Waiting for The Old Republic
Jan 2nd
Oh my friggin’ Hare Krishna! I’m in the 3rd day of my 14-day trial with Stars Wars Galaxy (SWG) and I just saw some footage of the new Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG from BioWare and LucasArts. I’m a Star Wars fanatic (with certain restraints, of course) and this new MMO looks like it will be the next biggest SCI-FI game to come. SWG looks way outdated and the only reason why I’m playing is to get my “fix” of the Star Wars universe. I normally play World of Warcraft, but if I can only (responsibily) pay for one MMO per month, it will certainly be SWTOR.
Proprietary Setup in Linux
Nov 26th
What does my blog title mean!? How can the awesome GNU/LINUX be associated with that dirty dirty word, “proprietary”!? Well you’ve heard the terms “cutting edge” and “early adopters” before – it usually means having the latest and greatest, but knowing that it’s not perfect. I experienced that recently and the experience was a bit sobering. My adventure involves two of the most major components of the Internet! Well the two most important components for viewing the Internet – Firefox and Flash Player.
Forza and Me
Aug 4th
I borrowed my brother’s Xbox to entertain both me and Alex (3-year-old son) last night. I let him play “Cars” and I patiently waited for him to go to bed so I can play “Forza” – by falling alseep on the floor – genius! After vigorously playing my campaign mode, acquiring three new cars, levelling to 10, and decaling the mess out of two cars I realized that I should not be going to bed some time after 3:30am. I have too many things to do, in the morning, and video games is NOT one of them. I must have played a straight 4-5 hour session and didn’t realize it. Sure my fingers hurt, but it wasn’t an indication that I’ve been playing too long… just that I needed to not put so much pressure on the buttons. 
Whatcha’ Say!?
