Between my intermittent coughs, Melody and I rang in the new year with our sore throats and hoarse voices as we squeaked &#8220;Happy New Year!&#8221;. With the snowstorm and both of us being sick, we ended up spending much of our time indoors. This also gave us some time to revisit the post-apocalyptic ruins of Washington D.C. in <a href=\"http:\/\/fallout.bethsoft.com\/index.html\">Fallout 3<\/a>. The game is very reminiscent of our favorite role-playing fantasy game <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elderscrolls.com\/games\/oblivion_overview.htm\">Oblivion<\/a>, but with guns. With this new generation of video games demanding more and more processor juice, though, I ended up overclocking my 2-year-old processor. So far, I&#8217;ve got my 2.4Ghz Athlon X2 running at 2.75Ghz using an 11x multiplier with minimal voltage increase. My hope is to get it up to 3Ghz with a little more tweaking.
