Box is Up and Running

30 May, 2008 | Games | No comments

Took about an hour to get it all together.  I’ll have some pictures up later.  With a chassis fan, cooling fan, CPU fan and Video card fan, the box makes a ‘wooshing’ sound as the air leaves.  Cold air as well!  I’ve reduced the speed on the chassis fan and will most likely replace it [...]

End Game Raiding

28 May, 2008 | WoW | No comments

As infrequent as possible, I post World of Warcraft related items. This one is a doozy.

Context:

The ‘Death’ figures are Warlocks.
The Water Coolers are Mages (as Water is how classes regain spell casting power and Mages are the #1 source)
The robots are Priests (aka Heal-Bots).
The drunkards are paladins.  They are an all around use class [...]

Rafting

Yesterday 6 of us went white water rafting. The company we chose was Eau Vive, a small-ish group up on la rivière rouge in Québec.  I had done some rapids on a canoe before but this was a new experience.

The thing about buying on the internet is not the upfront cost by the taxes, shipping and duties.
Buying american could be cheaper but duties are usually about 10% of total cost. Shipping is around 50$ too. Most times there are no taxes though.Buying canadian means taxes (gst) and shipping.
So to find the best deal [...]

So I need to upgrade the box.  It’s a 4 year old case with a few upgraded parts.  AMD Athlon 4000+, 2gigs of RAM, X700 card.  The card is the main issue but the chipset is itself over 2 years old.
Here’s what I’m looking at:
Diamond Viper Radeon HD 3850 512MB Dual Slot GDDR3 PCI-E Dual [...]

Age of Conan

I’ve been following this game for about 2 years now.  My father was a huge Conan comic book fan and hence, so was I.  The primal nature of the cimmerian is what draws people in.  The bad guys are the complicated ones (barely so), the rules are set from the beginning and the [...]

I had dinner with the GF last night.  Note 1)  Don’t go to East Side Mario’s anymore.  They have 2 pages of pasta - well, 1 page and the 2nd is the same but BIGGER - and 2 pages of pizza.  That’s it.  Plus the GF had her pasta served 2 minutes after ordering, a [...]
