Back to older games.

I fired up Sid Meier's Pirates again yesterday, the new video card makes it far more playable.

I wonder if X2 - The Threat would be playable? I haven't been able to run it at a playable speed so far...

Damn it's nice to see games in hi-res again...

Now that I have a new Radeon 9550!

Goes nicely with the monitor :)

Damn it's hard to get anything done when...

You can't stop playing KOTOR II in all your spare time.

I'm glad I don't play WoW or I'd have no time for work...

DEFY DRIVEL (and other anagrams).

The following list of anagrams for FREDDY EVIL was generated by the Internet Anagram Server. I removed FREDDY EVIL from the list and arranged it in columns but it is otherwise unchanged:

(Yes, I was rather bored when I came up with this idea. Why do you ask?)

Another game I'm now enjoying...

...is Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

Just got it yesterday and I have to say I definitely need a new video card now!
The poor old GeForce FX 5200 just ain't cutting it any more.

I'm pretty sure there aren't supposed to be big glowing green and red bits in otherwise dark rooms (will post a screenshot soon, if you're interested)

(Edit: Turns out there's a European Language Version patch hidden on the LucasArts site, only for Non-US versions. That would explain the lack of other references or links from the site.)

If you're wondering about the tablet in the pic...

...it's a Wacom Graphire3 with the Digital Photography Kit.

I got it for Christmas last year :)

The Monitor in question...

I had to post a pic of it in its new home. :)

Movies I'm looking forward to...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Very cool website and they have a Marvin screensaver available for download.

Of course, I can't wait for Episode III - The Revenge of the Sith either, but I'm sure it will be a bit anti-climactic after all the hype.
