Thanks to a forum member over at LS2GTO.com, we now finally have photos of the two new GTO colors for 2006, Brazen Orange and Spice Red. Check ‘em out.

Doom Radio “Drama”

Posted by Chief Oddball on Monday, November 14th, 2005 in Games, PC

Back in the nineties a really bad Doom comic was released. That’s bad enough, but then somebody who was really high on drugs proceeded to create a 10-minute “dramatic” radio reenactment of the comic (much like the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tape my friend Pooch and I are always joking about). This [...]

Take Your Medicine!

Posted by Chief Oddball on Sunday, November 13th, 2005 in Rants

Your nasty, craptacular medicine of foul and filthy luck, that is.
For starters, my Trans Am. It is angry that I’m selling it. It is determined to make me feel the flames, in a not so pleasant way. I mentioned earlier, I think, that it has started dripping some kind of weird fluid. [...]

Gaming Madness

Posted by Chief Oddball on Sunday, November 13th, 2005 in Console, Games, PC

Whilst in Michigan last month, I picked up a couple of used Xbox games — one of which was the new L.A. Rush driving game from Midway. I’ve been playing it off-and-on for the last couple of weeks. It started off okay, overall. The story is a horrid, hip-hop bling-bling tale with [...]

Random Pet Peeve

Posted by Chief Oddball on Friday, November 11th, 2005 in Quick Takes

So while I wait (at this ungodly hour) for the new NFS:MW demo to download, I wanted to say that it really irritates me when people say they “CUT the light on” or “CUT the computer on.” What are you doing, slicing the power cord with an Xacto? “Cut it on” is the [...]

Xbox360 Update

Posted by Chief Oddball on Thursday, November 10th, 2005 in Console, Games

Got an email update from EB Games regarding my Xbox360 order. The launch date for the console — 11/22 — is right around the corner, and the email confirmed that preordered bundles would be shipping out on Monday the 21st. Meaning, with overnight shipping, I’ll be getting another new console on launch day [...]

It’s All Kinds of Weird

Posted by Chief Oddball on Tuesday, November 8th, 2005 in Randomness

Weird, random wackiness. That today’s post is. Huh? Okay, now I sound like Yoda. Or as Frank Oz described it, old-style Jedi speak. Like ye olde English.
I just spent the last ten minutes hooking up a new uninterruptible power supply in my room, since I have way more devices than [...]

PC Game Review: F.E.A.R.

Posted by Chief Oddball on Friday, November 4th, 2005 in Games, PC

They say PC gaming is dying, and never have those cries been louder than now, during the impending release of the Xbox360, our first next-generation game console. Whether or not you believe this to be true, as PC games go, F.E.A.R. is like a shot of adrenaline directly to the heart. It’s a much needed injection of well-made excitement to the genre, and to PC gaming as a whole.

PSP Test

I am posting this from a PSP. Is that crazy or what.

Two Work Days in One

Posted by Chief Oddball on Tuesday, November 1st, 2005 in Life

I was having a hard time conceiving of spending more time sitting at a keyboard than I did yesterday: Twelve hours. Well, today I spent fourteen hours sitting at the desk, hammering away on crufty old tables in file after file of HTML code, attempting to redesign a flock of 40 sample applications for [...]
