I’ve been using the free version 7.5 of AVG for quite some time now, it works well and doesn’t get in the way. So many scanners I’ve tested in the past were just horrible. They’d hog resources, slow the computer down and constantly annoy me with popups asking if this or that is ok. I’ll [...]
Just 1 year of payments to go and it’ll be mine completely. It feels like I’ve been paying for it forever already even though it’s only been 4 years. We made the mistake of leasing our first car for 3 years instead of just buying it outright. When the lease came up, it would still [...]
I gave the Rock Band drums another shot the other day at a buddy’s house and had a slightly easier time of it than when I first tried them. Part of it has to do with the seating. I don’t have a proper stool to sit on and instead was just using an armless computer [...]
I had a chance to mess around with Gothic III a bit for the last few days and overall the game looks great but it’s rather glitchy. It doesn’t matter if I turn down the detail and run it at 1024×768 or crank it up to high detail at 1600×1200, it basically runs smooth but [...]
I’ve been having a blast looking up Redneck stuff ever since seeing that homebrew video for Mojo Nixon’s Redneck Rampage. Anyone got some Alabama land for sale so I’ll have a fallback if I ever close my business? It’d be nice to just kick back, collect some unemployment and learn to play a banjo on [...]
Working with computers for a living and playing games in my spare time, combined with 6 months of cold weather equals out to one out of shape guy. I do have an exercise bike, but lately I just get too lazy to use it. For a while I’d try to get at least 20 mins [...]
About a year ago we decided to switch most of our light bulbs over to those mini-fluorescent ones since they use a lot less power, give off nearly the same amount of light and are supposed to last a lot longer. In some rooms we seem to blow a regular 60w bulb every couple of [...]
This is easily one of the coolest new games I’ve played in quite some time. It’s small and cheap ($9.95 to buy online through Steam) and offers near limitless play options. The game shares some vague similarities with the likes of Guitar Hero and DDR in that it’s a musical rhythm game, but with some [...]
I met my wife online many years ago, and after several years of typing back and forth and phone calls, she came to visit during Christmas, 2000. Shortly after she went back home I took a trip over there to visit her and spent 5 weeks in Asia. I spent the bulk of that time [...]
