FF7 Remake - Thoughts

Hmm well someone in work (Kris) showed me a quick couple of seconds of this video during work and I was impressed, watching this on his iphone

Seeing this on an iphone made it like waring beer goggles basically

When I watched it all the way through on a bigger screen there are some things I didn't really like but generally I like it and some one is doing it.

From Tech with Love

Hey hey, well currently I am in tech and testing the computers here, I am currently sitting on a mac because it is running at a faster speed that the i3 computers that are littered about. So I am currently Uploading my Lets Play of Prince of Persia on the PlayStation 3 which seems to be going quite rapidly, it probably won't be finished in the next 20 minutes (which is when I get
chucked out of the place) but it is an improvement to my own shitty internet. BT have a plan of providing Fibre Optic in March which I will be upgrading to, whoever can do it but in the meantime this should work out well. It had uploaded 33% in 42 minutes and the file was 1.99Gb so seems to be fine :D. I will certainly be using this and the approximation of these stats to gage whether I can use the tech for uploading videos, and if so how much.

So in 42min it was able to upload approx. 0.7GB of data to YouTube.

That is around 0.017GB per min

Running a speed test @ http://www.speedtest.net/

Download speed - 106.83 Mbps

P.C. Stats In Preparation

So at the moment I am writing this with my wireless keyboard controller trying to get used to it. It's not bad but like I have said before it is a bit different but fully functional. So I am doing a write up of my current computer, so I can make sure I have the right drivers that are up to date to the posting of this. Also I have a record of what I have and how to upgrade this P.C. for gee (my girlfriend). So a quick rundown of what I have in the house and what set-up I currently have.

DVD Multi Recorder ReWriter
Hitachi HTS543216L9A300 Laptop Hard Drive 160GB Plus 2 others.
MSI 790FX K9A2 Platinum Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT Graphics Card Driver & NVIDIA __ Graphics Card
Samsung SyncMaster 172v " Monitor & Philips 196V3LAB 18.5" LCD LED DVI Monitor
Trust Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard & Dell Laser Mouse
2 power supplies
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 - Arctic
RAM 2X2GB & 4X1GB
AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor 2.20GHz
OS Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3
Official Microsoft Xbox 360 LIVE Vision USB Webcam - White
Xenta Wireless Mini Keyboard with Touchpad and Multimedia Keys - USB

So I will be editing this with different links and drivers to hopefully make the transion into Windows 7 a bit easier for myself. I may even attempt is this week :P.

Time To Upgrade Part 2

So picking up where I left of the last time, I have decided to build a new P.C. with a few key needs in mind. These key ideas were to do video editing, creating images and hopefully learn how to program. What was stopping me from buying my stuff is, you guessed it, the lack of funds. So I have decided to buy the upgrades that I will be doing to my P.C. for my girlfriend and work with that until the funds become available.

So the Upgrades that I decided to get.
Computer Case, one that had an upright position and room for everything.
Cooling Fan, this was for the AMD Phenom 64 processor
Keyboard
Monitor with DVI
Thermal Paste

As before I had done some research into some of these products but generally they were pretty easy to pick out. The only thing I didn't need to pick out was the Computer Case, because as it is going to be my Girlfriends Computer when I upgrade, I thought it might as well be in her taste.

Keyboard - £2.99 - ebuyer
Well not much to write on this, got one that looked like it wouldn't cause a hand cramp and one that didn't look weird.
This was one that fit the profile the Xenta Black for £2.99

Thermal Paste - £5.96 - ebuyer
Again not a lot to write, just had a look around on the reviews and this one seemed to come out very well. This was bought through ebuyer as well. The reason being is that I have had a good customer experience and they are reasonable with the prices.
So I went with Artic Silver for £5.96


Cooling Fan - £16.24 - ebuyer...again
The more interesting stuff, so the cooling fan was a tricky one and even now at the time of this writing I'm still second guessing myself but it has been ordered now so I can only make a change is there is something wrong with it. The Cooling Fan had to be able to be mounted on a AMD Phenom 64bit Chipset, which was to work with the motherboard, MSI 750FX. What I also wanted to do is if I got a more universal one I could see if it would be any use for my new computer and it could be a saving of £30. Just like the thermal paste, the arctic team seemed to come out quite well.
What I decided on was a Artic Cooling Freezer 7Pro for £16.24


Computer Case - £43.40 - amazon
So in regards to the computer case the only thing that was needed was one that passed the girlfriend test, my previous ones were all shot down (but in a nice way :P) so it was up to my gf to do what she does best. Research. She came up with a nice model, seems to have what you need in a case.
So it was decided on the Compucase ATX Case for £43.40.

Monitor - £52.49 - ebuyer (jeese man why don't you marry them)
So on this front I had already done my research into which monitors that I was buying, it is in my This was the Philips 18.5" LCD LED DVI Monitor for £52.49

A little Extra
Wireless Keyboard - £19.98 - ebuyer
So in my last post I was contemplating about getting one of these and after reading reviews like...

"Fantastic range and brilliant functionality, the little touch pad is ideal and although you won't be writing an essay on the keyboard, it's perfect for putting in the odd web address."

"I prefer this to more expensive wireless keyboards I've used. Used at a distance of 5 metres no problem at all."

I decided to say, why not? If it doesn't work on the consoles, I will still be able to use it with my P.C. and have the ability to control it from a good distance.
This was the Xenta Mini Keyboard & Touchpad for £19.98

While I was first writing this up I was looking through the orders and noticed ebuyer had already sent it via parcel force, this in turn made me dash home. After about 15 minuets I arrived to find a card saying they had left it at my local post office... WHICH was straight across the street to where my classes were held. On the form it says that "If you are collecting your parcel, please allow 1 day.".... Why??? Why do I need to wait a further day when I know where it is and I know how to collect it. This made me start to ring the local post office to see if I could collect it today, and also leave in the broken laptop at the same time [The New Current Challenge - My Blogger]. After hearing the news from the Post Office that they had not received it yet and would be getting it in at 4pm, made me think could I call parcel force and not have to get off my lazy butt. But they said that because of December and how busy it is for Christmas they would not be able to redeliver it today. They did say though that if it was another month they could do it.

So then I decided that becasue I had the laptop and it needed fixing and the boxes could be there I got a shower and headed out on my quest to retrive them. Everything went fine from there, I had packed 2 extra bags with the laptop bag, left it in and headed to the post office. He seemed to reconise me from the phone, which was quite weird but he had the packages, scanned very quickly my id and handed me them. I was so excited but I still had time to be rejected by my request for a lift from my father. :P. So I walked back home and the following videos are from then.

My Dispute

Well hello there, so today I have just been through a new process. It started off with me uploading older videos that I have just recently edited. So I had put up Mediacore Episode 0


Which I was very pleased with because I have been meaning to edit these videos for a while. Then not even an hour after it was uploaded I got a flag from youtube about the content. This was Bungie Unboxing of the Halo Reach Xbox Pack which I used their video and reported over the top. I have to say I was only a little bit annoyed because I got a nicely worded email through.

Dear Moltile,

Your video, Mediacore Episode 0, may have content that is owned or licensed by Bungie.

No action is required on your part; however, if you're interested in learning how this affects your video, please visit the Content ID Matches section of your account for more information.

Sincerely,
- The YouTube Team

Upon reading this I opened my original edit file and took it out and replaced it with a screen grab of me looking at a few websites concerning the Xbox review. It is currently rendering as I type at... 57.4%. That was when I decided to do a bit of research into what is going on with the copyright infringement. So as most went straight unto wikipedia, and then decided I need something else because if I use this as a fact people will laugh at me :P. I then found a website copyrightservice P-09 & copyrightservice P-27 which applies to my situation. Now mediacore is intended as a Gaming news and reviews show and by U.K. law "6(iii)Criticism or review & 6(iv) News reporting" but I don't mind if I need to take it down because I have the other one edited now.

So unto my dispute, I first went through the process and then freaked out a bit about what can youtube do to me if I have messed up. So the few screens that I went through are just below.



Like I said I did this first and then the "ohh what have I done" thoughts pop into my head. Now I did read a few pages [P1, P2, P3 & P4] which in turn calmed me down a bit because mine was not as bad and I have the backup of it anyway. Well I will add in an edit if I get updated on it. I actually have 2 Videos banned from Germany... I think for just music but nothing I want to do about them because I think I was in the wrong and I will just have to re-edit them.
