About Me
I'm a technology enginer @ Intel and I also have a serious passion for PC gaming. I believe my first gaming system was "PONG" and I had somewhat of the oddball Odyssey2 gaming system when I was younger. We even had the add-on voice module! Eventually, I became the owner of an Apple ][+ (yes all 48k of goodness) with the Apple Monitor III (green monochrome)... little did I know that my endless days of BASIC programming,and BBS surfing would bring me to where I am today... I have build countless dozens of PCs, Servers, etc and my house is full of technology.

Got a favorite game or system? talk to me!

Ok to be honest, I'm just here for the games! Friday Night Fights is new to me, but seems like a really cool ladder competition... To be honest, I just can't seem to get a high-score on the cannon game...



ugh - who can help me!?!

to be honest, I'm much more into the FPS realm - check my latest blog on my gaming rig!

Don't feel bad - about 13 is the best I can do, too.

It's addicting, isn't it? Thanks for setting up shop on Dtoid. See you around the blogs!

You might be working for Intel (lucky punk) but that doesn't mean you can post a shameless plug with a crappy blog without introducing yourself. You might want to write an intro blog elaborating on what you've written in your sidebar.

Hmmm... I haven't tried that game yet (I was more interested in possibly checking out the Quake game)... but now I'm scared to try it!
:)

Yeah, maybe I'll stick to Quake!

Try what Justice said and make an intro blog. Also, make blogs like this longer and make them worth the read. Talk about why you like the game, or what makes it hard. One more thing, be careful when posting links to a separate blog. You have no intro, and so it kind of looks like you might be just coming in here to spam. Be careful.

Haven't played cannon, though. Also, I haven't tried the Friday Night Fights. I'm just not much of an online guy. I like a good story.

@ Elsa come Quake with me! My topscore on cannon game is only like 15 or something, shooting people is way more fun.

Well, two out of three ain't bad. One of my favorite SNL sketches has John Larroquette dying and going to heaven. Only, heaven, in this case, is his very own angel there to answer questions about the minutia of his life. The 200th grossest thing he accidentally ate? A dead earwig. Hey, I found a transcript.

Anyway, we’re not quite that powerful or all-knowing here, but there is a mountain of 150,000 members-worth of data to sift through. When I’m bored swimming in our twin reservoirs of cash and priority pucks, I fire up the ol’ Query Analyzer and look for some silly stats. Ever wonder how users have Fred in their username? 189 <a href="http://www.sharphosts.com">web hosting services</a>. Geek? 163. Poop? 37. Yes, really.

I got to wondering what company has the most employees-that-woot. Now, we can only count people who’ve used their company email, and of course it’s pointless to count places like hotmail or gmail, but here’s what seems to be the top 10 Woot-friendly businesses:

37 people with poop in their usernames. How many with just poop by itself? That's probably a stupid question. I'm assuming I'm the only one, but then again, I'm retarded. Poop was not what I wanted for a username. My first 3 choices were already taken. I was so pissed, I entered in poo out of frustration. Turns out that was taken too. I became even more pissed, and added a p. I'm too stupid and lazy to come up with a better name. My crappy username serves as punishment for being so stupid. I'm embarrassed every time I see it web hosting services.
