Chances are, if you’re reading this blog (and you aren’t any of our mothers), you know your way around a computer. If you can’t fix a problem the first time, Google is just an Alt-Tab away and you’ll usually get your answer shortly. And boy, isn’t it frustrating when even that fails you, because it relies on a critical mass of people having had the same problem as you before.

In case the banner above and the screenshot below aren’t enough, go check out our latest game! It’s called Cave Worm and adds a humorous twist to classic Helicopter gameplay.

Okay, maybe that Christmas when I was 9 and woke up to a shiny new N64 with Goldeneye and Ocarina of Time, but you get the picture. And the best part is that it’s surprisingly worthwhile to build your own computer.
Building Your Own PC, Pros:

We are Stephane, Michael and Michael (hereby known by their last names, Hoffman and Darwish, for obvious reasons), three recent McGill computer engineering graduates with a passion for not getting real jobs.… Continue reading
