Traces of the Wrath cinematic found ingame {WoW}
Aug 22nd 2008 4:53PM Maybe Sindragosa, behind a Scourge army, shows up to attack Stormwind after laying waste to Darnassus and Ogrimmar. Varian Wrynn leaps into action but the forces of the Alliance are outmatched and all appears lost. Then, a force of Aldor and Scryer Paladins escorted by some Naaru come through the Dark Portal and save the day. In the aftermath, Varian puts together a Northrend expedition to take the fight to Arthas.
District attorney on trial for building monster gaming rig with state money {Engadget}
Mar 14th 2008 10:11AM There's definitely more going on here than meets the eye. What does the FBI give a crap about ONE overspecced PC bought with (probably state or local) government dollars. Probably the smallest waste of money by a government employee I've ever heard of. Whoever's planning to run against this guy or his boss in the next election must have friends in high places. Maybe while the FBI is in Texas they can look in on that district court where all the patent trolls file their lawsuits. I wonder how much money the DA's there have to piss away?
Making the PvE-PvP break {WoW}
Mar 3rd 2008 8:42PM Make respecs free (at least periodically) so toons can switch between PvE and PvP specs as needed. Problem mostly solved.
Playing with your mouse {WoW}
Mar 1st 2008 6:24PM I have the bottom-left action bar setup to use mouse clicks and the top-left to use 1-0,-,=. I use the scrollwheel click and the 2 thumb back/forward buttons on my Logitech G5 plus combinations of shift (with pinky finger) and alt (with thumb), to get all 12 slots bound. This lets me keep the 3 middle fingers of my left hand on movement buttons during combat. My main is a Druid and I use 1-5 to control forms and the bar auto-scrolls to a different form-specific bar automatically, no mods required.
I should bind something to the + and - buttons on my mouse since I never adjust sensitivity in game but I haven't needed to yet.
ABC.com's free online HD player is live {Engadget HD}
Jul 25th 2007 7:31PM Video looks great and the HD light stays lit for me (on FiOS in central MD) but the sound is choppy and desynched... Probably an issue with my aging desktop. Video is not nearly as good as an HD channel but an acceptable backup if I forget to DVR something.
Verizon hikes up monthly FiOS DVR charge {Engadget HD}
May 21st 2007 10:40AM The letter I got made it sound like I wouldn't have to worry about it until my annual contract was up. At which point I'll just threaten to switch back to Comcast anyway to get a lower rate. Not that I want to. Even though the Verizon Moto DVR still has issues, it's still far-and-away better than my old Comcast one. And maybe the rate hike is so they can afford newer better boxes... Yeah, wishful thinking.
FIOS adds three new HD channels in Florida {Engadget HD}
Apr 19th 2007 2:11PM I also live in AA county jeff and I noticed all three channels were up Monday night... Still glad I switched from Comcast although I miss getting standard cable channels without a STB.
