Star Wars: The Old Republic – First Gameplay Videos

This came out about 5 days ago but it was nowhere to be found on my RSS feeds: http://media.pc.ign.com/media/816/816935/vids_1.html

Looks wonderful, I can’t wait until this comes out. Finally an MMO where taking on more than one NPC is normal and won’t get your ass handed to you.

Redoing my Computers

So, a few weeks ago I decided it was time to change my software setup. At the time I had the Windows 7 beta running on my desktop and laptop and FreeBSD running on my server. I switched it up by putting OS X back on my laptop (yay hackintosh!) and this time with sound working.

I also brought my server into my room and have started using it for TV and such. I realized that it was being used almost exclusively for storage and since it had a lot more power than that I wanted to use it for something else. That combined with my problem with a few games not liking dual-monitors made me recommission it as a Debian box which is sitting in my room now. Whenever I’m playing games or other things on my desktop I use that box for TV. Apart from that it still serves the exact same purpose as before, but it’s also easier to maintain with Debian.

Veronica Mars

Just finished watching it. All three seasons. Great TV show, but with each season it got a little bit worse.

The first season had a very nice overall plot, wrapped up at the end with a nice slightly unexpected ending. The overall arc completed and it wrapped up in the first few episodes of the next season.

The second season was a bit worse. They threw a large event in at the very beginning. And then they didn’t touch it for a while. And then they brought it up again. And then it disappeared. They used it for a few random smaller arcs within the season and then in the end it was someone who wasn’t even remotely related at the beginning. Before the end he was mostly a minor character. Not the even close to the best season of a TV show I’ve seen.
