by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 11, 2005 8:00am PDTSo last week was car engine troubles, a crashed harddrive and this week starts off with a flat tire. Rocking. Movie: You're an abomination. An outrage against nature. You've perverted everything I taught you, and used it for evil. And you have to be stopped.
Harry Potter for Kinect announced
Mad Riders trailer goes heavy on the meta
Anarchy Reigns finished, delayed by Sega anyway

My spot on the recent TLC show "untold Stories of the ER". I've been doing some editing with it for my reel and I have my full segment with no commercials and other parts of the show to interrupt.
Its still a little on the "unpolished" side so I hope you dont mind.

I always get fucked over on ebay. Dude had perfect 100% feedback, auction even had paypal buyer protection available. Today I get this shit:
Hello,
I am very sorry to say that the seller of the phones is a fraudulent seller, they have conned both you and us, we are very sorry, and we are reporting him to his local law enforcement, eBay and Western Union (how we paid them), again i am very sorry for this, if i manage to get your money back i will refund you, but its highly unlikely.
Please contact us if you want to know anything else.
Now the dude's feedback is private and he has a negative, time to call amex for ye chargeback.

Not quite the knock out selection of Taito Memories Joukan (which includes such classics as Elevator Action Returns, Darius Gaiden, Kiki Kai Kai, Pulirura, Metal Black, and Light Bringer....among others), but Qix and Elevator Action are as much fun today as they've ever been, while Hat Trick Hero and Space Invaders 95 pretty much seal up the deal for me any damn way. Gun Frontier isn't too shabby as far as vertical shooters go and let's face it...G-Darius rocks something fierce.
A lot of games on here aren't too hard to pick up cheap on Playstation, but it'll be nice to have them all in one collection. I just wonder why they split up Elevator Action and Elevator Action Returns along with Rastan I and II. :(

My father in law would like to get a external hard drive to be able to backup multiple computers. Does one exist? I know there are external hard drives are out there to backup single computers but what about multiples. They would like to backup 4 computers.

I was just in the bathroom shaving and noticed that if I look to the far right or left my eyes have a slight tint of yellow on the edges. Not around the actual pupil/retina, but the part of the eye that's usually covered up by skin.
Am I jaundice or is this normal? (No, my skin is fine... lol)

Had some productive time spent looking at housing, I was even OUTSIDE for 2+ hours without getting sick. I think I am getting over the initial shock of relocation to Texas. Found an area of condo/apts by the lake that are very much more 'upstate NY' feeling - there are TREES!
It rained! It was awesome. Glad I have a 4x4 truck because the streets filled up to like a foot of water in some places - was cooking along and blammo - water up and over the hood and zero visibility. And lightning that extends the height of the giant sky out here is impressive.

BF2 has worn thin on me for awhile, and I'm in the mood for something single-player and non-combat oriented. I remember seeing it at Target for like $10. Is it worth it?

Jesus Titty Fucking Christ.
The first thing that I noticed was the size. I hadn't expected it to be that big. Previously I had been using an elcheapo 15 inch crt mon. I had forgotten what it was like to use a good monitor. WoW looked amazing at 1600x1200. Now I am stuck at work on two 17 inch monitors wishing I was at home working instead.
If there is anyone on the fence about buying one of these things, just do it. You won't regret it.

From a coding standpoint, textures are referenced by GLuint's in openGL. But a GLuint is just a fancy typecast for an unsigned integer. So is that integer just an address that openGL uses to find the texture stored in its own memory? I've been using a pointer to a GLuint to have the same texture used by many different objects, but if my thinking is correct, isn't it unessecary to use a pointer? Couldn't they just all hold a similar (same value) integer and it would work just the same?

a few weeks ago, i filled my lawnmower's oil thingy with oil. all was right with the world. at some point towards the end of my mowing adventure, i felt the mower was making an odd noise. i proceeded to turn the thing on its side and inspect the undercarraige, but found nothing. i then turned the mower back upright and started it up again. this is when the problems began. once restarted, the engine ran at a speed that was barely high enough to keep itself from puttering out. it was as if the throttle had been turned down to the lowest possible setting. i also noticed the exhaust was much thicker, unlike before.
i gave up mowing the rest of the yard that day, and since that time, the contraption has not run for longer than about 30 seconds at a time. the vast majority of the time, it won't start at all. on the rare occasion it actually catches and runs, it will run for about 30 seconds at that same slow, pitiful pace, then die. the exhaust is still thick.
i'm thinking oil got into the gas tank or the engine when i turned the mower on its side. however, i concede that i have the mechanical knowledge that would rival a medium size rock, so i yeild to the diagnosis of the shack. what is wrong with my mower? what should i do about it?
please help. my grass is out of control.

anyone ever actually tried a hard disk OVER 250gb in one of these external USB caddies?
a lot of them from a year or 2 ago started advertising "now upgraded to support 250gb drives!" - and that was that - so as consumers we assumed the old ones don't do 250gb drives
but what's the bizzo? can we pop a 400 in one of these or what?

Between this review and comments from people on the forums who have the game, it sounds like EA got it right this year. The only thing that bugs me is reports of quarterbacks having unusually high completion percentage totals in the dynasty mode. Probably due to the way EA "fixed" the problem with dropped passes from last years game.
