Durandal Made Me Write It

If you never take anything too seriously, you will always be at ease.
My Feelings About Diablo 3
Finally I know how to express my thoughts on the matter..

Diablo 2 was one of my favorite games of all time. So much so, that it holds a special place in my gaming heart. There are a few games that reside with Diablo 2. The Marathon trilogy from Bungie, Starcraft, Unreal Tournament '99, Warcraft 1/2, Total Annihilation, Mario Paint, and a few others live together there.

When I heard Diablo 3 was official... I couldn't stop smiling for a long, long time. A long time. Diablo 3!!

Since I can't accurately describe how fantastic this news is, I've decided to let lolcats explain what's going on.



Look at the evil brothers, all evil and stuff. Once I actually get this game, I'll probably be like this guy.



Seriously. Only with a keyboard and mouse.

Anyways, Diablo 3 is my most anticipated game in a really long time. I cannot wait to play with you fine people.

A Rare Glimpse at My Setup (56k)
Please disregard that goofy yellow tone in the pictures...

Please enjoy these photos. First my gaming, then my general computing setups.



From left to right, subwoofer, Pablo (my utility furniture), HDTV, the new tv stand I got at a ridiculous sale price, 360, surround sound receiver, and the racing wheel.



Here we have (from left to right) my old iMac (lampshade variety), MacBook Pro, Wacom tablet, backup drive, and phone I hardly use. Oh, and my thermostat. This is where I perform my modly duties when I'm not in the office.

I hope you enjoyed this peek into my home life. These photos are for nothing more than your enjoyment. Please excuse the quality of the photos, my little cell phone does the best it can in low light situations. w00t.

Lessons From Mac - Deliciously Inexpensive Lunches
Episode 1 of what could be the most useful bloggings in the history of bloggings...

I say to you, oh fair people who no longer live with your parents, how do you afford to eat lunch? Do you do it with peanut butter and jelly? Tomato soup and crackers? Pre-packaged meat products and mustard? I say to thee, stop your eating foolishness and pay heed to my words, for they are wise.

I am about to teach you how to eat a weeks worth of lunches (and maybe more!) for under 15USD. Not only that, but it will be healthy and variable depending on your tastes! Lets begin.

What you will need to buy from your local grocery store:

- A whole rotisserie chicken
- A large loaf of bread from the bakery, preferably soft
- A bag of lettuce
- Mayo

Preparing the Chicken:

1. Remove the meat from the rotisserie chicken in small (nearly shredded) pieces, and place it into a medium sized tupperware, then place it in the fridge.
2. That's it!

Making Lunch:

1. Cut two similar sized pieces of bread from the loaf purchased at the store.
2. Sparingly use mayo on one half of the bread.
3. Place lettuce from the bag purchased at the store onto the side with the mayo.
4. Now put pieces of chicken on top of the lettuce
5. Apply the second piece of bread.
6. Enjoy!

Making it your Own:

You could always choose to use another condiment, mayo is not the only option. Also, lettuce is easily substituted by tomato or any other vegetable you feel is fitting for a sandwich. The kind of bread you use is also up to you, though I prefer white or potato loaves directly from the bakery. Not only are they inexpensive, but they're also much more flavorful than pre-wrapped loaves.

I hope you have enjoyed this quick and easy (and delicious) lunch lesson. This can last you an entire week, and if you're on a budget, who can say no to chicken sandwiches made with (what tastes like) homemade ingredients?!

Breathtaking Mars (56k Warning)
Prepare for some of the most amazing photos you will see all year...

I'm not sure what else to say other than, please enjoy the next series of photos I stumbled upon during my surfing of the web. These really are beautiful shots from the surface of Mars.

These are compliments of Boston.com. Hit that link for the high resolution photos of what I've shown you, because they're even more breathtaking than what you've already seen.

Just another one of those things I had to share with you.
