First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Dec 27, 2004 8:57am PSTWell I ended up watching only the extended edition of the first Lord of the Rings movie. After that I watched the Christmas classics Die Hard and Lethal Weapon and then I was pretty much done with DVDs for the weekend. If you had entered the giveaway but didn't check the site on Saturday, head over here to see if you've won. Movie: There is no cure for a bullet in the brain. It is very fatal

Check out www.cleansoftware.org . It's a new index of free Windows software without spyware/adware.
It's pretty new, so it's nowhere near complete yet, but it reminded me of the informative posts I see every now and then of "useful shack software".
It lists apps such as Firefox, Thunderbird, GAIM, Azureus, Shareaza, Ad-Aware, SpamBayes, PuTTY, WinSCP, OpenOffice.org, IrfanView, etc.
Here's the /. article I originally saw this on, with many suggestions of apps to add: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/27/0347214&tid=172&tid=201&tid=185
There is a similar site, www.pricelessware.org , but its interface leaves much to be desired and it's also very outdated. It may be worth a look tho.

You can do all kinds of crazyness with it like attach 20 manhacks to a combine soldier and watch them try and steer him around. Or freeze physics objects in the air and then cause them to crash down.

The extra ending goody for 100% isn't much (just like in the first one), but it's incredibly satisfying to have beaten it that way. The environments in this game are so damn pretty and sometimes come out of nowhere. Some of the boss fights are tons of fun too Walking up on Quadraxis and realizing how large it is made me curse out loud
I originally bought my Cube just to play Smash, but this game (and the first one) I would definitely buy a cube just to play.

Basic controls could work very much like Metroid Prime Hunters. D-pad for movement, shoulder button fires, and thumb strap for mouselook, double tap for jump.
You could easily use the touch screen for the buy menus (which could be simplified by tossing some of the lesser used guns if needed.) A shoulder button could be sacrified for reload (metroid has both of them as fire.) And weapon switching could be on the touch screen, once again not unlike metroid.
Graphically speaking it would have to be scaled down of course, and far lower res textures but I think it could easily run on the DS and be a pretty fun game.

Will I be able to import games or other multimedia releases from other countries to play on my PSP?
Yes and no -- you will be able to play games on a PSP from any country, but you may not be able to play all types of PSP media. The PSP UMD format is fully equipped with region encoding procedures on all formats published to the media -- games, movies and music. However, Sony Computer Entertainment has chosen not to use the region encoding system on videogame titles. Importers should exercise caution in purchasing products from other countries, but import gaming fans will be able to play games from other countries on PSP.
So is it true?
