Funny clip from CNN showing Tina Fey's Sarah Palin parody on Saturday Night Live vs. the real Sarah Palin interview w/Catie Couric:

Team Fortress 2 Machinima

Haven't played in a while, but this machinima makes me want to fire it up again.

Peter Schiff calling the meltdown

Way back in 2006, while everyone was predicting a great outlook for 2007 and the housing market, Peter Schiff was on FOX's Bulls and Bears calling the meltdown and basically getting bullied and shouted down by the arrogant pinhead cast:



Why would anyone listen to anything else those guys say?

Flash foward and the same pinheads are saying that the bailout is our only way out of this mess. Meanwhile on Bloomberg, Schiff opines that it's going to do more damage in the long run:

Bejeweled Addon for World of Warcraft

I don't understand the depths of evil that must exist in a mind that decides to put one of the most addictive games ever INTO another of the most addictive games ever. Who does that?

Here's my druid, sitting out in group 6 for another M'uru attempt. (Note: Not usually a clicker, but I couldn't figure out how to hot key the 8x8 grid ;) )

Warhammer Online Beta closed

/cry

I had to say goodbye to all my little buddies as the Warhammer Online open beta closed early this morning.

I had a blast in the beta, trying out all the different races and careers, and am looking forward to starting all over again 'for real' on Tuesday (the headstart date for people that ordered the Standard edition.)

Here's a little video of my lowbie Squig Herder getting launched in a catapult up a mountain to fight some dwarves:



Can't wait until Tuesday!

My DSL wants me to quit gaming!

Not sure what's up with CenturyTel around here, but for the past few days, every evening around 8-9pm my DSL takes a dump. This usually happens just about the time I'm sitting down to play some Warcraft, Call of Duty 4 or Team Fortress 2.

Here's the speedtest.net scores from yesterday:

12:26pm 2SEP2008 (Fine)



2:18pm 2SEP2008 (Fine)


5:44pm 2SEP2008 (Fine)


7:31pm 2SEP2008 (Fine)


7:51pm 2SEP2008 (Slipping...)


8:31pm 2SEP2008 (Slipping....)


9:39pm 2SEP2008 (Oh look, twenty minutes to Raid time, yay!)


10:15pm 2SEP2008 (Mid-raid after a few disconnects.)


Of course it's fine when I call during the day, so last night I finally got a hold of someone and jumped through all the hoops (dismantling my network, disconnecting my router, plugging directly into their modem, modem directly into its own phone jack, all other phones unplugged.)

Guess what? Still sucky DSL speed and the problem isn't on my end. I finally have an open ticket, but no ETA on a fix.

Wish me luck!
