• Thinking About PS4 Situations

    Alone There’s a big thing I often think about: In the upcoming months the PS4 in our house will be alone. It’s going to be a nice machine, have awesome ability to have us game wonderfully into the next generation of games. Alone is a big thing. Some games are single games, but so many…


  • PlayStation 4 in Two Weeks!

    It’s officially November now, only 15 or so (whichever way you count days) to go until PS4 is released! We have three PS3’s and won’t be getting rid of them. They have a high use place in our house. We’ll have one new PS4 at first, and maybe we’ll move a PS3 to another spot…


  • Win 8.1 Pro REFRESH not working “missing files”

    I found information on Refreshing Win 8.1 when you can’t get that done. Downloading 8.0 then canceling and downloading 8.1 … but you need your Win 8.0 key … which I can’t find for my upgraded from Win 7 computer … I have my WMC key … but no such animal as my original Win…


  • Windows 8.1 Lock Screen Annoying-ness

    This is the ugly picture that is haunting our Mulitple user All-In-One desktop computer since upgrading to Win 8.1 from Win 8.0. I can’t stand it! Each user has a lock screen chosen, no user has that one. When someone logs out their own lock screen shows for a few seconds/minutes, but then this one…

      I have and did before writing this blog post, edited group policy to force a change, but it doesn’t “work” I can force user to not be able to change their lock screens, that works.

      I found a post online yesterday that someone refer to a “lock screen bug” in WIn 8.1 Preview or something, and the answers were that only some people had that problem, and a Refresh of the OS fixed it, so that’s what I’ll do today.

      Sometime, in the past couple of months, this issue was fixed when something updated. Suddenly the photo I set in policy shows when no one else is logged in on the All in One family computer.


  • LittleBig Planet: The Nightmare Before Christmas

    LittleBig Planet calls to me often, but I do not heed its call. I wish to, I want to, I need to. Tuesday, October 22, 2013 I will finally be forced to listen and act. 🙂 Level Kits for both LBP2 and LBPV, $4.99 each, and a Costume Pack that is $5.99 cross-buy. There is…


  • Clan of Xymox

    Years ago I found a cassette tape in the record store, Xymox – Twist of Shadows. I bought it and was a fan of Xymox from that moment on. I didn’t have any CLAN OF info at that time. I’d already been missing a great part of their history, but I made up for it…


  • Trust

    Trust is something that love brings. But then it seems like it’s all gone. I don’t know what to do about it. Walk over hot coals. Drink blood. Jump from a cliff. No. Those things are not what he wants. He wants me to not be me. To sit on the bed and watch football.…


  • Killzone Mercenary Game Stats are online

    I know my previous post is a giant us.playstation.com forums complaint, connected to PS Vita and Killzone Mercenary. I’m very bothered by it still, but because of that I stumbled onto the best of the best. Killzone Mercenary game stats. Killzone Mercenary Phantom Talon Corporation Mercenaries Business Directory Mercenary Sign up / Sign in (PSN ID…


  • PS Vita, PlayStation US Forums

    I’ve tried to fit into the new forum lack-of-disection on us.playstation.com but I’ve reached my end. Killzone Mercenary came out this week for PS Vita. Killzone.com has forums, and they are not my idea of where to go to have discussion about the game. So I break out a new thread in Playstation General on…


  • Mayhem 2013 – Atlanta

    My husband and I went to Mayhem at Aaron’s Lakewood Amphitheatre this year, on July 30th. It was a sunny day, hot, not too hot, not too humid, but put it all together and it was too much heat for me. (Lots of other people too.) Of all the bands outside during the afternoon I…
