Blades of Time

Posted on April 26, 2012 by baudattitude

Three years ago, I played and rather enjoyed the ever-so-slightly-questionable 3d brawler X-Blades. It wasn’t a perfect game by any means, or even necessarily very good, but it let me run through some very impressive scenery and beat stuff up … Continue reading →

Posted on November 9, 2009 by baudattitude

So, we have a Mac Mini here that gets used largely as a media server for our AppleTV.  It doesn’t use much power, it doesn’t take up a lot of room, it’s absolutely silent most of the time, these are … Continue reading →
