Probably going to Rasmussen College in April
Last weekend, I formatted my dad’s hard drive (so it ran faster) and got paid $60 so I can spend it on videogames…possibly F1 Championship Edition for the PS3! High Def high stakes racing….Michael Schumacher became a billionaire off his winning streak. America of course is into NASCAR instead of F1 because we have sports unlike anyone else in the world as “national pastime” unless the other countries got it from us (AKA NFL Europa)
Today I went to Rasmussen College (in Woodbury) and Dean of Students + Head of Networking sat me down with my parents and explained if the courses. The class rooms are suppose to look big and scary and I was suppose to be a nervous wreak, but that’s normal, and I hate getting normal, because getting nervous is stupid and I hate being mainstream. I’m going to enroll here in April, but they only cover A+ instead of CCNA certificate and it’s six times as expensive as WITC. That’s the problem…I wanted to get my money’s worth getting respectable certificate, and this school is really ungodly expensive for what you get, but see I’m not paying for it so that’s not the problem. The problem is they won’t help me get a CCNA (the lowest certificate in the Cisco certification) That’s wimpy compared to CCNP. I said that to the dean, and almost walked out, but then thinking for some reason that wouldn’t be wise (because I’m going there for almost free). The dean (although smarter) and that embarrassing grin on her face knowing I was right. So point is I’m still going to have to fight thru my personal learning problems and get CCNA with a bad job (at least I live with my parents)
Over at Century and WITC, it’s suppose to be chaos with students all wanting their share of attention, but I need a little more then them.
Oh yeah, Virtua Fighter 5 game play is really so much better then Virtua Fighter 4 it truly is one of the top 2 PS3 games out on shelves presently. I had so much fun yesterday playing it!

Resistance Fall of Man & Ridge Racer 7 personal reveiw
First off I know if you misspell worlds your automatically more popular for some reason, but Firefox is the only web browser i can log in with and it has a internal spell check so I plan to use it despite what some popular anonymous guy thinks of elite talk or something...i don't do the so called elite talk here so just deal with it.
First off no dental bills on President's Day due to no cavities despite my above average Mt. Dew intake! I brush my teeth once a day, don't use mouth wash or flase.
I haven't blogged on IGN party because everything seems to be all said for. I can't review a damn game well yet I make 'exceptional resumes.' according to my job seeker program. Ok, I'll try. It's really hard because I'll playderise someone else if I don't....that's real easy to do cos i got it loaded in another tab, but I won't.
Expect it to be less then perfect, but here is a one for my expensive taste.
Resistance Fall of Man short review
I know that Resistance is the only good first person shooter for PS3 and it's the #1 game. PS3 is like a Xbox with hype centered around a pretty first person shooter. This time it isn't a 733 MHz Intel Pentium III powering it....it's a 7 SPE Cell Broadband Engine (more powerful than Core 2 Duo Extreme) PS3 can be seen as the Sega Saturn of the HD era. (with everybody hates programming for it).
The game looks a lot like Battlefield 2 Modern Combat for PC, but it runs at lower fps (30 fps) because the game engine has texture limitations and no hard drive to cache from. The graphics look a lot like Call of Duty 2 for Xbox 360 which was the top selling game before Gears of War...it's not running the Unreal Engine 3.0 which is the best layout engine in the entire game industry. It looks really run down and worse then the Nazi air-raid on London because the game takes place in UK in 1951. And somehow with the creativity of making the Resistance 50 years more advanced /w the V22 Osprey Web as a clear indicator because Humans aren't in the dark even in 1951.
The music is really well designed like in Call of Duty 2/3. I like it okay. Insomniac did a good job on their Ratchet and Clank music and it seems to get a 9.0 at IGN because it's better then most games....that sort of is emulated with Resistance to a certain degree.
Replay value is unrated because I haven't had the time or the need to finish it, but it gets a 9.0 just because it's the best PS3 game out there at the moment.
Ridge Racer 7
Honestly, it got a 8.0 at IGN by directly taking tracks from Ridge Racer 6 that got a 8.5 out of 10 as a launch title and most british-based message boards (Catharton Electronica) also say that because PS3 is in 3rd place so anything using material from a X360 game is automatically bad. So what it has the same tracks as Ridge Racer 6! The graphics match Project Gotham Racing 3 because PGR3 gfx were brilliant for what was seen on X360 in 2005 according to 1up. The graphics are very realistic (as far as whats possible in a video game.) The reflexions on the tracks are really great and look better then what's possible racing games on PS2.
Sound is very trance-like. It's okay and yes, I actually turned it up so my parents hear it. I can seriously get away with this odd music in a video game. Talking about clever. erm, mp3s on hdd anyone? Unfortunately, there isn't a way to read mp3s off hdd in this game like what's possible in 100% of 360 games..disadvantage, but O-well. I still rate this game a 8.0 in sound because I also believe the trance on it is done by a professional and not some amateur DJ.
I give it a 8.4 out of 10 for being fun, but it doesn't seem right for a 9.0 because Resistance has that and Virtua Fighter 5 may even beat a 9.0 tomorrow so a 8.4 just sounds right.

PAQ7 vs. ZIP
(PAQ8 was mentioned in the forums page to be included in KGB archiver 2.0, but the beta version has PAQ7)
Fact known in life, everybody uses zip a lot! Zip can be decoded by every OS quite easily and fast. Zip rules sourceforge.org source archives and executables (although Rar archives have been seen there).
Fast forward 7 years into the super processors of tomorrow (quadcore K8L and Core 2 Duo Extreme) which can make 35% better compression ni amazingly high compression ratios that PAQ7 will give you. Zip still wins for any archive.
For a 35 MB file it will take a good 40 minutes on a Pentium 4 with 2 GB of RAM (and it's running in background on taskbar) and Zip will do this in under 50 seconds with 35% worst compression. So download and extraction of the zip file would take less no matter what broadband you have then the time saved by downloading a much smaller KGB file!
Now if you want to cram 35% more information on a CD using KGB is a good idea. I would do it. In fact I put all my files in 7zip now-a-days, but that is just me. Everybody who makes a open source program wants to put it in zip /w bzip2 compression container!
Point is doesn't anyone feel zip is dated and want to use PAQ7 in KGB Archiver 2.0 (comes out February 14)?
