There are other things that I find annoying like starting off from certain checkpoints. At the point of the game where you go to secure the pumping station it’s a long walk and when you die it’s a long walk all over again. Maybe I just die too much, lol.

Other than the bugs themselves in Gears of War I’ve had trouble running the game itself. It’s disappointing after just having played Call of Duty 4 with maxed out settings and no issues at all. Gears of War has been choppy, I’ve ran the update, updated my video card driver and still have issues. I’ve read that a lot of people have had issues running the game. In this case I don’t think it’s a hardware issue, I exceed the minimum requirements. It probably boils down to the fact that it’s a Microsoft game for Windows arghhh. I’ll still finish the game, beat it and burn it, next please.

Update | I finished playing Gears of War last week and promptly uninstalled the game.  It was a lot of fun and challenging, if only it didn’t continually freeze and have so many bugs it would have been awesome.

Strangely enough for having gone out and purchasing a new DVD player I couldn’t even care less if it actually played DVD’s. The main feature about this DVD player that I was excited about was it’s USB direct functionality. This makes life so much easier and saves untold hours of transcoding and burning DVDs. From home video to slide shows, photos, mp3s, tv episodes and downloaded movies you can just copy it to your USB flash drive, plug it in and enjoy!

The Philips DVP5982 has an HDMI digital video and audio connection and allows for High Definition video (720p / 1080i/1080p). It also supports, MPEG1, MPEG2, DivX 3.11, DivX 4.x, DivX 5.x, DivX 6.0, DivX Ultra compression formats for video and Dolby Digital, MP3, PCM, WMA for audio! It’s a great little player and works wonderfully, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a new DVD player!
