SciFi Woes

// October 20th, 2004 // No Comments » // Entertainment, SciFi, Television

Finished up the Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars mini-series last night. It was really enjoyable seeing the cast back together and the story was pretty damn good considering they only had 4 hours to use.

I couldn’t help but think why the heck did SciFi take this show off the air?? But then again I could say the same for Showtime abandoning StarGate SG:1 and Jeremiah, Babylon 5 being shwn the door, etc. So many examples of SciFi shows being dumped with the programming that eventually supplanting it being subpar and in most cases doing worse than what was there before.

If you were a fan of Farscape be sure to catch the full 4 hour replay this coming Sunday, it’s worth it. Also keep an eye on the Save Farscape webpage for details on what you can do to contribute to more mini-series being made.

Out of Hiding

I’ve been absent this week because i’m lazy!

Quick update. I’ve been playing a lot of Counter Strike: Source, Tribes: Vengeance, and Kohan II so the new video card has been getting a workout.

I’ve had some problems with lockups so reverted back to the released version of drivers from NVida. I’m not quite sold that its fixed and the only other problem could be heated related. If thats the case i’m gonna be a pissed because the 5900 ran fine.

So we’ll see how it all plays out. BTW can you believe all the good games currently available? I still have yet to play Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 could be coming soon. So many games, so little time..

My new graphics card!

Finally got a Geforce 6800u installed in my system today courtesy of my cousin. When I went to pick up the card he had CounterStrike Source going which brought back a lot of old maps and memories so of course when I got home I had to download it from Valve. So far i’m slightly disappointed with the strafing and during the last bit of playing the game started locking up for no apparent reason. So before calling it a night I started downloading the Half-Life 2 preload portions.

I’ll figure out (or at least attempt too) whats going on with the sound issues that lock up the game tomorrow…
