Evening Reading

by Garnett Lee, Feb 14, 2011 5:00pm PST

Footage allegedly from a pirated version of Crysis 2 made its way around the Net over the weekend. Such material puts news sites in a difficult position. In the modern era, once something like that hits the Net, it's out there, impossible to contain. But it's also content maliciously taken from its owners. This isn't a situation like say a whistleblower coming to the press. It's pirates, ripping off the game. Yes, we cover piracy in the video game industry but basing coverage on pirated material is a whole other matter. We can't stick our heads in the sand and pretend it's not out there, but neither can we in good conscience knowingly use pirated material for a story.

In their response, Crysis 2 publisher Electronic Arts said "Crytek and EA are deeply disappointed by the news. We encourage fans to support the game and the development team by waiting and purchasing the final, polished game on March 22. ... Piracy continues to damage the PC packaged goods market and the PC development community." Should the game's PC sales fail to meet expectations, it's a safe bet there will be plenty of fingers pointed back to this moment.

There was plenty of other video game news today and here are the top stories from the Shack:

And now for something completely random.

Some of you may have heard of Bud Hopkins. He's the "Guru" behind the "Alien Abduction" conspiracy, kick-starting the whole industry and making it profitable by writing a never ending litany of books about people "recalling" their abductions while under hypnosis. Seems a "witness" or two have come forward with some serious allegations regarding his methods. The most damming, his now ex-wife who worked with him on several of them. Her letter is pretty telling and gives you an insight into what these kooks believe and what lengths they'll go to to continue believing.

Minecraft Mod: qCraft?

This is nothing final but I just thought I'd at least post a small screen shot to see what you guys think. This is a mod that I am working on to add Quake along side of Minecraft so when you get bored of mining you can entertain yourself by blowing up quake monsters (who drop resources too!). I'm thinking about just calling it qCraft. But obv suggestions are appreciated. Anyway, tell me what you think.

http://img607.imageshack.us/i/20110214151405.png/

(That's the RL if you can't tell)

What's done so far.

-ShotGun
-Double ShotGun
-Nail Gun
-Rocket Launcher
-Grenade Launcher
-First two mobs from quake(Soldier, Dog)
-Placeable mob spawner's to spawn 1 quake mob of your choice every ~30secs
-Elevator/Placeable elevator item
-Teleporters (Half done)
-New paintings with a pile of quake "sprites" to add fine detail to your maps
-New custom blocks with quake textures
-Health packs/Placeable health pack item
-Green Armor
-Tweaked jump physics

I'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting. But you get the idea.

Did Valve use the HL2 Source Hack in 2003 as an excuse for their inability to finish HL2 in time?

I don't think we ever got an answer to this, I read an interview and Gabe sorta eluded to it but not precisely.
I remember taking the bait. It was 3 weeks till launch date and then the source code was hacked. Gabe then appeared for an interview in Alcatraz saying 'This sucks...' and said the code had been stolen and they would need to delay the game.

Did that hacker save their asses and allow Gabe to use a very poor excuse to make up for it (and never get hit up about it)?

My memory may be bad, i wasn't following gaming sites back then, but wondered what others' opinions are because I sometimes think about it.

I had some excellent games of Dawn of War tonight, with some close losses and some crushing defeats, and I attribute them solely to this custom badge I made, so feel free to grab it and use it yourself!!!

apologies to whoever made it originally if this is a silly purpose!

My PC cause random reboots during some games and benchmarks.No BSOD ,black screen, freezing,artifacts,shutdowns just sudden reboot.Everything started after upgrading from 8800GTS to 460 GTX.These random and sudden reboots are so odd,let me explain one by one.

1.Sometimes games can be played for hours without any issues.
2.Another time having sudden reboots two minutes into the game.
3.,Sometimes get reboots during loading sense.
4.Some games and benchmarks cause reboots continuously but some games and benchmarks don't cause any issues at all.

Done one hour Prime95 and Furmark stability test separately then done both of them simultaneously and all those tests ran without any kind of issues.(during those test CPU temp 65 and GPU temp 75).Upgrade drivers and BIOS of mobo,graphic card,sound card and install fresh copy of windows but still getting random and sudden reboots during gaming.However if i turn on v-sync via in game or nvidia control panel those reboots can be minimize.

Core i7 920@2.8GHz
ASUS P6T SE
EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked 1024MB EE
Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333@ 1066MHz
