Yes, so it’s been neglected of late - I apologize. So, what’s going on?
In videogames:
Well, first of - Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines running under Vista, with proper widescreen…FINALLY! What a pain in the neck that was. And, since I lost my savegame that was 2/3 of the way through the game - I’m playing it [...]
Is nothing sacred anymore? Why did the History channel feel the need to get so damned political??? Is there no escape from this madness? I mean, that’s what you’re supposed to be able to watch while there’s nothing on without it being actually involving, basically as background noise. This is absurd!

Under the category of: How Stupid Can You Get, Grand Theft Auto 4 is making headlines. Why? For the same reason all the other games in the series have. I’ll give you guys a hint, you tried it three times already - it didn’t work. Why? No one cares. First amendment and stuff, you know [...]

It’s not like I’m watching TV, listening to music and writing a paper at the same time. Nope, I’d never be doing anything like that.
Update: Two-line titles look awful in this theme. I’ll have to remember to avoid that in the future.
The Tin Man, as in Sci-Fi’s three part miniseries, the last of which was on last night. Advertised as a modern ‘re-imagining’ of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the end result was actually would up being completely different, just with an excess of Oz influence. Unnecessary Oz influence, the producers tried way too hard to [...]
I missed the first 10 minutes of Heroes because I was re-wiring my TV to get the DVD player to work properly, since it objected to being hooked up through the VCR.
