One of my biggest gripes with the PSP is that once the battery drains, you have to rest the date and time.  In this day and age, I do not get that.  It is a minor issue, but since battery life is not very long, if your system sits idle, the PSP will drain the battery, and you will have to rest the date and time the next time you power up the system.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned yesterday, I downloaded the 4.01 firmware.  I plan to spend some time this weekend playing around with remote play to see if I can get it working correctly.  I would really love to be able to throw in a PSX game and do the remote play thing.  Also, it will be a travesty if Qore does not support remote play.<\/p>\n<p>I think Space Invaders Extreme has to be my next purchase.  It is getting a lot of good reviews (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.n4g.com\/PSP\/games\/g-111812\/tt\/metareviews.aspx\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.n4g.com\/PSP\/games\/g-111812\/tt\/metareviews.aspx', 'n4g.com');\" target=\"new\">n4g.com<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/games\/platforms\/psp\/spaceinvadersextreme\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/games\/platforms\/psp\/spaceinvadersextreme', 'metacritic.com');\" target=\"new\">metacritic.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"http:\/\/totalplaystation.com\/psp\/Space-Invaders-Extreme\/reviews\/7929\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/totalplaystation.com\/psp\/Space-Invaders-Extreme\/reviews\/7929', 'totalplaystation.com');\" target=\"new\">totalplaystation.com<\/a> review caught my eye:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt also means the game is almost constantly giving you something new to play with. It\u2019s challenging, of that there can be no doubt, but as you re-play levels, you\u2019ll notice patterns and more efficient ways of destroying enemies that lend themselves to what I can only imagine will end up being some of the most incredible speed runs of the game ever seen. The potential for those with far more time and obsessive-compulsive tendencies will end up blowing minds.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This sounds like the perfect pick up and play game.  I have to tell myself reasons to justify keeping my PSP.  Maybe this one will do the trick.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since I wrote much of anything significant about the PSP, which means it has not been on for a while.
