Hey Pwners.. Well, I have some good news… Team Fortress 2 is 50% off in spirit of a new update — the Scout Update! (http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/) Yeah.. you Pwners heard me right.. they released the scout update last night, so if you start up steam you will get to download all of the update goodies (i pasted the detailed update below for your enjoyment). Anyways.. i took action and hopped on this deal and bought TF2, so we’ll have to get the PwnSquad together and play TF2 (probably this weekend b/c i have an exam on Friday and i’m gonna be busy until then..). Also, they released the meet the scout video, which is great.. just like all the other steam “meet the ___” videos.. anyway i attached that as well.. lookin forward to pwnin noobies in TF2 very soon…

Mary is Three

Hey Pwners,

PwnerChild Mary just turned 3 years old on February 15th!  We had a party, with a sweetarse cake that I, JoeBigToe, created for the occasion.  I will post the image here for all to see.  

There was between 20 and 30 people in attendance, including several of the pwner squad.  They can all vouch that the party was bumpin’ for reals…

I don’t have it, but maybe one of you guys has the sound of her saying ‘noobie’ ???  Good times…

Logo Archive

Hey guys, any way that we could get an archive of all the different logos going? I would be interested in seeing all the different ones for the history of the site. If there would be no good way to do this, maybe you could just send me a copy so I can have them on my computer

Random Crap!

Well, the random crap came in the woot off at approximately 5:30 pm.. just as expected.. Fellow PwnerAndy was online, so i told him to get ready, and BAM!, there it was… Anyways i got pretty lucky and made it to the buy page, and then the order processing page, so i think i got it.. unfortunately PwnerAndy didn’t get it… Since my order is still processing, i thought i would provide you with the screenshot as some proof, for those of you who don’t believe me, but you should because i am in fact a pwner… anyways hopefully it is a good one this time around.. my last two were pretty crappy…

“pwn ya later”,

Pwner Adam

ps: i will update with the order confirmed page later tonight when i get it (hopefully)

Palm Pre and Touchstone

Palm Pre and Touchstone

So… I can’t wait to get my next phone. The Palm Pre. I know, I know, it sounds noobish to venture out of Windows Mobile land and try a whole new OS, but you have to stick with the new sometimes. I don’t know how much I’ll like this phone, but I know I’ll love the Touchstone device.

The touchstone is the hockey-puck like device you see in the image above. This device is a charger for the Pre and all you have to do is set your Pre on the device. The puck has strong magnets in it to secure the Pre down and charges through induction technology.

This is taken from the article at palminfocenter.com (http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/9684/palm-touchstone-hands-on-impressions/) to give you some features the Touchstone is capable of to give you an idea:

As initially referenced by Rubinstein and Colligan, and detailed further by various Palm reps, the Touchstone is an “intelligent” cradle. For example, if a user is talking on their Pre and sets it down on the Touchstone, the phone will switch to speakerphone mode. Accordingly, If a call is received while the users’ Pre is docked on the Touchstone, the user can answer the call and have it automatically answer when picked up. It can also auto answer and jump right into the speakerphone if you prefer to leave it rest on the dock. Do note that no actual speaker or microphone is built into the base of the Touchstone, it’s all handled by the Pre via some clever software integration.”

I’ll let you know when I’m finally Pwning with device, as I do not know the release date as of now. Good Pwning to all.
