Evening Reading
by Xav de Matos, Nov 04, 2010 5:00pm PDTAlthough this is the post you've all been waiting for--to chat about Minecraft, no doubt--did you know Shacknews has been launching a ton of features over the last two weeks?
- Check out what we've been working on recently:
- Kinect Review
- Homefront 'Single-Player' Preview
- The Latest Regarding the California Bill to Restrict Game Sales
- Interview with THQ Core Games boss Danny Bilson
- Interview with Kaos Studios' Rex Dickson on Telling Stories in Games
- League of Legends Adding Battle Training Tutorial Mode; Hands-on Preview
- Killzone 3 Beta Preview (Part One)
Criterion staff assisting Ghost Games with Need For Speed: Rivals
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified first DLC is Xbox-exclusive
Hotline Miami 2 preview: curtain call
Warning: PS3 firmware 4.45 crashing consoles
Dragon's Prophet preview: how to catch your dragon
I don't want to give it too much credit just from the demo but it seems to be way better than the ones they've been putting out.
I guess the real question is.... why are they still putting out NFS games, they already killed the franchise.

I've been in a mood for westerns since I picked up the Man With No Name set on bluray a while back.
I haven't seen this one since I was a kid! :)

Kinect Adventures froze on the loading screen. Now my XBox loads up the new loading screen, then freezes. Anyone else experience anything like this? YAAAAAAAY KINECT!!!

In some ways, I liked it better than the first one: Jeff Bridges just didn't work for me as a villain in the first one, while Rourke did (I didn't even think the whip thing was silly), and the Tony - Rhodesy relationship worked pretty well.
However, it feels like it could have been so much better. Tony-Pepper felt shallow and rather pat, and while thinking of the Rourke as the villain, I just don't see why they decided to portray Tony's father as actually being a selfless hero, while Ivan's father was "just in it for the money". Are we afraid of villains that have somewhat legitimate motivations? Wouldn't it have been more intriguing and more emotionally engaging if Ivan, an undeniably evil man, in this particular case had a legitimate grievance?

http://www.larianvault.com/ ** get either now direct from the devs store **
Remember if you want Divinity II - The Dragon Knight Saga(which contains both the remastered -- Divinity II and the expansion Flames of Vengeance) Steam has the three armor set bonus so you may want to wait for tomorrow http://store.steampowered.com/app/58540/ its a tough call, but the freaking loot I can not resist it...
Now its time to install the water pump for the comp and start Round 2 - Fight! with my Kinect, its not over yet, we will see what happens with the re calibration.
the armory loot had quite a few upgrades right off the bat. grenade, shotgun. nice. what sucks is that my level 60 pearlescent I got from crawmerax is already a piece of shit, a level 66 shield in the armory had a higher capacity! DOH.
haven't gone to crawmerax yet, I hope he's not level 72 or 73 :X

Dead Before Dawn:
http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=7171
95 rating! It is based on the Zach Snyder reenvisioning of Dawn of the Dead, Crossroads Mall and whatnot. I sound-looped and locked up and missed the finale. Left 4 Dead 1 only, fine with me. L4D1 still rocks.

so I got a GTX 280 with a water block and ram sinks on the way. I've never done watercooling before and I think I may ditch the gear on it and go back to air cooling with it. I am somewhat interested in doing it though so here are some questions.
How easy is it? It's got 1/2" barbs on it and I was looking at heater cores on ebay. I all ready have a TRUE on top of the AM3 board but I am thinking of maybe picking up an additional water block for that too.
Have water blocks changed much in the last 10 years or is still focusing on the heater core?
And finally, water and electricity don't mix. Anyone know of people that sprung a leak and toasted their entire system?
mancide's Kinect review of doom!
TL;DR: I’ve been testing Kinect during the beta, and I think you should pick one up. I’ve enjoyed this more during the beta test than the entire time I’ve owned my Wii. Bundles with a console are still available http://amzn.to/dfomXv
