7 tips for a successful LAN party

I’ve just spent the weekend in the company of 6 friends and 7 computers, playing games and shooting the shit (and each other). The weekend went off without a hitch and from it I have gleaned the following tips for a successful LAN party:

Digg Digging Their Own Grave

After the HD-DVD key debacle you’d have thought that the people at Digg would have learned. In case you don’t know (where the hell have you been for the last few weeks?) Someone cracked the encryption on HD-DVD’s and published the key on their website, which was then dugg. The offending article was removed by [...]

I’ve been seeing this plastered all over the net for a couple of days, mainly in spam. It seems someone has decided to use spam to stick it to ‘the man’ because this sequence of hexidecimal numbers is apparently the key to the encryption on the majority of HD-DVD released to date. I’m wondering what [...]

Its nice to be appreciated…

A post because I’m bored…

I’ve been sitting staring at a blank text box for ten minutes now wondering what to post about. I’m quite low at the moment, nothing to be too worried about just something that happens occasionally. I’ll get over it. I get kind of restless, and no diversion seems to satisfy. Unreal Tournament is amusing for [...]

Is the PC games industry dying?

CSS, Template Tags, and loss of hair…

You may have noticed some disruption to the site over the last couple of days as I’ve been trying to build a theme from scratch, easier said than done let me tell you. I’ve planned out my layout, I’ve set up the template files I need, with the requisite template tags, and am now at [...]
