So I finally did it. After several months of on-off playing, I finally beat Half-Life 2. I’m still not sure how I feel about it because there’s no more left to play. HL2 was by far one of my favorite games ever. The astounding graphics and exceptional gameplay amazed me from the beginning and I’m [...]

Published by April 20th, 2006 in Gadgets and mp3. 0 CommentsI’m the impulsive type. I got reading a bunch of reviews of the iRiver U10, and got thinking that it seems like a cool little player. So I trolled eBay for a while, and lo and behold, I was able to score the 1gb version with a dock for $200. The dock alone retails at [...]
Maybe it’s too much Counter-strike lately. Maybe I like my RPGs a little more scripted, like KOTOR. Maybe I like my free-roaming worlds a little more free of consequences, like Grand Theft Auto. Maybe it’s the fact that Oblivion makes my computer weep when I try to run it with anti-aliasing on. Whatever it is, [...]
Windows on a Mac… End of the World?
Published by April 19th, 2006 in Hardware and Software. 0 CommentsWell, now its official. Apple beat the 1337 hax0rs out of the gate with Boot Camp.

Well, in our search for cool mods, we happened to come across this anti-case mod. Instead of trying to make a computer look like something else, this [...]
I haven’t really been playing many new games lately because most of what’s coming out right now is pure crap. I haven’t been extremely interested in any new titles for several months, but there are a few I have tried recently. I thought I’d share my comments and invite your thoughts on the matter. 1. [...]
