World in Conflict is really cool.. if it didn’t crash all the god damned time!!!
16 October 2007I recently purchased World in Conflict hoping that it would live up to the 9.3 rating that IGN gave it in the review. I recently had to go back and re-read the review hoping there was some nugget of information in there that would perhaps shed some light on how to run this game for [...]
The Death of PC Gaming and Why I returned BioShock to BestBuy.
27 August 2007One of the most hyped games to come out recently is BioShock.

Firefox Bloated? Hardly.
18 May 2007Recently Wired ran an article where they argued the opinion that Firefox has become 'bloated' since it's inception.
What really bothered me about this article is that it didn't take into account that software development is a process of evolution. Without newer features and function, there would be no use for a version numbering system. You [...]
