Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 23, 2008 6:14pm PDTI managed to finally squeeze in a little Crysis Warhead yesterday and they certainly
did improve the performance of the game a bit. My machine hasnt changed since the last one
came out yet I was able to bump up a few bits of quality. Oh, and yes the game is indeed
more of the same. But I liked Crysis, so that is a good thing.
- Some stuff here soon!
As for the the videogame news around these parts:
- Nick Breckon bought $300 drums
- GTA 4 named Windows Live exclusive
- Golden Axe: Beast Rider on October
17th
- Bruce Shelley of Ensemble talks about
the closing
- Quantum of Solace trailer
- Halo MMO unveiled, cancelled
- Xbox Live down time of 24hours
- Far Cry 2 trailers galore
- Resistance 2 screenshots and
trailer
- Weekly PC sales, Spore on top
- The top selling console games for
each platform
- Valve doesnt have the bandwidth
for L4D PS3
- Lucas releases Force Unleashed sales
figures
- TF2 not getting PS3 updates
- Far Cry 2 multiplayer screenshots
Lastly, yes we are aware of a couple of minor glitches still in the screenshot system
but hopefully things are a bit faster overall and the go full size button is actually
useful now. Maybe.

Scott Buisson
Quarterback
Arkansas Monticello
Scott Buisson set fourteen records for UAM in his 640-yard performance. The records included an NCAA Division II record for consecutive completed passes in a single game at 20. Buisson also scored seven touchdowns.
Wow... I know nothing about his conference or team, but damn... that's A LOT of yards.
Maybe old and the CGI is weak but I found it humorous.

Looks great. However...the controls kill the game for me. Moving a stick, tilting the controller and hitting the triggers are the same time isn't happening with me at the controls. Its cool they released a video of it so I can make an informed buying decision but man, it seems like they made the controls so unnecessarily complex for such a simple game.

About 3 years ago when i first got it, it blew its head gasket.
To get it home, i took with me from work a full jug of water that they put in those water dispenser thingys. because it was low on coolant.
Next thing i know, i can no longer see behind me on a clear blue sky day. everything behind me was white. It was like i drove out of a thick fog cloud in the mountains on an early winter day.
It appears the leaking headgasket has allowed water to enter the cylinders, producing steam powa!
It was consuming a gallon of water every 5 miles, so i kept topping it up until i got home.
I then ordered a new head gasket and head bolts. left the head off for a couple months, then slapped it back together, applied abit of oil to the cylinder walls.
She's still going strong 3 yrs later of commuting 50 miles every day. Not bad for an ole' banger..
its a 1994 Ford falcon ED.

I'm looking at this function below for my post preview greasemonkey script. Its fine apart from when u start a post with just a www (no http://) it isn't parsed. Anyone got any ideas?
First, here are the specs of my current machine.
Core 2 Duo E6600
ASUS P5N32 Premium Mobo
2 GB Corsair DDR2-800
EVGA Gefoce 7900 GTO
WD Raptor SATA for the System Drive, Seagate 7200RPM 500 GB as a Storage Drive
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Lite On DVD-RW Drive
Antec NeoHE PS, around 500 W I think
I want to update my machine a bit so I was thinking of adding 2 more gigs of RAM (same type), upgrading to an EVGA Geforce GTX 260 or so, and perhaps getting a new heatsink to overclock the processor (I'm still using the stock unit). I have a copy of Vista Ultimate 64-bit I will be installing so I can actually use the extra memory, I'm still using XP atm. Any other suggestions? Is the memory too slow to be worth an upgrade? I'm also trying to avoid getting a new proc/mobo since that would save about $400 and my current setup doesn't seem too dated.

SHACKERS with William Zilliox - Episode 5
http://www.shackvideo.com/?id=12945
Our heroes Hisham Amrani and William Zilliox perform in front of a live Audience at Rogcon in Dallas, Texas at the Hyatt Regency. William discusses his accidental joining of a secret society, Valve sends over a questionable Team Fortress 2 ad, and a brand new Rock Band title is unveiled. Eddie also stops by Quakecon with William to socialize with the BYOC commoners. Some posts of the month are discussed and of course, as always, a dramatic interpretation of a classic Dognose post.
