This is a pretty cool video I watched last night before I slept. It shows the Xbox Live Arcade, 1-1 Voice chat (which you can do from the dash or any single or multiplayer game), Playing custom music, doing the new reputation thing, and it shows some new feawtures I didnt know about which sound cool is the "Prefered player" and "unprefered player" which tags player names so the matchmaking system will avoid those players or look for those playerse if they're online. Great idea.
Anyways a really cool vid I suggest everyone checkout. Just watch how he gets notifications and 100% access to things no matter what he's doing.

1) Voice chat
Quake 4 includes a voice communication system. You can mute and unmute players by hitting escape, clicking 'Players', and clicking 'Mute Player' from the menu. To disable it, type s_voiceChat "0" in the console.
2) Friends List
If you have a few buddies who you frequently frag with, you can add them to your friends list to easily find what server they're on, and join them at the push of a button. To add a player to your friends list, you must be on the same server as them. Press escape, click 'Players', and click 'Add Friend' on the menu.
3) Tournament Gamemode
A single elimination 1 vs 1 tournament gamemode. The winner of a match will move on to the next round until there is 1 champion. The eliminated players watch as spectators, or battle each other in a practice arena until the tournament is over. By default, the 'enter' key on the keypad joins the practice arena. When in a game, the 'x' key will bring up the tournament brackets.
Quake 4 also has demo recording, which is awesome. Now if they just have a cl_avidemo type command (to dump each frame of a demo into a picture, handy for making videos) it'll be golden.

Of particular note is the new 'tournament' system. From what I've seen, it automatically creates a tournament on a server, matching player against player automatically. Players waiting for their match can spectate the current match, or join a practice area (?!). Seems to work a bit like Rocket Arena 3 did (with separate areas and stuff). Sounds like a total winner to me.

A video game has now been made according to Jack Thompson's proposal. The people at the website old grandma hardcore have made a text adventure and are now asking Jack Thompson to pay $10,000 to charity.

Damn you Sony. I'm [insert minute distance] close to buying a PSP. They look great, they have great game(s), terrific screen, and they are just cool. No doubt about it. I don't want an iPod (wouldn't use it), a DS (kids toy), or a new PocketPC (gone through 2 already, my current one is fine) - I want a PSP. I'm ready to spend £200 on one. £200 to make my daily 2x15 minute train journey less dull.
The one thing, the only thing that's stopped me: the fact I can't write my own games for it. I mean, not legally. We have PSP devkits at work, but of course I can't use those. There are PSP SDKs on the web, but of course they're severely limited and barely usable. Even getting as far as writing a simple "hello world" program takes a weekend, plenty of headscratching, plus old and insecure firmware.
It's just not bloody fair. Bedtime.

So i'm fixing my friends computer and he had a combination of 3,900 malicious software and/or viruses on his computer. I've got most of em licked except for this trojan stuck in WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
Using a combination of EWIDO, AD WARE, MS ANtiSPY, and AVG ANTIVIRUS I got rid of everything except this one (or more virus). EWIDO picks it up with the guardian and says "TROJAN DETECTED - bfchxd.exe" I choose to clean and it doesn't clean it...then it finds other "uhadx.exe" doesn't clean that one...loops back to bfchxd doesn't clean...I can't get it off there. I've tried deleting it..says the file is in use..then i've tried to go into safe mode and delete it but it doesn't show up. Any ideas how to get this shit off there?

How many people are / aren't getting a 360 at release?
I this will be the first time I ever miss / skip a release. It definitely sucks getting older.
Just seems to be an extremely bad time financially for me. While I'm frothing at the mouth to play Madden 360 and Gears of War, I will bite my tongue (hard) for a year / year and a half to see what gets ironed out and where I am by that time.

Conspiracies is a very complicated campaign very free of action. One has near too boundless freedom between the single sectors of the campaign... One can choose arbitrarily between the sectors in the game... Puts under with considerable graphic arts looks whole very solidly packed... And it is this also... Conspiracies delivers a completely new world in OFP and will appear with a lot of luck still for OFP... Most probably, nevertheless, for ArmedAssault!
