Mythos is down T__T

I have never experienced a beta that did not move on to a final production. Mythos has shut down their servers. We all gathered in the town hall and had a big fireworks and special powers party on Friday night until midnight. Even then there were beggars. "Give us a rare item." What are they going to do with it for the last fifteen minutes? The unable to connect message I encounter now breaks my heart.

My gremlin sharpshooter could unload explosive stun rounds for twelve seconds without running out of mana. My giant Cyclops Mage had psycho meteoric fury and waddled like a duck.

New laptops with Vista

Needed a powerful laptop to take to Africa for photo storage and presentation. I settled on ASUS G1sn. It was loaded with Vista64 but I figured I could wipe it clean and upgrade to XP. No Drivers! I wanted to list some of the neat features about Vista that make it tempting to keep:

After heavy research and in some cases hacking drivers to make them fit, I have XP running! It is more than twice as fast for some things, and all games run FPS better.

A friend needed a laptop and insisted on XP. I found that Newegg sells XP laptops, but no retail stores do! Walmart has a nice basic Toshiba for a great price, so I figured that they would have drivers out there. No such banana. Same hammering procedure will be needed to get XP running.

Mythos

Mythos is so awesome that posts have ground to a halt. There is a quest I need to work on, so no time for updates! (Actually I did manage to update the eats page.)

Diablo 2, for free. Massively online and smooth as digital butter. Picture a hulky cyclops as a fire mage! Hard choice between that and a Gremlin gadgeteer.

Scorched Earth goes 3D

Remember Scorched Earth? The Shareware tank game with pixel graphics from 15 years ago has been rebuilt by someone in the UK. The controls take a few attempts to get efficient. After that hurdle is tripped over and the camera wrestled, it is actually quite fun. There are usually lots of other players online also.

Since Scorched Earth and One Must Fall have been rebuilt, all that remains is to remake the brilliant Return Fire. And while you are at rebuilding the best games ever, give Lost Vikings a boost!

Um, Ride YOUR music.

Audiosurf. nuff. (helps to forget Frequency and Amplitude first.)

Gangway!

I am VERY impressed with Gangway, an obscure 80's group from Denmark. Download samples of their songs. Notice through the recordings how the breaks come, and the styles change. It has those witty lyrical fun things I love most from my music.

The first song, Gangway - Mountain Song describes exactly going to a city like Denver or Durango with uppity dining establishments manned with plastic people. They get eight capillion points for leaving in the "Hang on" phrase where he misses the note completely and then giggles about it.

Next is a real shocker; Gangway - My Girl and Me. This marks the first time I have heard a word-for-word scripture including chapter reference in a mainstream song! So-called Christian groups don't even do that.

Then comes Gangway - Going Away a life-ruining break up song. Very intelligent lyrics, with almost Taco like vocals. "Death beams" and "the house belongs to you" are clever.

Don't Trust Me is not as catchy, but it has some nice atmospheric stuff.

Come Back As A Dog is light hearted, along the theme of the "I'll come back to haunt you" idea. Done in brilliant cheeky style.

Sitting in the Park is decent, the rest of the tracks don't stick with me much. They are included for completeness. You can afford the 150megs and bandwidth.

Why motel?

The model for staying in people's homes as opposed to paying for a motel is improving. Even locally some sites are offering this service. Our family can't stay in a motel for under 100 bucks a night, but we could easily camp in one of these. http://www.tdyrents.com Some of these houses are posh impressive.

Out to TV from PC?

Is it possible to broadcast video in some form from PC to television cable? I am not currently using the CRT televisions or their cables. Now it looks like the over-air broadcasts like PBS are going the way of the Dodo!

Is there a device to push FM signals in standard TV format (NTSC?) out TO my televisions? They can sure make a ton of them to receive the signals. I want to make and broadcast safe television for my kids. The formats off the internet are sadly much better signals than I can yank from the air. I have seen IPTV solutions in work environments, I need something not so expensive. Maybe using TVants or some such. This just seems to be a smarter investment than a digital converter box.

Reviews are STILL in production for the local tortillarias, several meals you can get from mobile trailers, and our first attempt at a homemade BlueScreen...  Navigation System is slowly improving.  The search engines are being lazy and not crawling my old content.
