Year: 2009

  • Mechwarrior!!!

    Read the interviews, check the trailers held within, and rejoice. One of the founders of FASA, Jordan Weisman, acquired the license back for the Battletech universe, and is creating a new game! This was one of my favories series, and as I’ve mentioned, one of the games that caused me to want to try PC…

  • Camping Adventures: Lost Tires, Rainstorms and Lots of Children, Part 2

    So, when we left off, there was a decision to make. We had only made it maybe 40 miles or so from home, and the weekend was more than half over. But Thomas desperately wanted to see his cousins, so off we went. Things still weren’t any better, as the rains turned into a downpour,…

  • Camping Adventures: Lost Tires, Rainstorms and Lots of Children, Part 1

    If you’re a longtime reader of mine (either here or in the forums, for those select few), you probably already know that I don’t like camping. I am not what you call an outdoorsy guy…if you’ve seen the episode of Monk where he exclaims “There’s NATURE on me!”, I’m not too far off from that.…

  • Thomas and Mattie Pictures

    rabbit hole movie in hd Thomas and Mattie with their cousin Shani. Aren’t they the cutest? :D

  • Happy Birthday Townsend Coleman

    Happy Birthday to Townsend Coleman, voice actor extraordinaire. People of my vintage may not know his name, but we know his work. Most famously, he was the voice of the Ninja Turtle Michaelangelo…and my favorite, The Tick. (to keep this sports related, he voiced Wayne Gretzky on ProStars) His voice acting profile is here, and…

  • Show Your Desktop

    Click the thumbnail for the full effect – I use Rainmeter for customizations, and the background comes from Orioto’s ‘Videogame Remakes’ gallery at deviantART. The skins used for Rainmeter are Urban, Enigma and HUD.Vision (for the weather and picture viewer). H/T to Lifehacker that got me started with Rainmeter. I know Ryan has evicted Big…

  • Movie Review: Star Trek (2009)

    I am writing this, in the interest of full disclosure, as a Trekkie who kind of fell away from Star Trek towards the end of Voyager, and missed pretty much all of Enterprise. Seems pretty common, actually, from the guys I went to see the movie with. Word of caution: Here there may be spoilers…

  • Nerdiest Wedding? YOU DECIDE

    Gizmodo has the scoop on what could be the nerdiest wedding in the history of weddings. It is Star Wars themed, down to the Death Star disco ball, Stormtrooper bustier and the tables named for SW universe locations. [poll id=”14″]

  • Five Things

    With apologies/thanks to Kate at the Willful Caboose: Shut up, Favre. NOW I have an obsessive desire to click spam links before I delete them, even though I know that would just feed into the spammer’s ego. Being a real user of Facebook/Twitter instead of an idle one really helps make the connections. Good job,…

  • Product Review: Mountain Dew Throwback

    As you may have heard, Pepsi has release Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback, versions of the drinks that make use of natural sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup. You can most likely find ’em now at your local mega-mart (/Alton Brown’d), and I just picked up the Dew Throwback up in our cafeteria…

  • Star Wars/MacGyver

    cameron I should be working on deep, well-researched posts for the Sabres early offseason, but I’m just getting cracked up over and over by this:

  • Everything Old Is New Again

    Here’s a head-scratch inducing addition to your desktop PC setup – an old VHS tape modded to act as a USB flash drive, complete with LED light and spinning reels. I don’t have the skills for this, but if I pass this along to the right person (MacGyver-esque dude in front of me) I can…
