Resurrection of Evil was a pretty sweet add-on that overcame many of the routine criticisms (monster closets, small number of monsters at one time, lack of location variety) and was a lot more fun to play than the original.
One thing that's really surprised me about both HL2 and Doom 3 is the lack of user-created single player levels. There doesn't seem to be any for HL2, and just a handful for D3.
Here in DC, we have two different free dailies that you can pick up at the metro stop -- one is put out by the Washington Post. So between those and reading online, I can get all the newspaper news I need for free. At least for now!
I've used both Windows and Mac OS in a variety of flavors. Due to a lot of different factors, I've used Windows quite a bit more.
LSS: I think I'm more productive in Windows. And O don't want to suggest that OS X is bad by any means. I'm just used to the 'logic' (or as some Mac fans may say -- the lack thereof) of the way Windows is put together. When I'm on a Mac, I have to think harder about where things are. "Thinking different" in this case slows me down.
I don't know if 'good' is the proper way to describe their food. I'd use 'bland.'
Haven't ever tried their wi-fi, though. Perhaps that's why they're always so busy.
While you're waiting for this...

"This makes good conversation fodder, but can frustrate readers who prefer direct presentation of scientific arguments."
One of the things that makes Gladwell such a popular writer and thinker is the way in which he presents things -- in a way that makes these topics interesting to non-scientific people.
I got a galley copy of this last fall, and thought it was an excellent book.
For the cheezy animated Spidey series from years back? Or the made for TV movies?
I supposed he's a true believer now!
Somewhere in a NYC bank, his account manager's Spidey Sense is tingling!
Here's an excerpt from an interview with Moore on salon.com: (the 'it' he refers to is comparing V to today's political landscape)
"I heard someone recently talking to David Lloyd [the artist who illustrated "V for Vendetta"] about it, because there's still occasional talk about a film. And he said, probably accurately, that the world is not quite ready for a terrorist hero at the moment. But yeah, "V for Vendetta" has had an annoying way of coming true ever since I wrote it in the early '80s. Back then, I wanted something to communicate the idea of a police state quickly and efficiently, so I thought of the novel fascist idea of monitor cameras on every street corner. And the book was, of course, set in the future of 1997. But by that year -- and I don't know if Tony Blair and Jack Straw were big fans, but evidently they thought its design for future Britain was a really good one -- we had cameras on every street corner along the length and breadth of the country. My general thought is that yes, it's depressing, but not unexpected, when this stuff happens. And I do tend to think that, given the upsurge of the religious right over the last couple of decades, these are the last spasms of those dinosaur organisms."
So Alan doesn't mind referring to him as a terrorist.
Slashdot Mirror
Is it the Voltron that is made up of different colored lions, or is it the one made up of a bunch of different automobiles?
There is a difference. I think...
Complaining about dupes on slashdot. The rest is spent on trying to get the elusive "first post" on various message boards all around the innernet.

...And how long it'll take to cycle through all 13 channels. Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. And so on.
Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately given what's happened to the rest of the film adaptations of Alan Moore's stuff), the plug has been pulled on the Watchmen film, at least for now. http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire2005/index.php?categ ory=0&id=31145
Marketing, eh? Funny - that's what I do for a living.
What a meaningful stat! I have nothing against Apple, but the whole idea of branding is pretty suspect.
Please post your columns elsewhere. Thanks!
Rock still beats both!
Perhaps some big corporation should patent phishing and not use it, but instead go after those who infringe on their patent.
It's Greeeeaaaaaaatttttt!
Or until my music goes out of style?
Will you dial by twirling your fingers in a circle on the rotary sensor like an old pulse dialing phone?
I could get behind that.

Or, more correctly, lived.
Guess those '60s fanatics were right.
Damn -- you beat me to it. OMM was game journalism's finest hour.

Interesting. Will firefox become full of sponsored links now?
Perhaps Microsoft will now too sponsor a person to work on firefox.

Or perhaps Bananas. Kind of a let down to know he was in Teen Beat.
