Grand Theft Auto 4 Impressions
Ok, this is a mini-mini-review of GTA4 for the folks that haven’t played it yet: 5min Impressions: This is totally GTA3/VC/SA + more complex city, better graphics (not amazing). Controls and movement feel sluggish, I think it has to do with the animation blending Performance is on par with other GTAs… 20-30fps range, not smooth as butter, but so [...]

30. April 2008
Have you ever found yourself juggling so many extra windows at work (or at home) on your desktop that you wished you have access to multiple desktops so you could group them together and not clutter one desktop with everything? Yea, me too… Linux has had the idea of “multiple desktops” or “virtual desktops” for a [...]

24. April 2008
OMGZ, ok if you watched the episode of Lost last night and haven’t read the Time Loop Theory yet, then you really need to in order to make sense of it, and honestly, I think enjoy the show a little more since you won’t be so goddamn confused. That was an awesome episode last night… I [...]

23. April 2008
Damn… so Kotaku has the scoop that iCON (a ripping group) has gotten their hands on a stolen GTA4 game disk for the Xbox 360, ripped it and leak it onto the net. Apparently folks were posting gameplay movies to GameTrailers and YouTube this morning, I found a few, but they are getting ripped down by [...]

21. April 2008
I totally took this picture this weekend using a Canon G9… I’m probably the best photographer that ever lived: This was during a hike up at Sanctuary Cove… the desert can really be beautiful if you learn to look for the little things in it. I could have done without all the bugs, but everything was [...]

17. April 2008
Uh-oh, Spaghettio’s! Looks like Sun is going to start closing up some of the open source portions of MySQL, namely the more advanced functionality and the backup solutions that are currently open sourced. Can you blame them? They paid a goddamn billion for MySQL, it’s not too surprising that they want to create some value-add [...]

16. April 2008
Niiiice, it looks like even though 2.30 firmware for the PS3 just dropped, adding a new PSN Store interface as well as adding DTS-HD support to the PS3, work on the next set of firmware upgrades is hot underway. Sony promises not only in-game XMB but also a new video download service that will be “unlike [...]
Continue reading...Tokyo Gore Police Trailer… or something
16. April 2008
Saw this over on I Watch Stuff, it’s the “trailer” for Tokyo Gore Police, which is a ridiculously over the top 80/90s-style cheesy Japanese gore-fest… sort of like Riki-Oh, if you ever saw that or to a lesser extend the original Toxic Avenger from Troma. So if you like movies like that cause you are curious [...]

16. April 2008
It seems that DreamWorks has snagged the rights to the Ghost in the Shell movie… one of the best animes out there. They described the movie as a 3D (yay!) live-action (booo!) hybrid and said that GITS provided the perfect story to be delivered on that platform. Having just watched Appleseed: Ex Machina, and thinking it was [...]

16. April 2008
In the recent past it seems that Comcast has become the favorite ISP to hate with their constant manipulation of your traffic, illegal traffic tampering (OOPS, wait, nothing is illegal under Bush admin if done by a big enough corporation, full pardons all around!) and a general all around level of shit service… but it [...]

16. April 2008
Well it happened… a few months ago it was rumored that Seagate held some IP that was essentially infringed upon by all existing solid state drive (SSD) designs. There were rumors that Seagate would pull that card just as the market was exploding in order to either kill off competition in the space or seriously [...]

15. April 2008
Grant Gochnauer send in this badass piece of news… it looks like Monster Cable company, the world champions of bullshit-priced cabling (that have no real-world performance edge), served Blue Jeans Cable with a cease-and-desist motion targeted at their Tartan line of cables (something having to do with the connectors being “confusingly similar” to what Monster [...]
Continue reading...GameSpot Video Reviews Suck
13. April 2008
If you are familiar with the drama that unfolded around GameSpot 6 months or so ago, then you know that there was a mass-exodus of their senior talent that all left in response. Since then the site has been scrambling to keep operations going, reviews churning, etc. For the most part I’ve always liked watching the [...]
