Wizorb This is a cross between Arkanoid and an RPG. Well, at least that’s what it claims to be. What it actually is, is a mountain of suck covered in fail sauce. I really wanted to like this game, but it’s a goddamned mess. Beef #1: It lags on my Crysis-eating [...]

I love Gentoo. It “rulez”. It is my go-to Linux distribution for everything: servers, desktops, appliances. It has been very good to me for almost ten years. So why gush ? Because Gentoo has always received a lot of misguided hate, which I feel needs some counterbalancing.
