Blog Games Site Updates

O_o

So!

Y’know, sometimes I really wish I had some sort of system of updating everything at once…not necessarily with the same stuff but just something that appears and makes me update stuff…

But alas, there isn’t.

So anyway, my exams are on their way in and as per usual the faculty has decided to lay on the coursework. So before the exams start I have 3 pieces of coursework to hand in. Now for once I happened to be on top of my work and I have one of the pieces pretty much done however with all this coursework going on how am I meant to get the time to revise?!

It’s so stupid.

Anyway, on the webcomic front, its defiantely up and coming so watch this space, I’m sure it will be here soon.

Also, I have been playing a fair bit of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 recently and there really is such a good change from the first one. The online play especially – the system is easy to use and understand. Even though there is only 2-3 game modes, they don’t really get old. And the unlock system is so much less complciated – I actually know how to unlock things, how I get points and how to rank up which i didn’t really understand in the first game.

And blowing the shit clean out of everything never gets old.

The game feels snappier to play too – I often felt the oldone really didnt respond well, you pulled a trigger and a second later (or so it felt) the gun fired – and that was both on and offline but so far I have been impressed with the game engine.

And the grahpics – I have this game for PC and 360 and the graphics are fantastic on both. Well the PC is much better than the 360 when turned up full with AA and texture filtering but the 360 version is also fantastic considering the hardware it’s running on.

So anyway thats all from me for now!

Blog Hardware Site Updates

Server Troubles + Thermaltake Level 10

So the database server has been under “excessive load” according to Streamline so I have been unable to get onto the site in days, however the problem has now been fixed, and I now have a redundancy I place lest it happen again…Huurah for that.

Right now I am also surfing the new Wi-Fi system that’s being deployed at Queens University (where I study) which, although it was a bit complicated to hook up my MacBook Pro to, is actually rather speedy and smooth (although they have blocked MSN ports :( ).

On the web-comic front – there are some in the works I am told, although I’m not sure if its going to be one artist or two yet.

And just to give you all something to drool over, Deuwin (my web goto-guy and my very good friend) pointed this out too me the other day…and boy was I found wanting…

Images taken from the exclusive review at MaximumPC, because I can’t afford one…

I think this is an awesome design. I can’t wait to see what the cooling potential of a case like this is, because with individual heat-source isolated, directed airflow will be so much easier, and hot-spots should be practically non-exisistant, or at least have no effect on the case ambient temperature.

I wish I had more money…

Blog Site Updates

The First Proper Post

´Yes, lots of capital letters to show off how important this really is! Part of me was even considering deleting the test posts but they do a good job of padding out the overall site.

Been tweaking the CSS a little bit and was having a problem with some of the PNG images on the site, so if you see anything that doesn’t look like it should be there (ie left hand corners) please let me know.

I’m debating whether to open the site to registrations…Like I can see the point in having registered users when it comes to comments and stuff but I also know a lot of people just cannot be bothered at all. The upshot of this is I might get people who want to blog as well…meaning we might have more updates and more traffic…

Anyway – Down to the Meat and Potatoes of it. We have been away for a while – there was some debate about way the site was going to go. At the end of it we decided that we really didn’t have time to try and maintain a full games, movies and tech site with out student lifestyles becoming increasingly busy (with actual work!!) so were gonna stick with the blog type layout for a while. No doubt there will still be plenty of games, movies, science and tech news mixed in with some comic books and whatever else we find interesting.

So enjoy the new Super-Zero website and keep a close eye because I have a feeling there might be some awesome changes on the way soon ;-) I leave you with something I am rather excited about…
