    Did you play F.E.A.R. on a top end system ?

    Because I am and graphically, it rocks.

    However it is the tried & tested: clear room, progress, clear courtyard, progress layout of the single person FPS. (though I've not finished it yet) in the same old locations : warehouse, offices, laboratories.

    Where are the new environments at ?

    Off the top of my head, some reasonable possibilities :
    zero/low gravity rooms, upside down places (remember the deathmatch one in Sin ?), long underwater battles, volcano with proper flowing lava with rocks in you can jump on that melt, ice floes, snowy places (though Unreal has a great snowy deathmap map), you have been shrunk, you have been giganticized, whole fairground (hall of mirrors, ghost train, target shooting side puzzles etc.etc.)

    Though I will state now, I liked Zen in HalfLife. The indoor bits particularly.

    if you fronted it with an archived storage system such as Venti then it would be far more attractive.

    see also :

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_(file_system)

    They act as a archive/cache type system so that only recently used data needs to be on the HD and archive older files but keep them available on the same filename AND you can also see all the versions of the file you've ever had :

    ------
    To access a snapshot, one would connect to a running fossil instance ("mount" it) and change directory to the desired snapshot, e.g. /snapshot/yyyy/mmdd/hhmm (with yyyy, mm, dd, hh, mm meaning year, month, day, hour, minute). To access an archive (permanent snapshot), a directory of the form /archive/yyyy/mmdds (with yyyy, mm, dd, s meaning year, month, day, sequence number) would be used. Plan 9 allows modifying the namespace in advanced ways, like redirecting one path to another path (e.g. /bin/ls to /archive/2005/1012/bin/ls). This significantly eases working with old versions of files.

    > front tv connectors have been around for years

    THE BIGGER-THAN-TV MOVIE Most digital still cameras today can also capture video big enough to fill a standard TV screen (640 by 480 pixels)

    er no, PAL is 720x576, NTSC is similar

    > But Canon's PowerShot S80 model goes one step further: it can capture videos at even higher resolution (1024 x 768 pixels).Why on earth would you need a video picture of higher resolution than the TV itself? Three reasons. First, your videos will look better on high-definition sets.

    er, how about because presentation projectors do 1024x768

    > THE FREE DOMAIN NAME ... It took Microsoft ... to make getting your own dot-com name free. Its new Office Live online software suite for small businesses, now in testing, will offer a domain name
    > Yes, you'll see ads on the screen (unless you pay for the adless version)

    It's not available in 2005 AND having to view ads is not "for free".
    And if I can't have fuckmicrosoft@fuckofficelive.com then it's not free either

    We've had domains for 1p in the UK for years under similar terms.

    > THE HYBRID HIGH-DEFINITION TAPE JVC and Sony developed the first camcorders capable of recording in spectacular wide-screen high definition. This would have been a perfect opportunity for them to introduce yet another type of videocassette - some expensive, proprietary new format that wouldn't fit any other camcorder (and would generate millions in sales).

    Ask anyone in the video industry (with a clue) and they'll tell you that Sony's DV tapes are already slightly incompatible with other machines.
