I feel the exact same way the angry German kid feels. I bought the Orange Box about 3 weeks ago (and today TF2 goes free to play) mostly because I wanted to play TF2.Everytime I launch the game, it takes around 30 mins to download a ton of updates. So the boot up time is [...]

Why the Wii U doesn’t give me a hardon
Posted in dev, game dev, games, opinions, Tech, tagged boring, Nintendo, Wii U on 2011-06-13 | Leave a Comment »
Nintendo released a new console @ E3 named the Wii U. I looked @ the online video which was more about people acting up in a white room than games that looked fun. Iwata apparently said that they should have done a better job at presenting the console than they did. I think that they [...]
Playbook Air Application cockups
Posted in dev, games, Hobbies, Tech on 2010-11-19 | 2 Comments »
Well hello world. That’s all I was trying for a moment. It ended up being quite a long process. I got interested in the Blackberry Playbook apps around 2 weeks ago and since then I’ve had one headache after the other. Fear not since my definition of an expert is someone who’s committed all the [...]
Quake wars

Whenever I played Quake wars I used to observe this weird slow down. Then if I start QW without rebooting the computer, it was impossible to play the game. So I finally joined #quakewars on IRC and posted the question. The slowdown is related to NV drivers try to accelerate both the displays. You can [...]

EA’s inexistent but pathetic support
Posted in games, rants on 2007-04-3 | 4 Comments »
So they made Battlefield 2. No single player only multiplayer. Also if you do not have an internet connection, too bad you’ve just been fked. Just to launch the menu screen one has to login to EA servers. I’ve always been irritated by this “feature” of theirs. Today it got worse. I cannot even play [...]
9Dragons – nice game
Posted in games on 2007-01-15 | Leave a Comment »
So… even I joined the bandwagon of MMORPGs. http://9dragons.acclaim.com/ I shunned Secondlife – too crowded and not my style. I thought about WoW, but then I heard of Blizzard musceling some guy trying to sell his “guide to WoW”. That was not the primary reason I did not like WoW though. When I looked @ [...]
Wii

I think PS3 and Xbox 360 to a lesser extent, have more things to worry about than just pricing of their console. The very fact that Wii will come out @ a price much lower than theirs is enough danger. However since these consoles are too "powerful" and have quite a sizeable disc capacity, developers [...]
Blizzard is going too far
Posted in games, opinions, rants on 2006-03-29 | Leave a Comment »
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6146692.html This is the most outrageous things that Blizzard did till date. Its simple they want more money. In short, they have taken down a guy's eBay account because he was selling World of Warcraft user guides on eBay citing DMCA of all the things. Their reason – copyright infringement. That is stupid. Is this [...]
NDS @last

Ok so I bought Nintendo DS (second hand) + 6 NDS games + 2 GBA games + extra battery pack for uber cheap 100 USD. Well that is not so fascinating for me now. What is? Its the person who sold me the NDS. His name is Angeles a Mexican -American. He is a sanyasi [...]
