The PC demo for Need for Speed: Most Wanted was released a few hours ago. You can download it by clicking here.
It’s a pretty kickass game and one of the best of the Need for Speed titles, second probably only to Porche Unleashed. It takes the best of NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 (supercars, exotics, cops, etc.) and mixes it with the NFS: Underground 1 & 2 features like freeroam and customization. I’ll be buying this game for sure! Check out some screenshots I made in this thread on my forums.
A bug was pointed out to me in my Quote Comment plugin. I’ve fixed it and you can grab the new version on the plugin’s homepage. 🙂
If you haven’t seen it, see it. You won’t regret it for a second. One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time.
After like 10 years or whatever, Adam Corolla is leaving Loveline. Luckily though, he’s not leaving to spend more time on his crappy ass TV show, rather on a new radio show that along with others, will replace Howard Stern’s show in various markets.

Yay! The first release canidate (a version being considered for final release) of Firefox v1.5 has been made available. Go get it now right here. 😀

Yep, TVTAD is back from the dead! It was dormant for a while, but now Kn00n has released an all new version, v1.00. You can download it at the official site.
For those who don’t know what TVTAD is, it’s a auto-downloader for torrent RSS feeds. You add as many torrent feeds to it as you want, pick some favorite TV shows, and it watches the feeds for your favorite shows and then automatically downloads the torrents and gives them to your BitTorrent client to download. It’s an awesome program.

Valve, the makers of Half-Life 2, have released “Lost Coast”, a mini-level designed to showcase their new HDR (High-Dyanmic Range) system. If you own Half-Life 2, just restart Steam (if you have it open right now that is) and then right-click HL2:LC and install it. 🙂
Oh, and here’s HDR off vs. on:
(ignore the orange and white talk bubble thing – it’s used to activate commentary in the level)

It may not seem like much, but you really notice it in-game. When you’re in a dark area and then go outside, everything is really bright and over the matter of a few seconds, your virtual eyes adjust and all is good. Oh, and yes, I realize HDR is in Day of Defeat: Source meaning many of you have still seen it, but Lost Coast is still cool as it features commentary from the makers. 😀
Oh, and here’s another prettiness screenshot. 🙂

Sorry, seems Gravatar.com was down and my site was trying to update a cached Gravatar and this was causing major page timeouts here. Anyway, caching as been disabled for the time being and all should be better now. 🙂
Yep, that’s right, on Friday it was announced that some blond guy named Daniel Craig is going to be the next James Bond. Odd that he’s going to be blond as Bond is usually a brown haired guy, but hopefully he’ll be good. We’ll just have to wait and see though.
