  • Sony D-NE 1

    As the title already indicates I haven't baught Panasonic's CDDA/MP3-Portable but one by Sony. I won't go into much detail here because I really like Panasonic, but a little bit more and faster support for european customers would be really nice ;-)

    But now to the D-NE1: Really a nice player. It comes with a docking station , 2 rechargeable batteries, a remote control with display, a small bag and earphones. On some webpages I saw pictures of it with some really old- and cheap-looking headphones but Sony seems to have read some product reviews and/or customer feedback and replaced them (I haven't tested them not yet though as I already have Sony earphones with bass-booster ;-) )

  • Bad Luck :-?

    I must be definitely on a list of someone out there with the power to destroy all my hardware ;-) About a month ago my primary harddrive died thanks to enough bad blocks to make it look like cheese. And now, right when I thought "Ey, perhaps I could really buy that nice little MP3/CD portable player from Panasonic", my CD-burner has to die too :-(

  • Webcomics addict?

    Thanks to my illness during the last couple of days I had enough time to read the episodes of PvP I missed during the last year ... let's say 75% or the strips. It tooks me about 2 days and then ... I had nothing to read anymore :-( And as pennyarcade was also down back then I noticed something that I probably wouldn't have noticed without these two facts: I'm perhaps a webcomic-addict *g* I mean, one of the first things I do in the morning right after getting out of my bed is to check if there's a new PvP-strip online. I somehow just love those fights between Skull and Brent. Perhaps I should really order a T-shirt ....

  • Some luck

    On our weekly shopping tour where I wanted to get at least one game anyway something quite funny happend. While having a quite intense eye-contact with the PS2-version of Prince of Persia I noticed Beyond good and evil lying right next to it. When I first saw the price I thought "Can't be" and checked it again... 29.90EUR :D

    Ok, now I will have something for the last days of my winter vacations :D It's quite a funny game but some things start to get on my nerves... or one thing but this quite intense: The german synchronization. The whole story is IMO very interesting and all of that, but somehow whoever made the synchronization must have been veeeery bored. Besides that the game is really well done. Nice story, nice gameplay and very short loading-times. Overall I think I will have a nice time.
