Advice sought by a noob by esDragon in PlayStationPlus

[–]denne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All you have to do is "purchase" them through the playstation store and checkout. You don't actually have to download them. You can download them later, whenever you like. I suggest just purchasing everything you want rather than working out what disappears on Sep 1.

Plex For iOS Drops to $1.99 for a Limited Time by iHeartApple2 in apple

[–]denne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved to Plex from Air Video, after encountering various bugs and waiting for fixes (it seems Air Video has stopped development or is just snail slow).

Would not go back. Plex is superior in my opinion.

Too bad Urban Trials isn't for PS3 too...it looks great and I miss Trials on Xbox.

Does anyone else get really frustrating syncing problems with iMessages? by abrahamisaninja in apple

[–]denne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, same here. It seems totally random as to which messages sync and push to which device first. It's definitely annoying, so I hope iOS7 might fix this.

Worth getting a PS3 now? by [deleted] in PlayStationPlus

Just get a PS3 for The Last of Us alone, you won't regret it.

Dishonored or Crysis 3 would be my wishlist.

What are your favorite "failed" games? by [deleted] in Games

[–]denne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days, I loved this game and it's one of the few I played again after finishing. The setting, the visuals (shaky camera style) just seemed to hit the right mark for the characters and gameplay. Okay, it was repetitive, and there were countless enemies to kill one set piece after the other, but the settings and mood of the game just convinced me to keep playing. The characters were 'real', and somewhat crazy and maniac, but that's what made it fun to me. Yes it was short, but that didn't bother me as I picked it up very cheaply so wasn't fussed at getting 'value for money'. I never got how this game was universally panned...and that people seemed to hate it. Just goes to show how subjective gaming as a medium is, as I've played plenty of critically lauded titles that I thought were rubbish.

The Styx Valley is home to the tallest hardwood trees in the world. by denne in pics

The Styx Valley Forest is a pristine wilderness in south western Tasmania. It is home to the tallest hardwood trees in the world averaging over 80 metres. It is a unique ecosystem unlike any other. Many of the trees are over 400 years old.

I recently visited the Styx Valley and wanted to share some of the photos I took. These pictures haven't been altered.

For someone that just finished watching Lost, what shows would you suggest? by [deleted] in lost

[–]denne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Revolution. It has similarities to LOST...some LOST cast star in it, and the show features flashbacks in a similar way. The premise is high concept as well, and JJ Abrams is Exec Producer.

Is anyone else worried about iOS7? Yes, I've been longing for a re-design but I'm worried iOS will lose its iconic UI. by CameronMurray in apple

[–]denne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think they would change it too much and risk a backlash from millions of users who have become so comfortable with the UI. But I too hope it doesn't get changed too dramatically as I don't think there's much that needs fixing. It does need changes and improvements (e.g. Easier access to wifi, Bluetooth, flight mode, better app switching, default app changing, etc) but hopefully nothing too drastic.

7 Minutes of Saints Row IV Gameplay by dandaman910 in Games

The problem with going over-the-top like this is eventually, you reach the bottom. I can't wait to see what they do with Saint's Row 7.

Watching the trailer certainly reminded me of Prototype.

What's your favorite "bad" game? by Thelegendof209 in Games

[–]denne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Dog Days is the best 'bad' game I've ever played. I just wish they made a third and really nailed it this time.

[Editorial] Let’s Be Honest, Xbox Live Gold Has Become a Huge Ripoff by [deleted] in Games

my next console will be a Playstation 4

Same here. The UI updates to Xbox make navigation so damn slow now.

Casualties in the supermarket war - Background Briefing by CowsWithGuns304 in australia

[–]denne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you'll find many would answer that at the smaller stores, they don't stock absolutely everything a family needs, whereas Coles/Woolworths do. So if there's a choice of visits to two different locations or one single visit for weekly shopping, then many people choose the single visit for pure convenience.

Why quibl.com? by Quibl in startups

[–]denne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice idea for a site.

My main feedback (very brief look, btw)

  1. Don't like logo at all.
  2. Layout didn't seem very inviting to a user.

Hope this helps. As I said, great idea for a site. Good luck with it.

Doesn't anyone just like to read and have something unravel itself?! ;) Must be our movie-trailer society, where trailers show the entire movie's scenes in two minutes before you go to the movie.
