Ah hell, I've been meaning to get a good value card to upgrade for a while now. Might as well.

G-Nome, the 1997 hybrid mech sim by 7th Level. It's a respectable mech sim, but with so many other things that elevate it above "coaster of the year" status (which apparently is what it was called by some publications). The story and voice acting is great, and the ability to get out of your mech and …

I'm one of the people who tends to think that id Software make great engines rather than great games. Doom 1 and 2 are fantastic games, admittedly, and I like Quake 3, but to me Unreal Tournament did so much more than Q3, and did it better, that Q3 was very much inferior to UT. Anyway, Doom 1, Doom …

HeliCops. Bad CGI, and a bad "window" layout that makes it look like a budget re-release of a B-grade game. Way to make the concept of Cops in Helicopters look boring.

Back when PC Gamer was at least somewhat reputable, DX rated number 1 on their top 100 games of all time list. Nowadays they apparently think it's Half-Life 2, and Skyrim made it in the top five. But don't let that dissuade you, they did know what they were talking about at one point.

Re: Dumb things you've done (or have seen someone else do) on a computer

I remembered a silly happening. I was replacing a user's computer, and they told me I didn't need to back up their files because they'd already moved them to their network drive. The swap went fine, their laptop was almost immediately reimaged to be given to somebody else. A week goes by, and they …

I work in IT, so if it's been done to a computer, I've seen it done. 😀 Buuuut one time when I was a kid I put some SDRAM in backwards (don't ask. DON'T) and fried it. And the board.

I'm starting to think that my nostalgia bug might be a symptom of some horrible deep-seated dissatisfaction and depression issues. You too? Perhaps I've gotten my fill of retro-computing, I don't know. What frustrates me about IT is none of this knowledge is additive and I essentially have to re- …

I love it. The Elder Scrolls pack includes Battlespire and Redguard. Bethesda's so-called "Elder Scrolls Anthology" doesn't. GoG wins again, fuck tha po-leece!

And as I said before, if lack of financial support leads to an empty and barren Internet then so be it; when (and if) that time comes I'll just pull the plug and find something else to do. That's my end-game. Enjoy the internet while it's around, and once it crashes and burns in Y2K-2 I go back to …
