    Halo vs Call Of Duty

    I would prefer the Halo storyline any day, but when it comes to playing multiplayer, COD4 barely beats Halo 3 on my list just because there's more weapon variety. And because Halo 3 isn't out for PC yet..

    I'd normally have a babe wallpaper but seeing as how I'm back home for the holidays I've gotta keep it PG I consider this theme much more minimalist than the default XP themes (yes, this machine is XP)

    Sony slashing 16,000 jobs

    After all their screw ups, Sony deserves it. It's the workers that don't.

    Spore: The most pirated game ever

    Well SecuROM doesn't just prevent copying but other legit functions as well.. imagine being unable to mount ISO's with Daemon Tools (and I do that quite frequently)

    Spore: The most pirated game ever

    Yeah I've essentially boycotted all EA games from this point on. I want my PC SecuROM rootkit free. Because of SecuROM I'm not playing releases like Crysis Warhead, Far Cry 2, and Left 4 Dead (unless I get it via Steam)

    Government Cuts - A Systemwide Reality

    I noticed how wasteful it is that garbage trucks must stop and go between each house to grab a trashcan. Imagine the inefficiency! If two neighbors took out their trashcans and put them next to each other, that is one less stop the garbage truck has to do. If every two neighbors paired their...

    Christmas list

    Hmmm. I'm pretty satisfied with my machine hardware wise, but I would like a 1 TB external so I could sell my 320 and 160 GB externals Oh and I guess COD5 wouldn't be too bad despite its copy paste similarities to COD4

    Who do you blame?

    I would also like to add that the US warned the Indian government about this impending attack.. it goes to show that the Indian military/police forces were not prepared

    If a nuclear World War III were to break out tommorow, what would you do?

    I live in an apartment complex made of concrete and reinforced steel. I can't even get cell phone reception in here.. this place IS a bomb shelter haha But regardless I don't think this will happen anytime soon (at least I hope not)

    Black Mesa Source Trailer (Half-Life 1 remake mod with Source Engine)

    Very impressive. The shooting graphics/recoil are reminiscent of Crysis (possibly just a combination of video FX and actual gameplay) Hope it turns out good!

    Who do you blame?

    Well hey we gave the Afghans weapons to fight the Russians way back when they invaded Afghanistan, and now they're using those weapons against us. History repeats itself, that's all I can say.

    The Ctrl+V game

    Heh seriously, nothing. I just turned on my computer.

    About PortableApps

    When it comes to writing over time, you should be more worried about flash drives since they have limited write cycles. I've got a 2 gig hard drive from 1994 and it's still going (WD)

    Computer case

    That case doesn't have enough lights already? IMO don't waste your money on lighting.. it bothers you when you sleep. I suggest saving that money for something else
