I've been a gamer since a young age, my first experiences were with my old Atari 2600. Nowadays I'm mostly a PC guy but I also play board games when I have the group for it. And I love wrenching on cars besides.

Ranty WRUP

Well, here I am finally. A day late. I just got busy yesterday with getting an actual start on Spring cleanup around here and then I went on a whole errand binge that took more or less the rest of the day. Today is going to be busy as well, but not right away so here I am up before 6:00am having a cup of coffee and a pop tart almost hoping plans will change because I would just like a day to do nothing after this last week. But I know better. So let's WRUP. Read more

Why Race Up Pineapples

Good day to you all it is I, Scrooloose and I'm done with this speech pattern already. Yesterday it was 73 and sunny with some nice fresh feeling breeze action. Today it's going to top out in the high 40s and rain. And tomorrow it may snow a few inches. Gotta love that early Spring weather. I'm a middle aged man. I talk about the weather. It's what we do. Let's get to the WRUP though because I don't know, maybe you're not a middle aged man. Or something... Read more

The WRUP Is Upon US

Hey there everyone. We survived the end of March and made it to April, even seeing some pretty great April fools jokes on the internet. One from CD Projekt Red advertising a limited edition of Cyberpunk 2077 installable from 97,619 floppies. They say it should take around two months of non-stop floppy disk swapping to be playable. That one made me laugh pretty good. There was also one that had me going for a moment until I read a few details in about Nvidia buying Xbox from Microsoft in order to better compete with Playstation. Which honestly doesn't sound too terribly out of the range of possibility until you get into the details: Dual GPU SLI configuration and AI to power the box... yeah.  Tweaktown you almost had me for a moment there. The article even contains renderings of the NVidia Xbox. Pretty fun times. Read more

Nice Steaming WRUP

Happy weekend, everyone. It's Time for WRUP again. It's before 6:30am here, I just sat down with a cup of coffee and I'm figuring on getting a couple things down before I just fire up Helldivers 2 and liberate the countryside. So let's get to it. Read more

Sunday Morning WRUP

It's Sunday. It's a WRUP. It's Sunday WRUP. Imagine I did that in a voice such as classic CBS Sunday Morning host, the late Charles Kuralt. And if you're old enough to know who Charles Kuralt was are you sure you're in the right place? I mean I remember him so maybe you are. Maybe I'm not? Anyway, happy Sunday everyone. Let's play Helldivers 2 - I mean it's WRUP time and I definitely didn't forget that yesterday because I was playing Helldivers 2 before going to work, coming home and playing Helldivers 2. No sir, not at all. Steel trap, this memory of mine. Read more

Get Yer WRUP Here

Good day to you, I hope this WRUP finds you well. It's the weekend and though the storms have passed there is much water, ice and snow left their wake. However the sun is warm for such a winters day and this may mean the snow will be melted in time for the Superbowl party to be held here tomorrow. Diets will be set aside as there will be many chili boats to be had. Beer will flow cold and the pizzas will be hot. Those who join us should plan on heavily filled bellies and antacids to relieve the inevitable reflux to follow. Here, below are more WRUP related issues. Read more
