If you think the nanomachines bit is interesting, read Michael Crichton's Prey.

 

ahh, sci fi book ? I should check it out technology these days

I would give you details, but the most interesting detail would totally spoil the book. It involves nanomachines heavily, though.


 

I'll check it out, thank you I am already putting so many books on hold to read haha.. The Alchemist, Veronika Decides to Die, Deathnote Series, The Prince, Etc.

Woo..

From the back of the book...

"In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles - micro-robots - has escaped from the labratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive.

It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour.

Every attempt to estroy it has failed.

And we are the prey."

And if you don't know Michael Crichton (and if you don't, shame on you), his past works include Jurassic Park, Congo, Timeline (the movie was shitty, but the book was ace), the Andromeda Strain, etc.


 hmmm, sounds allot like Nano Breaker but allot better, I wonder if this would translate into a good movie or game.

It depends on who gets a hold of it. 

If Steven Spielberg directs it, it'd probably turn out awesome like Jurassic Park.

If somebody else directs it, it turns out like Timeline.  That's one of my favorite books, and all it's potential was wasted on that crappy movie.

I usually just don't buy used games. >_> 

The only used games I have bought were MGS1 and DBZ: Budokai 2.  The only reason I got BDZ used was because the dumass GameStop employee brought out a used copy, even though I never once said I wanted a used copy.  It was a crowded store, I didn't feel like arguing, and it was only DBZ afterall, so I just checked otu and left.

I recently bought a whole load of PS2 games

(Silent Hill, FF12, Siren, Parappa 2)

And it just kinda bugs me how FF12 has a cut on the cover, haha.. I buy used games too, its good for budget.. but I guess I like the aesthetics of a game case ? haha I dunno..

I don't know what I am talking about

 I always try and get brand new games for budget prices.brand new game = untouched virginpre-owned game = used slut I guess I see it like this, so at the end of the day who doesn't want a virgin.

 I always pre order.  I know when games are coming out so I throw down $10au and save the rest.  Helps the budget.  I preordered my ps3 for a yr.  I never by used games, unless it's rare.  I buy all the games I want to collect, the rest I wait til they are platinum or really cheap.  The latest thing I'm doing is pre ordering at EB (as you get cool items i.e. I got a Aluminum Case for Assassins Creed) and then I wait for a catalog and EB match the price.  Here in Aust, Big W (department store) sell there ps3/xbox games for $88au, where as EB and others sell for retail which is $100 - $120au. That can be a saving of up to $40 odd.  Now I get good pre ordered items (collectors items) and the cheaper price.
