I’m wasting time with these videos today, more so than usual. This is the video that convinced me to buy Team Fortress 2.
Games
Quake Live Beta works now
They’ve solved the queue problem and I’ve just logged onto Quake Live beta. I had zero wait time. The game play was good.
New life for old games
Quake Live beta is a nice idea. It’s the old Quake III Arena family of games but via a web browser. This version rates you and attempts to pair you up with people with similar skill levels. It’s also popular: wait times to login are around 30 minutes! I like the idea but I re-purchased [...]
Don't walk around in the dark at home
I’m playing more FEAR2. It’s a creepy, but really fun game. After playing it for a while, walking around the house in the dark is freaking me out. My character just escaped from the not-hospital and the streets are filled with bad guys and remenants of dead people. It’s a good game but the original [...]
FEAR2 and STEAM are the best
Look Ma, no DVD! I just activated FEAR2 on Valve’s STEAM and I’m downloading and installing off of the Internet right now. That’s very cool.
Games for Windows?
The moniker “Games for Windows” always makes me laugh. When I first started playing FPS like Castle Wolfenstien and the original DOOM series it was on a 386SX PC my brother had. Windows was not even on that PC and Windows was just a shell for running DOS apps. Games for Windows? What was that, [...]
High score on Bejeweled 2
I just got a 152,152 point high score on Bejeweled 2 classic mode on my iPhone. There’s something disturbing about my playing a game on my phone that long…
Far Cry 2 problems
I am really getting the full value from my new EVGA GTX-260 card. The card works flawlessly. It came with Far Cry 2 and as FPSs goes, this game is top notch. The graphics are excellent, the game play is fast and responsive, the missions and action is just right. This game is just how [...]
EVGA GTX-260 and Far Cry 2
One of the items I got for Christmas was an EVGA GTX-260 with 896 MB of DDR3 RAM. This is an upgrade from a pair for GeForce 7900 in SLI mode. The game comes with Far Cry 2 which works really well since I was going to buy it anyway. The game runs really well [...]
Dead Xbox 360 MTU issue
For months my Xbox 360 has been complaining about the MTU being too small on my Internet gateway. This meant no updates and Xbox Live stopped working. I’ve been busy so I did not give it much thought. My brother Alek bought a new one for his apartment and hooked it up at my house. [...]
