Last Updated on Friday, 20 August 2010 04:43 Written by Naota Friday, 20 August 2010 04:43
It is that time again. I have written another review about a random product. This time I completely left the realm of computers and decided to review the Vornado 733B. Vornado kindly sent us several of these fans. This allowed us to endure this hot summer and to conduct a thorough test of this fan’s abilities.
You can read my review of the Vornado 733/733B here. It also contains information that would be relevant to the entire lineup of fans. This includes the Vornado 783B, 733, 723B, Vornado 660B, 630, 630B, Vornado 542B, 530, 530B, 530L, Vornado 270, Vornado CR1-0092-36, Vornado CR1-0089-16.

Game Reviews: StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Title: Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
Release Date: July 27, 2010
Platforms: PC, Mac
Availability: Retail, Digital Distribution
Players: 1-8 (over internet connection on Battle.net)
After having spent the past two days with Starcraft II since its midnight launch, I have to say it’s been an interesting experience. For a lot of you, that might seem a very underwhelming evaluation of the game and I have to say, I was in fact a bit underwhelmed. However, that in no way means that Starcraft II is in any way a sub-par title. There’s a very good reason Blizzard sunk $100 million into this baby and it shows pretty much everywhere you look.
Let’s break it down for you though.
Graphics
Blizzard’s always had a strong tradition of pushing the graphics in their games. However, in SCII, you won’t see the best graphics Blizzard has to offer during the RTS portions of the gameplay.
Review: Alpha Protocol (PC)

Review: Alpha Protocol
System: PC (also available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3)
Release Date: June 1st, 2010 on all systems
Format: 2-Disc DVD, Steam Digital Download, Blu-ray
I tend to be a fan of the secret agent genre, more the Bourne side portrayal of the story rather than the Bond side (although Casino Royale was a fantastic reboot and earns its place in my undying love for great movies). CIA open literature on the subject is fantastically entertaining if but for the dickery that goes on in the trade. I watch Burn Notice whenever it’s available. So I have to say, I was looking forward to Alpha Protocol for a while since its announcement in 2008.
Was it worth waiting? Not entirely.

This was another gun I used to own, in fact, I owned a pair of them!! They were the most powerful BB guns I owned, and they are responsible for destroying Naota’s Ps3!!
SUMMARY: This simple gun packs power at 480 ft/sec shooting .177 caliber BB’s, putting some serious damage into it’s target (including my skin). The clip holds 18 BB’s and is easily ejected with the release on the left side using the thumb (I deduce this gun is made for right handed people). The accuracy is quite amazing. Naota and I used to shoot the hole in the middle of CD’s from 2 – 7 meters away. The trigger is a smooth action, probably contributing to the accuracy. The downside is, its a bit soft, so the trigger can be accidently pulled (Shot my window twice as a result of this). There is a weaver rail under the barrel, supposedly for a laser, but the sights are golden for me. The safety is an easy push-and-slide mechanism with the index finger. To change the Co2, slide back the handle, exposing the co2 chamber and the screw to tighten/loosen.
