I ran across this on Kongregate this weekend. While waiting on the last part for my new PC (the CPU of all things…), I used a friend’s laptop and had a great time playing this: Solipskier. The game manages to capture a lot of the aspects of speed, danger, and exhilaration that I imagine real skiers experience. In other words, the opposite of what I experience on the bunny slope.
Speaking of, it’s almost Warren Miller time again…

My truck’s front end has a big scar from where a dumpster ran out in the road and hit me about 3 years ago. That accident caused my A/C to leak coolant until it stopped working and my headlights to go crooked and my radiator to leak (maybe). I ‘fixed’ the radiator with raw egg after a friend of a friend suggested it from watching Mythbusters. It’s been mostly leak-free since February.
Now it’s decided not to start. Tried to jump the damn thing but I think it’s just being ornery. Old people and old cars have that in common. The older it gets the more ‘personality’ it seems to acquire.
My PC is a .. well let’s list this out (those not interested in such things, can go right on by this post):
So other than the case and the PSU, I need to replace this thing. I was debating the AMD X6 1055T, X6 1090T, or Intel Core i920. We’ll see.. Any suggestions?
