Long story short: The external hard drive I use to run my games off of died tonight. It was a Western Digital MyBook 500 GB USB hard drive that I picked up not quite two years ago. So, all my Windows games are gone. I’m ordering a new external drive from CanadaRAM.com, but it won’t arrive until after Christmas or the New Year, I’m sure. But, heaven forbid a gameless holiday. I picked up an Xbox 360 as my company Christmas bonus (what!? I worked hard!) and GTA IV. Rumor has it Fable 2 might be making an appearance, too.
So, there won’t be many updates here for a while. I hope everyone has a great and safe holiday and I’ll see you in 2009.
(Oh, if you’re curious, the new drive is a Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB with a MacAlly SATA/USB Enclosure G-S350SUA.)

Love the site, Im actually considering buying the same version iMac myself, and as a light gamer, this site has really helped push me further towards getting one.
Mostly I just play a bit of WoW and FFXI on Windows, Ive had Macbooks, Mac Mini’s, Hackintosh’s in the past but Ive drooled over the iMac’s since their ‘lamp’ incarnation, and I think the tech specs are just about right now for me to drop the £1k to get one.
Please keep running with the site, not a lot of comments so far, but I hope it takes off for you.
Thanks for your information

D’oh indeed! Also, “D’oh, I didn’t turn comment notification on!“ Should be fixed now, though. Thanks for the comments!
Got my new hard drive all set up after Christmas and have a few games on it now. A few new articles should be up shortly.
