Gaming in the Classroom
Posted 12/03/09

"Gaming in the classroom shouldn't be a foreign concept to anyone born within the past 30 years -- and no, I'm not talking about covertly playing a few rounds of Tetris while your teacher drones on about the less interesting parts of the Roman Empire. At some point in history, someone decided that the very thing taking over children's lives could be re-engineered for educational purposes, and for kids of my generation -- the so-called Nintendo Generation -- this meant being whisked away to the computer lab once a week to play games designed by people more interested in explicit education than anything remotely close to entertainment. So, after dusting off the already-ancient Apple IIs, we would munch numbers, letters, and occasionally develop dysentery on the picturesque Oregon Trail..."

Reading an article like this just makes me want to go back to school. Doesn't hurt that the lead image is so cool too, right?

"It's a good idea to have a strategy in place in case of emergencies. If your hard drive tosses you errors, behaves badly or doesn't even appear, what to do? If programs crash at random, you need to be ready. You can prepare for this by creating a bootable flash drive containing some diagnostic and repair utilities."This tutorial shows you how to do it. Very fascinating. I may have to put one of these together for my own use.

Game Madness

Amazon is all about bargains for the holiday season and it's catalog of video games is no exception. I found today Dragon Age by Bioware for $39.82, which is over $20 off! Additionally, I was able to find great deals on Uncharted 2 among other games as well. If you are a gamer, today might be the day to shop for yourself. You've been good this year, right? Get going.

Pandemic Studios Says Goodbye
Posted 11/24/09
Last week Electronic Arts put a bullet in the head of Pandemic Studios, putting many of their 200 staff out of work a week before Thanksgiving. Today Pandemic ex-staffers let EA know how they feel. Maybe the publisher should be happy that all they lost was a printer in the mass firings of developers skilled at making games with destructible environments.
