Internetz,
As you probably already heard, theres this great article over at Good Gear Guide on the 12 most interesting linux distros out there. I especially love Tin Foil Hat Linux and the live.linuX-gamers.net distros. I have an old Dell Inspiron laptop sitting at home just wating to be utilized for something. Heck, even the Mythbuntu distro might turn my old laptop into a useful media center. I'm looking forward to heading home at the end of the day so I can tool around with several of these distros and see which one might run best on my laptop.

Internetz,
I just wanted to write about my impression of WOW so far. Â I played a few more hours last night and I was able to level up to level 5. Â All I can say is that it has yet to capture me the way other RPG game did such as; Fallout 3, Oblivion, Shadow of the Colossus, Iku, Final Fantasy 7 through 12, all of the Zelda series, Xenogears, and Kingdom Hearts. Â WOW is fun to play, but without the real promise of an end-game and with little story to guide you along it simply feels like a RPG with missions that are in no way related to each other in a sense of a story and whose story line itself is pretty unimpressive. Â I guess I just realized I'm more of a fan of the story being told than the game being played.Â

Internetz,
For a while now, the hubby has been busy playing World of Warcraft. I had always stayed away from MMORPGs simply because I never really got that level of gaming yet; I was content playing stand-alone, sandbox style games, RPGs, first person shooters and especially fighting games. But as all things progress forward, so did my interest in other gaming genres. Erik was not my only influence in getting me to join the MMORPG scene, my neighbor and buddy, Ethan, is constantly playing MMORPGs such as Fallen Earth, Age of Conan and Everquest. I often spend time over at his place watching him play. Some of the worlds, especially in Age of Conan, are enormous in their size, rendered beatifully, and are well populated with NPCs and Online players alike. It was enough that about two days ago, I hunkered down on my couch, popped in my DVD of The Big Band Theory Season 1, installed World of Warcraft and got my MMORPG on. Truthfully, I've been preoccupied with my web page as of recently and thus have only put in an hour of gameplay. I will most likely put in more hours during the weekend. I don't intend to become addicted to the game, and I'm hoping to get my fill of the game within my 10 day trial period; I have other interests and other game titles to check out. Bye, Internetz. Oh and BTW, I chose Horde, Tauren race, shaman class. Grrrr.

I've started the early phases of development for what I hope to be my first IPhone app. Â Thanks to open-source, I now have access to two great frameworks. Â Phonegap is an Object-C framework that allows the developer to create IPhone apps using only HTML5, JS and CSS. Â The other is a JavaScript framework named GameQuery. Â It allows you to make 2D fighters using sprites. Â It also does a lot of the heavy lifting that goes into game programming, namely collision detection. Â Anyways, even though this would move me more to front-end web development, I still find myself working in Objective-C and figuring out the new features of XCode 3.2.

So I recently canceled my GameFly account, I was mostly unhappy with not being able to get access to new releases quickly enough.  So, that has left me with plenty of time to start playing some PS3 titles I had either not played or not played in a while.  This month I've been re-playing Fallout 3, taking the evil route this time, as well as Portal from the Orange Box.  I had bought Silent Hill 5 when it was released but never played it until recently.  I find it satisfying in being an action-survival game.

I've recently started to replaying Oblivion on my PS3. A few months ago I reformatted my PS3 HDD in a failed atempt at fixing my PS3 from what I learned later was a burnt out laser.

The new trailer for Fallout: New Vegas came out yesterday - got me excited about the series again, definately. Bethesda sure does gaming good, and definately elevated RPS gaming to a new art.

Traditional gaming on iPhone never carried over too well. The reason being that a truly submersive gaming requires a high level of control input (pulling of a button and directional-pad combination, hot-keyeing items, etc). And, even though some developers were able to design a traditional game pad on top of main game canvas, the iPhone screen is not entirely forgiving when it comes to space; often times my fingers would slip off the button placement or having my fat fingers obscure some important part of the game screen.
