Basically I’m giving myself five minutes to write this. I have to be up early…way early…but still had the writing bug. Something that’s been lacking as of late. So here we go.
Limbo… I’ve been playing it and haven’t figured out what to think about it yet. Yes, I’m a bit late to the party, but it’s better late than never. Still the game, which is a platform puzzle game at heart, seems to polorize the crowds. Graphically, it was amazing at first to me, but towards the later chapters it gets tiresome. Feels like the game should be getting brighter or...

After pulling up to my home, eyes barely open after a 3rd day of little sleep and hard work, I was pleasantly surprised to find Amazon had left a little gift for me. By gift I mean box. And I also mean that they delivered it to me…because I payed for it. Yeah. No freebies here. But I digress.
The box contained non other then my case and PSU for the Silverstone build I’m doing. It’s a tiny little SUGO SG05 in black. I only had time to snap a few photos, but the case seems to feel much better then my latest Lian Li endeavors. Check out the gallery below for a few beauty...

Lian Li was, in all respects, a pioneer of aluminum cases. I used them for years, and while their aluminum cases never actually helped cool the system any better than steel or plastic, they looked awesome, and the build quality was excellent. The Lian Li Lancool PC-K7B is a new generation case retailing for about $90 to $100. Right away, there is a problem.
The case isn’t on the Lian Li website. In fact, it’s on it’s own dedicated website called Lancoolpc.com. This wouldn’t be such a bad thing if it wasn’t filled with such “Engrish” gems...

Lot’s happened lately. Battlefield 3 was released in an, admittedly, much better form then the BETA. I had plenty of time to play since I’ve been laid up from back surgery. I’ve also set up my old school game room, built a Home Theater PC, set up a Windows Home Server 2011 system, and have begun work on an ultra tiny min-ITX system based on Silverstone’s tiny Sugo SG05 using virtually nothing but left over parts. Should be fun. I was inspired by the awesomeness of Geekbox’s Prodigy computer. Geekbox has been showing up a lot lately, and after chatting with one of the...

Okay. The BF3 BETA is over but I find myself desperate for some sort of action like it. BF2 isn’t quite right. I, against better judgement, break out Modern Warfare 2 and head to the multiplayer. I’m quickly reminded of how much better BF3 is.
MW2 multiplayer is crap. I’ve said it since day one. I played over 60 hours to justify my point of view. I’ll keep on saying it. It’s a twitch fest with piss poor level design programmed by people who hate slow campers, aka realistic play. You shoot one enemy five times and he keeps on moving like the T-1000, and you shoot another...

If you might have noticed, I’ve been playing with the site design a bit. Well, actually more like the features. Saulot is going to help me get a few things fixed that need to be fixed, but otherwise, I’m pretty happy with it. It’s a low maintenance theme that doesn’t really require much work on my end to get material out. Maybe, if TGW ever develops a writing staff, then I might change up the theme a bit. At the very least, I need to take the Christmas lights down before Halloween.
On to the blog…

I was hesitant to write anything for a while due to being fairly absent minded lately. However, I just had a moment a moment of Zen playing Battlefield 3 which everything just made sense. I moved through the digital battlefield, machine gun in hand, and mowed down enemy after enemy....

Today I find myself in the tenuous position of actually defending Apple. I know, I know. I checked the floor to see if it was cold from the ice that now fills the once fiery Hell, but it felt normal. Basically, the Tech/Blog-o-sphere is currently full of articles and comments the vast disappointment regarding Apple releasing the iPhone 4s as opposed to the iPhone 5....
