Old PC Games Get New Life

Do you have any Old PC games that you love but can no longer play? As games age you will find that they are no longer compatible with your newer operating systems or maybe you lost the disk and its too old to find at a store anymore. Fear Not! There is a place that I recently discovered with hundreds of old games that you can purchase for either $5.99 or $9.99 (total price). Once you purchase a game it is 100% yours, meaning that you can download it onto multiple computers (there is no limit to downloads), and you are free to make as many back up copy's as you would like. The Games also come with extras such as manuals,wallpapers, and soundtracks which are optional to download if you want them.

I first found out about the site in last months Game Informer Magazine. Last night we purchased our first games, we bought Masters of Orion 1+2 combo pack for 5.99 and Free Space 2 for 4.19 (it was on promotion for the weekend). If you are interested in finding some of the older games that you enjoy you HAVE to check out the site. If they don't have a game that you are looking for, you can put in a request or vote for it (if someone requested it before you). Since they are adding new titles all the time, I'm sure that your favorite game will appear on the Site before too long.


Check them out: Good Ole Games, gog.com


**Note** The site only supports Windows Xp and Vista but they are working to make all their titles compatible with Windows 7. Karl has windows 7 and all the games we purchased have been running fine. Also I sent them an email about it and they promptly responded with this message: "I am sorry but GOG doesn't support Windows 7 yet, so yes, some of our games might not work as the should on this OS. However most of them are running flawlessly, for more information please check out our forum: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/"

Here are some useful threads I found on their forum : Windows 7 Compatibility-Work In Progress and Games Working On Windows 7 Also I would expect any games that were recently released or that release new to be compatible.

Sago Palms Beautiful But Deadly!

I just saw this on the news tonight: Pets killed by common plant

If you have Sago Palms and pets you should get rid of the palms ASAP. Apparently the palms are as deadly as they are beautiful. The news said that the seeds of the plant have a sweet taste which is enticing to pets. EVERY part of the plant including leaves, roots, seeds, etc are extremely toxic. The plant quickly causes liver failure and there's no antidote. Treatments of Sago Poisoning include inducing vomiting, charcoal and finally blood transfusion. If you have Sago Palms and you notice your pet acting sluggish and vomiting get them to a vet asap to begin treatment. The longer you wait to bring your pet the less likely they are to survive. Early treatment of Sago Poisoning will give your pet better odds of living. Please if you have pets read the article, watch the video, and dig up those Sago Palms.


I had no idea that the Sago Palms were toxic and neither did my Mom who has several of the palms. Thank goodness I saw this because Roxy loves to chew on anything and everything she can find. Roxy or one of my babies could have easily ended up a victim of Sago poisoning. We are getting rid of those palms first thing in the morning!

Clash Of The Titans

We just got back from seeing this movie. First of all let me say, don't waste your money watching it in 3D like we did. You can obviously tell that 3D was an after thought. I think the producers just wanted in on the 3D cash cow so they threw in a little 3D at the last minute to make some extra money.

Other than the 3D botch, the movie was wonderful. The graphics were great and so was the story. They did make quite a few changes to the original 80's movie. Of course both movies just loosely mirror the Greek mythology behind them, so if you are a stickler for mythology than the 80's version is closer to the actual legends. However, I feel that they were very successful at making this movie feel new and fresh. It was a great update to the 80's movie. The plot changes made take this movie out of the 80's and into the modern world.

**Lil SPOILER ALERT** If you are hardcore about the 80's movie then you may not like this updated version. Karl(he loves the 80's version) hated the fact that they took out Bo Bo (the owl from Athena), that Perseus's mother did not survive to raise him with the fisherman,that Perseus did not marry Andromeda, the inclusion of the Djinn (human-like desert shaman with magic powers), and that Perseus has a hatred for the gods after they killed his family. However, if you are not a stick in the mud about old movies (aka Karl) these are minor things that in my opinion make the plot flow better and make Perseus's epic journey seem more realistic. Also they did pay a tribute to Bo Bo which was nice for those that missed him. I personally thought the addition of the Djinn in the movie was great. In my opinion, a little magic mixed in with a little Greek mythology and wonderful 21st century graphics = awesomeness!

I believe that Clash of the Titans was a win. Go see it in 2D and I think you will enjoy it.
