by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 16, 2004 5:57am PST* Yawn * Been up since 4:30AM, as unlike a lot of people, I opted to go to bed early (though I salute those who stayed up all night). Been playing Half-Life 2 since I woke up and like so many are saying, this is one awesome game that was well worth the wait. It's not one particular element that stands out, but everything comes together so amazingly well, it's just very impressive. Now, I must jump back in. Also on FileShack

Was anyone else somewhat disappointed at the lack of hints toward Cortana going rampant? Seeing as how the game is sort of a retelling of Marathon, and Cortana is a really advanced AI who gets to experience all kinds of alien networks, both Covenant and Forerunner, plus all of the major hints in that direction in the books, I was totally expecting her to start going crazy... like megalomaniac Durandal-esque I'm-gonna-figure-out-the-secrets-of-the-universe-and-how-to-escape-its-collapse crazy.
I guess there is ample room for this in the inevitable Halo 3. What with her conversation with the gravemind after the credits and what many people think will be a revealing of humans being forerunners. But I had figured there would be more of this in Halo 2, especially after she talks about all the unlimited power and data in the Halo 1 network when she's plugged into the control room.
Your thoughts?

This kinda sucks. I'm kinda glad Pixar left.
If a game starts up and goes to windowed mode, the whole computer usually freezes, if im in fullscreen and switch to window it will be fine for a random amount of time and then will freeze sometime later.
Any help?
My father is a builder and they just built a new home. It's beautiful, but a bit smaller than their last house. They plan to keep building and selling until they own a large home free and clear with the profits they've made off of the homes they lived in. After flipping homes 2 times, they are nearly there. The real estate market in North Florida has gone nuts. Dad has 6 custom homes going right now, one of which is frigging huge and has a cost of 1.2 million. That's COST, dad is going to make a very nice fee from that one.
Flights went great, but I gotta say, the Memphis airport is a fucking hellhole. It has a very dated look to it and I can't imagine it was attractive even when it was built. It has a 70's highschool, correction facilty type vibe to it. Not attractive at all and nowhere halfway decent to eat. Detroit's airport is pretty cool though, but it needs more Starbucks (like O'Hare, which has one ever 10 feet).
I've been up since 4, was supposed to be home by 12:40 today. Fucking airplane had some problem and we were delayed for an hour while we sat it out on the tarmac. We got into Detroit so late, I missed my plane and wasn't able to get rescheduled until 4:30. Dammit I'm tired.

Calling it will either get you Turk's voicemail or someone from the cast will pick up and talk to you. They all seem alot more eager to talk to random people stalking them than you'd think. It seems to be a way for them to get people to vote for them in the People's Choice Awards.

Snoop Dogg had long wanted to cover "Riders," and The Doors were looking for a way to reinvent their catalog for a new generation. But how did Mr. Schnur persuade them to record the song as the theme for a video game, and then include new lyrics like "Need for speed/I'm trying to take the lead?''
Well, that does it. EA is no longer just destroying gaming, but now destroying American culture. These people need to be put to a stop.
