This is a pretty awesome video. Very well made with great lyrics. Hayek for the win.

Added a 20 second cool-down to Word of Glory. I am not amused. People are saying that Retribution Pally is dead for PvP. Player Vs Player is what has been keeping me around. I think it is time to take a break and see if this gets changed in a future patch.

In other news, I am now considering getting back into Planetside. Anyone want to join?

So I just realized that I never mentioned that I have started uploading my mixes to Mixcould. Only a few of them are up so far, but I am in the process of getting all of the old ones up as well. Some of them I want to go back and do the mixing over again though. The first couple that I did were pretty rough. Anyway, here is one of the newer ones:

Support indie game development and help charity in the process. The Humble Frozenbyte Bundle is running for 7 more days. Check it out while you can. It is worth getting for Trine alone.

Pay what you want. If you bought these four games separately, it would cost around $50 but we’re letting you set the price!

All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

We don’t use DRM. When you buy these games, they are yours. Feel free to play them without an internet connection, back them up, and install them on all of your Macs and PCs freely. There is no time-limit on your downloads.

You can support charity. Choose exactly how your purchase is divided: Between Frozenbyte, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or the Child’s Play Charity. Also, if you like this deal, a tip to the Humble Bundle itself would be much appreciated!

So the mailman that comes to my work office was telling me about his son’s broken laptop. Apparently a friend of his son shot the screen with a BB gun, putting a huge crack down the screen. He told me that Toshiba wanted to charge him $400 to replace the screen. I told him I could do a lot better then that.

The hardest part about replacing the laptop’s screen was actually getting the replacement screen. The first site we ordered the replacement from canceled the order the next day and said the part was out of stock. The second site charged the credit card and said the screen was shipped, but after a week of waiting we called them up to find out that they were actually out of stock and never shipped anything else despite them charging the credit card. The third site we ordered from charged his card and shipped the screen, but never provided any tracking information. Emails to their customer support went unanswered, and the website didn’t offer a phone number. After twelve days of waiting nervously it finally arrived. It was shipped from Sweden via US Mail. The mailman delivered his own package to the office.

Replacing the screen only took about two hours. Since I was disassembling the top half of the laptop anyway, I decided to take apart the other half to clean it out with compressed air. After blowing all of the fans out, it was a simple matter to remove the old screen and replace it with the new one. At only $175 for the screen and $50 for my labor he had a working laptop again. That sure beats the $400 Toshiba was asking for out of warranty repairs.
