4 or 5 DVDs.

The "waxy" look that you're referring to is due to the overuse of 'Digital Noise Reduction' (DNR). Honestly, I wouldn't let that put you off the Blu-Ray format. The majority of films have a wonderful transfer, it's only a few bad eggs that spoil things.
A truly great transfer that's executed with care is comparable to the jump in quality from VHS to DVD.

I've had one for eight months now. With mixed impressions indeed. For one, I've bought about the cheapest player on the market, and that causes a lot of hickups with the picture quality. Still, some Blu Rays are just plain excellent and I would not want to miss them (for example Avatar, Tangled, A Few Good Men). I avoided Back to the Future because I knew about its quality. But I indeed own some BRs which let me wonder whether there's really improvement from the DVD. Sometimes a Blu Ray movie presents DVD quality at best only to remember what they can do in some character close-ups. That's really not enough for me.

Yup, it's really interesting how this new medium is NOT used. Movie industry. :rolleyes:
I wish HDMI cables had a better physical connection. I use 3 and over 3 years, one has completely come apart from the weight of the cable(electrical taped together now) and another one is becoming loose after 2 years. The cheapest being the newest so it's hard to compare. Oh well. I just wish they had screws like monitors and older printers did.

That would actually lead to degraded visual quality. If you take a multiple episode season and fit it all onto one disc, you lose all visual enhancement and expanded quality you could have hoped to acquire in a blu ray format.

Sure but then again there is stuff from the 80s and 90s that cannot really look better than their DVD releases.
My cat brought a mouse in the house (there's a moose loose aboot this hoose). Luckily we were able to trap it under a bowl and release it back outside.

The dancing section is appalling. 'Star Wars' really doesn't have any credibility these days. Remember when we had good Star Wars games (and films)? 'X-Wing'/'Tie Fighter', 'Dark Forces'/Jedi Knight'.
I hear that the MMORPG version of 'Knights of the Old Republic' is a good game but I long for another epic single player Star Wars game.

But that MMO wasn't made in house, probably a reason it's good.

I think it sounds like he doesn't like gin. Not even with olives.
And just because lots of people like something doesn't mean that thing is good. It just means that lots of people like that thing.
So, uhh... What did I miss on April Fools day?
You missed THIS.
Also, I posted things about trashy men and bikes leading little boys to hell.
You should make a Sniper with a Perception of 1. And then name him The Blind Sniper.

Road Dogg and Billy Gunn The New Age Outlaws (Suck It) have confirmed to be in WWE 13.
I did - it was okay, but felt a little hand holdy with it's instructions.
Dang. I guess I won't get it, then.

I use Media Player Classic for all my on-computer video watching needs.

But if they have more discs they can justify the insane prices for TV show boxes better. Putting all on one disc would be counter productive.

Sure but then again there is stuff from the 80s and 90s that cannot really look better than their DVD releases.
In any case, I have the first 8 seasons of NCIS on DVD, and there are 6 discs per season. That's 48 DVDs. I'd rather there were 8 Blurays.
I think those would be suited more for 16 BluRays.
SO much fail. Lucasarts, can't you just go back to making adventure games?
Silly StrongBush, Lucasarts hasn't existed since the 90's! XD

Its great to be in the EM-PIRE TO-DAY
The Village People have lost an idiot.
I'm Han Solo
I'm Han Solo

U mad bro?
I'm not mad, just disappoint.

If having thought can prove existence, then does that mean inanimate objects and stupid people don't exist?
