Part pricing for the computer enthusiast…
I get asked this all the time. What kind of computer specs are good enough to run games that you play? Most of the people I know are console gamers. That doesn’t bother me a bit. I’ve ran through 5 xbox 360′s in the past 4 years. When the fifth died, I was lucky enough [...]

What have I been up to?
Most likely I’ve been up to no good. Since my luck has ran dry in the job hunt, I’ve took initiative to create something that hasn’t been made yet. I can’t tell you what the project is exactly, because I don’t want assholes ripping me off, but I’m probably about 80% done for the short [...]
