Dead Horde Review

Dead Horde is a top view, arcade style Zombie killing game.

The graphics and sound are adequate.

My problem with it was the gameplay, which mostly consists of holding the trigger (and all you need is point in the general direction - no precision required) and shooting at small groups of zombies while running in the other direction.

That is pretty much it. There is not much strategy involved, and for me, not much fun either.

You can also buy upgrades at a shop. While they do make some difference, it is not as much as I'd like.

The game has vehicle sequences. One felt like a bonus round, where you went around running over groups of zombies with an Humvee. 

Another was a simple "puzzle" - you get into a forklift to raise a metal structure. The problem was - the first time, it didn't show me the control system (up and down arrows). So I was going around trying to figure out what to do. The second time I entered it displayed the controls. Personally I'd just go with the regular weapon controls.

On regular play and on the forklift, I had annoying clip problems on doors and also on the slightest terrain variations.

To be honest, there were many zombie flash games over the year that I've enjoyed more than Dead Horde. Not recommended.

[Fixed] Just Cause 3 Mouse offset

I've sort of "fixed" my mouse offset problems and cursor exits from Just Cause 3. For whatever reason, both seem to happen sometime, specially if I need to change focus from the game. Sometimes just going to another app and returning solves it, otherwise if I go to Options, Graphics, and turn full screen back on (or turn it off and on again), it seems to get fixed. However, still annoying.

Solved - You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys" - VMWare Workstation 8

I have just installed VMWare Workstation 8 over my old VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7. On my first run I already got the error message: Could not get vmx86 driver version: The handle is invalid. You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys". Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Failed to initialize monitor device. Obviously, I was concerned, but there is a simple way to solve it - just right-click the VMWare Workstation icon and use Run as Administrator. This is a bit annoying, but at least it is easy to solve. Update: I forgot to mention it, but as Dave said on the comments, you can right-click on the program shortcut, choose Properties, Compatibility tab and check Run as Administrator so that it will always run properly. Thanks, Dave!

Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is shaping our Future - Book Review

Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is shaping our Future - by Ashlee Vance - is a very entertaining biography about Elon Musk (which as the title says, is the biggest drive behind SpaceX and Tesla, and is also involved in SolarCity - all companies with possible huge effects in the world).  The story half reads as a bigger-than-life fictional account of what a genius industrialist goes through to save the world from pollution (with Tesla and SolarCity) and to get us into space. The fact that it all happened makes it even more interesting. It also made me really want to get a Tesla. Well, kind of... The triumphs really do, but the listings of problems don't (irrelevant either way as they are not available here)... Less revisions and "free" gas would be great, though. I'd also love to get cheap solar from SolarCity! Overall, very entertaining, and pretty much recommended for anyone interested in any of the companies.
