Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 02, 2006 6:00pm PSTOk so the deal is I actually like this bubble tea nonsense or whatever you wanna call it. Once you get over the idea that they are not little balls of snot in there it's not so bad.
- Cavemen liked clubbing blondes - Pro basketball players have it good - Origami unfolding (LOL GET IT?!!?!) - Apparently dropping out is a bad idea - Babies are nice until we make them jerksLastly, the AOL pay for email thing is causing more of a huff. Oh and recently AOL has been even more of a pain with bouncing emails from our servers. Somehow our server IP block which has not changed in nearly a year is suddenly 'residential' and denied. Probably just coincidence.

Come hang out at my place a week from this Sunday! Let me know if this time isn't good and we'll reschedule as needed. Also let me know if people can bring some other video game systems. I'm always up for my growing collection of board games but for some reason other Shackers seem to think those are weird :(

Max Headroom. The origional pilot was 100% awesomeness. The official first version was not as good, and most of the story got really mixed up. GRRRRRRR. Ah well, the rest of the series still kicks ass.
I wonder what really would have happened to Big Time. Since they are the ones who really discovered Max.
ONE thing out of the 80s that I will always love and will always make me smile are the post-apocolyptic movies/shows.
Max Headroom
Mad Max series
Defcon 4
The Quiet Earth
Blade Runner
Name your other favourite pops-apocalyptic movies/tv series.

1) Galactic Civilizations 2 - I wrote a review of this new 4X Space Strategy game from Stardock ( It can be found here: http://www.polycat.net/1148 ). TL;DR: The game is fantastic, and is one of the best turn-based strategies I have ever played. That said, I don't think the game can really compete with Civilization 4.
2) Dawn of War - An absolutely amazing game; I can't believe it took me this long to play. It was one fo the very few RTSs that I actually played through the single-player (in the original game and the expansion).
3) Age of Empires 3 - I played this one a few times when it first came out, and though it was a fun enough game... But it seems like it wasn't very popular around here. It's a pretty solid game, even if it doesn't bring much innovation to the table, and the campaign is actually very well done.
4) Arrested Development - I had heard all the hype for this around the Shack, but the parts of it that I saw just seemed dull and stupid. Oh how wrong I was. Almost done with the first season and this show has becomeone of the most entertaining and unique comedies I've ever seen.

"You are driving along the road and see a cop wrestling with a armed person on the side of the road. You have a firearm in your vehicle and it you could easily stop and assist the officer.
Do you keep driving or stop and assist?"
Really I don't know the answer to this question but I probably would keep driving as I may just cause the situation to get out of control even more.

-- The Darkness Video Game to Feature First Person Action in Gritty New York Environments and Dark Otherworld --
New York, NY – March 3, 2006 – 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today The Darkness, a premier video game based on the popular comic book franchise. The Darkness is currently in development for next generation console systems and is scheduled to be released next winter.
Under development by the award-winning developer Starbreeze Studios, The Darkness video game is based on the best-selling comic book series from Top Cow Productions and utilizes a Starbreeze internally developed next-generation game engine. The Darkness will feature a distinct blend of dark modern crime drama and supernatural horror with intense first person non-linear gameplay.
"The Darkness video game is a dynamic first person shooter that allows players to call upon the forces of the evil underworld as they fight in gritty, urban environments,†said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director of 2K Games. “Armed with an arsenal of guns, gamers will battle an array of demonic creatures and supernatural powers. The dark and dynamic comic book storyline will translate perfectly into first-person action that fans will love.â€Â
In the game, players assume the role of mafia hitman Jackie Estacado. On the night of his 21st birthday, Jackie is possessed by "The Darkness," an ancient demonic entity that gives Jackie spectacular powers. The story, written by Eisner Award winner Paul Jenkins, follows Jackie and his fight with the fictional Francetti mafia. As the story unfolds, the player will learn to utilize traditional weapons and the extraordinary powers of The Darkness.
The best-selling comic book series “The Darkness†launched in 1996 and is currently published in 19 different languages around the world. Union Entertainment, a feature film and video game production company is overseeing the video game adaptation of the franchise. A feature film based on the franchise, produced by Platinum Studios and Dimension Films, is in pre-production for projected release in 2007.
