House of Cards on Netlflix is great

Netflix has an original series for their Watch Instantly streaming platform called House of Cards. It basically showcases the dirty side of politics by showing it to you from the perspective of a man looking to become president of the United States. The lives he destroys, the people he uses, it's all an amazing trip. The main character is evil, there is no other way to explain it

The show occasionally breaks into the main character's imagination where he will get into a dark explanation of his situation or reasoning. I'm reminded of the voice overs in Burn Notice, before the series began repeating itself endlessly that is.

All 13 episodes of the first season season are up for view on Netflix's Instant View Streaming service.

[Quake] Rune Quake is still awesome

With over a decade out of date, I hopped into the Rune Quake server: quake.shmack.net for some time to decompress from a busy, busy day. The players were ridiculously skilled, but the challenge was fun. I got murdered, no way around that though.

They have really expanded the runes system on Rune Quake, the quake and armor rotates randomly between green, yellow, and red. Grappling hook is usable by all. All the server settings can be changed by voting. Maps change frequently. It's a blast from the past.
Even if you aren’t that skilled, the runes really change things up and keep it interesting. No downloads required, just grab quake grab your favorite quakeworld client (I suggest darkplaces) and hop on.

Once you are in game I suggest going to the command console (~) and using the following commands:

bind q +hook
bind e rune-use
bind f rune-delete
