Just recently stumbled on this great little film starring the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend . Love the Venture Brothers and the youtube video someone put together is odd in a way but very cool.

Wow – talk about intense. Chuck has definitely changed to a more serious tone with it’s story line. The show always leaves me wanting more. I hope it continues to stay around for a while.
Great info and news about the show here – [LINK]
As promised I put together the details of my FO3 adventure and what it took to get it running. The WineHQ page had tons of good info on it, many of the people there had already done the hard part of figuring out what was needed. I just had a few minor changes for my hardware and that was about it.
I’m hoping Fallout: New Vegas will also work when I get my hands on it.

Ok I finally got it up and running, it’s far from ideal, there are definitely some bugs but it is running. I’ll put together and post the full details in a few days once I’ve had time to tweak it some more and see what I can accomplish.
Basically a combination of following the details found on WineHQ [LINK], some hacks, and lots of lost sleep. The sound or lack of it is the one major hurdle I’ve hit so far, the game doesn’t think there is a sound driver/card setup. However if you check the details on the WineHQ link above you will see it is a WINE bug not specific to Fallout 3 that I hope they will remedy in the not too distant future.
I have to say I’m thrilled just to have it running at all. Now if I can load up all my favorite mods and have them work I’ll be a happy post-apocalyptic camper! Say that three times fast and you get a free box of ‘Cheesy Poofs‘!
Time to sleep – g’night!
I eventually plan to move to a more rural area, but this has a serious downside. By that I mean having very limited access to the internet. The area I want to live in some day is currently saddled with only one real option and that is mobile broadband. Almost all of the plans I see are capped around 5gig a month depending on the provider. If you’re a serious geek a mere 5gig per month is nothing. Hell just thinking of chopping my access down that much makes me feel panicky and claustrophobic!
There doesn’t really seem to be much choice but to learn to live with the 5gig and adjust my net habits – ugh it’s a damned depressing thought. Maybe by that point I’ll have a real life (whatever that is) and won’t care, or perhaps the zombie apocalypse will occur and I’ll be too busy reloading to worry about my internet connection. Who knows.
I did think of one small thing to help cut back on bandwidth, instead of browsing with Firefox which sucks down tons of flash, pictures, and various other media… I could use the browser called Lynx.
For those not familiar, Lynx is an old school text only browser that won’t hog your bandwidth so much. It’s not pointy clicky, but if you just want to surf, read the news, or check blogs it works great. It’s available for just about every OS (FreeBSD, linux, Windows, etc).

I love Cold War Era relics, I’ve always thought the missile silos that have gone up for sale are neat as hell. Having one refurbished as a home would be just too cool. Can you image having your gaming room setup in your bunker and play Fallout 3!! Oh yea… that would be serious fun!
There’s a bunker for sale in the U.K. with some great pictures and more details over at Gizmodo.
