The more observant of you may have noticed that a little demo for a little game by the little name of Bioshock was released Sunday evening. Some people are excited for Halo 3 (about 1 million last time I checked), but then there is me, who although will play the game, is far more excited [...]

Alright, so there is a noose for this post’s picture. It must have been a bad experience right? No, actually. I was just in a noose mood today, and it’s presence on this page has nothing to do with my experience with Apple’s support. The reason for the call to support was twofold. One was [...]

I have a couple friends with me at work seeing just what we can do with the new logo, and the image for this article is the progress thus far. In the final product, the heart will be the normal black and white as shown in the original preview, and from there we will be [...]

Today I was driving to the game store where I was ensuring that everything was safe and sound in regard to my Bioshock pre order (Yes, this does come out in under 2 weeks). While on my way, I found 2 things which I really never want to see again.

You might be wondering why I took the time to write this, after all, my Vista machine tells me when there are updates available, right? Wrong. For whatever reason, these updates have yet to be included in an auto update. Well then you just might assume that these are not overly important updates. Wrong again. [...]

I don’t have MySpace or Facebook.

Why? I don’t know. Perhaps I am afraid that a child predator will find me and coax me into ‘meeting’ them in real life, or maybe I just don’t have enough friends to warrant such a thing. Both are likely considering I am unpopular and paranoid. From what I understand, both of these person to [...]

This movie rocked my poor socks right off. I had to go by several new pairs after viewing this excellent film. I have always found the idea of serial killers fascinating. What makes them do what they do, and what leads them to leave patterns which always eventually links each of their murders to their [...]

Just over a week ago, I was having the experience of a lifetime; seeing none other than Marilyn Manson live in Tampa, the place, as fans all know is where his career really began. Prior to his performance, I and my accomplice to the show had to endure sets from both Bleeding Through and Slayer. [...]
