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 […]
The TV is complete!!
November 30th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Personal
Forgive me, but I’m still totally geeking out over my new HDTV, especially since it’s now finally completely setup the way I always imagined it. Details follow! The only real problem that arose was the fact that the TV only has optical out for audio, which isn’t something I considered when purchasing the set, I […]
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 […]
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 […]
Flight Log – KBLM to KWWD
October 3rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Gaming
It was cloudy, dreary and rainy outside today, but the best thing about a flight simulator is that you can choose to ignore the real weather if you want to. Certainly you can set FSX to pull down and then update current meteorological conditions, but then who wants to fly in rainy weather when they […]
New Controversial Game? The C Word
August 14th, 2008 · No Comments · Gaming
Warning! NSFW! Warning! NSFW! Okay, now that I have your attention – I got home earlier tonight to an IM left for me by my buddy Edmund McMillen (Gish, Tri-achnid) about the new game he worked on with Florian Himsl (his partner on Tri-achnid). Let’s just say this is one of those games that is […]

A look at Multiwinia
July 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · Gaming
So the good folks over at Introversion sent me a preview build of their latest title, a multiplayer take on their original hit Darwinia, with enhancements added as well of course. Having never played Darwinia before (yes, I am shamed) I was abel to approach this with a fresh set of eyes and get my […]

The cheap cash cow that is GH III PC
July 13th, 2008 · No Comments · Gaming
It’s not often that I get fed up with a game based on its technical qualities. Usually if I end up hating a game it’s simply because it’s not fun to play at all. Guitar Hero is fun to play. What’s not fun is trying to connect online to another player through the most assinine […]
