Gotta give some sports game love too.

NFL 2K, enjoyed playing it with friends a lot more than madden at the time.

Fire Pro Wrestling D - absolutely one of the greatest wrestling games of that generation IMHO. I remember my friends and I trying to figure out WTH we were doing for awhile before getting the hang of it.

Plus Apparat w/ Soap&Skin is always a good listen

I have to second the get your own laptop.

The company I work for has software that does hardware / software inventory regularly. So additional hardware added can and will show up.

Also, when hired we are told in in uncertain terms that tampering with the laptop can and will be grounds for termination.
Booting off of an external drive is ill advised as many work laptops have restrictions to the USB/thunderbolt ports as well as modifying bios settings.

Lastly, using corporate hardware (be it a cell phone, or a laptop) should never be used for personal use. It’s a good way to lose your job. I know more than one person in my career that lost their job either from texts sent from a work cell phone, or using their work computer for personal things. It’s just not worth it.

Thank you for the opportunity and for being so generous. I’ve been interested in God of War for quite some time. Funny enough I played Persona 5 Royale all the way through this year, and it was the first time in quite a while I got the opportunity to give the time necessary to complete a game.

Happy Holidays!

Growing up there weren’t a lot of Star Trek games. The closest thing I had was Trek on my IMSAI 8080 in the 70s as well as the Star Trek pinball game and then the Star Trek Arcade game in the early 80s.

In the mid 80s I tried Kobayashi Alternative which was a buggy mess that crashed perpetually, but did enjoy The Promethean Prophecy,

However the games after that overall just were pretty bad until Starfleet Command, in which I always enjoyed that series with III getting more hours than the rest. Elite Force series had some good (and bad) ones in it as well but nothing the RTS features of Starfleet Command always got me.

My only Sabrent Rocket SSD i had started failing within 6 months. Got it in Jan, cut it into pieces and threw it away in June.

Yeah, we have a company that does e-cycling events every month. I usually go there once every 3-4 months with my various electronic goods,

It costs (currently) $5 a drive, but they shred the drives on site, AND bring you to where they shred them to watch to ensure they get shredded.

I personally remove the hard drives from any enclosure/laptop/desktop after wiping as a force of habit, as they charge an additional fee to pull the drives out for you.

If you’re in the states, you can usually look on your county government’s website for when e-cycling events occur. The ones where they’re quarterly at a centralized location such as a mall parking lot, or a park parking lot, you’re likely going to have to rely on them shredding elsewhere and you cannot be certain they’re destroyed. However, the places that do the e-cycling at their own center, you’ll likely be able to do the above and watch the drives be shredded.

As others have said, destroying with a drill or the like is more than adequate, however the MOOP from it isn’t great for the environment, animals, or your feet if you happen to do the destruction inside / outside your home.

I’d say it depends, do you have any long-haired cats?
I have had no luck with them in in the past, and have had to avoid them now as we have long-haired cats, which clumping kitty litter with long-hairs is usually a disaster with litter getting stuck on them.

I just think its part of the daily ritual, or in my case multiple times daily due to having a herd of cats. I don’t enjoy it, but its better than the house smelling like cat waste.

I have regularly mentioned to others how I’d like to have a mime field around my house to keep those pesky kids off my lawn. Now I have a visualization for those that don’t understand!

Under there.

Beat me to it by a minute… First one that came to mind, well second, with the first being the obvious Tomb Raider
