Late Evening Reading

Got a bit distracted this evening with some family showing up in town tomorrow morning. Oops! At any rate Faylor suggested I start listing the actual gaming related stuff at the bottom of ER just as a cute evening catch up since so much more news passes through here these days. But first wrap your lips around these:

Looking at the new DRM Apple DVD format
Scrabulous debate
Oh and AppleTV to win the format war?
New material almost as black as Maarten
Apparently privacy is a concern for shoppers

As for the the videogame news around these parts today:

Lastly, Time Warner Cable is testing hard bandwidth caps which may start to get a bit common in ISP circles. :(

Thanks AxeMan808! I definitely need to play Painkiller. Also I made great use of the sci-fi books. My brother-in-law is an avid reader so for Christmas I bought him a Barnes and Noble gift certificate. After receiving these books, I decided to pile them all in the box, on top of the gift card. He opened the gift on Christmas Day and immediately had a baffled look on his face as he looked through the well-aged books. He rifled through the pages, looking for something. The look on his face grew more concerned and frustrated, you could tell he was trying to come up with something nice to say. Finally I grabbed the box and emptied it out so he could see the gift certificate. He was much relieved.

Later on he admitted that when he was younger, he had read some of the Drake books.

  Nice!
  
  My WE Buddy hasn't posted about receiving my WE yet. I knew I should have put the remote explosive in it.

  Holy shit! Front Page Sports Football Pro.. That game was the shit back in the day. I'm afraid of how it holds up now a days though.
