I encounter about one intractable Yak per week that just makes me blow my top and vent… Click this link to continue reading the remainder of the post

I returned late on Friday evening from Game Developers Conference 2005 held in San Francisco, CA. I had fun, though I am beginning to have misgivings about the direction that it is heading in. There were a number of problems with GDC this year. The food was lacklustre. Many panels were insipid.

Don’t buy AlienWare Area 51-m or Sager laptops! Here’s why: I’ve owned an Alienware Area 51-m and a Sager NP5560Ultra both purchased within 2 months of each other.
