Damn Jon

Phantasy Star, Diablo II for half wits version. I have to give props for popping out the old Dreamcast though. I guess some guys wrote linux for the Dreamcast. Wow talk about a lot of time on your hands.

Jon you may want to check out Doom III at someone house first. From what I understand the graphics are amazing, but the gameplay is really similar to Doom & Doom II. I mean I dig that. But some people are saying the whole running around the rooms looking for keys and fighting hordes of monsters is not the most innovative game plus the plot line is a bit weak compared to other current games. Then again you loved Serious Sam. Anyway I think Ill like the game.

I guess there is one feature everyone seems to hate. You can't hold a flashlight and a gun at the same time. Someone took it in their own hands and released a 'duct tape' mod into the wild to allow you to use the flashlight with your gun out.

Art, I watched the trailer, but what is that? A cut scene? What does the game look like?

Rudy, I read about that event at sfgate.com and it was just bad. Bush just was stumbling all over himself once he was off the scripted material and handling Q&A. The guy cant think for himself. He just puts his foot in his mouth at every oppertunity.

I have discovered a new pet peev. I have a program called Style XP. It is a commercial paid for piece of software that allows you to work with visual styles in win XP, skins, themes, login screens etc.. Well, you can download the themes and skins from their site, much like Winamp. The catch, a lot of the files you download are .exe files that when launched, ask you up to three times to install 'extra' features, aka spyware, before you can actually unpack the theme files. They don't even install the themes on your system. All the .exe does is allow you to view the zipped contents in a zip program. Fuckers. I hate sneaky spyware. These theme packages are total trojan horses. If you are not reading correctly or you accidently select yes or no, you get drilled. BTW, just because 'no' was the answer to block the install the first time, does not mean the next question won't have the Yes and No reversed. Ie, question #1 Do you want 'such and such' feature to be installed on your computer? Then question #2 Do you want to miss out on 'this or thats' valuable features? So, if you answer 'no' and 'no' you get screwed. If you answer 'yes' and 'yes', bam screwed also. So you have to go real slow and read all the questions thouroughly.
