Love love love The Dark Knight

I saw it twice at the movies, one of the few worth $9+. We bought the DVD and sat on it for 2 weeks, waiting for the Xmas/New Year break to watch it again... and it was SO worth the break. Christopher Nolan captured what I have always loved about the Batman with this movie, he's a true hero in every sense of the word without seeking any of the glory. In a way he is like Sam from LOTR (an Xmas tradition of ours is to watch all 3 extended LOTR movies), he is an under dog true to the cause regardless of any recognition. The Dark Knight is just one of those movies I will never get sick of watching, even though I know whats going to happen next.

I can't wait until the next one.

The Wind makes a great PS1

For the last few weeks I have been experimenting with emulators on my MSI Wind. The first was Project64 which plays Nintendo 64 games and works well. Then this week we finally got rid of our spare old monster of a TV, I had been using it to play my PS1 and PS2 instead of having yet another box in our TV cabinet. This gave me a new challenge of hooking up my Playstations to my PC monitor or finding another way to play my games. After messing around with a TV that didn't want to play ball I decided to look for an emulator to run my games. I found the mother load of emulators at www.emulator-zone.com, ePSXe had the top rating and I now know why. You have to do a little searching for a PS1 Bios (in the usual places), but once located and after the setting wizard I was playing MediEvil on my over clocked Wind.

Happy days!

Now all I need to do is make ISOs out of all my PS1 games. Sadly emulating PS2 is a different animal so I'll just have to drag it downstairs when I want to play.
