Posted on March 22nd

I picked up my copy of Elder Scrolls last night, turning down the massive 'guide' (shouldn't I be figuring out the quests by myself?), and after putting the kids to bed I fired it up.

Voodoo PC's website is ahead of their time...

Posted on March 1st

Hitting this page (http://www.voodoopc.com/showroom.aspx?productID=1076) with IE7 produces several javascript alerts letting me know that I'm running an "Old Browser".
