Gary Larson revisits ‘The Far Side’

Via FARK: Gary Larson revisits ‘The Far Side’.

Hardcover 1250 pages (21 October, 2003)
Publisher: Andrews McMeel; ISBN: 0740721135
Amazon price: ~£70.00
It’s not like Gary Larson has taken up Far Side again. It’s just a massive anthology of his previous work. All in two hardcover volumes. It’s a little pricey but the quality can not in any […]

PC GAMES: X2 The Threat

X2 seems to have gone gold during the night. Or leaked to be more accurate. And no .. it has got nothing to do with “X-Men 2”.
In fact, if you’ve missed all the hype, X2 is a big ass space simulator a la “Elite”. There is already some speculation whether X2 will perhaps even dethrone […]

Scripts up and running

The following new (and old) scripts are now linked and ready for public consumption:
/gallery - a COPPERMINE script - a somewhat pointless photo / image / wallpaper gallery that wont be of any real use until I finish the digital camera project. I re-indexed all the thumbnails to fit a fixed width of 100 pixels […]

New Games on the horizon

Quite a busy time for gamers. Last week had an impressive release schedule and the games just keep on coming. Some good but most of them crap as usual. Noteworthy releases in the last couple of days include:

- Lords of EverQuest (c) SONY Online Entertainment
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (c) Konami
- Terminator 3: War of […]

LOTR ROTK Soundtrack

Beautiful as always although a little unimaginative. Not that it says anything about the movie. Thankfully it picks up towards the end of the disc. Hmmm. Annie Lennox was a big surprise also. Couldn’t they get Loreena McKennitt or what?

Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic

Finally decided to pick up the game. Even though I hate RPGs. What a pleasant surprise for a sceptic like myself. The game really rocked.
Just making a Star Wars game is a gamble. A big ass RPG that moves among most of the known Star Wars worlds and requires a story is even riskier. Lucasfilms […]

More software, games and stuff

Via SUPRNOVA /// Hmm. Seems there is a demo out for Deus Ex 2 : Invisible War. 224 Mb. FilePlanet “exclusive”. Don’t know much about it except that the “witty” Half Life ppl have been looking forward to it. The first game wasn’t my cup of tea exactly. Too damn sneaky and level loading times […]

Ragnarok Online?

Yeah, what is it anyway? I’ve kept hearing ppl rant on about it for some time now. From what I can tell, Ragnarok Online is:

“ … a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, produced by using a vast structure of background and storyline from the original animation of `Ragnarok’ written by Myung-Jin Lee. It is developed […]

Software, scripts and stuff

Winamp 5 is actually nearing completion. Amazing work considering how slow development has been in the past. The latest RC8 is quite useful and they seem to have ironed out most of the bugs. I’ve had some issues with extremely slow refresh from tray mode and interference from rapid keyboard action and other system processes […]

More dvdr blanks

As I grew tired of experimenting I finally got around to order a batch of DVD+R discs. Namely Ritek 4x (Purple). A safe bet. I don’t know why I kept fighting it for so long. And why I have a heap of Datawrite Yellow on my desk.
Anyway … Again, very nice work by DiscAtOnce to […]
