I just realized that the website is now 3 years old. I started this website on October 17th, 2005 using an old PC is my basement. Initially I didn’t really have any plans for the site. It was just going to be a place where I would make an occasional post. I was mostly going to use it for learning PHP and messing around with various web related things. However, I am really happy with how it came out. Looking back, there is a lot of interesting content on here. I just started reviewing again, so hopefully there will be a lot more to come.

That’s right; this website is two years old today! When I first started posting, I really didn’t expect it to last long. Originally this website was just a test to see if I could host a simple website off of an old outdated pc, but I quickly got addicted to posting here. Now I really enjoy posting. Gaming is a huge hobby for me, so it’s nice to have a place where I can post news and my opinions. So “thanks” to all of you who still come by and read after two years. Hopefully this will still be around in another year.

Jon Stewart did a five-minute segment which lampooned the media frenzy surrounding the rampage. Coming in for a brief mention were the dubious claims that video games may have sparked the killings.

One of the cool things about the Xbox 360 is how you can customize it to make it your own. One of the easiest ways to do that is to download a new dashboard theme that will change the background of all the system blades as well as the guide. However, there is one major problem when it comes to buying new themes: you can’t preview what they will look like before buying them. Microsoft offers small images of what they look like on their site, but it doesn’t give you a good idea of what they will look like with the dashboard interface.

DashboardThemes.com solves this problem. This recently launched website allows you to get a good preview of what themes will look like before you make the purchase. The website is well designed, and already has a good amount of themes on it. So if you are thinking about buying a new theme, definitely check out the website first. Hopefully Microsoft will eventually give you the ability to preview themes on your Xbox 360 before buying them. But until then, DashboardThemes.com works well.

Well, I just noticed that this site has been up for a little over a year. I am actually surprised that I still post and that I post as much as I do. I never really expected this site to amount to much, but I am actually quite happy with it. There is a lot of original content here (such as my reviews) that I am proud of. Not to mention that people actually read my site (even if they don’t comment).

Anyway, thanks to all of you who bother to come here and read what I write. Hopefully this will still be around for another year.

With school back in session, I have been having less time then I would like to do things like post here. I have a few things that I have been planning on posting, but have just not gotten around to doing it. Hopefully I can start to regularly post again soon. I have recently finished a few games, so expect to see reviews for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, King Kong, and Saints Row. I have already started writing the Wind Waker review, so that should be done first. For some reason I also feel like writing a System Shock 2 review, so I am going to try to find some time to play though that game again (perhaps co-op with someone). If anyone here has System Shock 2 and would like to play though it again with me, just let me know.

I decided to add a print button for some more printer friendly posts. Hopefully everything works correctly, but if you have any issues just let me know. The print button is located after the comments button at the end of each post.

So I have been updating my site for the past few days and made some pretty nice changes. The first thing I did was upgrade the flash video player that I use. Besides looking a little bit different, it now has a volume control on it. Then I added ajax comments which allows users to post comments quickly without leaving or refreshing the page. Last I set up inline ajax comments which display inline comments on the main page using ajax. That one took a while to get working since I had to edit a few pages of php code to get it to behave the way I wanted it to and to get it to display on all pages. If you find any bugs please let me know.

Normally I don’t post these things because they are pretty lame, but this page is sort of fun. I got 12 without cheating before getting bored with it. How many can you get?
