    Y'all Got Mail...no, It's Spam!

    Not to come off as a tool, but y'all got a spammer runnin' 'round these parts. Time to dust off that ban hammer and do a thread cleanup. From the Apple Forum to Power Supplies and UPS's, the latest threads are all spam. And it was this way when I popped in to lurk within the past month.

    The "what Do You Play?" Thread

    So...this year I started with either the mid-life crisis rock n' roll fantasy camp with Rocksmith and a Squire Bullet Stratocaster . I started leaning this way after my Guitar Hero guitar's strum button started working only partially and people wanted at least $80 for one on eBay and Craigslist...

    Explaining Mental Illness

    Preface: I have been psychiatrist diagnosed as bipolar within the past several years. A physical ailment is easy to explain because most people can identify it. If you have a broken leg, a cast is put on it (depending on the factors) and in a matter of weeks, it comes off and you're on your...

    The "What are you playing" thread.

    As the title states. Currently, it's Darksiders on the PC (thank you Humble Bundle), Halo 4 on the Xbox 360 and Resistance 3 on the Playstation 3. I finished the Halo 4 campaign and am playing Spartan Ops. I have not been big on the Halo franchise. I wasn't particularly impressed when I...

    FreeNAS

    I've wanted a file server, but I don't feel like forking over the cash for a pre-built NAS. I was browsing Anandtech and read an article on file servers/NAS, and found out about FreeNAS. Even if you've never used a *nix OS before, you can easily install this. I'm using it with a Jetway mini-ITX...

    'Sup guys--Guess what?

    For those who missed it, wife=preggo, and we're late in the game. At this point, we're having weekly doctor visits and ultrascans. So we go in today. It's 35 weeks, 5 days, so the end is in sight. They do some strep test and check how she's doing downstairs and let her get dressed. Doctor...

    Stepping down

    I've been with HWF for over 7 years, and didn't really think this day would come. However, as I've got a lot of things to juggle, it's something that is necessary to do. I'm stepping down as a staff member on HWF. After a good deal of thought about life, I've decided to step down from my...

    My life, v. 27.9.0

    So, yeah, I might actually show up around here more. We had our reception this past weekend, so we got some money and gifts. Got to see some people I haven't seen for a long time, including relatives on my mom's side. People saw the house, and we were forced to do some serious cleaning...

    Asus EEE PC 2G on the way

    My wife's been digging one of these, and we finally broke down and got one. In pink. But, they seem to be nice little things if web surfing is the big thing. I've played with them some in the stores (hey, why not?), but I won't have as good of impression until it comes in.

    Cheap HTPC Keyboard?

    I've got my pseudo HTPC setup now, but I need a decent wireless keyboard that's not going to break the bank. I've considered the Logitech DiNovo, but $160-170 is kinda pricey. Any suggestions you guys might have would be great.

    MegaMan 9

    I'm crapping my pants because MegaMan is awesome. I think I'll have to download this on to my PS3, but I've wondered something: Do you have the Mega Buster? I know you can shoot things with your single shot, but you can charge up for the Mega Buster?

    Pets...

    So, yeah, me and the (almost) Mrs. want to acquire another dog, post wedding stuff, and we really like the idea of a Boston Terrier because of their personality and how they'll fit in well with our lazier lifestyle. Both Petland's around here have closed suddenly, which sucks, since we could...
