I do play the occasional video game and I will let you know about the ones I play and/or want to play.

2010 Tech Predictions

It was fun doing this last year. So I thought I would have another go at it and see what I come up with. Computers: 1. Netbooks/sub-12″ laptops will be even bigger than before because they will finally be useful. Atom/ULV processors, Ion/Tegra graphics, and touch enabled devices will make having a 17″ laptop a

2009 Predictions Follow-up

I thought I would follow up on my predictions for last year and see how I did. Computers: 1. Multitouch – While this didn’t make as big of a push as I hoped, hardware development is very slow in a recession, there have been announcements of hardware coming out in 2010 that defiantly take advantage

PS3 Repair Log

I had to send my PS3 in for repair due to an error I was getting when trying to read disks (Blu-ray movies and games). I wanted to post my experience to help anyone in the future that needs to send in their PS3 for repair too. First up was getting to the point of

How-to format a disk to FAT32

When backing up my PS3 for repair I needed to plug in a external hard drive to back up the system. My PS3 is only 40 GB but even that is larger than any USB flash drive I have so I needed to pull out one of my USB hard drives for the backup. I

MediaSmart server advanced Twonky settings

Excel Board Games

A few weeks ago I thought to myself. “Hey self, wouldn’t it be awesome if you could program Monopoly into a Excel spreadsheet?” I let the thought echo for about 2 weeks before I actually wrote anything down and started figuring out how I could make this a reality. But then I had an even

My 2009 predictions

I have never done this before but I thought I would take a swing and making some predictions at what I think is going to happen this year with technology. Computers: 1. Smaller, faster, better. Duh. That is obvious but I think there will be some big improvements in “alternate” input for computers. Apple is

Happy Halloween

I had the chance to carve another pumpkin this year and of course it had to be nerdy in some respect. Well, with LittleBIGPlanet out this week I thought it was pretty obvious what I should do. Let me know what you think.

Motorstorm

Funny thing about Motorstorm… It doesn’t seem to care that you have been cheating on it with Rock Band. It will still pound your ass to the dirt the next time you pick up the controller to start up where you left off. On a side note, what do you think of the new theme?
