Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 09, 2008 6:00pm PDTI got a bit of time to check out GRID and I am impressed. The physics on the cars are a
bit different but after some fussing with all of the options for control I managed to find
something I like. The default settings are a bit squishy and unattached feeling though.
- The physics wonder
boy
- The science of good moms
- Older moms hate
younger moms
- $80K hybrid
As for the the videogame news around these parts for today:

- Call of Duty 5 this year
- Tony Hawk game skipping this year
- Burnout Paradise on PC with

- Brothers in Arms Hells Highway screenshots
- Xbox 360 Wii controller on Tuesday
- LittleBigPlanet trailer
- KillZone 2 teaser
- MotorStorm 2 footage
- Top Spin 3 not very impressive
- World of Warcraft: Lich King details
- Rock Band DLC hits Clash, Blondie,
Sonic Youth
- Race Driver: GRID PC demo
- BioWare backs off of lame DRM
- EA gets huge loan to by Take2
- Atari dissed by Nasdaq
- Rubik's World information
Lastly, keep an eye out tonight for that Gears of War 2 footage tonight. Should be showing up

After such a long break after The Fragile I thought we'd never get music at this frequency. But I loved With Teeth, Year Zero is just now starting to grow on me (didn't listen to it that much at first, loving it now), Ghosts I-IV is pure awesome, and after one listen-thru of The Slip I really like it.
Why does Trent Reznor love us so?

Just a reminder that the games from the quarter finals of the Razer TSL are being broadcast today. This is the biggest foreign league ever for StarCraft, with a $10,000 prize pool, and 1,700 players playing 52,000 games. The games today should be incredible.

I'll be casting too (as Chill) along with some talented people. The art and production on this thing should look pretty professional, as people from Pixar and MTV Europe have helped work on it.
I'll post the URL which contains the streaming info once it's available (closer to the event).

Anyway, it is getting time to get back in the game. Thinking of M3 vs. M5. Considering R8, but, to be honest it may be just too much. I know, here come the GT-R's, but to be honest, we like teh germans.
So, what you say?

I need an 11 minute song for a ninja achievement, but damn if I don't have any mp3's over 11 minutes. Do bands even make 11 minute songs these days?
Suggest a good 11 min tune so I can go buy it off Amazon. :)

Trying to decide between the 9800 GX2 and a 9800 GTX SLI setup.
I don't game at ridiculous resolutions, 1280 X 1024 right now, but maybe 1440 x 900 in the future when I move to a 19inch widescreen.
Suggestions?

What if Valve would make Steam work on a console?
Would you still prefer using it on PC? Would PC gamers give in? Would there be a reason to upgrade your PC anymore?

I'll be at the Union Square Sports Bar around 8 pm to swallow some beer and watch sports (no hockey thanks to that shitty time difference thingy).
