Zunetastic
So I just got a 30GB Brown Zune about a week ago and been fooling around with this bad boy all week. All I can say is "Wow". This thing is amazing. First, it syncs with everything automatically. All my music, video, playlists, pictures, and more are automatically put right onto the Zune’s HD – my entire media library was ready to go in like 20 minutes. I spent maybe another 20-30 minutes going through and "Hearting" songs I liked, creating a custom playlist, and a "Smart" playlist (which sorts songs using a variety of filters). Very intuitive. The...
Read MoreMass Effect Review
I bought Mass Effect about two weeks ago, and just blew through it. I’ve played previous BioWare RPGs, but Mass Effect really blew me away. Jade Empire was a bit hit and miss, and many people were afraid a non-KOTOR RPG wouldn’t be worth playing. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case at all. The game is frantic and fun to play, and it really brings BioWare fully into the next generation of console games. An AAA title that lives up to its expectations? Could it be? Read the review on my site, or you can use the no frills Google Docs to view a pure text version. Note that I break...

Read MoreEnemy Territory: Quake Wars Review
This is my first review I’ve written exclusively for this blog! I’ve been playing Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (ETQW) for a couple months now in the Beta and the Demo. Now, I’ve played the full retail game for about 10 hours, and I’ve played through all the maps and have some fairly extensive insight into the game. Here’s my thoughts! Also, be sure to check out the ETQW Gallery! Note that I break it up into three major parts. Gameplay tries to break down the game, combining facts and thoughts into one. Opinion is less fact, more thoughts about the game. This is...
Read MoreTroubleshooting CPU Overheating
I’ve got a problem with my CPU Overheating. Right now it’s idling around 50-60C, which is about 10-20C cooler than it was idling at before (more on that later). It goes up to 70-80C when in heavy use, again anywhere between 10C-30C cooler. I’ve just installed a new heatsink and thermal paste (links to NewEgg, where I got them) into the system, and it’s cooled it a bit. Like 10-30C cooled, but this also could be attributed to it being freezing inside (and inside), so I don’t know how well it’ll do when it’s warmer out. Problem is, that is still too...
