My original plan for viewing Netflix Instant Watch video on my TV, sans laptop, was to rely on the upcoming Xbox 360 Dashboard update. However, now that I’ve traded in the 360 that is obviously not an option. The PS3 provides built-in support for media servers. Being a Mac user…

Continue reading →: A Wii for a Playstation 3
In a recent post I mentioned that I haven’t been using my Nintendo Wii very much. Well, to make matters worse for the Wii it did not help that I have been wanting a Blu-Ray player for a while. After work, about a week ago, I gathered up the Wii…

Continue reading →: Burnout Paradise (for those who were unimpressed by the demo)
I’ve been a big fan of the Burnout series of racing/crashing games since the original was released. I have favorites and fond memories of these games. I don’t really have a favorite – each has its redeeming qualities, though Paradise almost my favorite of all. In fall of 2007 I…

Continue reading →: iPhone – Likes and dislikes so far…
I’ve had an iPhone since last spring. It has proven to be a good phone and iPod combination, though certainly not without some issues. For me, the most irritating problem is its apparent difficulty in maintaining a signal in poor coverage areas. It may sound strange to complain about poor…

Continue reading →: Wii… Oh yeah, I forgot that I have one.
I have owned a Nintendo Wii for more than a year and half. It seems to gather a lot of dust. For some reason, I just don’t play games on it very often. The odd thing is that whenever I buy a game series for the Wii that I’ve been…

Continue reading →: Update
I haven’t been playing games much lately. The newness of the 360 and Wii seems to have worn off, though I still have plenty of games to toy with. Ultimately, as cool as the new Mario game is I just haven’t felt compelled to play it since I the first…

Continue reading →: Gaming…Way too much..
But for some reason I still enjoy it. I had gotten into Halo 3 Multiplayer (Ranked Team Slayer Matches) for a couple of weeks. After a while it started to wear me out (and began to feel very repetitive) so I stepped back, read some books, relaxed, and played other…

My job often requires that I check on my e-mail from time to time outside of regular working hours. It’s just part of the nature of what I do. Several months ago I was given a different kind of cell phone to use. Not only did this one have better…

Continue reading →: Overlord (XBox 360)
A while back (perhaps last September) I purchased Overlord. In the game the player controls the Overlord, who has been recently awakened to reclaim his territories and rebuild his castle. The player can choose to be Good or Evil, which affects the final outcome of the game. During most of…
