FunCom Set to Release The Secret World
If you are a fan of the old-old Sierra adventure games (old-old school, Heroes Quest, Kings Question, etc) and old Lucas Arts adventure games (Grim Fandango, Monkey Island?, etc) then you might have thought that the genre died with those publishers… but it didn’t. In my hunting around for a kick ass adventure came I came [...]

18. February 2008
Hrrm… job posting from Gamasutra suggests that Amazon is working on downloadable game service to compete with Valve’s Steam, EA’s service and isn’t there another already? Direct to Drive or something? I have no idea why Console are so popular.. people LOVE 9 competing choices for the same service… it’s SUPER AWESOME *tugs on hair*

18. February 2008
I’m trying to keep this place children friend… I’m all about the kids… but I saw over on The Superficial that Linsay Lohan did a nude shoot (similar to the Marilyn Monroe shoot by Bert Stern) and clicked on all the pictures… to make sure the facts were being properly presented. You can click over using [...]

18. February 2008
Courtesy of failsalon: This guy is a big fan… of something… maybe tacos? I’m not sure, but to have the gusto to puke them back up on yourself just so you could spend more time looking at them… that’s commitment. He should use this for his Match.com profile… “Likes to have a good time and relax”… all [...]

18. February 2008
So I just got an 16GB iPhone (generous courtesy of SmugMug) and besides it basically being dead-sexy and giving me “Oh… goddamn that’s nice” moments about once an hour when it comes to UI polish, I did notice it randomly vibrated or beeped for about 1/2 of a second randomly throughout the day. I hit up [...]

18. February 2008
Whilst trolling the interwebs for new games coming out of the 2008 Game Developers Conference, I happened to notice Epic and Microsoft getting cozy together on the floorspace. And after doing some looking, it looks like Amazon has a product page for “Gears of War 2″… I wonder if they know something? If It’s true i [...]
Continue reading...Music Using Windows Sounds Only
17. February 2008
This is pretty awesome, it’s music created using simply the system sounds from a Windows install. I was surprised how cool it could still sound… like music is 80% beat and 20% actual sounds? I guess that is why Stomp is able to exist?

17. February 2008
In an interesting strategic strategy, AMD has decided to partner with Dell (who almost dropped them from their server lineup) to release a Three-Core (yea, tri-core) server line of Phenom computers. The icing on the cake? The 3-core (aka “Tard Core”) Phenoms are actually just quad-core Phenoms with 1 core disabled… so that’s awesome. I’ve never heard [...]

17. February 2008
Chris Hunkele sends in news that Toshiba has officially stepped out of the HD-DVD race and will stop producing disks and devices based on the standard. It’s over folks… officially.

17. February 2008
Hot damn, just caught this Alone in the Dark 5 tech demo video from Kotaku and it’s looking hot… for the Resident Evil, Condemned and Riddick fans out there, I think this will whet your whistle.

17. February 2008
This is pretty phenomenal. For the people reading this that used to follow the demo scene from the 90s (Future Crew anyone?), I guess there is a contest out there called the “POVRay Short Code Contest“. In the past contestants would submit pictures for the contest and see who could create the most technically compelling image [...]

17. February 2008
So… I ate this today for lunch: I’m on a new training plan… I’m upping my carbs… boosting my amino acids… tweaking with my reps… keeping those sets strong… got my intake manifold carbureted… you know, all that exercise stuff that weight lifters do. I’m doing it… pretty much got it all tied up now. I’m up [...]
