Ahh... Far Cry! The best game I ever played! Headphones is a must. I wonder what Crysis will be like....



B12 - Obsessed, from the album Electro-Soma, one of the first from Warp Records.

Edit:
Er, my overly tired brain thinking about my storage options. I need the space, i don't need the noise, and i dont like a NAS.
eSATA and a 400 GB Samsung is the obvious choice.

Benny Benassi pres. The Biz - Satisfaction (Steve Murano remix)

Steve Murano clearly one of my, if not my favorite house DJs, definitely worth checking out!

No i was thinking more in the lines of keep my 2x samsungs and lacie USB drives, or get a 500Gb WD or 500Gb USB drive, FW800 is almost 50% more expensive.. Or if i can find some decently priced e-sata. The 400Gb samsung is too small..

Benassi Bros. - Turn Me Up

I could not find any Steve Murano records in my normal record store, and that was the only store in Finland i found that sold me the Benassi records among with a few other i had a hard time finding. Ill try Pandora and see if that knows of him... No it hasnt. And his own website only sells t-shirts and stuff. So i guess ill just settle for the remixes on my Benassi records.. :roll:

I can't believe how Far Cry manages to stay interesting.. And look good :shock: Most FPS games get boring after you play thru them once.. :(

And i just ended up taking a few short naps :lol:

And if you get bored with it you just use the cheat codes and hit F3/F4 just to check what's beyond those hills you can't reach.....

eSata enclosures aren't that expensive, €35 - 40. The one reviewed in SPCR cost €40 in Sweden.

Edit: Primal Scream - Higher Than the Sun [Higher than the Kite Mix], from the album Auntie Aubrey's Excursions Beyond the Call of Duty, Pt. 1, by The Orb.

FarCry is the only FPS so far where i wonder what might be behind the hill or how i can get to that island, and actually go and check it out. Its kind of cool :)

eSATA availability is non-existatant in Finland it seems.. Wel i found about three, they all cost 50-60€ and none of the shops i looked at had any in stock.

It seems prices on HDDs dont drop here as fast as in the states for example, the 500Gb WD isnt available for under 200€ anywhere and you can get it for 170$=135€ wich is quiet a huge difference.. The 400Gb samsung is pretty cheap, but thats too small.

And i can get a good USB drive like a Lacie cheaper than i can get a bare 500Gb drive... That's just nuts. I might have to go with two 320Gb drives, they are 95€ or so. Though the whole point of this is to manage with one drive instead of three... :roll:

I just thought of something, im kind of using this thread as a blog :mrgreen:

So yeah, im listening to Nirvanas Bleach. Nirvana- Mr. Moustache

Live@ Lola's - Track 15

Live@ Lola's seems to be some kind of live house music recording, of some serious magnitude of acts... I got it on a CD someone burnt for a friend of mine and I borrowed, and allthough I don't recognize every song, since they are unfortunately not correctly labeled, I have been able to pick out for example: Benny Benassi, Daft Punk, Deep Dish, some house remix of Eric Clapton - Layla, a Manfred Mann remix, Shapeshifters... some pretty awesome stuff.

It annoys me not knowing what I'm listening to actually is... but it's still good music

Hehe.. It is indeed very annoying when you listen to something that you like, but have no idea who is performing.

I just opened a bottle of The Glenlivet Nadurra 16yo, and i have to say its pretty damn good :shock: Even though it's 48% it doesn't taste that strong, and its very smooth :) Recommended, if you can find it. I had to take a picture of the bottle :o
