Garry’s Mod Mythbusters Rocket Sled Episode

July 11th, 2009  |  366 views | Published in Gaming, Videos

I decided to make a Mythbusters spinoff in Garry’s Mod.  I think I chose the most perfect episode that Jamie and Adam did.  It was the Rocket Sled episode.  In this episode, they try to accomplish to vaporize a car which is hit with a rocket sled at 650+MPH.  I think their real video can tell more than I can explain.

So I made a remake of it in Garry’s Mod with a very similar track and wired it up with multiple angle cameras and all the goodies.  Hope you guys might like it.  It’s a one man deal and it took quite some time to build and plan everything out.

It has to be watched in HD to be enjoyed fully.

Product Review: Logitech G7 Wireless Laser Mouse

June 29th, 2008  |  909 views | Published in Comprehensive Review, Electronics, Gaming, Technology

After 3 months of usage, I am finally writing a review for this great product.  My previous mouse, a Logitech MX600, was not good enough for what I was doing, I needed more raw power and precision for my mouse.  The mouse styling is nice and sleek.  The curvature of the mouse is perfect for ergonomics and it feels like the mouse was molded for your hand.  When you have sweaty hands, this mouse seems to “wicks” the sweat away so that it always stays nice and dry while doing your intense gaming or work.

My $400 ($452) Dollar Budget Gaming Computer Configuration

June 21st, 2008  |  2,928 views | Published in Electronics, Gaming, Graphics, How To's, Sweet Deals, Technology

Sub $500 dollar gaming computer.

This configuration is for people who don’t have the cold hard cash to buy a $2k+ computer or for those who like to do some casual gaming while having the horsepower to do their workstation work.  I present to you, my friends, [laatedaa]?’s $400 dollar build.  It works great and fine as I just built one myself for a friend and it runs modern games without a hitch.  Also it is “future-proof” meaning that you can always upgrade when these parts go haywire.  I took many things into consideration when looking for these products and what goes with what.  I found out that this combination of products works best.

In the beginning, I was debating whether or not to use AMD w/ ATi, AMD w/ nVidia, Intel w/ nVidia, or Intel w/ ATi.  I found out the most cost-effective, or as many of you guys like to call it, BANG for the buck, I went with an Intel / nVidia path.  It worked out fine as Intel’s processors do a strong doing while nVidia’s high end cards are not very pricey, although this particular model is almost half of the $400.

My 1 Minute of Fame on DL.TV

June 6th, 2008  |  251 views | Published in Cool Stuff, Gaming, Videos

DL.TV is a tech show where at least 100,000 people watch their podcast when it comes out Thursday. They have a Tech Pic section where viewers can submit their pictures of whatever cool tech things they have.

I decided it would be cool to recreate the DL.TV set in Garry’s Mod and take pictures and send it to them. Low and Behold! They feature my (crappy) Garry’s Mod DL.TV show set on their podcast! I am soo happy!!!
