Re: Valve asserts that piracy is about convenience

I fail to see how piracy is more convenient than Steam specials and how a game without all the extra bells and whistles that you usually get (achievements, ranked matches / matchmaking, access to DLC, etc) is better than the legal version. :roll: The sad thing is I actually know some people who flat...

Watching that movie was painful. It was kinda like Warriors Way: artistic but lacked any real depth, emotion and oh ya story! :(

Yeah, was awesome, but Tangled is too much brilliant! Would have loved to see that in 3D. I'll shyly admit that I've seen this movie more than once on the big screen and it was amazing everytime I watched it. 3D is definitely a must for this movie, the lantern scene is especially spectacular when s...

Re: The Movie Thread

I watched Tangled again this weekend gone past, man I love that movie, possibly the best Disney movie made to date and the first one to wrench a tear out of me. :oops: It's also Disney's 50th Animated feature so I'm really glad it was as good as it is. :)

Re: Player for *.h264 files

Mike try this program to store the stream in an MKV container. With the extension being h264 you'd think the stream would be a normal MPEG4 Part 10 (aka AVC) based file, meaning it should be playable with ffdshow codecs. If you use media info to open the file what info does it yield?

I'd recommend AVG, or Comodo for the slightly interested, and MSE for the net plodders who couldn't be bothered.

I finished Tomb Raider Anniversary & Underworld over the weekend (last weekend :P) and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I swear CD taking over the TR franchise was the best thing ever. I can't wait to see what they do with the reboot that is coming out next year. :D

Ok for those of you who don't want to download the massive 461MB version of the trailer but still want to see it in HD, I've re-encoded the movie using H264 & AAC. The only difference now is that it is 350MB smaller. :) You can grab it from any one of these links: http://hotfile.com/dl/78368530/...
