edlib Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Bought my Apple Time Capsule tonight. Pricey... but I did the math on a 1TB drive and a 802.11n wireless, and it wasn't any better. And that solution didn't give me wireless networked printing either. When I do get my Mac Mini (probably later this month...) I'll be able to do auto backups to it as well. Day off tomorrow. Sweet. I'll be able to bust my hump doing all the projects I've ignored around here for several months. Then tomorrow night I'm attending a... *ahem*... dance party. (With M. and several of her hot friends.. that is.) I'll probably hate it there... but I can't pass up an opportunity to be in with a crowd of hot, sweaty, attractive women just looking for a good time... now can I?

edlib Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 go ed!!!! ed definitely knows how to work magic and get tons of hot womens I dunno 'bout all that. So far no real payoff from all my efforts. Guess I'll just have to keep trying and workin' it. What else is there to do? 'Tis a dark day in edlib-land... Just disconnected from my PC and packed away all my flightstick controllers. They were in the way for the new wireless hub... and the thick layer of dust on them tells me that it's unlikely they will be needed any time soon. If I ever do get another killer flight sim, then I'll probably purchase a new joystick to go with it anyway. But I just can't feel like I've come to the sad end of a much brighter era... *Sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 ^ Seriously. Someone needs to make a new space combat sim. NOW. Not some 360, stripped-down, arcady B.S., but a real sim like X-Wing with a thousand controls, elaborately designed missions, and hours upon hours of challenge. And if it's a Star Wars game, so much the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Been playing Modern Warfare 2 most of the day. The single player campaign is kinda bleh, been there done that feeling gameplay wise, and the story is so-so. Felt very action movie ish. The real fun is shooting people on xBox Live.

edlib Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Spent most of the day configuring my wireless network. Being an Apple product, in theory it should have been easier. But apparently, it doesn't play well with my firewall software, which cased a lot of headaches. I have it working now... as a network device, anyway. I still don't have full functionality on the print sharing or the hard drive storage yet. I'll have to play with that some more. Gotta get ready to go out now... just when I feel I could use a nap.

edlib Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Shouldn't your router have a firewall in it so you don't need to bother with that crap?Eh... I'm not sure how much I trust a firewall that never gets updated. Plus: It would only protect from incoming attacks. If I (stupidly) open something that wants to call out, a router firewall wouldn't stop it. But whatever... it's not impossible to work around... just a couple of extra steps. Or disable it until configurations are set. Dance party was a bit of a dud. Not that many people there, and only one of M.'s friends showed up... and she arrived late and left early. Not much dancing... but the music was loud enough to make talking difficult. So... at some point a couple of us left and went to a karaoke club down the street... and stayed there until it closed. (2 am) That was fun... but not exactly the night I had envisioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hmmm... Maybe at some point. I wasn't that crazy about the first one. (Or good at it...) I have a pretty busy couple of weeks ahead. It would be a waste to get it now... I won't get a chance to play if for a while. I just downloaded a whole bunch of game demos off of Live. I'm gonna try them out when I have time and see if there's anything I really want. Ugh... gonna be tired today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildstar Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 640 set last night...not my very best set ever, but I had 28 clean frames out of 30 (2 opens in the first game, both on splits), so it was one of my most consistent ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Suddenly feeling kinda blah. Hope it's just the exhaustion inherent in staying out carousing all night catching up with me,.. and not something more flu-ish setting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 almost through the campaign. so far spent over 10 hours on it. so i guess i'm near the end. then it's time for team deathmatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 dont bother man iuts 6 hours of SP gameplay, an hour of which is utter ****. The single player campaign is rather rubbish. COD:MW1 had a much better SP campaign though. Leaves it open to a inevitable 3rd MW game. Which I'm totally not against. Special Ops is fun if you just wanna chill with one buddy and kill NPC's or do crazy random **** that you can't do in regular MP. It's a nice Co-Op mode they put in for those of us who don't wanna slog though XBox Live and shoot people. But the slog is TOTALLY WORTH IT. MP is fun, fast, and invigorating. Canning in an AC-130 and fireing off these huge 30MM cannon rounds and killing 4-6 people in one shot is HILARIOUS fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 This should have been an easy day... but somehow it was strangely confrontational all around. I'm covering in the small recital halls today... something I haven't done in years. Both stages are tiny, and neither room seats more than 150 people. I don't know why both events today got so uncomfortable. One was a acappela vocal group... and the other a trombone recital. The trombone player brought her own engineer (strictly verboten anywhere on campus...) and leader of the acappela group got up in my face when he showed up 45 minutes late for setup/ soundcheck, and things weren't exactly the way he wanted them. Seriously?!?? These are the 2 shows that are going to go down as the biggest headaches I have to deal with all year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a few levels of the spec ops, some of it was fun. too bad the bh and ac130 are 2player only. and I refuse to buy it. I would have, if I thought the SP wasnt absolute **** on a stick. atleast dice is giving PC gamers something to look forward too. Ill have to get BF: BC before march for the 360 also, it keeps getting yanked off youtube because IW is a bunch of losers..... but the game is already uber hacked with aimbot on the 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I just beat the single player campaign on veteran. it took me 16 hours. the story was pretty good, imo, i didn't feel like putting the controller down like i did when playing ODST's campaign. i haven't checked into xbox live yet, so i don't have anything to say about the multiplayer yet. there's alot of intense action in the campaign, which is what i like, though on veteran it got annoying at times...getting checkpointed while being in the line of fire led to me dying about a hundred times. next game i'm waiting for is Splinter Cell Conviction.

Rogue15 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 ran at the track this morning. this time i decided to wear gloves so I wouldn't get frostbite. my time was 17:15. first mile i ran in 8:15. wish i could get the first mile to 7:30. might end up getting a gym membership since it's starting to get colder out....and since i'm able to wake up earlier i can actually get there and work out and not have to worry about being late for work. today im scheduled 2-9:30.
