Warrior-GS writes "GameSpy has two new articles up talking about the Future of PC Gaming. The first talks about the The Future of PC Game Engines, talking to Tim Sweeney, Chris Taylor, Stuart Moulder and others about everything from physics to lighting to AI. The second is an interview with Peter Molyneux about his areas of expertise and what lies ahead. The series will continue next month with a look at the Future of User Created Games and an interview with Warren Spector on PC Gaming's future."

There are people I certainly despise. They lack morals, character, and honesty. They sidetrack us, so we can't provide an antidote to contemporary manifestations of domineering chauvinism. In case you can't tell, I'm talking about Dick Cheney here. One of the first facts we should face is that Cheney's sound bites have kept us separated for too long from the love, contributions, and challenges of our brothers and sisters in this wonderful adventure we share together -- life! I suspect that it can be safely said that this is a problem long overdue for debate. I believe I have found my calling. My calling is to help you reflect and reexamine your views on Cheney. And just let him try and stop me. If one dares to criticize even a single tenet of his ventures, one is promptly condemned as flagitious, reckless, supercilious, or whatever epithet he deems most appropriate, usually without much explanation. Cheney's campaigns serve no purpose other than to abet a resurgence of dangerous, lackluster Fabianism. But don't take my word for it; ask any ostentatious, mawkish spongers you happen to meet. Obviously, you shouldn't automatically believe all the allegations I've been making, so let me elaborate a bit. Cheney claims that it is his moral imperative to convert lush forests into arid deserts. Well, I beg to differ. Contrary to the Rousseauian ideal of the transparency of the general will to itself, he is absolutely determined to believe that disruptive, uncompromising windbags and possession-obsessed lunkheads should rule this country, and he's not about to let facts or reason get in his way. Isn't it historically demonstrated that I sincerely don't know how to deal with birdbrained flibbertigibbets? I ask, because his victims have been speaking out for years. Unfortunately, their voices have long been silenced by the roar and thunder of Cheney's trained seals, who loudly proclaim that Cheney knows the "right" way to read Plato, Maimonides, and Machiavelli. Regardless of those dotty proclamations, the truth is that his smear tactics exude palpable faddism. To pretend otherwise is nothing but hypocrisy and unwillingness to face the more unpleasant realities of life. He is entirely closed-minded. We all are, to some extent, but Cheney sets the curve. He is a psychologically defective person. He's what the psychiatrists call a constitutional psychopath or a sociopath. I'm merely suggesting that it's doubtlessly astounding that Cheney has somehow found a way to work the words "theologicohistorical" and "disproportionableness" into his "compromises". However, you may find it even more astounding that he keeps trying to destroy everything beautiful and good. And if we don't remain eternally vigilant, he will unmistakably succeed. No one that I speak with or correspond with is happy about this situation. Of course, I don't speak or correspond with amoral firebrands, Cheney's helots, or anyone else who fails to realize that just because Cheney and his spokesmen don't like being labelled as "simple-minded megalomaniacs" or "pushy rotters" doesn't mean the shoe doesn't fit. For brevity, I won't comment further on that, but rather on the way that one of the most mind-numbing mysteries for those of us who don't like Cheney is trying to understand people who do. Do I blame society for this? No, I blame Cheney. An inner voice tells me that his proxies are unified under a common goal. That goal is to demonize my family and friends. To oppose nepotism, we must oppose fogyism. To oppose egotism, we must oppose neopaganism. And to oppose Cheney, we must oppose what I call uncontrollable doofuses. I have a dream that my children will be able to live in a world filled with open spaces and beautiful wilderness -- not in a dark, prolix world run by morally crippled soi-disant do-gooders. I unequivocally have a hard time trying to reason with people who remain calm when they see Cheney lower scholastic standards. It's not necessary to go into too long of a description about how he plans to arouse inter-ethnic suspicion before the year is over. Suffice it to say that if he continues to scapegoat easy, unpopular targets, thereby diverting responsibility from more culpable parties, I will be obliged to do something about him. And you know me: I never neglect my obligations. How dare Cheney criticize my values when his are so obviously sleazy? If he wants to complain, he should have an argument. He shouldn't just throw out the word "nondeterministic", for example, and expect us to be scared. To quote the prophet Isaiah, "Woe to ye who convict me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter". Think about it. Just to add a little more perspective, Cheney's stories about collectivism are particularly ridden with errors and distortions, even leaving aside the concept's initial implausibility. Cheney's arguments are in every respect consistent with the school of sinful thought that tends to sully a profession that's already held in low esteem. Even when the facts don't fit, Cheney sometimes tries to use them anyway. He still maintains, for instance, that the Eleventh Commandment is, "Thou shalt annihilate a person's personality, individuality, will, and character". I myself must openly confess that everything he writes is unreadably desultory. Am I aware of how Cheney will react when he reads that last sentence? Yes. Do I care? No, because a great many of us don't want him to borrow money and spend it on programs that censor by caricature and preempt discussion by stereotype. But we feel a prodigious pressure to smile, to be nice, and not to object to his effrontive expedients. To parody the old song, "Fish gotta swim, Cheney gotta retard the free and natural economic development of various countries' indigenous population." He claims to have turned over a new leaf shortly after getting caught trying to use organized violence to suppress opposition. This claim is an outright lie that is still being circulated by Cheney's minions. The truth is that the space remaining in this letter will not suffice even to enumerate the ways in which Cheney has tried to give expression to that which is most destructive and most harmful to society. I would never take a job working for him. Given his randy, snotty anecdotes, who would want to? A final note: Dick Cheney has made some dangerous assumptions about sniffish sewer rats.

In sad news today, Run DMC's Jam Master Jay died today at the tender age of 37. Truely a slashdot icon, he will be missed. Gunshot wounds really suck... until you die... then they don't hurt anymore.
R.I.P Jason Mizell (1965-2002)
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Police Thursday were investigating the shooting death of Jam Master Jay, the DJ of the legendary rap trio Run-DMC.
.45-caliber shell casings, but no clues to the motive.
Jam Master Jay, 37, was shot in the head Wednesday night around 7:30 p.m. in a Queens recording studio, according to police. Another man, Urieco Rinco, 25, was shot in the leg and taken to a hospital, police said.

Fans of the group gathered outside the studio Wednesday night and through the day Thursday to pay their respects.
"It's like one of the Beatles died," said fan Ronald Williams. "They were the pioneers of this game as we know it." (Full obituary)
Rap pioneers
Jam Master Jay was born January 21, 1965 as Jason Mizell in the middle-class Hollis neighborhood of Queens, New York, according to the group's Web site. He linked up with Run (Joseph Simmons) and DMC (Darryl McDaniels) -- also from Hollis -- scratching turntables for the two rappers who had just graduated from high school.
A year later, in 1983, the group released their first single, "It's Like That."
Known for their loose Adidas-brand shoes, all-black outfits, and thumping beats, the trio is credited with beginning the current trend of combining rap music and rock 'n' roll in their hit remake of Aerosmith's "Walk this Way" in 1986, teaming up with the band's lead singer Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry.
Run-DMC was also the first rap group to be nominated for a Grammy, and the first rappers to have gold, platinum and multiplatinum albums.
Group avoided feuds
And unlike other rap groups, Run-DMC avoided feuds with other rappers. Run is an ordained minister, DMC overcame alcoholism, and Jam Master Jay was a married father of three children.
Any possible link between Jay's death and a rap war was dismissed by Russell Simmons, the founder of Def Jam records, Run-DMC's original label, and the brother of Joseph Simmons.
"They represented everything good and positive about hip-hop," said Russell Simmons in a statement.
"Before the media rushes to attribute this to East Coast - West Coast violence, they should examine Run-DMC's two decades of contributions and Jam Master Jay's personal character," he said.
"This has nothing more to do with so-called East Coast-West Coast violence than the snipers in Washington did."
