So there's a viral marketing thing going on for a new game. I'm sure people have already figured this out, but let's enjoy the fun of it, shall we?
So far we know that the picture was an anagram of dark days are coming. Going to the website gives us this: www.darkdaysarecoming.com which gives you more puzzles.
If you click the "O" you get a picture of a city.
If you click the light in the far left, you get a ring with three tree looking things
That's all I've gotten so far.

Activision has officially announced "Guitar Hero: Rock the 80s" (formally referred to as GH: 80s Edition), for the PS2 only. (Presumably, there will be no separate guitar+game version sold, you're assumed to have the guitar already; also no word how this will come to XBL for 360 owners).
Known songs include:
* I Wanna Rock (by Twisted Sister)
* I Ran (by Flock of Seagulls) <-- DUH!
* Round and Round (as made famous by Ratt)
* I Want Candy (as made famous by Bow Wow Wow)
* Metal Health (as made famous by Quiet Riot)
* Holy Diver (as made famous by Dio)
* Heat Of The Moment (as made famous by Asia)
Game is due in this summer, likely mid-July.

Andrés Becerra Jr was born today at 2:57pm, weighing in at 2 lbs 7 ozs. He is exactly 5 weeks early. 37 weeks is considered full term, he was born at the start of his 35th week, so he is a premie and in the neo-natal intensive care unit. No official length measurement yet but he is about 13 inches long. He is adorable. He is breathing on his own and is alert and has a nice strong grip. He is doing great, and so is Bella.
AHHHHHHHHHH I'M A DADDY!!!
ok, going back to the hospital now with the stuff Bella wanted... this is crazy!!!

I mean think about, name any movie and most of us here can quote it endlessly, whether its lebowski, matrix, dumb and dumber, etc.
But quotes from games?
Name a memorable quote from Prey. or Quake 4. Doom 3. Far Cry. ETC.
The only quotes I can think of aren't even funny, but more "they are waiting for you Gordon..in the test chamber..."
etc.
I know that games are more about the experience of the game rather than sitting there watching people talk (essentially what a movie is) but it seems tragic there isn't more memorable dialogue in games.

okay, this is still kicking my arse. took the hdd out and stuck it in another pc and had no issues (running as a secondary, not primary) and the it's showing no sign of mechanical failure.
it seems to last a few minutes after each reboot before presenting the stalling followed by the freezing. it doesn't matter what apps are open.
i previously had issues with this pc and the power supply (random crashes/reboots) but i replaced it and hadn't experienced any issues until now. the only thing i've changed recently is the addition of 1gb of RAM. it was my first suspect, but i removed it and tried every combination but the problem still occurs.
short of formatting, i have no other ideas. it could be vista being a whore i guess. anyone have any other ideas?

The thing is that my girlfriend is pretty cranky at me because we may not make it to see the support band, because we invited two of my friends to come, and they can't get off work as early as she would like. They can't get off until 3:30pm and we have to drive to Sydney.
So... I guess my question is, at a gig, how important are the support bands to you?

Pretty interesting article featuring anecdotes of anti-choice women having abortions.
http://mypage.direct.ca/w/writer/anti-tales.html
"I have done several abortions on women who have regularly picketed my clinics, including a 16 year old schoolgirl who came back to picket the day after her abortion, about three years ago. During her whole stay at the clinic, we felt that she was not quite right, but there were no real warning bells. She insisted that the abortion was her idea and assured us that all was OK. She went through the procedure very smoothly and was discharged with no problems. A quite routine operation. Next morning she was with her mother and several school mates in front of the clinic with the usual anti posters and chants.
