Well it’s been an interesting day. Going through the Charter Escalation Team has proven promising. The local Charter supervisor contacted me and assured me the problem has likely been taken care of. My cable has been good for the last half and hour so we’ll see how it goes. The promising piece of news is […]

I really didn’t expect there to be a second edition to my Charter to the Rescue? post, but things haven’t been going well with my cable. The problem with my cable signal has deteriorated even further. It’s down almost all day now. It used to be for a few hours. Now it’s down for at […]

There’s been a big adjustment to all of the changes Gaijin Entertainment has implemented in the game lately. I’ve been critical of some of them. Thankfully, they have since undone some of the changes they have made with the patches. I’m grateful for some of the changes even though they haven’t fixed everything in my […]

I’ve had quite a time lately with my cable company, Charter Communications. I’ve been battling signal problems for a few months. In February, I finally broke down and called them. They sent out a technician on February 26th to replace the line that comes from the telephone pole to the house. When he left, the […]

After going off on that recent patch the other day, I figured I’d give an update on the gameplay. I was very critical of the changes they made. The flight models and controls were changed quite extensively, as was bombing. I’ve had a little more time to play War Thunder and I have to say […]

Where’s that spring weather the meteorologists claimed to be on the way? A week ago they claimed 40+ degree temps were coming. For the last three or four days, the wind has been howling at a constant 20mph, with temps rarely approaching the freezing mark. Overnight it was just eight degrees. I can handle the […]

I’ve been pretty supportive of War Thunder in my recent posts. It’s been a LOT of fun, but I’m afraid they made some major mistakes with their large v1.29.27.0 patch. Their attempts at making bombing more realistic, forcing you into “realistic” bombing approaches totally ruined bombing for me. If your approach isn’t nearly perfect, the […]

I’ve had a blast playing War Thunder over the past few weeks. The game definitely has its frustrating moments, mostly mid-air collisions (accidental and intentional) and occasional server issues, but by and large, it’s been a lot of fun. Controlling your airplane is an interesting challenge because of the Gs at play. When you’re in […]

There aren’t very many services that I use religiously, but Google Reader has been one of them and Google has announced they will be killing off the program later this year. I was absolutely shocked by this news. I really didn’t expect Google to kill it anytime soon. I remember it took me a long […]

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’re aware that Electronic Arts has come out with another Sim City game. Unlike its predecessors, the latest Sim City is entirely online. You need an always-on Internet connection to install/authorize the game and to play it. I understand why Electronic Arts would want to use an online […]
