A Rift inside me

Posted: August 20, 2011 in Computers, RPG

At Gen Con they handed out free copies of Rift.  You also got a month free subscription with the game.  I decided to give it a try.  First impression: the gameplay is almost identical to WOW.  I finally got my third soul last night and teleported to the past last night.  Haven’t played too much [...]

A new monitor

Posted: March 16, 2011 in Computers

I purchased a new monitor last night(quick side not best buy has 20″ HP monitors for a 100 bucks).   After using my monitor for 15 minutes I came to a question.  How did we survive without widescreen computer monitors.  Suddenly my desktop looked new.  Eye strain went away and I could see more of [...]

A little over year and half ago my wife talked me into playing WOW with her.  I of course liked it.  My friends caught wind of this and suggested we do a weekly game together.  Which was great until we stopped doing it a month later.  When I first started playing Aeromir suggested we play [...]

New Computer

Back in 2003 I decided I was going to get a bigger hard drive for my mom’s computer.  I had got an older computer for her a year or two before.  It wasn’t anything great but it ran Win 98 okay and got on the internet.  The hard drive however was small.  I decided she [...]

E-book Readers

Posted: November 6, 2009 in Books, Computers

So Barnes and Noble last week announced the nook.  At first I really didn’t care.  Most of the ebook readers coming out only read their proprietary books.  But I was reading through the nooks specs and come to find out it can read pdfs.  Which is awesome that has been one of main drawback to [...]

New Technology for your Game Room

Posted: October 23, 2009 in Computers, RPG

So a few months ago I decided I was going to make a game room.  Having a dedicated room for RPG’s sounded great.  I started to do research and see what everybody else was doing.  I eventually stocked my room and we have been gaming in it since June I love although I wish it [...]

So over the past couple of years I have let technology pass me by.  Well I decided it is time I start getting back into technology and see what is coming out and all the new trends.  So I am reading a blog that mentions a new app for your iPhone.  Let me tell you [...]
