Demon's Souls servers extended again
It is an open source game built on the Freespace 2 engine. This is just a first release, but totally free and I believe it is standalone (still downloading).

First, fuck Microsoft for having a brand new flagship OS and a server OS that can't take one fucking patch without rebooting. How hard is it to restart just the service that was affected? This is really complicated by the fact that Microsoft pushes everyone to use automatic updates, which is enabled OOB for SBS2003R2 and Vista. Not only is it enabled out of the box, but it runs at the same time.
So, let us say you are kicking ass in a game of Zero Hour with your cousins online. Let us also say Vista decided to download an update and so does your server. Well then what happens is that you are in the middle of the game, with other shit open in the background and out of nowhere, your computer just decides to fucking reboot and their ain't shit you can do about it. Also, you don't realize that the server has rebooted at the exact same fucking time. This means when you get back into Windows, nothing related to the network is working. You reset the router, you try a different Ethernet port on your motherboard, then you try a manual IP and you go through all this hassle.
So. Fucking. Stupid.

But Adobe Systems has taken things to a whole new level with the release of Creative Studio 3. Adobe's website uses cookies in such a way that it's not easy to view North American prices and UK ones in the same session, but it can be done. An upgrade to Creative Suite 3 Design Premium from CS2.3 costs an American $471.90 with Californian sales tax. The exact same upgrade in the UK costs £546.38, equivalent to $1080.31 as of going to press. That's a markup of almost 130%, significantly beyond the usual price-doubling that Brits have reluctantly come to expect.

But, Medium is a lot tougher. I have 5 starred about 15 songs so far, but it's starting to ramp up.
I can't imagine Hard or Expert. How is it physically possible to keep up? This shit is faster than real guitar! But I have to say, the better you get at the game, the more fun it is. Being confident in your skills and tackling a tough riff the first time, and doing it perfectly, is a great feeling.
