I try to keep it as short as possible as I show the features of multiplayer and explain how they differ from the previous world of dedicated servers. I end the video with a gameplay montage with music by Pure Energy called “System Reboot” http://j.mp/4hNLhT Hopefully this montage will give you an additional indication of the latency with IWNet alongside the gameplay I provide in the main segment. I’ll follow this video up with a overall review and recommendation shortly.

In this video, I talk about a recent announcement of downloadable content (DLC) for the FPS-RPG game, Borderlands.

As you may or may not know, this game is available on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC platforms. I’ve been playing a great deal of this game on the PC and I’ve found myself enjoying it more than what I thought I would. A lot of people warned me that it didn’t have that much replayability after you finish it a couple of times. I’ve only finished it once so I can’t speak for that right now. This announcement says that more DLC will be available on November 24th for the PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms but no specifics on the PC yet. The story is here: http://j.mp/47Pgql

In this video, I unbox the fruits my firesale: a new Core i7 PC from Cyberpower PC!

Basically, the Mac Pro fund raising drive has been cancelled. I’ve decided to apply those funds towards future giveaways to the community ($95). Much to the delight of a lot of my listeners/viewers, I am going to PC route. I have sold a majority of my equipment here to raise the money to buy a Core i7 system. I’ve sold my Canon Powershot TX1, my old gaming machine, my HP Mini, and my camera lenses to raise the money. This is why the camera angle you see now is with my Canon HV20. So yeah, Bwana.TV will be back in high definition shortly.

In this video, I answer a question from Pim who wants to know what a Crunchpad is.

The Crunchpad is a tablet device that is currently in development. It is the brainchild of TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington. Details are still sketchy since the device has not been finalized yet. Search Google for “Crunchpad” and you’ll get a ton of results. Here is the link I referred to in the video: http://bit.ly/OUmRf Thanks for the question!

In this video, I answer a question from sabres421 who wants to know how to tell if your PC has a SATA port or not? Thanks for the question sabres421.

Thankfully, Sonic840 of DeviantArt has created a great PC hardware reference chart which lists a ton of PC components: http://bit.ly/RL5Ez If you’re curious about any PC part (including SATA ports) you can most likely find it on this chart and compare it to what’s inside your computer. I recommend you use this chart to become familiar with your computer’s internals. Thanks again for the question, sabres421

In this video, I answer a question from Jacob who asks “Im doing upgrades on my pc, im adding ram and another hard drive. I saw a 1TB drive on newegg, but my computer uses ide not sata. Is there any way of hooking up that sata drive up to my ide pc?” Thanks for the question Jacob.

Fortunately, there are several options available to you Jacob. It depends on what you currently have. If you have a PCI Express slot on your computer, you can use a SATA controller card on your computer which will give you an internal or external option to connect the SATA drive. Another option is to get an external USB enclosure and insert the SATA drive. You can utilize your USB slot on your computer, and you can connect additional drives in the future if this one fills up. Hope this answered you question, Jacob!

In this video, I talk about a product which was brought to my attention by douceswild of the chat room. The name of the site is called Game Answers and it’s by the popular game rental company, GameFly. If you wish to try Game Answers, visit http://www.gameanswers.com .

What Game Answers does is allow gamers to submit questions about their favorite games. The community would then answer their questions and the associated answers can be rated up or down. The format is very similar to Yahoo Answers where a knowledge base is built around community. My impressions of the site are favorable but I fear that it could be a breeding ground for flame wars. Gamers tend to be passionate about their products, especially if the question is opinionated. It’s going to be interesting to see how it all pans out and if it will do what Game Fly intended. Thanks for the tip douceswild.

Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks.”  Thanks for the question ninjapenguin981!  For this task, I recommend you become familiar with the major components of the computer:  case, motherboard, power supply, cpu ,ram, hard drive, video card, expansion and software.  To get started, I recommend you start with barebones configurations which usually consist of a case, motherboard, power supply and cpu.  Become great friends with Google and search for information you are unsure of.  There are several sites on the web to get barebone systems from which I won’t list here.  Get that first build out of the way and your confidence will increase enough to build a second without going the barebones route.  (Or you may like barebones)  Thanks for the question ninjapenguin981!
