Blu-Ray Outlander at my sisters house. Excellent movie, great concept I love the story and was one of those movies where the action starts off right away. I was pleased.

1600x1200 on an ancient 19". Soon to be upgraded to 24" Widescreen. When I am gaming I go 800x600 though because it makes everything bigger.

Which screen resolution do you prefer?

Post here with the title of the last film you saw, and a quick comment on what you thought. :) No spoilers though ;)

The first thing you will notice about Bioshock (in DX10 mode anyway), is how delicious the graphics are. The first time I decended into the bathysphere and headed underwater to the entrance point my jaw just dropped, the graphics are simply awesome. The water and fire effects in the game are incredibly realistic and just look damn fantastic. My only complaint in this department is that the blood effects are a little crappy (as in the blood spray when you hit an enemy, the blood pools enemies create on the floor when they bleed out are actually pretty realistic). The water reflection and refraction effects are also awesome As for the gameplay... All that I can say is that Bioshock is like no other shooter you will play, the plasmids and slight role playing elements make it a truly unique FPS, and the enemies are amusing, as they are spliced up and totally insane, and some of their behaviour is amusing, however their gung-ho attitude to fights make the game a trifle more difficult than your average shooter. The other thing you will notice is that the Environments are incredibly expansive and cleverly designed, in fact it is easy to spend hours just wandering through them looking for things, and they really help to suck you into the story, as the added environmental realism makes you feel like you are really there in a ruined and deserted underwater story, and the audiotapes you pick up along the way do a good job of helping you learn the story of Rapture as you go along, giving you a bit more insight into the background story than some other games. Finally, the storyline of the game is also very clever and intricately woven together, and it creates an extremely compelling environment that adds to the immersive nature of the game. Pros: Fantastic Graphics Cleverly Designed and expansive Environments Compelling Storyline Great characters Game engine supports SMP which enables it to scale brilliantly to multi-core CPUs There are multiple ways of solving most challenges meaning the game has good replay value Cons: Bioshock uses Deferred lighting which unfortunately means that AntiAliasing cannot be used in-game when you run in DX10 mode The Viat-Chamber save system does not appear to have been very well designed, if you die you are not respawned with full health Due to the size of the environments and the complexity of some challenges in the game, playing the game can be a touch daunting to people not overly familiar with FPS games The game has no official support for Shader Model 2.0 Graphics Cards

Welcome to the new Game Ratings forum! If you've played a game recently and want to share a review with everyone here at Invite Scene, then this is the place to do it. Please take note of the forum rules posted above, and make sure that every thread has a tag! For the sake of unity, this forum is not platform specific. In fact, we encourage Multi Platform reviews here. For example The Simpsons Game was released on several platforms. Instead of having several threads, one for each platform, please create just the one thread and use the [MP] tag to indicate that it's a multiplatform review. You can include the platform you're reviewing on as well if you want to, for example [MP][X360]The Simpsons Game. Any questions - please contact a moderator, or post here! Enjoy!

We have made some simple RULES for Gamers' Hangout section. If you follow it carefully you won't get into any trouble. Please follow these guidelines: Do not flame any member directly or indirectly, no matter how right or wrong you believe that member to be. If somebody does flame you, report it. Do not reply to it in any way. Feeding the flames does not help, and can result in disciplinary actions taken toward you as well as the member that flamed you. Trolling will be moderated just as heavily as flaming. Trolling on a certain company or console will not be tolerated at all. Jumping in a thread just to say, "Microsoft sucks!" or, "Sony sucks!" etc., will result in disciplinary actions taken against you. Trolling simply creates a more hostile atmosphere and will almost always result in flaming and arguments. Do not respond to trolling. You should simply report any post you believe to be trolling. Responding to any trolling posts also can result in disciplinary actions taken toward you as well as the member who was trolling to begin with. Do not call out another member by name in a negative fashion. Even if you just want to say, "I told you so" to somebody specifically, do not do it. This sort of behavior can and will cause a snowball effect of flaming and simply cannot be tolerated. Do not respond to somebody that has called you out by name. Report the post and be done with it. Responding to such a post can result in disciplinary action against you as well as the member you reported. If a thread has simply degraded into a full-blown argument rather than a debate (read: unsubstantiated attacks against other members rather than a calm discussion between members with different viewpoints), do not participate. Even if you want to tell those participating in the argument to stop, do not do it. Responding in any way to argumentative posts will only make it worse, and, once again, may result in disciplinary actions taken toward you as well. Leave the argument alone and simply report it. If you're trying to debate with somebody that seems to have an opinion based on skewed or even completely incorrect information, just let it go. You don't always need to be found correct, and you won't always be agreed with by everybody. If you are caught infringing upon these guidelines, disciplinary actions will be taken, resulting in a warning and, in many cases, a restriction from Gamers' Hangout for a certain period as determined by the staff at that time. Repeat offenders will eventually be restricted from Gamers' Hangout indefinitely. I, as well as the rest of the staff, will be monitoring and moderating Gamers' Hangout as much as possible, keeping this new policy in mind. Do not misunderstand us -- we do not want to be too strict, but we cannot have the behavior we have been seeing if we want to have an open, friendly, and fun community. we're gamers, so we know how to have fun. Try to keep that fun-loving attitude when posting on InviteScene.

Review: The Wireless BitTorrent router I heard some stories about the Asus WL-700gE, aka “the BitTorrent router” a couple of months ago. It was announced as the ultimate gadget for torrent freaks, so I decided to buy one as soon as it was available. That was three weeks ago. 160GB Built internal 3.5″ Hard Drive 3 USB 2.0 ports Web/FTP Server Photo Album/Message Board Wizard Auto bandwidth management (downloading + web browsing) Plug ‘n Share USB Storage + RAID mirroring iTunes Server + UpnP AV Server Power usage (approx) 30watts peak (restarting router) and 15watts “idle” and a lot more The router comes with a setup utility, thus configuring the router is pretty easy. The goal of this article is to review the BitTorrent related functionalities of the router, but I have to say that the router does pretty much everything it promises. To name a few things: The Itunes server works like a charm, and is very useful if you want to access your mp3 collection with other gadgets or computers. The FTP server allows you to create multiple users with separate access levels The plug and play USB backup works like it should. The Wireless signal is excellent, it has no problem to bypass the two steel-enforced concrete floors in my house. But now the BitTorrent part. The Asus WL-700gE comes with a “download master” utility that supports ftp, http, and BitTorrent downloads. There are two ways to download torrents, you can upload a torrent with the “download master” utility on your pc or you can access the “download master” in your web browser. The progress of the downloads can be monitored in the transfer panel of the download master. It lists the filename, progress, size, speed and ETA. The web-based download master has a few extra monitoring options (peers!, download/upload). Download Master Web Download Master The transfer monitoring is quite buggy, the speed and filesize update every 10 seconds or so, but the torrents have the strange tendency to stop downloading if you watch the transfer progress for more than a minute. They resume downloading as soon as you minimize the window. And there are more bugs. About 50% of all the torrents I paused, never resumed after the pause. This means I had to redownload all the data. The overall speed is ok, and it shouldn’t matter too much, since most people will use it to download torrents overnight. There is not much to tweak. The only option you have is to set the time the torrent should seed once the download is finished (default is 1 hour). Too bad they didn’t include a ratio seed setting. Conclusion: Overall I would say the router performs very well and is worth the money (I paid approximately $300). However, the BitTorrent client is very buggy and limited. It works but it could and should be improved significantly. The router would not yet replace my regular torrent client, but it does the job at night. pro’s: torrent downloads work (sometimes) all the other features are sweat con’s transfers stop at random files disappear tweaking options are limited Source: TorrentFreak(TF): http://torrentfreak.com/review-the-wireles...torrent-router/

here what write in SCL news: if any buddy what SCL invite this is ur chance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

After having negotiated a deal with the entertainment industries, ISPs in the UK have agreed to send out warning letters to customers who are suspect of downloading copyrighted movies and music. However, one ISP has decided to take it one step further, by acutally disconnecting alleged copyright infringers. Every day, tens of thousands of warning letters are sent out to ISPs on behalf of copyright holders. Some ISPs simply ignore them but the majority forwards the emails to their customers. However, the actions of the UK ISP Karoo in dealing with these requests are quite unique, and more far reaching than this. Instead of notifying its customers that they have received a letter from a copyright holder, with the claim that their IP-address is associated with illegal downloading - Karoo customers are immediately disconnected without any prior warning. As we reported last year, Karoo doesn’t even allow users to have an open router. Andrea Robinson is one of the Karoo customers who was accused of downloading illegally, Terminator Salvation in her case. She lost her Internet connection and the only option she has to get her Internet access reinstated is by signing a form sent to her by Karoo, which says she admits guilt. “The form basically said ‘if I admit my guilt you’ll reconnect me’. So I didn’t sign it and walked out. I’m still not reconnected,” she told the BBC. With Karoo being the only ISP in her neighborhood she is now left with no Internet, and clueless what to do about it. According to the BBC she is not the only one, as there are similar cases at Karoo dating two years back. In the United States there is one ISP that employs a similar strategy - Cox. When Cox receives a takedown request from a copyright holder, it will disconnect the customer associated with the IP-address, if they don’t admit to being guilty. If a customer receives three takedown requests their Internet is cut off entirely. The real problem with Karoo and Cox’s methods lies in the fact that they act upon accusations made by anti-piracy organizations who employ evidence gathering methods that are shoddy, to say the least. In the UK, the BBC consumer show Watchdog revealed how easy it is to point the finger (and pull the plug) on the wrong person. For Karoo this means that these wrongfully accused customers will lose their Internet access, unless they admit to an offense they were not involved in. Since Karoo is the one and only Internet provider in the area, some will feel that they have no alternative, and they will sign the “guilty” form just to get back online. The anti-piracy groups must be proud of Karoo and their reckless tactics but the ISP should stop to consider the future. Monopolies don’t last forever and the Internet has a long memory. Update: After today’s reports Karoo decided to change their policy. Instead of disconnecting alleged pirates directly, they will operate a a three strikes and you are out rule.

Downloading Terminator Salvation and just finished Angels and Demons.

I use DVD Shrink and Nero ;)

Thanks, I will look into it ;)

I am 14, loads of spare time. If I am not hanging out with my friends I am on the computer a little too much. I would have to say 10 or more :)

If they aren't that good I usually just trash them and if they are good I usually burn them onto a DVD and give em to friends and to keep for myself of course :P

It varies, if I don't like what I have downloaded I usually delete it. I would say on average though 1- 2 Gigabytes. I think I am going to buy an external 1TB HD and then put just Torrents and stuff on it ;)

Just want to know :) For me, 7 hours (working) + about 1-2 hours (spare time) from mon to fri On sat and sun, often 2-5 hours. a little long, I think. How about you?
