Cannot stop playing PS3!
Jan 1st
The PS3 is more fun then I have ever had playing a computer gaming, and more comfortable too..
I received the God of War collection for Christmas, and spent most of the day, taking Kratus around destroying everything in my path! I love it! I still love racing in Need for Speed: Shift too, and if anyone is interested in a race, i’d be happy to oblige.
I will go out on a limb in saying, this was the best purchase of 2009!
Huzzah!
PS3 in route for New Years delivery…
Dec 2nd
Well, I’m not so happy about the length of time its taking to get my 250GB PS3,(Destined to be delivered around the 4th of January.) but alas, we all make sacrifices for discounts.
I’ll still receive mine well before the release of MAG . This game looks epicly cool, and supports up to 250+ people online simultaneously.
Ohh, the bloody mayhem.. I can’t wait!
GI Joe Trailer
Jun 29th
New trailers out.
May 16th
So while I’m getting all worked up for Terminator Salvation, I just located 2 new trailers for movies I just cannot wait to see. GI JOE: Rise of Cobra and Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen both have new trailers out.
This summer is really gearing up to be freaking awesome in terms of movies.
Playing with Windows 7 RC1
May 11th
On May 5th, 2009, Microsoft made publicly available the first RC, build 7100, of Windows 7. This RC is available in 5 languages and will expire on June 1st, 2010, with bi-hourly shutdowns starting March 1st, 2010.
I downloaded the RC1 from the Windows 7 RC1 Download page. The only pre-reqs are a Windows Live account, which you can register for free. Be prepared for a large transfer; I started mine in the early evening, and let it run at night. (+2GB) I then ripped the .iso to DVD the following morning.
I chose a DELL Latitude D630 to conduct my testing on. I installed with no issues. The installer was very intuitive. Activation can occur immediately after the OS is loaded, or you can hold off, but only for 3 days.
First Impressions
- I really like the interface, it is streamlined and intuitive. I love the glass interface, the bars are semi-translucent and allow the below windows/wallpaper to show through.
- The Libraries is a very nice touch, and helps organize files in a more logical manner. (In Win XP your media files, pictures and music and such were located inside My Documents, now are organized in Libraries.)
- Wireless support is good, and easy to setup. The wizard had no problem locating my Wireless Access Point, and after authenticated, connected without issue.
- IE 8 responds well, and is a refreshing change from IE 6 and earlier.
- Seeming gone is the invasive UAC(User Access Control). I know its still there somewhere, but they have toned down the annoyingness of the previous version.
- Action Center is pretty cool. It allows you to review any/all recent issues your computer is experiencing. It allows you to review and correct any of them in one space.
- The clock now allows you to monitor more then 1 time zone.
