I started playing Unreal Tournament back in 1999 on my trusty old G4 Power Mac and I’ve been addicted to the series ever since. With other great games come and go, Unreal manages to be the game that keeps on giving. I’ve easily gotten my moneys worth with Unreal Tournament 2004, since we play still rather vicious rounds of Vehicle Capture the Flag every day at lunch to this day. To finally get some new information about the new release kicks in the Pavlov effect and I’ve already decided the release of this game will dictate the purchase of my next computer. Six months never seemed so long.

Here’s a list of current Unreal Tournament resources

• Planet Unreal
• Beyond Unreal
• Unreal Playground
• Unreal Admin

And here’s a nerdy video of a my Unreal Tournament LAN party a couple years ago:

Besides having a passing fancy for origami that I never really have made much of an effort to undertake, I stumbled across this website thanks to Lifehacker. Coincidentally, I was on task to take care of my brother’s children last weekend and in need of something to entertain them with. After going for a rather surprisingly expensive bowling spree, we hit Office Max, because all children like office supplies, right? Coming home, the drum set downstairs seems to be the reigning champ of child entertainment. Both my niece and nephew are destine for rock stardom, by the way. After all that was done, we sat down to work with these awesome little creations. They seemed marginally amused by them, but after my brother and his wife picked up the children, m||3 and I continued to make these. That someone would bother to not only make something, but make it easy for someone else to participate gets double kudos in my book.

Very recently I had a computer scare that made me readdress my motherboard’s problem with keeping my external Maxtor 300 GB Firewire dive mounted in Windows XP2. I did a reinstalled and had a miserable time getting my secondary data drive to recognize. Although I finally did get it to show, it gave me shivers at the possible amount of data lost I could have experienced.
