Fallout 3

Everyone knows what Fallout 3 is. For those who don't know, I'll tell you what it is right now.

Fallout 3 is an intense RPG where you are taken to what would have become DC "Wasteland" if the fallout in the 60's did happen. The year is 2077, and a lot of what's left of DC is destroyed. You start out in a vault, but later your father escapes from it for no reason. The overseer wants you dead, so your only choice is to go after your father and escape the vault. You are then out in the Wasteland, and you now have to find your father. Here's me demoing a weapon in Fallout 3, called the "Experimental MIRV":

Clean any gadget super well

Super easy, and works with any gadget. it's okay if you get this in a crack (hopefully just not too much). And this works amazingly well. Here you go:
Mix the following together:
6 sprays cinch
1 teaspoon of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
1.5 tablespoons water

After mixing, just take a cloth or cotton swab and dip it on in. Tada! Wipe down any surface with it and it will dry quickly (due to the alcohol) and make it shiny (due to the cinch). If you are wondering what the water does, it dilutes the mix so it doesn't dry as fast and isn't so powerful. Also, the rubbing alcohol would completely evaporate far too quickly if you didn't have it.
I learned this mix when I had some grunge and even pencil marks on my bamboo (ey, it uses a pen!).
I knew that cinch wouldn't do it, and that alcohol would evaporate too fast. So I added them together and added a little water and dipped a cloth and lightly wiped the surface. Everything was completely clean in an instant. It also worked great on my env2 and my iPod touch. Worked great on my monitors and even the case of my MacBook. Also worked great on my mouse and keyboard.

Sergey's new computer! (for now) REVISITED

Hey everyone,


It's been a while since I did a post, so here's one!

So as some of you might have read, my ambitions might have been a little bit too big. After finding out what my budget for building a new PC was for me, I instantly decided to drop those parts I have found. I have already ordered the memory, processor, and motherboard so I'll just list them for your own information, incase you decide to build a computer like mein ;-)
  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550, 2.83 GHz
  • Gigabyte GA-EP45T-DS3R Motherboard
  • Super Talent DDR3 Dual Channel memory, 1333MHz, 2GBx2 (ordered two of those kits, so in total 8GB of memory)
I haven't bought a video card yet, but I am still planning to buy the BFG nVidia GTX 285, but only one and I'm not going to put it into SLI.

As for the processor, I might overclock it to 3+ GHz, but I highly doubt I will overclock it out of the box just yet.

If you guys have any suggestions, just comment or send me a message! Thanks.

~~Sergey

EDIT: I bought some parts today, here's a picture with tags: LINK
I bought a XION AXP 100 case, a Seagate 1.5TB Hard drive (Barracuda), a BGF nVidia GeForce GTX 285 OC 1GB, and an OEM DVD+/-RW DL from Micro Center with Litescribe.

Record your Mac's screen on YouTube

Sorry PC users. So to do this you need to have the following items, all free if you already have a Mac.
A Mac running Leopard or Tiger (duh)
CamTwist (link here)
A YouTube account (do you really need a link?)
Notice how I never specify any recording software (full CamTwist Good Morning Geek post here). This is because YouTube is the recording software in this case. So,
1. Open CamTwist

2. Double click on desktop for your video source

2.5 if you have a secondary desktop, move the CamTwist window over to it and select Main Screen as the screen, like shown below.


3. Press Command>P. This will bring up a little preview window, like this.


3.5 Add some effects if you want. there are some cool useful ones like image overlay, and I will overlay the All Windows Hax logo in the bottom left corner, a little bit transparent (my background pic changes by the way).


4. Go to youtube.com and log in. Now, hover over upload and click record from webcam.

5. Under the Webcam selection choose CamTwist.

6. Hit the record button and start recording your screen!

July 4th Sale - My computer

Hey all,


As probably you know, I have a sh*tty computer. No, really. Don't say that "but wait you're running Windows 7..." because I've seen an iBook G4 running Vista.

Anyways, on this weekend I'm planning to go and buy some computer parts to build a new one, as an "upgrade" to my old bucket of bolts that rattles 24/7. So here's my plan for the new system:
  • Intel Core i7 920 processor (2.66 ghz, but I can overclock ;-))
  • nVidia GTX 295
  • a few Seagate SATA HDD's, 1.5tb
  • SATA BD-ROM drive
  • an ASUS motherboard
  • EFI-X
  • Windows 7/Ubuntu/(snow (??))Leopard triple-boot
Any other ideas? Oh and the case is probably gonna be an Antec Sonata :-)
Comment if you have got an idea for what I should add to my new system setup.
