Missing PC Games: Empire: Total War

I’ve pretty much given up on PC Gaming about 2 years ago, a few months after I got my 360. The need for constantly upgrading my rig just for the satisfaction of cranking up a game’s video settings on high, coupled with hunting for workarounds should bugs arise and playing on a desk instead of a couch, eventually pushed me to become an occasional PC gamer.

I do miss the depth that a lot of PC games have, the Total War series is emblematic of this. Empire is the latest in the franchise, and its as epic, strategically rich, and gorgeous as always. :)

Post earthquake Sichuan in photos

Boston.com’s The Big Picture consistently puts out amazing photosets on various themes and settings and this one on Sichuan is no exception.

Fallout’s desolate wasteland looks strikingly similar to some of these shots. The feeling of loss and the destruction of what once was has been captured by both Bethesda and the images here.

Drupal snippet: moving node comments onto a block

I decided to start documenting little bits of code for Drupal, so I could refer back to it when needed, and so I could have a little variety, as not everyone is interested in all the games I play. I hope this will be of some use to some of you.

I wanted to separate the comments section of my blog posts from the main content area because my layout's footer is perfect for it. But digging around for hooks / theme overrides got me nowhere. I resorted to hacking up some jQuery to grab the comments section,and prepend it to the footer. It worked well for the most part, but reCAPTCHA wouldn't play nice with this implementation.
