I thought I would share this with you all! I am the Project Lead for a single-player Max Payne 2 Modification that has secretly been in the works for a couple of years now. We will be releasing our first episode within 2 weeks and so have decided to finally unveil publicly our project. The name of the mod is 7th Serpent and it is in a nutshell an episodic Mod with a brand new story, characters and setting, that retains the same old sublime gunplay and cinematic-flair laden sequences from Max Payne 2.
We have gone out of our way to offer great-looking environments that rival Max Payne 2's, but are yet a completely different experience; We have devised fresh and exciting gameplay scenarios that break new ground from what you have to come to expect from a Mod; We have injected our project with high production values across the board, ranging from a new graphic novel with custom quality artwork to voice overs recorded by talented actors and a full orchestral soundtrack from a big-shot Hollywood composer.
In other words this means on our first release you get to fight in a near-futuristic urban arena and battle armed SWAT teams, military APC's, Tanks, Helicopters, Humvees and do all sorts of cool stuff.
So check us out at the official website: www.7thserpent.com! Shacker Dionex will soon be cooking up a nice trailer for this and once again, the Mod is slated to come out within 2 weeks!

Now, I realize I'm not dslyecxi, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm going to summarize the article I just wrote my personal site ( http://www.polycat.net/ ) here, so if you want more, just check out the actual article: http://www.polycat.net/1153
Basically, the game fucking rocks. That's all that needs to be said. It's nice to play a very team-oriented, fairly realistic shooter in Battlefield-esque matches. The individual pacing of the player movement is actually slow-paced but, somehow, Tripwire has managed to make this realistic shooter a very hectic, tense online shooter. There are no HUD crosshairs, no bunny jumping, no running blindly into capture points in a style reminiscent of Rambo. There's just you sprinting from cover-to-cover while your teammates watch your back and lay down covering fire, and then you putting up the iron sights and delivering that perfect headshot to the machine gunner that was annihilating your teammates.
TL;DR: It's a very, very well-done commercial quality game that has provided for some of the most intense multiplayer experiences I've ever had as a gamer. And this is only launch day. For a mere $24.95, you all can be joining us on the Shackbattle server for some great times.

While I was there I found myself staring at a mighty display of Xbox 360 hardware, the likes of which I've never seen: Headsets, faceplates, hard drives, memory cards, controllers, and -God help me- several boxes of both the Core and Premium systems. This was the first I'd ever seen anyone have them in stock around here.
"Wow" I said to the clerk, "I'm surprised you guys have any 360s in stock."
"Oh" he replied, through braced teeth and pimpled skin, "we don't. We just keep those boxes there for display in case we DO get any."
He picked up and empty box and shook it to drive the point home.
After I killed him, I had to wonder: Why in purple fuck would a store display boxes for the 360, with price tags, along with clearly in-stock 360 gear, if they don't actually have any. Is this common practice?
It's annoying.

Holy shit!!!! this season is the greatest season of television EVER. i cant fucking explain how awesome this show is. If you've ever seen an episode and thought for just a SECOND that it seemed kinda interesting, you OWE it to yourself to go rent every fucking season and watch them if for no other reason than to watch this epic season whenever it comes out on DVD. Not since Band of Brothers have been so consumed by awesome by a tv show.
I give you my sexninja!!!! gaurantee that if you even have a slight interest in gritty cop dramas, or just gritty dramas in general, you will fucking love The Shield, and when you get around to watching this season (season 5) you will be owned beyond ownage.
Seriously.
Fuck.
