  PC gaming at an end? Wii gaming renewed!

  Over the past few months my wife and I have since moved out to the country on a small hobby farm. While we love it the only way to get internet is by satilite via Wild Blue. The slow DL speeds put me off of even getting on the computer most the time as it just takes to long (which explain my absence on GS). In short my online PC gaming career has ended for awhile anyway. I have tried COD4, WAW, WOW, Guild Wars with not luck; our lantency is way to high. I have been tempted to try gaming over a G3 netowork to see if it is any better but I'm not holding my breath. Has anyone had any luck gaming over a satilite connection of G3?

  In the mean time I have suddenly become a avid wii fan and must admit am enjoying it. I will say that I am the type of person who will rewearch a game and only buy it if it seems interesting or gets great reviews. So far in the past few months I have played Madworld, Ghostbusters, Punchout, Zelda and am hoping to get Tiger Woods soon. I have yet to test the wifi connection with the wii to see if I can go online with better sucess.

  I wish there were better ways of playing online but to my knowlege there is not (yet). I can only hope that one day in the near future we will get BB or cable out to our farm until then it looks like it's single player PC or wii games for the future.

  Xtrac Pro HS

  For the most part everyone needs a mousepad, the kind you need all depends on what you use it for. Today mousepads come in all shapes, sizes, colors and materials, again it all depends on your needs which kind you will need or want. At the moment I have a mousepad from Xtrac called the Xtrac Pro HS, the HS means Hard Surface.

  I have always been skeptical about mouse pads weather they are worth it or not. I recently broke down and decided to get as I was wearing the finish off my office desk with all the gaming I do. I must admit that this mouse pad is great. It has a super slick plastic top surface that lets the mouse glide effortlessly. The hexagon pattern helps with the mouse tracking.... though the difference is negligible. The rubber-backing will not slip even during your more robust gaming nights.

  Overall I believe the Xtrac makes a good product and for the price you can't beat it.
