cooking an Intel Pentium 4

so i decided to have some fun with an old Pentium 4 and dell motherboard i found in my box of old computer stuff. i put thermal paste of it and a metal lid i filled the lid with water and this is what happened.

at first not much happened... but after 3 minutes i got steam and bubbles.

as soon as it started to boil i threw in some rice to see if it would cook it.

this thing was so hot it bowed the board!

i let it sit for about 5 more minutes and believe it or not thermal protection never shut off the system until i had boiled water for well over 10 minutes. 

finally i decided to pull the rice out and see if it got cooked.

so there we have it, i have proved without a doubt for once and for all that the Intel Pentium 4 can be used as a rice cooker. this is one tough little CPU and a proud member of the Intel family forever.

Minecraft Xbox 360 edition review!

Minecraft has come to Xbox 360!

that's right today i will be reviewing Minecraft Xbox 360 edition, coming in at 20$ or 1600 ms points its a pretty decent price. whether you have had Minecraft on the pc or iphone/android you will enjoy this game very much its very fun to play and goes well with Xbox live. you can play single player multiplayer (up to 8 players) or (IF YOU HAVE AN HD TV) split screen with up to 4 players!. worried about pesky griefers? there are many ways to prevent them such as the trusted player mode witch only allows those who you select to mine/place blocks pvp (player vs player access chests furnaces or even crafting tables!. there is also a option under "host privileges" accessed by the "back" button on the controller this allows you to enable/disable TNT and fire spread, if you make someone a moderator they will also be able to use this and the kick players feature. there are also some skin packs to add style to you're Minecraft character most of them cost ms points there are a few that are free such as "the Minecraft birthday" skin pack to celebrate 1 year of Minecraft Xbox 360 edition. but enough ranting lets get to the screen shots and review!

now this game is not all good so lets compare pro's and con's

pro's: strongholds villages pretty much endless possibilities to build  mines houses city's and towers thanks to creative mode there is also voice chat in game.

con's: no text chat for those of you without mics, multiplayer can be a bit laggy and buggy depends on internet connection of the host, limited world space its a decent area to build in though, no massive multiplayer games, skin packs cost money, no texture packs yet,

now that we have the pro's and con's out of the way lets get down to the rating i give it a 8.5 of 10, but keep in mind i have always loved minecraft.
