Free to a Good Home

For my local friends and readers, I offer up:

  • Maxtor DiamondMax 3400 11.5GB hard drive; works fine, no known errors
  • American McGee’s Alice video game (PC)
  • 2 sticks of Elixir DDR-400 256 MB ram
  • Thrustmaster Super Sport Racing Wheel, hardly ever used

I’m tired of storing them. Take them off my hands and save me the trouble of selling them on Ebay.

From Wonderland to Tomahna

Wonderland has been restored.

After not too much time and difficulty I finished off American McGee’s Alice last night, though I will admit to cheating a bit on the last few levels. I simply didn’t have the patience to retry some of the sections over and over. So, I turned on “notarget” and ran through a couple of the tougher sections. (more…)

Vacation of the Rings

I love having the holidays off. I haven’t actually left the house since Sunday. Yesterday (and today) have been dedicated to Icewind Dale. I might actually make some good progress.

Saturday Sarah and I met Kristen and Patrick for a matinée of Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. That is a fabulous movie. For me it was certainly the most emotionally invested movie and I needed all of the endings. I needed to see the hobbits return to the Shire; I needed to see Aragorn crowned; I needed to see the elves, Gandalf and Frodo set off into the sunset. It completed everything for me in a way that Hollywood just doesn’t do. (Nowadays, they always leave movies somehow incomplete, just in case they decide to make a sequel.)

I’m actually looking forward to when the full, complete, uber-box edition with all three movies with extras and more extras and etc. is released so we can have a complete movie marathon. It won’t be as good as the marathons some theatres showed, but it’ll have to do.

My only complaint isn’t with the movie, but the industry. We had 10 full minutes of commercials before 20 minutes of previews. Movies, the last commercial free place, are gone. It is a sad day.
