New Site Addition: Board game list

Posted on February 21st, 2006 in Gaming by geek

I play a lot of board games.  I like them.  Though I don’t like most of the “classics” like Monopoly.  I perfer games for gamers, ones that have strategy and depth, rather than coinflips.  So I decided to add to my site, a list of games that I know how to play and own, just in case somewhere out there there’s a gamer looking for a game; he can look me up and we can set up a gaming session or something.  I built the list off the top of my head so it will be evolving.

New Trick for those of you with Dual monitors!

While I’m at home, doped up because I threw out my back, I found a neat trick.  I run dual montiors off a ATI Radeon X800 card.  When World of Warcraft first came out, if you tried to load WoW with the dual montiors on, it would screw up the frame buffers and things wouldn’t work right.  Well sometime between here and there, they fixed that.  I can now run the game in 1 monitor, and have useful things like my Ventrilo window and my AIM and a map or something on the other.  Really makes the time sinky things in the game, like waiting for slow poke group members or flying between Moonglade and Thunder Bluff less boring.

If only my server (Silver Hand) wasn’t down for emergency maintainence…

Sigh… I’ve been bad… I should have been updating this thing… but I was having too much fun and stuff…. well. Not really. Been in a lot of pain. You see… I injured my back on Tuesday; straight up threw the thing out. By the way… this really really hurts. Don’t do it.
