by Maarten Goldstein, Dec 08, 2005 8:04am PSTThe past few days I've been playing through Condemned: Criminal Origins on the 360, and it's another fine game from Monolith. The melee combat is incrediby satisfying, with your choice of pipes, planks, papercutters, axes and shovels among other things available for killing all kinds of crazed druggies and hobos, plus there are some "finishing" moves as well. The entire game has a very unsettling atmosphere too, and I'm actually finding it far more spooky in parts than F.E.A.R. (which never really scared me). I think I'm at the final parts of the game right now, which means I'll be completing it in under ten hours probably which may make it hard to justify the sticker price for some but I have to say its worth it.

I was trying to think of simple games that use stuff like Christmas ribbon or lightbulbs or wrapping paper or any of that sort of stuff that people have around the house this time of year. For example after watching 'Survivor' last night, one of the challenges they have every year is where 1 person or a group of people are tied up in rope (christmas ribbon?) and have to unwrap themselves.

a) get Applecare for £279 and sell the Powerbook for an x86 one down the line
OR
b) spend £1400 (and sell the Powerbook for ~£750 or so) on a 15" Powerbook with
Larger, higher resolution screen
faster processor
faster gpu with twice the vram
backlit keyboard
dual layer superdrive
larger harddisk
longer battery life
years warranty
so, basically, £279 vs £650, FIGHT

However, when I try to contact them, its always like pulling teeth. For example, I sent out 3 different e-mails this morning. One to newegg trying to figure out why an order was stuck on step 1, one to Dell trying to figure out why they like to rape me w/o lube, and another to another vendor wondering where my shit was.
The other vendor e-mailed me back within 30 minutes. Dell had me back in 3 hours. Newegg? Still waiting. I gave them a ring and I got a guy that was about as helpfull as a kick to the nads. The last time I had to talk to Newegg I got about the same deal. Has the sucsess gone to their heads? Are they high off of their fancy catalogs they send out now? Or am I a perfectionist that wants my every whim looked to lest I become a whiny bitch?

Because it looks fucking sweet in SD. It's like the Halo 2 upgrade, everything is much crisper and I swear the framerate is better. Not a single frame dropped. Beautiful.

My family has a pet cockatiel, Spike. ( http://the_archvile.shackspace.com/birdonadragon1.jpg ) He's learned a lot of funny things, like whistling the song from the Bridge Over The River Kwai, but one is my favorite: http://the_archvile.shackspace.com/birdsong.ogg
He bobs his head up and down as he does this "chant". He "learned" it when my sister was humming "Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit" when she had him in front of a mirror. Now he does it whenever he hears that song, a Sousa-like patriotic symphony song, or a slow prog house song.

The movie was pretty good. It was quite slow at times and definately "disney'd up". The acting by the kids just made me cringe at times. Otherwise it was pretty well done.
Something that is silly and not really explained Ok these are jsut some pussy little kids, all of a sudden you had them a sword and they are fighting huge monsters with ease. What? It would be fine if there was a reason WHY.
I'd say 8/10 overall.

- fun
- small install footprint (it's not my computer)
- either turn-based or doesn't use mouse much (this touchpad thing blows)
- either 2D or early 3D
Suggestions? Maybe an SNES or Genesis RPG I might not have played before? Looking for something different.

Mac Mini + Mac OS X Server v10.4 = $1,198.00
Power Mac G5 Dual-core 2GHz + Mac OS X Server v10.4 = $2,598.00
Both have 1GB of memory and at least a 80GB HD
I plan to use it for VPN/FTP/iChat/Web hosting/Email but not heavily at most somewhere between 5-7 people connecting at one time.
Can the Mac mini function as a small server?
