Quake Live Open Beta

Quake Live went into open beta on February 24th, create an account and add me as a friend! My account name is “TinMan”

My old account was cleared from when I got invited to the closed beta and played at QuakeCon 2008, but now the name “TinMan” was available so I finally get to use that as my account name in a game instead of th3t1nm4n!

Seriously though, friend me and join me in a game of CA sometime.

AMC Sport Steering Wheel

I recently purchased an AMC sport steering wheel that would be appropriate for an AMX Javelin from the 1970’s, but I think that it looks great on any AMC car so I watched eBay listings until I found a new old stock one in good condition for a decent price. Today I had the time to install it on my 1972 Gremlin.

Here is the old wheel

and the new one

Doesn’t it just look faster? :D

15 Years of DOOM

Today marks DOOM’s 15th birthday, 15 years of BFG goodness. I’m pretty tired at the moment so I won’t say much, just a link here to last year’s DOOM post which pretty much covers it for this year, too.

Oh wait…what’s that? Epic picture.

That’s DOOM running on my Acer Aspire One that I got last week.

The Acer Aspire One netbook is model AOA 150-1777 with:

  • Intel Atom processor N270
  • 8.9″ CrystalBrite WSVGA
  • 1 GB DDR2
  • 160 GB HDD
  • Multi-in-1 card reader
  • Storage Expansion Slot
  • 10/100 base T LAN
  • 802.11 b/g WiFi
  • 1.3 Megapixel Webcam
  • VGA out

The size is perfect for portability while still being able to touch type efficiently, I haven’t gotten hand cramps from it yet. :P
