I’ve been hearing a lot lately about how Hellgate London didn’t turn out as good as people had hoped. “It was fun for a while”, “I regret paying for a lifetime sub”, that sort of thing. Up until now I hadn’t even tried the game, being too busy with the 360 and not [...]
I’m up to level 7 now in Saga and the level 7 quests I have access to are starting to kick my ass. I chose the ‘War’ nation which is populated mostly by orcs. Now I don’t know what the best wrinkle cream on the market is these days, but damn if these [...]
I mostly game at home on my xbox 360, lately anyway, I used to be mostly into PC games but for the last few months I haven’t found much that I felt like playing. I did start playing Saga recently though, and since the requirements aren’t super high I copied it onto my flash [...]
It’s one thing to be able to use a GPS to see where something has been, but it’s even cooler to be able to tell where something is. Right now. In real time. There are so many uses for a live gps tracking system in today’s world. Find your stolen car, [...]
Cables cost a fortune, typically, it’s one of the few items that electronics stores actually make good money on. My last trip through Staples in search of an HDMI cable would have set me back $80, but I know that’s retarded so I hit up the smaller computer stores instead and picked one up [...]
Lately I’ve been turning a lot of the websites I own into blogs. They’re easy to update this way and information can be sorted into categories or by tags, and entire blogs are very easy to search through. Changing the entire look is simply a matter of downloading a new theme and in [...]
As some people may have noticed, this site (and my subdomains) have been rather flaky lately, especially during the last few days. Emails with tech support have turned up very little useful info as to what’s causing the problem or a good long term solution. I’m getting rather fed up with it and [...]
During a late night gaming session earlier this week a buddy of mine was showing me the latest in the Call of Duty franchise. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on the XBox 360 looks amazing. I’m probably one of the last to experience this since the game has been out for a [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’m an old dog when it comes to graphic editing, I’m still using PSP 4.14 which has gotta be about 12 years old by now. Sooner or later I’ll have to upgrade to something newer and better though, and seeing things like free Photoshop Brushes and patterns is a good incentive. It’s great [...]
So a couple days ago I got a new 500gb drive in to replace my failing 200 gigger, and while I had the computer apart I decided it was time for a good cleaning since it had been a couple months. The video card heatsink fins get clogged up pretty quick and cause my [...]
Last week I had a hard drive disappear from my network. Physically the drive was still there but the computer lost track of it. After unhooking it and re-seating the cables, it powered up again but upon spin-up I could hear a loud high pitched whine that isn’t normal for a hard drive. [...]
A neat little device that would be of use to a lot of people are these USB room temperature sensors. It will monitor the temperature in the room and send out email alerts if the temperature changes above or below your specified range. Using a USB extension cord would allow you to monitor the [...]
