Age of Conan Final Impressions: Part 1

From when I first heard about Age of Conan (AoC), I really thought it had a lot of promise. As I started following it, I wasn’t truly sure what was going to separate it from all other MMORPGs. The mature element would surely draw some of the crowd that...

TrackMania Video

Yes, this is an old video. It’s at least two years old.  But it’s still really cool.  Enough that it made me want to check out the game based on this alone. The team that did this one, did other videos, but none were as awe inspiring as this.

Funimation’s Growing Library- Part 2

With Achievements, Who Needs Friends

I was looking at the Team Fortress 2 Achievement page and noticed something I thought was little weird. More people have gotten the “Milestone 2” achievement (24 Medic Achievements) than the “With Friends Like these…” achievement (Play on a team of 8 made up of only players from your friends...

Alternate Data Stream: Hidden Files on Your PC

This is high on the PC geek scale, but something I find that many people who consider themselves computer geeks have never heard of. I’m going to be talking briefly about Alternate Data Streams(ADS). First off, let’s discuss what it is. ADS is an undocumented feature of the NTFS...
