It’s been quite a while since I’ve logged any time flying. Mainly because I’ve been playing other games, also because after upgrading from XP to W7 late last year I never got around to fully getting FSX set back up and running. But now everything is back in working order again, finally – so I […]

Micro-blogging Sims3 Experiment
May 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming
So when I decided to get back into The Sims 3, I wondered how I would go about chronicling the life of my Sim and his future descendants. The Sims is the kind of game where you put a lot of work and effort into developing your various Sim avatars, and build an actual unique […]
I thought I had planned for everything…
January 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming
in 1999, I got Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six (N64) for Christmas. I had played it on the PC – or at least tried to being that back then my gaming rig was actually the family PC and wasn’t really built for gaming much at all. So through the choppy frame rates I got an idea […]

Easy money in Dragon Age: Origins
January 10th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Gaming
There’s a way to get as much money as you need in Dragon Age: Origins, through a gameplay glitch and not a cheat – which means you can do it on consoles as well as PC (note that this has only been tested on a console). You also need to have The Stone Prisoner DLC […]

City Journal: Fozburg (1900 – 1930)
November 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Gaming
Fozburg is a large city founded in 1900, with a starting treasury of §50,000. It’s situated on a peninsula, with ocean surrounding the lower left and lower right sides of the map and a large central lake that is the sunken caldera of an extinct, extremely ancient volcano. This is my first large city map […]

Flight Log – 4N1 to KBLM
October 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Gaming
Today’s flight was completing the loop I started two weeks ago when I took off from KBLM and traveled south down the New Jersey coast to Cape May for an arrival at KWWD. Now that I’m way up in north Jersey right by the New York border, I needed to get back to KBLM but […]
Uncharted 2 Review
October 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Gaming
Here’s my quick take on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Overall, the game delivers just as much if not more than the original Uncharted. It also does well as a stand-alone title in the franchise – as they’ve said in many interviews, you really don’t need to have played Uncharted 1 to play Uncharted 2. However, […]

iSimCity
October 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Gaming
I’ve really enjoyed the iPhone version of SimCity, they did a great job of simplifying the gameplay for a much easier experience in building and managing your city. The touch controls are also well done, making placing buildings, roads, zones, etc. very easy to do without lots of cursing and bulldozing. Obviously there’s not a […]
Flight Log – KPHL to 4N1
October 10th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Gaming
This time out I hopped into a Mooney Bravo because I had a lot of ground to cover, and the Mooney cruises at 160 kts while the Cessna 172 cruises at only 100 kts. The flight plan called for a departure from KPHL (where I arrived yesterday), then I would follow the Delaware River Northeast […]
Flight Log – KWWD to KPHL
October 9th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Gaming
Another great flight this morning. The actual weather was, once again, not very preferable so although I used the real-world time for my flight, I simply set the weather to Fair just like last time so that I could enjoy the focus of this flight, which was the VFR scenery. Someday I’ll want to battle […]
