John Romero of ID Software fame got a hold of an old video of him playing the original Doom video game before it was even finished... It's about 21-minutes long and pretty interesting with the others from ID watching him play and commenting on various things...

So if you got time to kill and I'm sure most everyone does, "clicky on the pic" and enjoy the footage.. One note: You get to see a lot of ID's offices tho John Rockin' out with Doom is a ways into the video...

Enjoy




I'm not even finished getting through Doom III and I find out ID is getting Doom 4 ready for release... Geeze!!! where have I been?... You can read the blurb here: id expecting to sign Doom 4 deal 'later this year,' publisher unknown... The stories from Joystiq so ya gotta know it's true... hahaha

And for you MAC Freaks (I'm a closet Mac freak) here's something I'm sure you just can't live without... Your very own "Plush" Steve Jobs Doll... I mean come on now, Steve Jobs is a "GOD" isn't he???... hahaha here's the Linky: Plush Jobs Doll...

Well I'm hoping this thing works out for us that can't afford to purchase new components or computers every time someone comes out with a game like Crysis that won't run on anything short of a main frame...

One of the biggest things that attracts me to this service is the fact it will, supposedly works on old PC's & Mac's and I would assume there would be Linux support at some time tho you never know...

“OnLive’s system seeks to take things one step further by handling all the computation on remote servers instead of on home-based consoles or PCs. This would allow gamers to play games across the network instead of shelling out cash for the latest console or high-end PC. OnLive claims to have developed a data compression technology that means games can be run on powerful internet servers and the data streamed over the internet instantaneously for display at home so that the latest resource hungry games can be played on a low end system as long as it has a fast internet connection.”

Barring any major disasters this could be a great thing for us that do not have the funds to keep shelling out for our gaming addiction and not to bore you with my words any longer just check out the Source link to read their detailed story and views on the upcoming service and check out OnLive's Homepage...

Not sure how many of you still haven't filed your Income tax for 2008 but if I was you I would avoid using H&R Block and trying out their “refund anticipation loan”... Seems one unlucky fellow didn't listen to The Consumerists Advice and got sucked in... This is an interesting story and everyone should probably read it as it seems every Retail Store and every other kind of service out there are trying to screw us the best they can to make a few extra bucks for themselves...

And if ya wanna read about another “Ripoff” this article will make you stop and look before you ever just think what your paying for has some reason for being more expensive when it's exactly the same process and size... Walgreens Doesn't Want You to Print Your Own Passport Photo...

As for Gadgets I think everyone would like to have one of these, just for the satisfaction of using it... George Bush Toilet Brush... And if that wasn't Wacky enough for ya then maybe you really need a Paper Airplane Launcher ...

Castle Wolfenstein was my very first game and from then on I was hooked... Next it was the Duke Nukem Series and before Duke Nukem 3D came out I was hooked on Rise of the Triad (ROTT)... ROTT had some innovative game play like the trampolines, a real God Mode where you could throw Fireballs and other neat things and the funny Dog Mode which came in handy many times...

Well I could have tried DOSBox to gets some of those games running but I never figured out how to use it... I did stumble upon a Duke Nukem 3D Port over at JanoF's Games and Stuff, and a link to the High Resolution Pack for the game here: Duke Nukem High Resolution Pack and I was a happy camper but I still wanted to play Rise of the Triad and a few others...

I was surfing around like I usually do and ran across this site: GOG.COM and what did I find you ask??? Well they have a pretty good sized collection of those old games that they have fixed the code for and got working with Windows XP & VISTA using DOSBox ... COOL I'd say!!!

So if you got the hunger why not drop on by their site and see if you can find any of your old favorites... The Price is Right on these games for sure... $5.99 each for hours of fun that could bring back some of your early gaming excitement, just purchase and download it couldn't get any easier than that... You can check out their Game Catalogue here: GOG Game Catalogue...

You still here???? what are you waiting for get over there!!!... hahahaha


If your looking to hang onto your money for a while and you like Hot Tea maybe you should waste it on a set of these when they come out: The T-Man Tea Strainer or you could really waste it and buy these: USB Buffalo Speakers tho I'm not really sure they are worth the $13 plus shipping tho you may like them...

If you got Squirrels running around your yard and climbing the trees and your basically tired of seeing them naked on a daily basis you could always get a few pairs of these for them: Squirrel Underpants , hey what the hell you wouldn't be the one to have to wash them and the squirrels would look a little less naked to you and your neighbors... What a deal for $5.99!!! Hahahahaha

Why?...

Well just look at this poor little simple guy that finds the best in everything. He loves his job and does it diligently, he savours simple human trinkets and cares for his pet Roach (I mean come on, would you take a Roach for a pet alone actually feed it???, NOT!!!).

WALL-E has enough curiosity to kill every LOLCat on this planet yet he is the only romantic left on a Dying Earth devoid of Humans and he Loves Musicals to boot!!!... What more could you want from a story that tells US of what will happen because we became so lame that taking care of the Planet that gave US Life and Sustains US so far will actually survive no matter what we do to destroy it and we will more than likely this time be the ones that future alien explorers and scientists find as Fossils... Earth will survive without US and WALL-E's lucky enough to find Love along the way...

What more could you want from life or a great movie???

For God's sake Please!, Please!, Please! wash your Bellybutton before you go... You know how stinky those things can become after ignoring it for months on end and if your just not into "Personal Hygiene" or taking a "Shower" Just do a simple "Sink Bath" before getting into the car and take your lazy ass into the bathroom and pick up a cheap & simple Q-Tip run it under some warm water and run it over your favourite bar of soap and clean that "Nasty Stinky Thing Out!!!!!"...

You could also wash your hair while your at it!!!... Your Family and In-laws will really appreciate it...

Why do we waste Money on Insurance in the first place???, is it to Be Ripped Off in the End???... Well these days it seems so... It's a sorry state we are in right now and maybe it's time for a change... In the begining Insurance was suppose to help Families!!! Ordinary People!!! with Losses, car wrecks, fires etc., now it's we just pay to help the Companies Purchase more Properties so "THEY!" can make more "PROFIT!" just like the "Credit Card Companies"... Ever wonder why the first option you have when you "Now" make a purchase either through a "Phone Number" you see on TV or on a "Website" is always a "Credit Card???"... Makes me go Hmmmm.... Basically it is to get you "Hooked!!!" so you can never get "Out of Debt!!!"....

What happens to the people that made those" Companies Billion Dollar Enterprises???" Well they suffer and That's a FACT!!!... Remember it was "YOUR MONEY!!!!" in the first place that got these organisations to the position they are in now...

Wanna see more???... Well sure you do!!!... These guys are one of the Biggest Crooks around... AIG Ad Is Optimistic, Ready To March Down The Field For A Comeback Win...

"Time to Speak Up People or Never Be Heard Again!!!"... Do what you can do, but if you just listen to the Talk Shows on the Radio and Complain or you just watch the news on TV and get pissed off and do nothing then you deserve what you are getting...

Just remember my Friends: "You can be a Go To Person or a Lame Ass Gecko!!!"
