Now, as a staunch PC supporter, I'd like to start by saying to all you Mac users, "Na na na boo boo!" Now that we got that ... http://blogs.geniocity.com/eby/2010/03/11/barriers-are-meant-to-be-overcome/ Remember when people used to buy their music on disks? Haha, man that's so 1990's. Nowadays, we just download our jams off of iTunes, right? Well why not do the same with games? This is what Valve, everyone's favorite gaming company, was thinking when they came up with ... http://blogs.geniocity.com/eby/2010/02/11/gamestops-probably-pretty-steamed/ I've never been that curious as to what my dog's really saying. I'm pretty sure Gary Larson's Far Side cartoon figured it out. However, I guess most people don't think like I do. Or at least enough people to be profitable. Mattel has a new invention ... http://blogs.geniocity.com/eby/2010/01/31/if-birds-arent-enough-now-your-dog-can-tweet-too/ The year is 2010. Only five more years until we get to laugh at Back to the Future II. I'm still waiting for my flying car and self-drying jacket, but at least we can rest easy knowing our scientists are hard at work making some crazy stuff to ... http://blogs.geniocity.com/eby/2010/01/15/5-awesomely-useless-gizmos/ Wow.

Preferably 3D Imax, though I just saw it in a ... http://blogs.geniocity.com/eby/2010/01/01/avatawesome/ I forgot that my laptop has a broken wireless card and can't access the internet! I couldn't blog for the extent of my Christmas vacation! So, sorry about that. On the plus side, I did see Avatar and I will have a post up about that tomorrow. ... http://blogs.geniocity.com/eby/2009/12/29/guess-what-i-forgot/ When I first saw the movie "The Last Airbender" which is the live-action version of the award-winning Nickelodeon animated series, I was wondering why they didn't call it Avatar: The Last Airbender, which is the proper title. I quickly learned that this was because they already had an Avatar ... http://blogs.geniocity.com/eby/2009/12/19/not-the-last-airbender-one/ It's always a pain playing a game on a friend's computer. There's always the one guy who has inverted controls so up is down, or a PC gamer who set "c" as crouch instead of shift. You can either struggle to get used to your friends play style, ... http://blogs.geniocity.com/eby/2009/12/07/steam-cloud-makes-gaming-a-bit-clearer/ Anyone who likes rap, knows someone who likes rap, or has heard that "I'm on a boat" song probably knows about T-Pain. He's become popular because of his unique use of pitch correction, a digital process which allows singers to use programs like Auto-Tune to correct any mistakes they ... http://blogs.geniocity.com/eby/2009/12/02/sagan-sings-sort-of/ I'm generally not a big RPG guy. I'm more of a shooter fan with games like Call of Duty or Team Fortress 2 in my repertoire.
