Scam alert ~ E-mail

November 20, 2007 :: Posted by - Gnar :: Category - Uncategorized

My friend received this email recently and well honestly it looks totally bogus to me. I know if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, but here are the few things I see right away that are wrong with this:

  1. Why would a Spanish official be using a YAHOO address?
  2. + (N_3324_0667_22) This country code looks up +324 is Nigeria
  3. No idea this looks as crooked as a three dollar bill to me.

Space Shuttle Atlantis Launch

November 11, 2007 :: Posted by - Gnar :: Category - Uncategorized

  This photo is pretty cool, but honestly if you have never seen a Space Shuttle launch in person it is a truly amazing event and it should be on everyone’s to do list of things they want to accomplish before they leave the planet earth.

   When we watched it launch a few years ago, it was biker week and couldn’t find a hotel room close to the launch site but even watching this event from a distance, it is definitely an awe inspiring event. It is amazing the power you can feel resonating from the Space Shuttle during a launch.

Yet Another Abandonware Free DOS game by Microporse… Master of Magic.

November 07, 2007 :: Posted by - Gnar :: Category - Free Games

Master of Magic: MOM a turn based strategy game from Microprose the orginal release date on this game was in 93’. The game was developed by Simtex, While many reveiews sited this game as being civilization in a fantasy setting. There was much more to it then just a Civ template on a fantasy world. Master of Magic had a very expansive and unique spell system for it’s time.

Also the random map generator on this game allowed for a vast amount of Re-playability. You build up your empire in Master of Magic with settlers that go out and expand on terrain they can settle on. This game was a very fun game to play, If you are looking for a Free Dos game that is a sleeper in my book not many people knew about this game but it is a true gem in the rough for it’s release period. Make sure you upgrade to version 1.31 patch for Master of Magic as earlier releases of this game had some bugs in gameplay.

I came across this site on Gaming PC’s, this product seems to be a great alternative to the Alienware I reviewed in my article: To Build or Buy a gaming PC.

I love this Matrix dig from the Uberclok site

Free Game of the week—Retro space games, MOO

November 03, 2007 :: Posted by - Gnar :: Category - Free Games

That’s right Master of Orion! This game absolutely ROCKED, this game was developed by Simtex and published by Microprose. For the longest stretch back in my DOS/Win95 game playing days most of my favs came from MPS. MOO was released in 1993, it was a turn based strategy game. This game was the typical 4x(explore, exploit, exterminate, expand) space game but there was something addictive and replayable about this game.

DO NOT CALL List Under review… Will not expire

November 02, 2007 :: Posted by - Gnar :: Category - Money matters

  The National (DNC) Registry is on hold from expiring until either Final Congressional or Agency Action has decided whether or not to make the list permanent. Every since I can remember our phone was ringing off the hook at dinner time with companies spamming to sell their product or idea. When we first signed up for this list there was a significant drop in calls produced by these autodialing super computer generated monster lists.
