Gamer Nerds!

Wow, two immortalizations of theActionTeam in one year. Were on a roll. Given the attendance of GenCon SOCal, there is a 1 in 3 chance we will be in that one too. Well maybe not. That was a random find, how did you run across that one? God we are those guys. You know the ones we used to make fun of and give names.

In other news, Elric, this should interest you. The new game CounterStrike: Source, based on the Half Life 2 Steam Engine, is out as a one level Beta. Mostly a show piece of technology at this point though. Probably many months from going Gold.

Rude: I saw Shaolin Soccer. I thought it was pretty good but it kinda dragged on after a while and got a little too over the top. I never got to into Hong Kong cinema, so I probably didnt get a lot of the references.

I have been reading like a mad fool lately. I just finished Ghost Soldiers, a true story about the Army Ranger rescue of POWs left from the Bataan Death March in the Phillipines. I liked it a lot. Some of it was tough to read from an emotional stand point (It delves into great detail about the march and the POW treatment by the Japanese captors). Very good research and quite enjoyable though. I also just finished The Dark Fields. I really liked that book. A fictional piece about a pharmacutical that has the ability to make people's minds function at an efficiency many times normal. Everything starts out great with the main character, but then things start to go terribly wrong. One of those books you just can not put down. I recommend both.
