About Me
My name is Roryzilla. Long time lurker, avid follower, and person with opinions on video games or things of that nature. I enjoy alternative music, RPGs, Action titles, and chicken parmigiana subs. If I have something to say about a game or news story involving the circus that is the gaming world, I'll post it. If not, I'll be following the lovely staff and community members blogs and write-ups here. If not that, I'll probably be fantasizing about 90's platforming games while touching myself. I just want to be open with you, so stop wincing, please.

REZ HD, and Why I love Opera
Roryzilla | 3:13 PM on 02.27.2008 16 comments




REZ HD has taken over my life. I had the original for dreamcast and loved it, and now it's back on the 360, and I'm so happy. This is old news, but I just now bought it and I'm loving it. The different ways you tweak the graphics like the bloom and glow and sepia tones, along with the different sound modes like underwater and cave really make it a lot of fun to play. It's the kind of game people will come over to play, but don't mind watching as well because it's so damn trippy.



Along with that news, I just downloaded a different browser. I used to use Safari, then went back to Firefox, and now I'm using Opera. For those that don't know, Opera is fucking amazing. It's (In my opinion) the fastest browser of the three, and surfing is really fun with it. Mouse Gestures are rad, if I hold the right click, move my mouse to the left and release it, I'll go back a page. If I move it to the right, I'll go forward a page. The gestures make it really fast and easy to navigate, along with this feature called Speed Dial. Basically, it shows up when you launch opera, as 9 numbered boxes. (see the picture above) You type a website in and save it, and it shows the page inside the box, then yuo can click it and start surfing. At any time, you can hold control and press 1-9 to go to the page you assigned it in speed dial. Be sure to save a Rick Roll for when friends are over.

Anyway, what do you, the people, think of REZ HD or Opera? Can anyone show me anymore trippy games that I may enjoy?

I ran Opera for a year or so and ultimately ditched it when I found it to be incompatible with a site that I was using regularly. I already have the "mouse gestures" feature, as my four-button mouse in conjunction with XP has the same sort of functionality (without having to move the cursor in a specific direction). And I have a folders of bookmarks to open in tabs, which works out much the same as "Speed Dial".

It's a decent browser, but I doubt I'll ever go back.

Rez is awesome... in any incarnation.

Never used Opera. I used Netscape forever and then moved on to Firefox. I don't really have any complaints with Firefox, it runs crazy fast on my rig. I might try opera on one of the other computers here though.

I read it as 'Why i love opera" as in the music, not the browser. So when I saw the post title I was like "wow, how did Rez make him start listening to opera?"

I used Opera years ago when it obviously ran faster than Internet Explorer on my dial-up. I agree completely about the mouse gestures. One of the first extensions I got for Firefox was [url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12]this[/url], which is even better than Opera's gestures.

Opera is a good browser, because from all accounts I've heard Firefox for OSX is broken, and I'm going to assume that you use OSX because you said that you used Safari. It's not a bad Browser for Windows either, but firefox is just so much more customizable, what with customizegoogle and adblock

Yeah, firefox is pretty weak on OSX. I wasn't really feeling it. But I'm really diggin Opera. When the next firefox update comes out I'll grab it and check it out. I love firefox's customization, and I think Opera severly lacks in that department, but otherwise it's great.

I run with IE7 bitchez!!! That's right browser fanboys, I'm sticking with MS!!!! Why? Cause it's already there.

They all work about the same for me. Seriously, no improvement to be found on either Firefox or Opera.

I dunno why, but whatever. IE FTW for me, even though I'm sure the others are actually superior. Runs lighting fast for me.

That's the beauty of IE... that FTW attitude will one day suddenly turn into WTF when it destroys your computer.
