Fix Inverted Controls: Batman Arkham Asylum (PC Version)

For anyone who has attempted to play Batman: Arkham Asylum on their PC with a gamepad: You may have ran into an problem where the character walks forward while you press down on the left analog stick and walks backward when you press up on the analog stick. Also, if you are used to the normal XBOX/XBOX360 controller layout, you may notice the X/Y and A/B control bindings are backwards as well. This issue can be quite annoying as most all attempts to correct this through any software outside of the game itself seem to be disregarded. NOTE: These instructions are for specific use with an original XBOX S controller with the USB mod!! If you would like this to work with another gamepad, you need to figure out what binding your PC is using to reference that specific controller first. Below I have posted instructions on how this issue can be easily fixed. 1) Browse to the "\BmGame\Config\" directory where the game is installed. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ei...

Wii Energizer 2x Induction Charger - Flashing Red Light - **Update**

Image
After I had posted this troubleshooting walk-through, I had decided to just leave my Wii Remotes on the charger any time they are not in use. The reason for this was because the manual states that this system will NOT continue to try and charge the batteries once they are at 100%. (Makes sense of course) Since I have started using it like this, I have had zero problems. I am wondering if these batteries are subject to the well known "rechargeable battery memory problem" that we all know and love. (For those who are unfamiliar, Google it!) At the same time, I am now wondering if the original cause of the issue is because sometimes only 1 of the batteries in the pack are charging. If so, it would make sense that the induction charger would not attempt to charge it any further because the battery pack is reporting that it is charged. For anyone continuing to have problems with this system and who would like to do some troubleshooting on their own. I would like to challenge...

Sprint's Samsung Intrepid: How To Tether - Use as Modem

Image
Just recently I swapped out my Moto Q9c for the Samsung Intrepid. Now this is not a review of either phone but I must say that the Intrepid is a very nice upgrade from the Q9c. It has all of the functionality of the Q9c plus a LOT more. Now, when I first was researching this phone I had come across multiple comments online about how you are unable to tether this phone to your PC. Since I highly value this option I was hesitant to make the swap, but I figured I would give the Intrepid a run anyways. Once I started up the Intrepid I went directly into the menus as usual to see what was available. Low and behold, the familiar "Internet Sharing" icon was present. From here, I tethered the phone to my laptop without an issue. For those of you having issues, below I have included a walk through of the exact process. Step 1) Press your Windows key to bring up the menu. Step 2a) Scroll down to the "Internet Sharing" icon and select it. Step 2b) You will now be presented ...

Wii Energizer 2x Induction Charger - Flashing Red Light

Image
Scenario: Approximately 2 months ago I had purchased the Energizer 2x Induction Charger (flat panel) for my Wii console. I loved the fact that you could simply just rest any Wii remote (that has included induction battery installed) directly on to this flat panel device and the charging begins. Whether you have the motion plus attachment and/or the rubber protective Wii remote cover installed, you simply lay the controller down as indicated by the product image on the box and voila. Simple enough right? (Insert Disappointment Here) Well, yesterday I placed one of my Wii remotes onto the induction panel only to find that in about 5-10 minutes time, a flashing red light caught my attention. Now anyone that works with ANY electronics at all can deduce that "red flashing light"...is NEVER a good thing. Especially those Xbox 360 fans out there. Now keep in mind, I have only charged this particular Wii remote maybe 4 times MAX since I bought this charging system. (I d...

Happy Halloween 2009 - Pumpkin Carving

Image
I have not posted in a while and just wanted to say Happy Halloween to any visitors out there. For your enjoyment I have posted a few pics of my pumpkin carvings for the past few years. Hope you enjoy them! (2009) (2008) Poor attempt at creating a "self" carving... (2007) Fairly pleased with the outcome of this one. I just grabbed a few knives and made it up as I went. -TanthT

www.MissingCamera.com **Update**

Still working on the site design for www.MissingCamera.com . Thus far the site is fairly usable where visitors can simply browse the current postings for recovered cameras and photos. At the same time you can quickly create a free login to post images from a camera that you may have found. I am still working on the site logo as well as color schemes and layouts, so these items may be ever changing over the next few weeks. Please check it out and tell your friends. Perhaps one of them has lost or found a camera that they may like to reunite with its owner. -TanthT

www.MissingCamera.com

Purchased www.MissingCamera.com yesterday and am currently in the process of creating the site. The idea came to me after finding a "lost" camera at our resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico on 7/27/09. It was the Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa to be exact. While browsing through the photos on the camera, it looked as if the owners had lost the little blue Olympus camera the night before their departure so my efforts in giving the camera to a local resort worker at the "CoCo Cafe" most likley ended up being a wasted effort. It was at that moment that I thought, "Wouldn't it be great to be able to reunite people with their cameras/memories by the use of the internet?". It was then that www.MissingCamera.com was born. Unfortunatley for this particular blue Olympus camera, I turned it over to the resort in hopes that the owners would check in to see if it had already been located, instead of keeping the camera and posting the images/camera information on ...
