I’ve currently got two Dell computers on my desk and I’m about to replace the older one with a new machine. I’ve built my own computers in the past, but I’ve been very happy with the two Dells that I’ve received and really don’t enjoy building my own. The odds of getting a [...]

There have been a series of tower defense games that I’ve played online for free over the past year or so. They’re all simple strategy games that can really make time fly by. Well, a new one has popped up and it’s a little different from some of the others I’ve played.
In previous [...]

I’ve seen a lot of headlines about Windows Vista and XP on sites like digg lately. Vista isn’t being purchased by businesses because of drivers, slowness of machines, memory consumption, etc, and some people seem to think that Vista is doomed.
I just don’t see MS giving up on the OS anytime soon. As [...]

I just blogged about this the other day:
Since the only TV I have is a small 19″ SDTV, I decided to get one of those VGA connectors so I can connect my 360 to my Dell 20″ LCD. The size difference won’t be noticeable, but the Widescreen change will. I’ve noticed that the text on [...]

One of the first guides I did for IGN was for The Sims Online. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game, but I didn’t continue the subscription after the first month was up because I just couldn’t afford it at the time. Some time has passed and I was wondering how the game was [...]

The other day Ogre and I briefly chatted about bringing back some of our old sites. He’d like to bring more gaming info to his blog, but there’s no substitute for his old Through The Ages (TTA) fan site for Age of Empires.
The same is true for my fan site for RollerCoaster Tycoon, RCT [...]

Last night Ogre and I decided to try and play Age of Empires again. He tried to get Railwolf, but he wasn’t reachable at that time, probably because he’s sick. Without Rail to serve as host, Ogre offered to host, which is fine by me. Unfortunately, Ogre couldn’t figure out the port [...]

It wasn’t but a few minutes after I made the previous entry that Ogre came on AIM and said he and Rail were ready for a game. Well, I agreed since I was just researching, nothing too important at that time of night.
In the first game, I attacked Railwolf a few times early on, [...]

The other day I mentioned I ordered some games from Amazon. I was eagerly awaiting them, much like any other package. For some reason it’s always nice to receive a package, even if you bought it for yourself.
Anyway, the only game I opened was the big Age of Empires collection. Much to [...]

Just under a year ago I installed the original RollerCoaster Tycoon on my PC. I hadn’t had it installed since I closed down RCT Station a few years ago. When you go a long time without playing a favorite game, it’s only natural to go back to it at some point. Well, [...]
