IEEE fluff article about The Carmack

So the IEEE put out an article about The Carmack and his fleet of Ferrari's.  The headline suggests that it will be talking about Carmack hacking the computers of the Ferrari or something really cool like that.  Upon seeing the headline, I had envisioned John talking about cracking open the engine computer and deciphering  its hex code and then having to reverse engineer the whole thing in Italian and then spending hours and hours playing with it to figure out how to change engine timings and other very cool things that should only be done by the shop or with those kits you can buy out of the back of car mags. 

Instead, the article is just fluff about how much he spent on bolt on parts and engine rebuilds.   He spent a lot by the way but big deal.

So this is back online

Had some trouble with the switch on Blogger as they took away the ability to use FTP to update the site. Well, so be it.  It is all back online now except for the old content.  Will have to work on that at some point. 


Been playing God of War 3 after borrowing it from a friend and I'm pretty unimpressed.  Well, not unimpressed because the production values are ridiculously high, however the whole quick time event system is an insult to my gaming instincts.  Such a system of simply pressing a button when prompted rather than beating the system fair and square sort of makes boss fights rather anti-climatic as the method of defeating the opponent is taken out of your hands.


I think if I get another PS3 game I'll get something that is a bit more leisurely and hopefully fun like Guitar Hero: Metallica or something. 


Regardless, everyone still playing Team Fortress 2?  Good, that's good. It's still on my top played game lists even after three years.
