New Aliens Vs. Predator Game Doesn't Make It Past AU Ratings Board 277

An anonymous reader writes "Australia refused to give Rebellion's new Aliens Vs. Predator game a rating, effectively banning it in the country. Rebellion says it won't be submitting an edited version for another round of classifications, however. (As Valve did with Left 4 Dead 2.) They said, 'We will not be releasing a sanitized or cut down version for territories where adults are not considered by their governments to be able to make their own entertainment choices.'"

KingofGnG writes "An impressive confirmation of the Dolphin Wii emulator's capabilities comes from a YouTube video, which shows off recently-added video clips of New Super Mario Bros. Wii in full HD. It demonstrates the growing compatibility of Dolphin with the latest games published for the Nintendo console."

Comment Radio Shack Nickel Metal Hydride seems superior (Score 1) 896

I bought a quad of Radio Shack NiMH AA batteries and their charger in December 1999. I have recharged these batteries at least 150 times each and they still work very well in my Sony Walkman cassette. These are the gold colored 1200 mAH version. Their current model is 1800mAH and is colored metallic green.

I later purchased (on sale) several quads of Panasonic NiMH AAs, and I have been disappointed. They are 1800mAH suppposedly, but do not hold a charge as well as the Radio Shack ones.

There does seem to be a difference on various brands. The next ones I buy will be Radio Shack, even though they are not the cheapest.

I have used NiCad as well as rechargeable alkaline, and NiMH is clearly superior.
