I spent a great portion of my childhood at the arcade. I remember going house to house collecting pop bottles and would trade them in for quarters. I also got a paper route, shoveled and mowed lawns to support my addiction. Thinking back, here are the games I spent the most money on. Now I can play them for free, and so can you!

1. Yie Ar Kung Fu ( Fuck I loved this game )
2. Track & Field
3. Bubble Bobble
4. Wonderboy (Unfortunately I can only find the shitty C64 Version)
5. 1941 – Counter Attack
6. Arkanoid
7. Black Tiger
8. Dragon’s Lair
9. Gauntlet
10. Kung Fu
11. Pac Land
12. Spy Hunter
13. Tapper

1. Open Finder
2. Search Keychain
3. Open Keychain Access
4. Click Keychain Access up in the menu bar
5. Click Keychain first aid
6. Put password, check repair, click start
7. Click verify to make sure there are no errors
8. Bob’s your uncle

So you have multiple computers, a delightful library of music in iTunes but want to play and sync the library across your Macs and Pc’s.  Not the most obvious thing to do is it, after all that’s how you’ve ended up here.

Before you proceed, please be aware that you can only have one instance of iTunes using the library at a time, if you have iTunes open on multiple machines, you’re gonna get f’d in the a. Again, do NOT have 2 instances of iTunes open at the same time.

Setup a library on the Mac

So what I’ve done is set my main library up on the mac. Get all your songs, album art and all that good stuff ready on the mac.

1. In iTunes, click Itunes, Preferences and go to the advanced tab
2. Note the Itunes music folder. You’ll need to go to that location after.
3. Check off “Keep iTunes Music folder organized“
4. Check off “Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library“
5. Click OK
6. Click file, Library, Consolidate Library (This will organize all your tunes into the folder you noted earlier.)
7. Wait for that to finish then close iTunes
8. Remember the iTunes music folder I told you to note in step 2? Go there in finder
9. There’s a file named iTunes Library, rename that to iTunes Library.itl. Don’t ask questions, just do it!
10. Now option click iTunes to open her up. (hold the option key on your keyboard, while holding the option key click on the iTunes icon)
11. iTunes is going to ask you which library to open, open iTunes Library.itl
12. Let iTunes rebuild your shit, then close iTunes (closing iTunes is IMPORTANT).
13. Take a break, sacrifice a lamb.

Setup iTunes on windows

1. Shift click iTunes (hold the shift key and click the iTunes icon to open)
2. iTunes will ask you which library to choose
3. Browse to your mac on the network into the folder noted earlier in step 2 of the mac setup and finally, open the library
4. Let iTunes rebuild your shit

Cheers and thanks for macosxhints’ crazor for the original inspira

I’ll cut straight to the chase, don’t waste your time or money. Both games equally suck.

I have PS3 Sean White and XBOX360 only Stoked and am incredibly disappointed in both. I’m a big snowboarding game fan and was expecting so much more then these 2 games.  Perhaps my expectations were heightened because of the polish on games like Skate where intuitive controls and realistic environments and physics are key. Guess it doesn’t help that these two titles aren’t from the EA monopoly where budget is king.

Even then, these games both seemed rushed, incomplete, drowning in bugs, poor performance, graphical and collision glitches. It kind of feels like your playing a PS1 game on a PS3 console. It feels dated, cheap and just not fun.

Amped was fun, I finished all the challenges twice and played countless hours of it, I also recall ESPN Snowboarding for the PS2 was quite awesome as well.  Both these games were played for an average of 30 minutes and will now sit on the shelf collecting dust or get traded for 4$ at EBgames.  Damn, I ‘ve got to really remind myself to rent games before I buy them…

I was actually going to do a comparison but there’s no point and I’m just too upset that I wasted $140 on two incredibly dull titles.

FUCKIN GARBAGE | DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY | RENT BEFORE YOU BUY

None, the Wii fuckin sucks. Burn it, trash it, stick it in a stew.

It’s been in my living room untouched for approximately 1.5 years.

Nintendo, the once magnificent leader of games has become nothing but a gimicky marketing focused consumer rip off. The whole thing reeks of cheese and is currently the most dissapointing gaming experience next to the sony PSP.

Do not promote shit people, spend your money on good, not bad.
