Zero Punctuation Game Reviews

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 [...]

Backed Up Your Drive Lately?

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. [...]

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 [...]
