South Park Studios

I have found a site that lets people watch full episodes of South Park. The site includes almost every episode. The only ones they don’t have are the newest or most recent episodes. It also includes episodes from every season in a neat organized order. The best part is, the site is in no danger of shutting down because it is hosted by Comedy Central, so its not illegal. So, if you love south park as much as I do, or its your first time seeing the series, then head on over to:

or go directly to the episodes by going to:

Did ya miss me?!

Well, I’m finally back to the computer after having some hardware corruption problems. I’ve been away from the computer for 3 whole weeks and it was pretty much gruesome to endure and I know as he’s reading this, Smokey is probably laughing at me. Even though my current computer is fixed, I’m getting a new gaming rig that will be much better to suit my needs. This computer now goes to my parents. I missed this site and pretty much every site. “Might even click on a pop-up ad just for the heck of it”. I’m glad to be back bitches!!!

SmokestormX plays… Condemned: Criminal Origins

As discussed on the recent Noobtoob Community Podcast I have picked up a copy of Condemned and have contributed to Jam and Locke’s fantastic videos. Seeing as Jam started in the shopping mall I decided to flesh out the beginning of the story, and after this who knows which part I shall cover next (suggestions welcome). So turn down the lights, turn up the volume and enjoy.

Watch me play

I’ve been wanting a capture device for quite some time to allow me to record some some games, and so I have laid my hands on this, a USB Dazzle DVC170. There are a few USB capture devices on the market, but very few can actually record 60Hz PAL properly, and even the ones that can sometimes need to be tricked into thinking thier NTSC.

So I’ve had a bit of fun recording CoD4 and GH3 from my Xbox360, I can now get a little bit more creative and might even to some video reviews like my friend James.

NoobToob Community Podcast

For the past few weeks now I’ve been co-hosting on the Noobtoob community podcast, myself and Shane (Gameshark) have been inviting guest speakers on and I’ve really been enjoying it. The past few days I’ve been working on getting the feed sorted out and today I finally got around to submitting it to iTunes, hurrah!

Londons Calling

Last week I managed to meet a couple of close friends from the Noobtoob.com forums. Whilst HP1703 (John) was vacationing over here and visiting London we had the opportunity to meet up, so myself and Jam Enslaver (James) went down to London and great times were had by all.

I only took a few brief photos (And one video) as John had to catch a train back to his hotel later that evening, but it was well worth the trip to meet them and it makes me jealous of all those going to PAX this year as I know how much fun that is going to be judging by the few hours spent in this cosy London pub.

Procrastination

I’ve had a pretty busy week this week and I’ve been meaning to find a second or two in which to update my blog, but as more time passed I wanted to find a longer period of time free as I then had more things to write about, until I found myself in this situation where the blog has not been updated and all the things I wanted to say no longer hold any relevance, that’s procrastination for you.

The video above was shown as a little advert before my cinema showed Indiana Jones 4, which I watched just this evening and man the first half is an Amazing film but then it decides to take a left turn into the realms of science fiction and fantasy departing from the traditional Indiana adventure and I found myself quite disappointed. All the negative reviews I had heard thus far complained that Harrison Ford was looking too old, but I don’t think thats true at all , sure he’s older, but the date in the film is ten years later anyway.

My New Guitar!!!

Yesterday, I bought a Mexican Standard Strat in Olympic White. Below, is a picture of it. Rather horribly extracted from the original photo with Photoshop.

Tech Troubles

This week I have been doing battle with my Realtek HD Audio Input drivers. All of a sudden my microphone stopped working, at first i thought it was just another headset that has given up on me but it turns out its a problem with my drivers. It seems to have disabled my microphone input and replaced it with stereo mix and has locked up. I have been pretty much trying everything to solve this, there are various forums around the internet with people with similar problems and all their “solutions” are not working at all for me. So if I find my solution I’ll make a post about it here and on the tech forums in hope that i can help someone else with this as I am clearly not the only one. So after successfully trouble shooting my video card I get this, and I’m not impressed.. especially since I started recording podcasts recently.

:sad face:

GTA4 screenie

Today we visited the church from the brochure I posted earlier this week. Liberty City is sure sunny this time of year. We took a few photos, and then stole a sweet ride. Tomorrow we go looking for pigeons to shoot. I’m not sure when I will come home, there’s no rush.

Wish you were here
