Sup guys, thought I'd share this ol' blog of mine with the forums. It covers my personal trials with keeping a computer running, my thoughts on old school/retro gaming, and just general crap about whatever takes my fancy.
It's not elaborate, I don't really offer much in the way of discussion points - think of this more of a public diary where I can share my thoughts on subjects from Minecraft griefing to Forza 4 soccer, from idiots who think they're more important than me to finally getting back into MMO's.

The latest entry is a review of Daytona USA on XBLA and while I do try to look at it without rose-tinted glasses, I think I fail miserably.
Still, feel free to drop by and have a read. I'm not anything special but I do hope I put a smile on your face should you look through the past entries.

The Gaming MoD - retro to modern, console to MMO, I blog about it if it's a game and I'm interested in it. Yes, I play games other than Eve and I don't care if you think I'm wrong.

Small request: Can you bump your font color one tic more towards white?

Done. The whole page is a sodding mess and needs touching up at some point anyways, but then again I never did give much of a crap about aesthetics.

Much better, thank you.

And it looks better than a lot of stuff I see.

I would recommend mirroring your background image too, as your title is trying to blend in with the picture.

I've altered the alignment of the image to make the title more prominent and altered the font of the titles too. Your feedback is appreciated, btw.

Latest entry: Is it right?

My thoughts on the Mittani issue. Guaranteed the CFC won't like it one bit.

Latest post: [Eve] Moving Swiftly On...

Me and the RL mates kill someone in Eve. Rather than kill us back, he takes this strange action.

Two months after that outburst at Fanfest, let's take a look at whether the game is broken or not.

Latest post: [Eve] A Carebear's Look On... BS

One of my underlings asked my advise about what battleships are good for missioning and PVP. So here's a nice wall of text for him.

Latest post: [Preview] F1 Online: The Game

The NDA has been lifted on the newest F1 game, which has now finished its closed beta. I played the beta quite extensively, so felt like sharing my thoughts on the upcoming title.
