NHL 06 | EBgames.com
So I tried NHL 06 last night. It promises to be the most fun since NHL 94, which would be great. Lately the series has suffered from arcade settings and extremely unrealistic gameplay. From what I’ve seen so far, it looks like that has improved. However, by far the worst problem plaguing the game lately is the limited way to configure your controller. I have a Logitech gamepad with a D-pad, 2 analog sticks, 6 buttons and 4 thumb buttons. For some stupid reason I can only assign 4 of the 6 buttons the way I want; the other 2 appear to be hardcoded to control the ingame music player (!!!!). Pisses me off. Must bother EA and have them explain this tenacity…

Get a FREE iPod!

freeiPods.com – Get a FREE iPod!

I decided “To hell with it – I’m gonna try to get a free iPod!” It seems easy enough, sign up for $1 and get a $25 Canadian Tire gift card. Then refer five friends to do the same.

You’ll be hearing from me ;)

Is more really better?

September 27, 2005 with 2 Comments

So a while ago I bought a new razer. I thought about just getting my usual Gillette one, you know, the one with the 3 blades. But sadly I was convinced by the commercials to try out the new Shick Quattro. 4 blades, must be better than 3. Not!
Here’s the problem, the 4 blades are so narrow and wedged closely together, that, especially with the little protective wires across them, they become useless. Never in my life have I pulled a razer across my face only to find the same amount of stubble as before. The first time it happened I must have looked so confused… Now granted, it works fine for about 3 shaves. At that point it becomes impossible to clean the hairs out from within the narrowly spaced blades.
My conclusion: Going with the 3 bladed Gillette again next time. Now, where can I get one for free?

Judge accused of using sexual device in court

USATODAY.com – Oklahoma judge accused of using sexual device in court
Allegations that a district court judge engaged in improper conduct involving sexual acts are false and are part of an effort to attack and embarrass him, his attorney said.

District Judge Donald Thompson violated the code of judicial conduct “by his repeated use of a device known as a penis pump during non-jury and jury trials in his courtroom and in the presence of court employees while serving in his capacity as a district judge,” Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson wrote in a petition filed Wednesday with the Court of the Judiciary.

The sound of Thompson using the pump was heard by a number of witnesses, who said that the noise sounded “like air being pumped or released” from a blood pressure cuff.
