    Making a Living Developing Xbox Live Indie Games? Don't Count On It

    I just started studying XNA. I downloaded XNA game studio last night. It makes things easier for individuals or small companies wanting to develop for the PC or XBox360. I'm not expecting to make a living off it. I would like to create a fun, interesting, and immersive game, though. Haven't...

    40GB of Mobile Data Can Cost as Much as a House

    Oh, I despise these mobile carriers! When I worked for Rogers/Fido, I saw some seizure-inducing data charges. Many people got bills charging them thousands of dollars. And I saw some bills that were charging the customer hundreds of thousands of dollars for data usage.

    Fixing old PCs is not fun...

    Yeah, Eunoia, that's what I do. I used to have an old Windows 95 computer with a Pentium, less than 1G HDD, and I think less than 512MB of RAM. Sometimes I wish I had kept it, but it really had become useless.

    English! Do You Speak It?!

    Tolkien Elvish? As I recall, LOTR has a ton of info on it. Apparently, Tolkien was a real language buff.

    I'm jealous! I have to get an SSD. I'm waiting for the prices to go down, as we all are.

    English! Do You Speak It?!

    I know English and a little French. I want to learn more, like Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian ... yeah, ok, I just want to be a human universal translator (Star Trek reference).

    A Quick Look at Sabayon 6

    It's stuff like this that can turn one's first Linux adventure into a disappointment. It's a shame. Still, I'm quite interested in this Btrfs ....

    Fixing old PCs is not fun...

    I actually like working on old PCs. For me it sort of brings back memories. While my HP laptop is away, I'm playing old games and web surfing on a 10-year-old Acer computer: 112GB Maxtor HDD NVIDIA Geforce 4 MMX 440 (AGP 8x) Pentium 4 2.66Ghz It was super slow before I worked my magic...

    Initial Reviews Put Duke Nukem Forever as a 'Mediocre' Game

    I'm playing this super-old favorite game of mine Dark Reign. It's an RTS. Ah, the 2D goodness. It has such a charm.

    Initial Reviews Put Duke Nukem Forever as a 'Mediocre' Game

    I sent my laptop back to HP because of the temps and artifacting in games that just started. GPU is probably cooked! Damn, that laptop was expensive! Now, I'm on a 10-year-old computer with a Geforce4!

    why he needs more power ???

    Mmmm, gratuitous power ... I so want to build an obnoxiously powerful system. I'm just waiting for the right time. :D But 4 video cards! Woah, I never considered that! I was just thinking of 2!

    Take-Two CEO Confirms More Duke Nukem IP in the Future

    Since the aliens seem to never give up, Duke should take the battle to their homeworld! There could be levels on exotic alien worlds, in space. Maybe the aliens kidnap him somehow, and that's how he ends up there. Of course, he breaks out and wreaks havoc. Any other ideas on how to keep the...

    Mozilla Releases First 'Rapid Release' Firefox, 5.0

    I've been using Chrome steady for quite a while. I don't see any reason to switch back to Firefox, really. I am curious as to how it's doing these days, though.

    Duke Nukem Forever Review

    Playing it on insane is ... insane! I agree the linearity can be a let-down. I want to get the gunslinger achievement, and somehow misplaced that gold pistol somewhere. I couldn't go back for it, so I had to use chapter select to redo the level.

    Duke Nukem Forever Demo lands TODAY!

    On the second time through, I saw many things I didn't the first time through.

    Duke Nukem Forever Demo lands TODAY!

    Better late than never! Way too late for me, though. I'm playing through the game a second time on Insane difficulty and trying to get all the Steam achievements. Suffice it to say I really like the game.
