This scene from God Of War pretty much sums up the essence of a boss fight, where you, the player, are faced with an enemy five times your size, with huge powers of destruction, fearsome weapons and usually in an arena devoid of any hiding places. Scenes like this often remind me of a line […]
I’m not really a gamer but I enjoy playing a few classic games now and then, but many of the older DOS-based games don’t work on modern-day systems. That’s where DOSBox comes in. I’m going to attempt to play the first game I ever owned, Duke Nukum. I’m talking about the original first one […]

I’m betting that all of us have downloaded something from the internet before– a game, software, image or even video. Did you know that your browser saves those downloads in a separate History? Yep, there is a download history page that you might want to take a look at. This is something I clear out […]
I have been teaching word processing for decades. WordPerfect was what I used and taught for years. Then the college I taught at entered into an agreement with Microsoft and I learned Word and the rest of the Office suite. Now, most of my work is done using Google Docs. Anybody can use the poke […]
I decided to watch some videos only to end up with no video and a black screen in VLC, but the sound was working. The videos worked in other media players. After trying various solutions online, I found one that works. Fixing The Black Screen In VLC, go to Tools, then Preferences, or use the […]
