Is this why less women play video games?

I play video games, therefore I must be a pubescent boy who only cares about curves. At least that’s the first blush upon opening up Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 for xbox 360…

When Hell Freezes Over

My tree hugging, anti video gaming wife surprised me today. When she came home and found I had brought work home, something luckily I rarely have to do these days, she fired up the 360, logged into the profile we set up for her last night when we were racing in Forza Motorsport 2 (another [...]

Use Server 2003 to get files to your Xbox 360

EDIT: It seems I should have read all the comments. Apparently 2k3 lacks two services that won’t allow it to share media using wmp11. I set up sharing using my desktop to test if it was worth it, seems I see a tiny fraction of my media, it looks like only stuff in Microsoft format. [...]

We’ve been thinking about signing up for Blockbuster Videos online anyway, so I’ve decided to give it a try. I doubt I could have convince Amanda of the Gamefly option. . [...]

I’m not a consumer whore, I’m a pusher.

Help me help you get great deals! I’ve just started out selling things on eBay. I’m so way behind on the curve here. So far it’s been a good process. We’ll see. For now, I’ve got 3 brand new items for coolpix cameras up for auction. Take a look if you like.
Why am I pushing [...]

XBMC (Xbox Media Center) and then some.

This weekend, could very well be determined as a good geek weekend. A good college buddy came to visit and we started the fun with a trip to Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth where we had lunch and then took a tour of the brewing facility. When we returned safely from testing about two pints of [...]
