    Looks kind of like it has a wide neck. I have a hard enough time with my Fender, my hands being small as they are. I'd like to get one still. I am a guitar aficionado. Hopefully I will actually get good someday soon.

    Linux Mint 12 First Impressions

    I've always found Gnome to be rather crash-y. End-up-with-a-frozen-screen crashy. Driver issues, maybe, but it's happened with many different computers of mine. And I really can't rely upon something that may only go thirty minutes before locking up.

    old tech, IN USE! What's your oldest working piece of tech?

    The oldest equipment I have now is an Acer Pentium4 system with an NVIDIA Geforce 4. I used to have a Pentium MMX acer with a 0.98 GB hard drive, 512 MB (I think) RAM, and integrated video (this was bought before even the voodoo cards came out). I kind of wish I'd kept it, but I got rid of it...

    EA Marks Down Nearly Entire Origin Catalogue for Black Friday

    So, you think it's worth the money? I've been playing C&C: Renegade lately. Given it's from 2002, the AI is pretty dumb, but it's still really fun.

    $500-$600 gaming PC

    Crimsonstar, what's your take on AMD vs. intel motherboards? I'm still uncertain. Most people say intel is the best for raw power - virtualization, heavy multitasking, etc.

    Steam weekend sales

    I tried the demo for Worms Reloaded. Pretty fun, but I didn't find it as fun as the original games.

    GOG.com Features Postal, Stronghold & Others in 'Panoply Promo'

    Some of these games are some of the funnest ever. Oddworld! Postal2 is diabolical.

    Video Artifacts

    I ran the express and then the full test, but it didn't find any errors. I'm not experiencing any issues tonight, strangely enough. I might try finding the bootable version so it can check all the memory.

    Video Artifacts

    Just last night I started having issues with video artifacts again. A number of months ago, this issue cropped out then just as mysteriously disappeared. I sent the laptop (HP Envy 17) to HP and they just replaced a fan. Temperature is around 70C when gaming, so I don't see a problem there...

    Could you save more if you chose AMD over intel?

    VMware Fusion Gains Ability to Run OS X 10.5-10.7 in a VM

    It's stuff like that that makes me dislike Apple. Too restrictive and totalitarian.

    Building New Gaming Rig

    I posted this over a year ago, and I still haven't built anything (there are extenuating circumstances). Still really want to though. :D Now I'm thinking Sabertooth motherboard ....

    HTML5 Goodness!

    Here's an HTML5 version of the first mission of the original Command & Conquer: http://www.adityaravishankar.com/projects/games/command-and-conquer. I found it to be a bit buggy (pathfinding specifically), but it's still impressive.
