Battlefield 2 Demo - Get It Quick!

Just wanted to recommend that you quickly grab the current issue of Xbox Magazine (with the picture of Project Gotham Racing on the cover) before it goes away. Included is a demo for Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. It was ranked #6 on the top 25 Live games list last week. That's right, a demo game with one level was ranked #6. One of the best parts is parachuting out of the helicopters onto roofs. Read on here for more details.

F is for Fappin Forza Friday

See you Bitches on the track!

PGR3 Trailer for Xbox 360

Check out this link for an ultrahuge megasized HD trailer (scroll down for a smaller version) of Project Gotham Racing 3 -- one of the launch date titles for Xbox 360. Of course, I wasn't able to play either of these on my puny work computer. Hopefully, one of them will work at home. I would suggest downloading the file instead of playing it off their server. Please comment if you get to see it.

Update: I downloaded the large version and my computer wasn't powerful enough to play the video smoothly. I'm trying the smaller version now.

WTF?

Just found this on the Bungie Weekly What's Update http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?story=weeklywhatsjuly22&p=4093285

Text associated with this disturbing imagery is "And finally, somebody asked what Mister Chief would look like if the train from Terminal hit him."

Delta Force - Black Hawk Down

My interest in large multi-player online games has been sparked by the Battlefield 2 demo in this month's Xbox Magazine. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to connect to a game on the demo (otherwise I'd recommend you all go buy the mag) and the real version doesn't come out until November.

So I was just checking out the preview of Delta Force - Black Hawk Down and it looks very similar to Battlefield. They claim online matches up to 50 players and have set aside dedicated servers to host the larger games. There are different character classes to choose from (gunner, sniper, medic or close quarters) and multiple vehicles (including helicopters, see pic). Might be worth checking out.

Mondo-LAN 2005

The evening of July 10th was the first ever Pacific Northwest Janked-Up g33kf3st LAN-0-RAMA party at Mondo's house in SW Portland. Fun was had by all, even by the non-players in the crowd. There was lots of food, laughs, teamkills, and smack-talkin'! We had so much fun hosting this party, we can hardly wait to do it again.

Players: Free420, Tenlin, TimO9000, SJSharkie, Mondofresh
Remote players: Termas, Madegronk, Musconga, Braindeadwolf, Woody Wingren, and many more

Support Crew: MondoStef, MondoZZ, Karen, Mike, Bob, Janet, Eliana, Sushwalla, Wookie

Menu: Burgers, snausages, pesto pasta, green salad, lots o' cheese, chips and salsa, corn, carrot cake, lots of geek snacks

Lessons learned: ventilation is key; remember to close the drain plug on the icechest if it's in the house; don't give Wookie the ball after 10PM; 3-year olds can fire a rocket launcher; Sharkie talks more smack in person!
