Public Private Lives
With the rise of Myspace and Twitter, I keep wondering if anyone still knows what privacy or even means these days. Each is unique and special, but both are equally stupid. Steven Rambam hosts a talk at a few venues called 'Privacy is dead, get over it.'. But as bad as that sounds, services like these make all too true. There is so much pointless ( Read more... ) -
Losing Touch
For those who don't live off the feeds of sites like Engadget, Apple yesterday released a new version of their iPod Shuffle. At the moment, I don't really see the point of it. The Shuffle has been a shitty player from day one. However, at least the first 3 incarnations have had buttons on them. That's right, the new one has only a switch. ( Read more... ) -
Free Quake
No, I'm not petitioning to liberate a criminal. I'm going gaga over QuakeLive. I've known about it for a while, but when I discovered it, it was in a closed beta status. After a look back at it, I saw that it's not only opened up, but flourishing. So for those that don't know what Quake is, discarding the history of Quake 1, SoA, DoE, Quake 2, GZ, ( Read more... ) -
Addendum
Well, the QcK's are out of the press. Still slightly mangled, but after a little about a day of use, it's pretty much flat and ready for evaluation ( Read more... ) -
Got Pads?
The SteelSeries QcK mini mousepads I ordered are finally here. On one hand I'm very pleased, on the other, I'm a little disappointed. They have a great feel to them not only under my wrist, but with the glide of the mouse itself. A nice big 9x8 gaming surface to let the mouse move freely as intended. Might need to drop a few grams out of the G5 ( Read more... ) -
Control Means Everything
The best gamers will tell you that when skill is matched, control is the difference between victory and defeat. So thanks to J!NX's Skull Mousepad that I bought last year utterly destroying the skates of my MX600 wireless mouse and nearly 10 million keystrokes just making typing hell on it's companion MX3200 keyboard, I've put in for something new ( Read more... ) -
Because We're Afraid And Stubborn
For those that may not know, I play World of Warcraft. Big surprise there, but I'm not one to let it take over my days. However, when I'm not in the game, I do read World of Raids 'Blue Tracker' which aggregates the CM (Blue) posts from the WoW Community Boards. As of late, there's been a whole lot of traffic concerning the upcoming content patch ( Read more... ) -
Irrelevant Holidays
With the coming of Valentine's Day and everyone having a shitfit with their plans, it's got me thinking. Why do we put ourselves through this year after year? Why is it that we submit ourselves to the season? It is for the sake of getting fucked? Why, I think so. Is it because of some twisted sense of duty? It probably is.
Here's a fucking wake-up ( Read more... ) -
LAN Gaming Supplies
As many might know, I attend a weekly LAN party with zorben and Valen. Today though makes me think a little. You see, my flatmate came up with us this time with his desktop system. The thing is that when we got the PC back here to the cave, is started to have issues. Unfortunatly, it's still down for the count and I'm hoping that Valen is able to come in ( Read more... ) -
Heretic, Daemons, & Aliens
For years we have said that this is a bad thing. Yet they persist in forcing such upon us. Our kind writes articles and they sick the Ordo Hereticus upon us in hopes of what the see are lies. Demos are created and even shown at meetings to bring in to focus just how easily this can be used for greater evil, and the Ordo Malleus comes to daemonize ( Read more... )
