Literal Barrage

There were two releases today that are guaranteed to make Unreal Tournament 2004 fans happy (especially if they run Linux).
First off is the long-delayed 3204 Linux patch. Download and install it ASAP. Bugfixes and performance improvements abound, by all accounts.

I've recently added two albums to my "Listening" queue (over to the right) and both come highly recommended.
First off is Since I Left You by the Avalanches. Taken individually, each of the songs can be mildly amusing, with the exception of the one single off the album, "Frontier Psychiatrist." However, taken as a [...]

Okay, Comcast, G4techTV has to be the worst, most spineless option for naming your upcoming tech-devoted megalithic channel.
