I’ve seen a lot of headlines about Windows Vista and XP on sites like digg lately. Vista isn’t being purchased by businesses because of drivers, slowness of machines, memory consumption, etc, and some people seem to think that Vista is doomed. I just don’t see MS giving up on the OS anytime soon. As bloated […]

I just blogged about this the other day: Since the only TV I have is a small 19″ SDTV, I decided to get one of those VGA connectors so I can connect my 360 to my Dell 20″ LCD. The size difference won’t be noticeable, but the Widescreen change will. I’ve noticed that the text […]

One of the first guides I did for IGN was for The Sims Online. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game, but I didn’t continue the subscription after the first month was up because I just couldn’t afford it at the time. Some time has passed and I was wondering how the game was doing and […]

The other day Ogre and I briefly chatted about bringing back some of our old sites. He’d like to bring more gaming info to his blog, but there’s no substitute for his old Through The Ages (TTA) fan site for Age of Empires. The same is true for my fan site for RollerCoaster Tycoon, RCT […]

Last night Ogre and I decided to try and play Age of Empires again. He tried to get Railwolf, but he wasn’t reachable at that time, probably because he’s sick. Without Rail to serve as host, Ogre offered to host, which is fine by me. Unfortunately, Ogre couldn’t figure out the port forwarding for the […]

It wasn’t but a few minutes after I made the previous entry that Ogre came on AIM and said he and Rail were ready for a game. Well, I agreed since I was just researching, nothing too important at that time of night. In the first game, I attacked Railwolf a few times early on, […]

The other day I mentioned I ordered some games from Amazon. I was eagerly awaiting them, much like any other package. For some reason it’s always nice to receive a package, even if you bought it for yourself. Anyway, the only game I opened was the big Age of Empires collection. Much to my disappointment, […]

Just under a year ago I installed the original RollerCoaster Tycoon on my PC. I hadn’t had it installed since I closed down RCT Station a few years ago. When you go a long time without playing a favorite game, it’s only natural to go back to it at some point. Well, since I can’t […]

VGCharts has an article up which points out the fact that despite Sony shipping four million PlayStation 3’s, only 1.8 million have been sold. This doesn’t surprise me one bit. For several weeks, multiple reports of retailers such as EBGames and GameStop have been practically begging customers to buy PS3s. Many customers have found a […]

When it comes to new consoles, I’m usually the last guy to get one. I didn’t get the PS2, for instance, until it was out for a few years. Today, my new Xbox 360 was delivered. I ordered it on the 19th and it got here this morning… pretty speedy shipping for UPS. Naturally, I […]
