Every Tuesday or when I remember, I head over to The Escapist Magazine to check out the new review by Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation). Once a week he reviews a video game and typically rips it apart, but in a good way. They are very entertaining and in some cases have even gotten the [...]

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 [...]

Back from Halifax now and of course, the EQ2 servers are down for database maintenance. Meh. Oh well, it gave me a chance to browse around a little and finally check out the Game Trading Zone. From what I’ve seen so far it looks like a good way to get rid of [...]
