During a bored lunch hour and after looking at the new trailer for Mario Kart on Wii, an addictive tune namely the Mario theme got into my head and prompted some YouTube’ing for classic covers of the classic tune.

Pointless, but, enjoy!

Dell Buys Alienware

Interesting twist. Dell have been pushing their XPS systems, both desktop and laptop recently. I’m guessing now they’ve got Alienware, even though they’re going to maintain the brand the XPS could well disappear.

Certainly will enhance Dell’s probably already great buying power posistion

Half Life 2

Finally yesterday Half-Life 2 got released.

After waiting about 20 minutes for Steam to unlock the files it eventually began loading up. Had a free voucher from my last graphics card hence using Steam to get it.

Downside before I’d even started was it took an age to load, I was watching the initial load screen for another 10 minutes before I got going, but boy was it worth the wait!

The graphics are out of this world, the introduction movie when you start is brilliant. Go get it now.
