The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Using a good antivirus

Using a good antivirus program and having strong firewall software installed is important to me b/c I'm not behind a hardware router or hardware firewall. My DNS server is my cell phone-- not exactly the most secure method to use, but I don't have much choice. I could build a box to sit outside my router, and connect IT to my cell phone, but that would require another dedicated PC. For the time being, I'd rather have reliable preventative measures in place.

At some point, I'm hoping to switch to a PCMCIA card instead of my Blackjack for my ISP. At that point, I can probably find some cheap parts, build a Linux box, put a PCMCIA reader in it, and put it outside my router. Linux drivers for those cards are out there. Or find one of those really expensive routers w/ a PCMCIA card built-in. It might be worth it...

By the time I get around to doing that, I'll probably have cable available at my house.

Slayer: NutSack was funny... BikiniSyrup is not as funny, I don't think. You should go back to NutSack.
