I mentioned last week about a problem I was having with getting Age Of Mythology to load due to an “Initialization Failed” error during the loading of the “game database” screen. I contacted MacSoft technical support and the reason was related to a partition I had on my system that was named “Data”. Apparently this [...]
Nintendo recently released a compilation disc containing four previous Zelda games; The Legend of Zelda (NES), Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES), The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64), and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (N64). Noticeably missing is Link to the Past for the SNES. I’d guess the main reason for [...]
Thanksgiving is tomorrow here in the US, commonly celebrated by having a large 19 pound turkey and lots of other foods I don’t eat in order to give “thanks”. Being that I’m vegan, I don’t eat birds, cows, or other creatures. I’m also not going to eat a Tofurky. Give me a break. If I [...]

Aiden is ten, count them, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 months old today. Boy… he’s moving fast. Not only growing but he can walk and he’s not afraid to run either. He was walking really well a couple weeks ago but now he’s really moving. In honor of his tenth month [...]
Nearly a year after Age Of Mythology shipped for the PC to “critical acclaim”:http://avault.com/reviews/review_temp.asp?game=aomyth, the Macintosh version is now available. Being the huge RTS (Real Time Strategy) fan that I am, I picked up the “Mac version”:http://www.apple.com/games/articles/2003/09/ageofmythology/ the day it showed up at my local Mac retailer. Gleefully opening the game box, careful of course [...]
The one thing that has always bugged me about my iPod is that I’m screwed if something happened to it. Being a $400 device, that’s not cool. There is a warranty but it only provided 90 day tech support and a one year hardware warranty. Apple recently rolled out AppleCare support for the iPod which [...]
“Question Of The Day: Do you care?”:http://nslog.com/archives/2003/11/21/qotd_halo.php Of course I care. I bought an XBox just to play Halo and I swore I wouldn’t. You can complain all you want about Bungie selling the farm to the borg, you can tell me about how great Halo looked at Macworld 1999 running on a Yosemite G3, [...]
Got the new “Mario Kart:Double Dash!! for GameCube”:http://www.mariokart.com/launch/index.html today and my initial impressions are positive. Krista and I played for a few hours tonight unlocking some of the various extra karts. I know there is plenty more to unlock including racers, courses, cups, and more karts. The gameplay reminds me a lot of Mario Kart [...]
“Erik’s”:http://nslog.com “Question Of The Day (QOTD)”:http://nslog.com/archives/2003/11/18/qotd_theming.php yesterday was “Do you like and use theming?“. In a nutshell, yes. Way back in the OS 8/9 days I used a program called “Kaleidoscope”:http://www.kaleidoscope.net/ to perform theme changing duties. I’d even go so far to changing my system appearance by using ResEdit to hack the Finder and change [...]
