I thought it would be fun to take a quick informal poll on how many hours our members devote to playing games. It’s probably hard for some to get an exact count of the hours, but I would be curious of a round-a-bout figure of your time invested per week. I would mine is near the 20-25 hour mark but it’s hard to say for sure. That does include all types of gaming whether it’s on a PC, console, or portable. So what about you?
In the next couple of months we have a couple more Star Wars games coming out. I think the last Star Wars game I played was KOTOR II a while back, which is a game I really enjoyed playing. First up next month will be Star Wars: The Force Unleashed . Talking with a bunch of people on various gaming forums, this seems to the SW game people have been waiting for. I think the biggest appeal I have seen so far is the incredible looking force effects which will allow you to ha...
Look out! The Obamessiah once again unscripted and without a teleprompter almost said Clarence Thomas didn't have enough experience for the Supreme Court. Oh, that would have been great. The junior Senator with barely any experience dared to call someone out on their lack of experience? He almost said it.

We are now at the third week in Mormegil's "Icon-A-Day 2.0" tutorials. At Day 11 Mormegil gives us the "down low" on the downloads folder. I'm following these tutorials very closely and I have to say he makes this look so easy. I also wonder if anyone is following him as well and making their own icons now. Does anybody have some works to show off maybe? Link : Day 11 Link: Icon-A-Day Index

Well it looks like Tropical Storm/Hurricane Fay is headed our way. It probably should be here sometime early tomorrow, but I don’t expect it to be too bad. They obviously closed down school tomorrow, which is funny since today was the first day of school. I just need to bring in some chairs and plants from outside and that is about all I’m going to do. Went to get the store to get some gas and some food, and they were both crazy with stupid people running around like an as...
Episode 16 of the WinCustomize SkinCast is up, and this is an extra special one! About two weeks ago we posted that Darren McPhee from AMD will be our guest, and we will be giving away 3 prizes, one of which is an ATI 4870 video card courtesy of AMD/ATI. The other two prizes are a copy of Sins of the Solar Empire , and the upcoming Demigod game. We received a bunch of great questions, and although we had a difficult time narrowing...
Over the weekend we had a little flamefest going over a skin, and one of the comments was basically trying to trash people for selling their skins. Now since I posted a warning about a 3 month ban from WinCustomize if any other trolling was going to continue, a certain person decided to go to my personal blog and send me an e-mail to my personal account about it. The e-mail: “So you think that there's nothing wrong with selling skins between $4 and $5 a pop, uh. Everyone of ...
Another week goes by, and another Monday is here. As usual this weekend was full of good stuff on WinCustomize, so here are some of my favorites from the weekend.
I have no shame and I am proud to admit I am a Conservative American. However, McCain is obviously not my first choice but I will admit he has a good shot at rolling right over Obama this fall. After watching some of last nights "forum" I really have to wonder what goes through the heads of democrats in this country. If they truly want "change", why nominate a candidate with no experience and a very shady background? I mean seriously, did anybody at the DNC ever take a ...
For this weeks member spotlight I wanted to pick one of the most popular creators of wallpapers here on WinCustomize. Say hello to kenwas ! Kenwas does some beautiful work in wallpapers with Vue 6, and I know he has inspired many others to do the same. He is a Journeyman at WinCustomize and is number 2 in downloads in the Wallpaper gallery with nearly 1 million downloads since joining in 2003. If you ever pick up a 3D magazine such as 3D world, you might...

Another Friday, another week is done. A tremendous amount of skins came through the submission pipes this week, and as usual, it was a tough pick. I have to say once again how pleased I am about the skinning activity over the summer, it didn't slack of, and in fact it has increased! I hope some of you are already getting your GUI Champs skins ready. Now for this weeks picks! Rocky for CursorFX by PuterDudeJim This cursor took some inspiration fro...
