Even if my PS3 slim was affected, tonight I wouldn't care. Here's why:

That's the last time I accept an MSN friend request from someone who I don't know.

Fade Away
A [Music] blog posted by Dana Olson at 2010-02-24 00:36:27

Here's a live acoustic version of one of my songs with the wife doing vocals, me doing guitar. The cymbal conveniently gets in the way of my fat head. This was our third take (I screwed up the guitar big time the first take, and she sang too early on the second).

Oh, Bell... You don't get it...
A [Life Stuff] blog posted by Dana Olson at 2010-02-15 21:48:31 , updated 2010-02-15 21:51:03

Bell has had a stranglehold on the telephone and internet market in Ontairo, Canada, and for many years, there were no real alternatives. With the advent of broadband and the prevalence of VoIP, times they are a-changin'.

TYT MAG review

Apparently this dude is a real vet. He seems to like MAG, for the most part.

Multiplayer Awesome Game
A [Gaming] blog posted by Dana Olson at 2010-01-31 01:57:45 , updated 2010-02-01 15:24:53

Well, tonight my wife, who has never ever played or shown an interest in playing a shooter, or any online or first-person game for that matter, asked if she could try MAG. She did the tutorial mission twice, and then jumped online. I watched her get her first kill, and then got taken out. She then laughed and said "it's kinda fun... Uh oh, I'm hooked."

I can't read Japanese, but Kotaku readers say Capcom is bringing Monster Hunter to Xbox 360.

Soundgarden reforming...
A [Music] blog posted by Dana Olson at 2010-01-12 18:11:10

So, by now, Soundgarden fans probably already know that Chris Cornell has announced the band is making a comeback. That's all we know so far; who will be in the band hasn't been announced. Matt is still with Pearl Jam, so it should be interesting to see what happens...

on Tekken 5 pricing
A [Gaming] blog posted by Dana Olson at 2009-12-31 11:08:36

I just bought Tekken 6 last night on FutureShop.ca for the same price as Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection Online is on the PSN... That ain't right.

PS3 Slim Has Arrived
A [Gaming] blog posted by Dana Olson at 2009-11-25 19:16:18 , updated 2009-11-25 20:28:18

I got my first PS3 slim today, and I knew it'd be smaller, but it's more smaller than I thought it would be. Well, it's lighter than I thought it'd be, at least.

Borderlands impressions
A [Gaming] blog posted by Dana Olson at 2009-10-21 01:12:36 , updated 2009-10-21 03:00:12

So I've played Borderlands for about.. Hmm, let's see. It arrived at 6:30, I stopped at 12:30, and I had about a 45-minute break to watch Co-Op while I ate a pizza dinner. I'll just say 5 hours. My character is at level 10 or 11, I forget. I've done a bunch of little quests. I've played online and offline.

Sorta Homemade Bass Amp
A [Music] blog posted by Dana Olson at 2009-10-06 23:17:41 , updated 2009-10-07 10:21:57

So I had an old 12" sub and an Alpine power amp kicking around... My buddy gave it to me a while ago to put in my car, but I'd been too lazy/poor to get around to it. While unpacking the stuff in the basement (prepping for the drums) I re-discovered the duo and the thought occurred to me: if I rigged it up as a decent bass amp, I wouldn't need to buy one, and I'd been that much closer to having...

Starting over
A [Gaming] blog posted by Dana Olson at 2009-09-08 01:52:43

I decided to start Batman Arkham Asylum over from the start because I had been playing through on easy mode to get that silver trophy. But, when looking at Josh's trophy list, I saw he got both silvers for completing the game in normal and easy modes at the same time... So now I lost a few hours of play, for nothing.

Shoulda did this a long time ago...

So, since I moved and now work from home, my Internet speeds have been utter garbage. Sometimes I'd be able to download files at about 600KB/sec, but it is very rare. I normally peaked at about 100-150KB/sec. I finally got fed up today and did something about it.
