Latest Film Watch
To continue watching the Die Hard series I watched parts two and three. Both of which I found really entertaining and it was almost like watching them for the first time again because it had been so long since I had watched either of them, maybe close to a decade. By the third film John McClane is almost a super hero and can do some impossible feats but if you’ve stuck with the series that long I don’t think it’s going to bother you too much. Bruce Willis fashioned a very memorable charactes. It’s about time we got an Irish action hero. 
I have come to realize that I REALLY like these Die Hard films. I haven’t seen Live Free or Die Hard yet, it’s due to come from Netflix on Blu-ray any day now so I hope it turns out good.
The Orange Box PS3 getting a patch? Let’s hope so!
It seems that evidence is mounting to prove a patch for The Orange Box for the Playstation 3 is in the works. If you recall many reviews stated specifically that Episode Two (one of five games included in The Orange Box) has framerate problems which is probably the biggest of the apparently many “bugs” within the game.
Word on the street is that the port was rushed to get it out in time for Christmas. Valve didn’t do the porting either, an EA team got the honors, but will Valve handle the patch themselves? Maybe, judging by the words of a Valve employee on their official Steam forums discussing the Playstation 3 version of the game.
Below I’ve posted a couple links to news posts on other blogs featuring the quotes from the Valve employee, addressing a patch for performance issues, and to fix the sound bug where Dolby Digital Surround doesn’t output via an optical audio connection (I wondered why I only had Dolby Pro Logic avaialbe).
