LG makes some beautiful TVs and LCDs. Over the weekend I decided to take out my 17in. secondary monitor, move my 19in. from being the primary to being the secondary. Then I placed my newly purchased LG 22in. Widescreen dead center It is soooo nice.

• 1680 x 1050 resolution
• 300cd/m2 brightness
• 10,000:1 contrast ratio
• 2-millisecond response time

I had found it online from Circuit City, for about 289, but later in the day, I was at Fry's, and I found it the same monitor. So I talked with a rep and found out they would price match CC because Frys was 319. So we headed over to CC to get an add and bring it back, but while I was there, another awesome person, (Steven, I think) and he offered me $20 off from THEIR price to buy it from them. So in the end, I bought it and saved about 50 bucks compared to Fry's. SWEET!

Now UT3 looks so realistic, and I can play fully immersed in the game. The last things I need for my gaming comp is maybe some more RAM a HiDef sound card and surround speakers.
I recomend LG to any and everyone, I love the quality of the display, and with my 2yr. protection plan, I can sleep soundly, lol.

Also, I added two new movie reviews, check them out by clicking the Movie Review tab at right.

"A class-action settlement from Creative Labs over the capacity of their HDD MP3 players. Evidently they calculated drive capacity in base-10 (1,000,000,000 bytes per GB) instead of base-2 (1,073,741,824 bytes per GB). The representative plaintiff is entitled to $5,000, and everyone else who bought one of the HDD MP3 players in the past several years gets a 50% discount on a new 1GB player[PDF]. They can also opt for a 20% discount on anything ordered from Creative's online store. Creative has made available all of the necessary legal forms. Seagate lost a similar lawsuit late last year." -Slashdot

HAHAH, good, it is BS that they advertise the base-2 size but calculate and give you base-10 size. FALSE ADVERTISING!

I am totally addicted to Unreal 3 Online. It is soooooo much fun, best game ever. I will say outright, best computer game ever made. I did take the time to make a few updates: A few new funny videos, with a stoned firefighter, a guide to cats, and a moron in a gas station. Then I also added one unmotivational poster. The sh** gamespy servers that host the login and players for Unreal crashed earlier, so I can't play right now. LAME! Gamespy, you SUCK! Epic should have set-up the servers themselves instead of just dumping the responsibility to Gamespy. Anyways, I'm happy because I got a 2.00 raise at my job! YAY! So this summer I will be making a bit more, hooray! So thats it for now, I'm going to see if the servers are back up.
