A Look At Battlefield 2142

Posted on by

Edit @ 4:20PM: Haha, I just realized that outta habit and lack of sleep, I typed “1942” rather than “2142”. Whoops!

The guys over at BF2S.com managed to check out Battlefield 2142 recently at E3.

Their opinions of the game as well as a great video and some screenshots can be found on right here. If you’re into first person shooter games, I highly recommend you read it! 🙂

DDoS

So the server this domain is on has been being DDoS‘ed all day, resulting in it being down for most of the afternoon. Luckily my host rocks and resolved the issue fairly quickly, but of course it’s still having issues here and there. Just thought I’d let you all know what’s up. 😉

Half-Life 2: Episode One Is Now Pre-Loading!

Posted on by

Starting today, you can pre-load the PC game “Half-Life 2: Episode One“. Episode One picks up where Half-Life 2 left off and has you venture to the outside of City 17.

Now, the game doesn’t come out until June 1st, but if you pre-load it before hand, you’ll have the game ready to go to be unlocked for when it’s released. Then you can play it moments after it’s released. Not to mention that if you purchase it before it’s released, you’ll save 20% off the purchase price which is $19.95 if you buy it by itself (other packages that contain other Valve titles as well are available), which is a pretty good deal if you ask me. I’m already pre-loading it and I’ll be pre-ordering it in the next couple days. 🙂

Bad Behavior 2 Pre-Release Versions

Posted on by

Bad Behavior, the plugin that I use to block bad bots from my site (so they can’t waste bandwidth or spam my blog), has been updated. The new version, 2, is still in alpha/beta, but it’s very stable. It’s just lacking a few features, such as a full options page.

With that said, it’s well worth the upgrade. Since I’ve installed it, I’ve only gotten a couple spam comments on my blog as opposed to before when I was getting a decent amount (Spam Karma 2 would still catch them and mark them as spam, but it was annoying anyway). And even better, the bots that got through the current version I’m using will be blocked in the final version.

So, if you’re looking to keep bad bots from accessing your site and posting spam, make sure to get the new version of Bad Behavior! 🙂

Holy crap, check out this crazy advertisement from the 80’s! (larger version)

A video used to be embedded here but the service that it was hosted on has shut down.

There’s also a similar (but not nearly as good) one from Saab, also from the 1980’s: (larger version)

Thanks to all those that posted and pointed out the above videos to me on my FinalGear.com Forums. 🙂
