For Diary Software I like Tombo... it keeps each day in a distinct text file in tree view, and offers encryption if you want to keep people from reading your stuff
For RPG's, the only one I know of is Shadowgate... pretty good game, but price is a bit high for something so 'old school' compared to what we are used to on our desktops.

P.S. For movies I usually drop all the way down to between 10-15 fps to reduce 'blurring', although that can leave things a bit choppy, I'd rather notice the occasional dropped frame than have fuzzy pics
