How I Spent My Summer Vacation

How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Here is a pretty <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=464>fair assessment</a> of my vacation a couple weeks ago. Over the weekend I bought a new monitor to use for dual display with my eMac. I got a Samsung 17” LCD monitor. It is really nice. I use my second display so I can chat on AIM and surf the web while I am playing Warcraft on my main screen. Continue reading "How I Spent My Summer Vacation"

2-Bit Comics

2-Bit Comics
K-Dog <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=462>had a party.</a> Games were played. My project this week was soft modding the XBOX. K-Dog hooked me up with a memory card and Splinter Cell and 5 min later my XBOX was modded. The whole process was easier than your mom. Since then I have installed the XBOX Media Center, an NES emulator, SNES emulator and an N64 emulator. I am really impressed with the XBOX Media Center and how well it plays videos off my computer over the network. If you have an XBOX and don’t mind breaking the law I recommend modding it to turn it into a cheap media PC for the living room. Continue reading "2-Bit Comics"

We’ve got a new <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=460>corporate drone</a> in the real world now. Resistance is pointless. It was a busy weekend. Friday night was the Tiger release and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It was an excellent movie, I’ll put my full review in the podcast Thursday. Saturday we had K-Dog’s graduation, and then last night was the triumphant and hilarious return of Family Guy. I installed Tiger last night and decided to erase my hard drive and start over. I had a bunch of apps I wanted to get rid of because they were taking up space (Virtual PC). Dashboard is pretty cool and I can’t wait to see what widgets people come up with. The only problem I am having since the install is that my mouse pointer doesn’t seem as smooth as it used to be. I installed the Microsoft drivers for my wireless intellimouse, and turned the speed all the way up but it still doesn’t feel right. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Growing Up

Growing Up
<a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=458>Life is good.</a> Friday night Brad and I went to Easton for some shopping. I got my tax return money and decided to buy Doom 3. I hadn’t planned on buying it this soon but then I found out that the collectors edition included Ultimate Doom and Doom II. This sold me instantly. After that we went to our new favorite comic store Dave’s Clubhouse. I made a comment about the Marvel Vs card game and it turned out that several of the people there play it and said it was fun. I bought the starter deck and one of the guys that worked there showed Brad and I how to play. It’s a pretty fun game and a nice diversion from Magic. Later that night we played poker as usual. I was down to 30 chips at one point but somehow I came back and took second place without buying back in. Saturday we decided to play D&D. I had never played before so I was curious to see what it was like. Creating a character took forever, there is so much math involved and so many things you need to take into consideration to figure out your stats. I decided to be a fighter, Brad was a monk, Heather was a wizard, AJ was a barbarian and The Raj was the dungeon master. It was pretty fun, at one point I tried to torture a guy for information by cutting off his hand but Brad caught my axe in midswing an threw me against a wall. Yes I realize how truly nerdy I have become, but I think the thing to remember is not to get too intense into any one hobby. I like trying out all these different games but I’ve never going to put all my time and money into just one of them… except possibly Warcraft. That game rocks. Continue reading "Growing Up"

Lingo

Lingo
Here’s a <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=456>comic.</a> I’ve decided to start doing one comic a week on Monday’s. I don’t want to stop doing the comic completely but I also don’t have a lot of time and its getting harder to come up with ideas. I don’t know how professional cartoonists do it every day. Not having a real job probably helps. In other news the podcast is getting a pretty good rank on podcast alley. We’ve almost broke the top 100! Continue reading "Lingo"

Head Games

Head Games
Even though I’ve been sick all week I still managed to <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=455>crank out a comic.</a> I haven’t even played very much Warcraft this week because I’ve been so sick. I hope I am better by Saturday to go see Sin City. The previews make it look more like a comic than anything I’ve ever seen. Continue reading "Head Games"
