Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Feb 22, 2006 6:50pm PSTWell that misleading advertising story is pretty interesting stuff. There certainly is no question that there have been a number of videogame ads over the years that have done similar things. Maybe we'll see more money spent on development and a little less on cut scenes. Hah!

Or is there another mp3 auto-tagger app or service that will do a better job?

I can see how it adds to the difficulty and possibly the tension but the frustration goes up on the same scale as well :( - and I'm only 10 minutes into it.

The only thing that it doesn't have that I really wish it had was multiplayer.
The space combat isn't as involved as Master of Orion II, but with the inclusion of fleets and starbases, you can have some pretty awesome tactical battles occurring.

Did it suck or what?
I keep hearing Passive used to promote TV crap and I like Passive for the APC sound it has, although it is a bit generic.
So I go to Amazon and the album is getting ripped to shreds by people claiming to be Maynard fans, an unusually high number claiming it's too political and lacks ideas.
I pegged most Tool/APC fans to be on the left anyways and even they are bitching about this album only being for zealots.
I trust your opinion Shack, did it suck or what?

One of these games was the Prince of Persia 2. Unlocking it worked like charm, but for some reasons none of the videos seem to have come with the DVD... so while I can play through the entire game all the cinematics are missing... which kind of sucks to say the least. I can unlock and install each game 5 times, and redownload them via a link I got, so I'm going to try that later sometime and see if the videos work then.
I have one code left and the following games to choose from
-Farcry
-Ground Control 2
-Brothers in Arms
-Codename Panzers
-R. Burns Rally
-The Incredibles
and Tribes 3
What game would you unlock above all others and why? For me personally the Rally game and The incredibles are out of the race. Racers and platformers is something I rather play on a console. Other than that I'm still very much undecided.
Also, I have another unrelated question. What's a good DVD/CD burning software besides Nero?

Who has Disc 4 for the 5th Season of The Simpsons (DVD). I misplaced mine and really want to watch/have it. No idea what I did with it. I went through my entire DVD collection (thats over 100 movies, and 40 box sets) and did not find it in any. Thats the only disc in my entire collection that I am missing. I would gladly pay for it.
Thanks.

well whoop-diddy-doo. Anybody without the latest service pack should expect this, but now microsoft has to waste their time and respond to this non-sense.

The last 2 songs on Medium are raping me. I can't even finish them.
First the very fast notes where you toggling between a 2 button chord and a single I just cant get the rythym right and it sounds like donk donk donk.
Second is the density of Hmmerdowns and Pull offs. The hammer downs I can kinda get, but the pull offs make you hold down all the buttons in advance, meaning I have to think about them farther in advance.
Any tips?
