    Your first PC Gaming Rig

    I first gaming rig was ~$1700 and had a first generation AMD64 processor AND an overly elaborate water cooling system. I was in heaven. I used to build my own back when I was hardcore gaming. I had a beast that I originally configured in 2003 up until just a few months ago. It started...

    What's the meaning of your username?

    Inklewert was the result of a frustrated attempts to get a yahoo username that wasn't take in the early 2000s. It is a jumble of letters that sounded vaguely like a word. Also it resulted in 0 findings when i searched for it on altavista. Now, I have had it for over a decade and have used it...

    Life Just Took An Upswing (Share Yours)

    My dissertation adviser gave me back a draft of my proposal that actually had revision comments on it instead of various red Xs and vague directions to "re-write". I've never been so happy to get blasted with red ink in my entire life.

    Mississippi forgot to outlaw slavery...seriously.

    There are dated laws on the books in all states, counties, and cities. Even the federal codes aren't updated as often as they should. Why this is news worthy I don't understand. In New Mexico its still legal to shoot Indians so long as you do so in protection of your covered wagon. Living in...

    Buying my first handgun, looking for suggestions and input

    Agreed. If you are buying a M9 new then be prepared for a long break in period. However, once you get used to the Beretta you will never go back. I regularly shoot both the 92fs and XD40 (they make 9mm too) and while the steel 92fs is far heavier it provides, in my opinion, a vastly superior...

    Characters everyone else hates that you likes.

    I liked Bill from the Left 4 Dead. However, for some reason whenever playing nobody I played with liked him. It was curious because its not like the game had any character development so how could they know what Bill was even like? I guess using that logic there is no good reason why I do...

    Western RPGs

    Vampire the Masquerade series is certainly one of the best video game series (if its only 2 does it count as a series?) ever created. They are a little older but still very very good. The entire fallout series is good for its time. It really depends on your play style, JRPG and WRPG are not...

    Video-Game character you'd bring for a drink

    how about the maiden in black from Demon's Souls. She spends all day tending to the candles and could use a break! I wonder if she would let me touch the demon inside her.
