Mind of UPSLynx for the week of October 18th

Bobby Miller (UPSLynx) UPS Lynx talks family, Windows 7, DirectX 11, Shattered Horizon, Oktoberfest, and more.

October 23, 2009 12:02 PM ET in Articles, Video, , , , ,

Fooman and Hitman, my sister and brother respectively, were in town this week. Only a fool would believe that they would leave me alone. When I wasn’t dealing with their tomfoolery, I was thinking about Windows 7! The brand-spankin’-new OS was released on Thursday, and no one is more ready for it than Icrontic.

In an ultimate display of progression, Icrontic laid Windows Vista to rest (RIP). We also give some suggestions on what you can do with Vista’s newer, hotter sister. Of course, what is talk of Windows 7 without a little DirectX 11 action? The stunning trailer to Shattered Horizons has been revealed, and it is beautiful.

Finally, the community is exploding in activity. The third annual Icrontic Sekrit Santas is underway, and we are but a single week away from Oktoberfest 2009. It’s going to get epic up in here real quick. Enough talk, time to watch. Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the air.

    Man, your sister's ho- er, just like you.

    Also, I laughed my ass off at the taskbar shuffle.

    Sekrit Santas is up to $30, too, btw. Awesome as always, Lynx.

    Good to know the apples all fell to the exact same point.

    Also, Shattered Horizons looks like it should support controls for spacenavigators. It's not only a pun, it's appropriate!

    In case anyone's wondering, I did not drink that BLL. I gave it a miss because I wasn't feeling well, I think Thrax drank it.

    Nice Job, I was entertained. I was waiting for the punchline with the pictures at the beginning.
