It takes a good while for it to find other players...and if it finds one or two, it just tells me I lost connection with them after the timer runs out. =/

A radical idea to improve the spectacle of Formula One and make overtaking easier has been proposed by Williams team co-owner Patrick Head.
The veteran says races can be boring and wants the fastest cars to start at the back and the slowest at the front.

I'm having a few very concerning hard drive related issues. First, ever since I reinstalled Vista (upgraded to X64) I've been getting these 10 second pauses where everything freezes a couple times a day. It's not processor related, because my G15 doesn't freeze and I can see the usage. But the hard drive light on my case is solid during that time.
Then today, I got two bluescreens one rebooted the computer then I checked for it to not reboot, and it blue screened again. It was related to NTFS.sys.
So I ran checkdisk on my 3 drives, and when it does my main drive with Windows it either stalls and doesn't finish, or I get a strange looking blue screen with
STOP: C000218
something about not being able to load a registry hive in
systemroom\system32\config\security
I've also had trouble with really weird file permission settings ever since I reformatted, but I thought maybe something just went wrong. But now I'm thinking they could be related?
I don't know, I just need to know if this is my drive dying, or if it's some stupid windows issue and I need to reformat again

If you think about it, we got alot of WW2 games but not a whole lot of GOOD games. I'm ready for another AAA title in the WW2 era. What's it been, 5 years since that era of games hit its peak?

I bought it when it first came out but ended up trading it in after about 5 hours play. Any people swear by it here, and recommend i grow a pair of balls and just live with the save system? The reason why i quit was cause i died about 6 times (damn convicts in jeep boss) and i refused to lose exp so i would restart every time. I read a few things that apparently you just get used to it eventually and it becomes less frustrating after a while.
I feel like a newb for basically dismissing a game because of its save system, but my god i hate losing progress. Anyone here a+++ recommend it?

[03:01] spam@cawdell-smith.com: i know the secret to reheat mcdonalds
1) Having an address spam@ is probably not the best idea.
2) Do people really have a need to reheat mcdonalds? I'm having a hard time coming up with something worse than reheated mcdonalds "food."

You can nitpick the gameplay something chronic, but holy shit is it still a beautiful and engrossing game to play. Starting a journey across the world towards your quest destination, only to take a shortcut through a forest and stumble upon a dungeon which you end up exploring. Emerging back to the surface a couple hours later with a fuckload of awesome loot and some new skills. Getting "lost" and doing my own thing is my idea of awesome gameplay, especially when you aren't bugged every 5 minutes to continue on your original goal (Crackdown failed at this big time) which ultimately sucks the immersion right out of it.
It's easily up there with some of my greatest games of all time. It's a work of art. If any Beth employees are reading this, good luck on Fallout 3 cause you guys rock the fucking socks.

I am a local graphic artist (2d, 3d, animator) who is looking to start some collaborative development on PC, XBLA, iPhone or Wii games. Basically some experimental and very casual after-hours projects that could lead into who-knows-what. I am interested in games that emphesize visual design, control and simplicity.

Obsidian, the company behind KOTOR2, Neverwinter Nights 2, and the new Alien RPG, have announced their new game.
They describe it as:
“A modern day espionage focused action/RPG that takes you on a suspenseful ride in the vein of James Bond, Jack Bauer, and Jason Bourne. Take a wet-behind-the-ears greenhorn agent up through the ranks to become a bona-fide super spy.â€Â
On the combat:
“Battle system is similar to Mass Effect but have more in common with Uncharted. It revolves around real time combat with an emphasis on gun play and high tech gadgets.â€Â
Sounds FUCKING AWESOME. I love Obsidian, I love espionage and spy movies, and I can't wait for thsi game.
PC, 360, and PS3. whee!!

My wife goes to bed early. I whip out the drum kit. She says, "just don't blast it." I turn down the sound and drum gently. I fuck up enormously. When the volume's cranked and I'm battering away I 5* songs on Hard, even sometimes Expert. This light tap shit is for the birds!
