Xerxes Boards

The retro month is over at the legofish store and the new line-up will start in a couple of days (I'll keep a secret until then). But I have another thing to tell you about for now: Xerxes Boards.

If you're a snowboarder, or you want to be a snowboarder, and would like to have a custom-made or unique snowboard that features Persian designs check our Xerxes Boards. One such board is currently on auction on ebay here.

.It's been a while since I got my new PC. The last time I had a PC was more than 3 years ago. After using the laptop for so long, working on a PC is a totally different experience. and by working I mean playing games!

Also, for the first time in my life I can play games at the highest graphics setting without degrading performance. So all this means I haven't turned on my xbox for over two months, and I've already finished one game and am in the middle of another.

The one I've finished is Dreamfall: the longest journey. It's the second part of a trilogy, the first one being made 10 years ago ("the longest journey"), and hte last one still not even scheduled to begin production. Unfortunately I've never played the first part, which by many accounts is the best adventure game ever made.

With a highly complex storyline, not having played the first part meant that I didn't understand half the story. The game also severely lacked in gameplay, which at times was non-existent and at other times was reduced to trivial tasks such as retreiving or delivering objects from one end of the map to the other, and then going back.

however what it lacked in gameplay it more than made up in graphics and environments. It was a totally absorbing experience, and I would recommend the game simply for the breath-taking scenery.

Right now I'm playing Peter Jackson's King Kong, which is sort of fun.
