I bought this X220 for $50 a year ago at my local computer salvage dealer. Similar models currently sell for over $200 on Ebay so it was a very good deal. This computer is 9 years old, but still just as usable as when it was new with a nearly $2000 price tag. This X220 …
I grew up loving the Bond franchise. I started with the Goldeneye N64 game which lead me to watch all of the movies. Which was easy back then because there were 007 movie marathons on basic cable channels all the time. I heard about Skyfall many years ago, but I didn’t see it at the …
I just finished Final Fantasy 8 for the first time. I played the remastered version on PC with an Xbox 360 controller. It’s difficult to give a firm review score on a game like this because it is both terrible and completely met my expectations. First I’ll start with what I liked about it. The …
I always enjoy playing video games during the holidays so I thought I’d play a new one from my too large list of unplayed Steam games. In comes Emily is Away Too which is an indy game reminiscent of AOL chats from the late 90s and early 2000’s. Since I came of age during this …

I’ve been experimenting with various supplements. I’ve tried taking Magnesium Oxide and zinc as they’re supposed to help with workouts, Magnesium is also supposed to improve anxiety, if you have a deficiency, which many people do. I suspect it does help to a limited degree, although I am not a scientific study and it’s difficult …
It was a beautiful day in May two years ago when I stumbled upon a pile of old computer parts in a parking garage. It felt like it was Christmas again. I don’t mean adult Christmas, but child Christmas, when you could still feel the magic of the season and couldn’t fall asleep on Christmas …
This is a review of the Haier 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner HPB08XCM which I purchased refurbished off of Ebay for $185. You can also buy this unit for for much more money at places like the Home Depot or Target. Even though this is a refurbished model, I really can’t tell that it’s had …
