Quick gaming update. In case you haven’t been living under a rock you know who Tom Clancy is. Bringing him aboard for their games has probably made Ubisoft a boat load of money. And for good reason. I am not a big fan of the Ghost Recon series and I wasn’t too impressed by Endwar …
Top 5 Things The TV Wants You To Believe Are True
Back after a week of hibernating. Here is this Saturday’s morning rant. The evil TV wants you to think all sorts of things that I simply find are not true. I’ve given up actual TV some 5 to 7 years ago (not sure on the actual moment I stopped watching) so I am almost constantly …
Nothing To See Here, Move Along!
I am partial to the band All American Rejects. The first song played this band that I ever heard was “Dirty Little Secret”. Move Along Dirty Little Secret – Love it! Gives You Hell It Ends Tonight – Saddish… P.S. Working to improve my Gomoku and fighting through FF XIII. Damn, life is hard :).
Gomoku
I dug up one of my old projects, an implementation of the game Gomoku – a game played on a Go board where the goal is to build a row of 5 stones. The goal of my project was to apply the minimax algorithm using a pruning heuristic to reduce the game states search space. …
FF XIII – If You Don't Know What That Means, I Don't Want To Know You
Here are the facts: Final Fantasy XIII has been out for a while now – got mine a week and a half ago. I am only 9 hours into the game and alas, it seems it will take me a long time to finish this. The Final Fantasy series has always prided itself on offering …
Reverse Surprise Party

Poll This
Added the nice wp-polls plugin to my wordpress instalation so I can do some…well…polling. Check out the lower right corner :D. I will post an actual poll in the coming days. It would also be a nice way to check if people actually visit this place ;). P.S. The same poll can be included in …
Ubisoft: Just Give Up!
In case you haven’t heard all about Ubisoft’s brain-dead DRM scheme, read my previous post. Here’s a quick update: it seems that for the last few days legit owners of Silent Hunter 5 and Assassin’s Creed 2(I haven’t gotten mine yet…) have been unable to play due to the fact that Ubisoft servers were down …
Casino
First up, in my “movies to see” category, “Casino” by Martin Scorsesse. I’ve must have seen Casino three times already. It’s a movie about how Las Vegas really works, about wise guys, about how the house always wins and, well, trust. If you want, it’s “Wall Street” but about the corrupt world of Vegas. Of …
Change Your Yahoo Messenger Status – The "24" Way
Hello all, This is based on a little program I wrote a year or so ago. I cannot take credit for the idea, I found it on a forum. I was looking for a way to change the status displayed by Y! Messenger by an external program. It turns out it can be achieved by …
