    Wii or Xbox?? or DS or PSP??

    The Wii is a fun system that I love and own, but rarely play. I also have a 360 and it gets a lot more game time. The simple reason is: online play! Both have online capabilities, but Nintendo has a long way to go to get something that can compete with Microsoft and Sony. Actually correct...

    Are movies based on games getting better?

    I saw DOA the other day. I didn't like it, but I've seen worse. Same with Silent Hill. It wasn't good, but it wasn't horrible.

    Are movies based on games getting better?

    lol, nice one. ;) (i do hope you're joking, but just in case -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108255/) I think that movie could potentially be one of the worst movies ever made. I'm not sure what was worse. That or Howard the Duck.

    Are movies based on games getting better?

    I wanted to love Halo 3. i loved the first two and I did enjoy the third as well, but Halo CE & Halo built up a story that needed a better finish than Halo 3 delivered. Don't get me wrong, I loved Halo & Halo 2, and I did enjoy Halo 3's gameplay. With Halo 3, I was never drawn into the story...

    Are movies based on games getting better?

    Last I heard, Halo was canceled. Not sure how I feel about it because Halo 3's story was a letdown for me and a vast majority of movies based on games have stunk. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any movies based on games that have blown me away. With that said, as bad as some of the...

    Orotle's Awakening

    Orotle awoke with the word headache of his life. He looked around has he opened his eyes and noted that he appeared to be lying on the dusty floor of a cave. He attempted to sit up, but the room started spinning as he fell back down. "Careful friend, you took a nasty fall and hit struck...

    parent's aren't supposed to act like this

    The annoying part is that the father of the girl that committed suicide has to go to court due to his destruction of the other family's foosball table, yet the family that essentially drove the girl to suicide doesn't even seem to be remorsed over the incident. a friend of mine blogged a...

    What musical instruments do you play?

    My favorite thing to play is Classical Guitar, but I can play a few others as well. Violin, Trumpet, Cello, Guitar (bass, electic, or acoustic), Mandolin, and Piano I started Violin when I was three, so I'm sure I could also play the viola since it's essentially the same as the violin but...

    I've got a new form of code for you, erm, coders!

    The white space output was designed that way as a security feature. Basically to keep the people that know just a enough to be dangerous out of the code. Originally you had to scroll WAY down to get to the code. Pricing isn't a big deal to me because I don't have to pay for it. Fortunately...

    8800 GT's are out

    Personally I prefer AMD and if/when I upgrade my wife's PC, I'll just get another AMD processor. She's actually quite jealous of my macbook though, so when it's time to upgrade her desktop, I'll probably just end up buying myself a Macbook Pro and I'll give her my Macbook (if I can get away...

    How long have you been PC gaming? poll

    My first computer game was either a game called Lemonade Stand, Space Quarks, or Cavern Creatures. The first game that really hooked me though was The Black Cauldron which then got me to buy and play Kings Quest I, II, III, and Police Quest. All were on my Apple IIc. I also played a little...

    I've got a new form of code for you, erm, coders!

    well, i've got free access to books on pretty much any certification or programming language that I want to look at, so maybe I'll look at Pearl when I have time. First it's probably best if I learn Cold Fusion though. It's the language that is used by the developers that I support.

    I've got a new form of code for you, erm, coders!

    The first language I learned was C++. It seems now that companies that use Microso$t have kind of shifted their focus to C# though. It doesn't matter much to me because other than writing batch files to database administration tasks, programming is little more than a hobby to me. It is fun to...

    8800 GT's are out

    Here's some irony for you. I stopped buying Intel several years ago and only bought AMD.....until I got my Mac Mini and then Macbook. lol
