All Hail The Techno Viking

When Halo and The Orange Box gamers need a break, who do we follow to the streets. Techno Viking is who. All Hail the Greatest Techno Viking ever! The Techno Viking would like to thank Mondo for the water.

Mondo Gets Fired Up for Guitar Hero III

For more humble insight from Mondo, watch him explain his LIVE setup.

2130 Vitals are STRONG!

With humble beginnings the 2130 has crested 100,000 + gamerscore. Congrats. See Clan Vitals to the right.

Viva La 2130! Another big thanks to Rossco for hosting last weekends SLO LAN and it was huge meeting rr1ryno too. Meeting quiet Mitch and his quiet brothers was quiet. Thanks for coming over guys. Also big thanks to Sharkie and Swede Snake for making the journey. It was a blast. We'll have to start talking about the next LAN soon. I know Free is going to have a few more pictures going up soon as I didn't take many and missed getting Shark and Swede pics.

Insane Geek Cred

This one earned me a +10 in stupid cell phone tricks.

So, I just got my new hotness, the ATT Tilt, before we left Portland with full 3G (fast) network support. They told me this puppy was a great phone, but leave it to me to test the limits of it.

The phone connects great with the computer for browsing and getting things done, with the phone or lappy. Out here at my parents place in Modesto, they haven't discovered high-speed Internet. It's a farm thing. All we have here is dial-up, so the phone has been great because we've at least had "Edge" network speeds (for geek inclined: 256Kbit down, 128Kbit up).

Then I got sneaky...a crossover cable, some network config on the lappy, and the monster was born.

There it is my friends. Phone to PC to Xbox and Xbox Live. Granted, the latency is WAY too high (at the time of this writing: 600ms, 207Kbit down, 109Kbit up), but I was able to download a couple small things. If I were in a 3G area, I might give gaming a try (in SJ last night I had a 130ms ping with 1.2 MBit down).

Very cool, and as Andrea says, "very geeky".

See you all tomorrow when the network will hopefully be the least of our issues! :)

No LAN for Tenlin, She Made this Video Instead

Make sure and watch long enough for the dance moves.

Somebody Invite this Guy to the LAN, He's Lonely

Two new 10K Club members

A slap on the back and "wow that's a lot of time you got there" to the two newest members of the 10,000 gamerscore club, Timo and ArrstdDvlpment. Both earned their ten-thousandth gamerscore point while playing Halo 3 (appropriate) in the past week.

Congrats!
