Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2
I bought the game in October from my favorite online retailer Webhallen.com, I had heard there was a lot of fuzz about it not having dedicated servers but was matchmaking, but I wasn’t really intrested in how it would connect me to others as long as I could play it multiplayer while I was not playing it in singleplayer mode.
I found myself bothered though by the laggy matchings that it made now and again, i was at times set in games where the ping rate ran over 100ms, this obvious to many with high performance machines such as my own makes the multiplayer experience lacking finesse, knowing im not alone in this I queried a few searches on the search engines out there, the result was to edit mp_config.cfg that you locate in your “steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\player” folder, edit the file and exchange the line
seta cl_maxPing “800″ (default value)
to something more accurate like
seta cl_maxPing “110″
This should apparently limit matchmaking to not accept any hosts over 110ms ping

This little trick seems to work, I have not had any laggy hosts in MW2 since, but to further improve my performance I installed the O&O CleverCache 7 Professional and O&O Defrag 12 Professional, I thought testing these things would be fun just for a goof, but in overall my computer performed much smoother in MW2 as well as many other games on my system, so much so I am acctualy thinking of buying the software when the trial version runs out.
Christmas Shopping
Browsing the Web for christmas gifts for people can sometime be terrible if you dont have a clue what the want or like, I was searching among many of the major stores online to see if there was anything I could afford or that i knew the individual would like, for another gamer you might come of well with a gift on steam for example but its not as much a pleasure as a store bought package wraped in colourful paper.
If i had a girlfriend I would have looked into jewelry or something affectionate, this might sound strange to some but I would buy a cat bell and make a necklace or chocker thing of it and give it to her in a box with the note “To my dearest one for which I would feel lost, A bell that shall guide my way to you always”, maybe a touch more romantic note that rhymes a bit more, but you get the point, that or if I would have enough money a voucher for a luxury spa weekend or such, I don’t know, depends on her likes and dislikes if she tells me honestly what she wants

Kotaku.com “Rise and Shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and Shine”
This one made me laugh out loud (lol), that makes me wonder when Half-Life 2: Episode 3 will come…

I like this comic and the style is cute ^_^, I know some girls who play games and are really good at it, I have had my behind handed to me by girls in FPS now and then nothing wrong with that 
, I think it’s cool that there are less stereo-types in and about gaming these days.
MegaTokyo: “not something we can change”
I like this online Manga and I especialy love the Neko (or is it a Kitsune) Girl in this strip, I try to follow the series and jump to it when I see the update message in my RSS reader when a new strip is posted
among most favorite characters in MegaTokyo i must say that Ping and Erika are those I seem to have the most intrest in as of the time of writing, might be because they have the most picture time right now
