'Anna' by Katherin Anna Kang (afaik, the wife of John Carmack) and Fountainhead Entertainment is great. It's a short story, and an opposite of most of the work out there : full of symbolism, and quite devoid of any testosteron driven 'kill kill kill'.

Besides me allready being happy with my current spymac account (with 1 Gig storage : so they are defenitely not the first) : Gmail has the name : http://www.walla.co.il/... walla ?... dot co ?... what, dot il ?! er
What's your hotmail account ?
that and the fact i can't read their frontpage (hebrew, i think) : It's a worthless 'first' at it.
Have you actually -looked- at how both games differ in graphics : And how HL2 is doing nothing more than using the new features of DirectX 9 ?
Painkiller looks -exactly- as HL2 hasd been showing off how it would look like : Doom 3, is just a step above them all.
'Its more stuff like ThinkTanks, that feature kinda psuedo-unique gameplay that's a bit hard to master but very fun.'.
Pseudo Uniqueness.. Might be it when you have been locked in a dark cellar for the last four decades : ThinkTanks is an almost -exect- replica of 'Combat' : A game that appeared on the atari2600.
GarageGames is a nice effort : But not hitting any nails on their heads imo.
The thriving mod-scenes surrounding first-person shooters -is- of importantce for creativity being employed in games.
Same case with Halo.
I was -so- disappointed with that game on the PC, as it was showing on of the mayor flaws of the game coming back to PC : Way too much horizontal fighting, and no vertical aiming really necesary.
I still blame MS for buying out Bungie : then again, it has done the Xbox sales alot of good... So they didn't actually give a fart I did not buy the Xbox because of this.
What about somone who has their GUID banned by punkbuster? I don't believe they have any right to stop me permanently from playing a game.
Punkbuster only bans you from -all- servers when you are using cheats that _alter_ punkbuster itself.
Whereas they do give a warning / specific server ban automatically once a cheat is detected, people only get banned from the whole network if this cheat interferes in how PB works.
If you ask me, if you are banned by PB, you have been banned with a reason, and you don't deserve to play on -any- other server.
Hell, it's their network : they have the right to filter out asshats that like to cheat, to make -my- game more fun and enjoyable.
Btw, using keygens for those games is kinda useless, with the authentication of 'em at the master server.
'Why on earth wouldn't I want windows to play back videos fresh out of the box.'
-Have- you ever used Windows Media player ?
If it -would- play most of the formats around, I would not mind having it allready on my rig.
For now, I only use Windows Media Player for.wmv files.

What ?! You actually buy CD's ?!
What's your hotmail account ?
that and the fact i can't read their frontpage (hebrew, i think) : It's a worthless 'first' at it.
Probably why they didn't sell so many Gameboys with that title ? :P
...Ohwait
Bush will probably *cough* promise *cough* that in a month.
Hell, those WMD gotta be somewhere ?!
*easy one* If only those scientists developed a dupe-searcher... in 2d or 3d : I dont care ;)
To issue some hunting permits, and hunt for the flocks of Peer-2-Pigeons ;)
Anyone ever noticed how much Bush has been talking about Spain's bombing lately ?

Probably why it has been extinguished over the years... What, it hasn't ?
Did they forget the other (non mouse hand) is constantly used for pressing quick-keys ?

I guess you never played Streetfighter II : Hell, it's great to do a Hadyuken (sp?) to go to the next page ;)
A: No Thanks Listen to this interview, and you'll hear that they are trying to get Homestar on telly though.

And this freaky uncombed urang utang thingy
I think i can understand why they went with this one. ;)

...How about taking a stroll though the area ?
Not -everything- needs to be solved online .
Just wait until McDonald's expanded enough to be -everyone's- neighbour ;)
them just making easier manuals or user interfaces : So -both- sexes won't have to figure how a printer (or insert any other hardware) works properly.
I wonder if he is allready working on a theory on the 'cluster' 'Beowulf' and the underpants gnomes profit plan reoccuring on Slashdot. ;)
