by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 02, 2007 7:20am PSTI wasn't sure it was ever going to happen, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. going gold. Not sure about the state it'll be released in, as many previews have noted various issues and bugs, but hopefully it will be fun to play. Also on FileShack

Is the Zombie Apocalypse drawing nigh? Probably not, but what if players had the ability to fight the onslaught of zombies in Capcom's Dead Rising with a partner over Xbox Live? Quartermann hints that an upcoming platinum version of Dead Rising will have an online co-op mode. But what about the folks who rushed out and bought Dead Rising last year? They'll be taken care of, too -- but like Quartermann says "for a price, of course."

story:
I was trying to avoid a collision with a vehicle crossing the street infront of me. I didnt hit anyone or anything thankfully. My brakes locked up and I highsided. The bike slid for probably 60 feet with me tumbling behind it like a timbleweed. My left shoulder hit the ground pretty hard (which is what caused the fracture in my collarbone). The fracture isnt serious and its only 50% lateral, near the dystal part of the clavical. Along with that of course I have roadrash. I was wearing two layers of clothing and my helmet+gloves when this happened. I was coming home after a class and I opted out of wearing my jacket since ASU is less than 3 blocks frm my house. Ive never broken any bones before so this is a first for me. Went to the hospital and was there for two hours tops. The pain is not bad at all and is very bearable. My bike is less broken than me!
I do have to say typing with one hand has been interesting

The good:
- The units are pretty cool, especially the GDI ones.
- Very good movie clips.
- Very well unit/structure balancing.
- The story is well introduced. I'm pretty sure I'll love playing this game just due to it's story.
- It kind of feels like the past tiberian games.
- Good performance (also my A64 3200+ and 6800GT becomes slow on ultra high settings, but high is pretty good (although the shadows look ugly)).
The bad:
- The overall game design just looks kind of unreal. Like toys. The game design of C&C 1 and C&C 2 was far more realistic.
- The urban setting (blue zone, skirmish mode) looks awful. The units and buildings look more like toys in the blue zone than in the other zones. Actually the game feels more like Generals 2 in the urban areas.
- The new Ion Cannon is strong, but I miss that nice blue beam :-(.
I really hope most of the game takes place on blue and red zones, because the urban setting just makes the game look awful.
Oh and you can play as NOD too (at least in skirmish): In the skimish menu, just open the fraction menu and press constantly "N" while selecting the disabled fractions.

When you are playing against the computer they will be able to wall climb and get any home run ball close to the fence, where you as the player may only get about one out of 5.
Just silly to think of all the HRs I would have had if this was a tad more realistic and every CPU outfielder wasnt superman.

He's actually the son of our other doxie, Salacious Crumb, and my parents doxie. About a week ago we brought him home. I think he was pretty relieved to leave his mean sisters.

Although Crumb wasn't too happy. He actually crawled out of our bed and went to sleep on the floor the first night the puppy was here.

Eventually father and son started to bond and they started playing together. Crumb even started sharing his chew toys with the pup.

I wish family guy was awesome like this all the time.
Apparently my web hosting company's MySQL tool wont allow me to set permissions on columns within a table or the table itself, only on the whole database. I tried running - REVOKE select (login,password) ON Administrator
FROM blank@localhost- through the sql submitter in phpmyadmin but the user it uses doesn't have permission for the command. So my question is this a big security issue and if so, do you know of any web hosting companies that allow this?

What's a fun, uncomplicated racing game for the PS2? I don't dig the intensive "career mode"-style racing games where you slowly win money and customize your vehicle. I just want a fast-paced racing game (any type of vehicle) with decent graphics and a fun 2-player mode. Bonus points if you know of one that's now in the $20 Greatest Hits series since I'm a cheap bastard. ;-)
Suggestions?

I'm still giddy like a schoolgirl from getting to meet dognose and action roomate; both of them rocked. I wish I planned ahead more so I could have met some more Dallas shackers.
I thought it was hilarious that all the outdoor pools were closed for 'the season' when it was 75 degrees out. I was in shorts and ready to swim and all these weinie cowboys had leather coats on.
Also, I'm used to Minnesota Nice, but the southern hospitality has it beat hands down. I met so many incredibly friendly and generous people down there. Action roomate took pity on a poor stranded yank and took me around town on his day off (it's quite a chore, I'm obnoxious!), and dognose took me to a Chinese buffet that had k-rad fortune cookies. I've come to the conclusion that all Texans are awesome.
tl;dr I'm looking out my window and wishing I was back in Dallas. I'll definitely head back down in a month or two.
