Portal is one incredible game, right down to the ending theme written by Jonathan Coulton. The game is so simple, yet is so fun. Hopefully they do make a Portal 2. I started last night, and after this morning I have the main game beaten and 4/6 advance levels beaten. Doing the challenges is going [...]

Plot is pretty bad… well not “bad” but just not interesting enough so far. I’m about 30 hours in but I’ve spent about 10 of those just leveling. I found a leveling “trick”, not really a trick, but I learned that the “Field Barrier” skill is amazing. I should have leveled someone in barrier magic [...]

It’s HARD. I’m going to really like it I think. The battle system seems really cool. Basically it’s a simple job system. You level up the “Warrior” type for your shadow, and you learn warrior abilities. Later on you can equipment the “White Magic” type for you shadow and still use some warrior abilities but [...]

So Bioshock was great. I got the good ending despite not dealing with one of the Little Sisters. I even got the achievement. So I guess if you rescue one and leave ALL of the others alone you still get the good ending? I’ll probably go back and kill the last one later just to [...]

So Bioshock is still fun. I’m in world 5-7 (I think, that’s all that’s listed in the metro system at the moment. It could open up bigger of course), so I think I’m getting close to beating it. The Big Daddies are still hard but with more and more power ups the game is getting [...]

Bioshock rocks. It’s an incredible game. The atmosphere it creates right from the first second is incredible. I’m only at the 3-4th level (Farmer’s Market during the collecting lab mat quest) but killing Big Daddies has gotten pretty easy. Just make them fight each other, or walk through a hallway with prox mines and hacked [...]

You’re all idiots. Blizzard is not going to compete with itself. You can blab about how they wouldn’t be “losing” customers all you want, but they will be losing profit margin. If you’ve been paying attention to what jobs blizzard has been hiring for, it’s for RTS’s. Once WoW is dieing they will probably think [...]

300 was amazing. Of course it wasn’t entirely accurate (not that I would know) but it was great. After seeing Rome the past couple of weeks (HBO Show) it was a very cool movie to watch. Incredible visuals and incredible fights. Very epic
Also, just a thought about the Wii… I hope soon game [...]

Unreal2004, Neverwinter Nights and Quake 3 all run great (obviously) since they are native linux apps. Not much needs to be said except kudos to the developers for making linux clients
World of Warcraft, Warcraft III and Diablo II seem to run great. I installed WoW by copying over my windows install folder, and [...]

So I finally figured out what to do with my current hard drives.
I have two in my system. A 120gig and a 250gig. I now have them setup like this:
Drive One: 120gig

80 gigs for Windows
40 gigs for Ubuntu

Drive Two: 250 gigs

125 gigs for Music stuff (NTFS)
125 gigs for my Ubuntu Home Directory (XFS)

All works great. [...]
