Do those cooling bases I've seen help at all? There are several different brands that make them, so when I see something like that I start to wonder if it's more than just a gimmick. Thanks!

iPods are a freak of nature... a very slick marketing campaign coupled with thie weird, elitist vision of the "cool" versus the "not so cool". They'd be dead in the water without the multi-million dollar ad campaign - yet another case of style over substance. Anyone that does even a spec of...

This thread wins my first-ever "Freakiest Thread I WIshed I'd Never Read" award. Congrats! :cookiemon

The 360 only has HD-DVD with the add-on USB device, right? I disagree with the assertion that everything will be online soon, though - the mainstream wants their stuff on DISC... It's "real" to them in a way that a file on a hard drive never will be. This is probably for the best - I...

I have the best wife ever... Now all I need to do is pull myself away from Dead Rising long enough to sleep... Can't sleep... zombies will get me. :cookiemon

Well, after you get past the completely broken control layout (seriously... the devs ported the control scheme direct from the 360 *without even bothering to translate the tutorial text into PC controls*) it's fine... I'm going to give it a few more sesssions before I make a final decision, though.

I'm working on Star Trek: Legacy and Warhammer 40,000: Mark of Chaos for reviews ATM... Guild Wars Nightfall is still getting some play time on my PC, as is PREY.

Jordan's got a terminal illness, actually, so I can forgive him... last I heard he was scrambling to get as much done on the Wheel of Time series as he can before, well... Martin, though... he's just making us all suffer. His next Game of Thrones book was due like TWO YEARS AGO I...

LOL... good point. What was I THINKING? :cookiemon

Huh? Is that one of those "I have this great idea - if you write it for me we can slpit the profits!" kind of deals? :cookiemon

The Editor likes "Blood Magic Book One: The Ballad of Kirin Widowmaker", but I'm told that might change over time. Personaly, *I'm* all for ANY title that implies a sequel. :cookiemon

Good news (for me, anyway). :cookiemon Some of you may know that besides the occasional venom-filled editorial or sarcasm-laced review, I also write novels. For the past four years or so, I've been working on a manuscript for a trilogy of Urban Fantasy stories set in present-day Chicago...

Agree - budget will be the deciding factor. If you plan to game, get as much RAM as possible (at least 2GB, 4 if you can swing the cost), a good video card and the fastest processor you can afford. Remember that DUAL CORE CPUs don't necessarily make games run faster, but they DO allow...

Yep, those are all mine - thanks for saying so.

A full review will be up shortly, folks! It's totally my bad - been out of town due to the old "sick, dying relative" sob story. Appologies to Nick...

They were beging me to review it at E3 this year... I was like "Ummm, are you SURE you want me to do that, bro?" I think I scared him... :cookiemon

Thanks... Recent pics: Happy halloween! Leaves in the fall: Grill lighting installed... PS... "real" men don't need large speakers or cars to prove manhood. But hey, whatever makes ya feel bettter about your shortcomings, I always say... :cookiemon

1. Copy the following line (highlight it and hit "ctrl+c": javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'...

Baller? Is that some sort of weird slang for "fast"? Anyone can build a car that goes fast off the line. The real skill is building a car that can launch fast AND that can get around the corners with grace and speed, and this little beast can do both very well. Ask the "baller" guys at...

Blow me, BobRossMan! That WAS my homework! :cookiemon.
