Larry Laffer will return in HD and even a mobile format thanks to Replay Games. The Leisure Suit Larry Series was easily one of my favorites on a PC back in the day. Larry was brought back to life in 2003 for a couple new adventures without the help of the original creator Al Lowe. Now once again Larry and the entire series will return with new life. Replay Games obtained the rights to the franchise and plans to re-release the originals in HD and also create new ones. They have also agreed to team up with the original creator Al Lowe, which should make for an added classic Larry touch.
According to EGM “The first project under the agreement will be an HD re-mastered version of the original, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, on every platform Replay can figure out how to port it onto, including: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, XBLA, PSN, On-Live, Steam.”
Needless to say I’m very excited about this and will be first in line to grab the first release. –Greg

Google launched their own public DNS service yesterday. In an effort to (take over the world) speed up DNS resolution, Google created their own DNS servers for the public. I honestly had never thought much about DNS being a bottle neck for surfing the web. Today I swapped out my Open-DNS servers for Google’s DNS servers and punched up a few different sites. I did site that I have been too as well as sites I haven’t been too, I’d have to say they are loading (resolving) noticeably faster! So, maybe DNS resolution could be a real bottle neck, that personally had never crossed my mind. Google could potentially take over the world, if only by offering better services in everything. Good show Google, good show! -Greg

Here are Google’s public DNS servers:

• 8.8.8.8
• 8.8.4.4

and for those of you who may need a little more info on what the heck I’m talking about or how to put Google’s public DNS in to use on your Windows, Mac, or Linux (if your using UNIX, I’m pretty sure you know what the heck your doing) machines, point your browsers too:
