Xinorbis: Hard core hard drive analyzer

Xinorbis
If you're the sort of person who starts to feel like your new PC with the 250GB hard drive is running out of space about two days after you bring it home from the store, hard disk space analyzers can be your best friend. While we're big fans of WinDirStat for finding the largest files and folders on a disk, Xinorbis packs a few features that WinDirStat lacks.

For example, not only does Xinorbis analyze all of the files on your hard drive, but it will actually sort them into categories like music/sound, movies, programs, graphics, and system files. You can view the results in a pie or bar chart. And you can customize Xinorbis to show files by frequency or size. You can also compare two different hard drives.

Depending on your hard drive size and how many files you've got, it can take a while to run Xinorbis, and it may seem to be unresponsive, but don't give up hope. Odds are it's still working. For ease of use, we still like WinDirStat, but Xinorbis looks like a great tool to have for detailed disk space analysis.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
