It simply does. That is all. Oh, you wanted to know why! Well, if you're still reading and not playing it, there's three reasons why Rock Band is an awesome investment (it's still $169.99) for your Xbox 360, PS3, or (soonly) your Wii. First off, the UI is a lot cleaner than Guitar Hero 3's. Let's look at the two side by side. Rock Ban
I've become quite a twitterholic the past few days. In fact, let's check the stats . Yeah, I've been pretty much addicted the past few days. Why? Well, there's a few things I love about Twitter: Twitter is short, sweet, and easy to use. The concept is simple: 140 characters to tell the world what you're doing. I don't think you can get more simple than tha
This looks awesome! I can't wait!
So can I stay in the basement?
Lately I’ve noticed that a few of my friends have been able to understand or even be aware of the Windows command line. I have a hard time myself pulling myself away from Explorer, but sometimes the command line is just quicker. However, it's a bit drab by default. Today I'm going to show you just how you can pimp yours out a bit.[more] <img style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" src="http://blog.somestuff.org/ima

As always, I'm late to jump on the fail boat, and this time I've decided to do some serious maintenance on my computer. I've had enough of having to rely on System Restore and worrying that I've lost all of my data, or that my computer is on the brink of death. So, I'm going to start maintaining my system more, and that's starting with keeping my hard drive as tidy and speedy as possible. [more] My buddy <a href="http://www
I recently came across this post about a user who decided he had enough of the user-generated news community, Reddit . I've been a Reddit user for a quite some time now, and I've done my share of down voting Ron Paul stories as well submitting silly pictures that have made it onto the front page. Lately though, it's become more than a habit to check this site. [more]I have a very co
I can see why this took you so long! Poorly implemented multiplayer is another huge pet peeve of mine. There's plenty of great games out there that have fantastic single players and then just suck balls when it comes to MP. And yes, someone needs to fix the MMORPG fetch quests. I got so sick of them in WoW. :/
I'm sure that this list could be a lot longer, but I'm going to focus on six issues that really piss me off when I'm playing video games. If games happen to have more than 2 or 3 of these traits they tend to collect dust in my game cases very quickly, or they will do the same at your local game store. So, without further adieu:[more] Not being able to skip cut scenes Sometimes, gamers just want to jump into the action. Yes, I know that designers have

Every few months I try to start up this routine, but this time I'm going to try and keep it. I'm going to post blogs on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It's a strange schedule since most bloggers and web comics seem to update on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, but this works a little better for me with my classes this quarter.

This is a riot.
We definitely need more of these.
I could say this about WPF as a whole, but when things actually work with WPF it's so damn smooth I can't help but feel somewhat accomplished. Nevertheless, I had a real pain trying to get an embedded flash player into my WPF app. Why Flash? Why not...dare I say, Silverlight? Well, I'm building a small app that plays YouTube videos, so obviously Flash makes sense. First, here's some lessons I learned while on this wonderfully frustrating journey:<img class="mce_plugin_wordpress_more" ti
I find these hilarious.
This is hilarious.
I tend to use http://xs.to/ for my short term image hosting. The main site has a bunch of ads on it, but their site makes good thumbnails and you can easily get back to your images that you uploaded and delete them.
We just sneaked in a last minute update, you might have been trying to look at the site as we were uploading some new magic. It should work fine now. :)
RA interviews are always really hectic...at my school they make applicants go through a series of 3 or 4 and they have to do some ridiculous crap...one part of the process is you have to make a college/drawing of what the "perfect resident" is. Yeah, it's a joke. I live off campus now :)
I really need to finish HL2.

Thanks guys and gals. It's going to continue to get better too. :CONGRAT:
So, when are you shipping it? :)
Yes, we didn't forget about those of you who love Windows LiveWriter (WLW) for the new JoeUser, and today I'm going to quickly go over how you can use WLW to publish your blog.
