Movie Day

Mark

Here are a couple of trailers I watched the other day and am excited to see. Righteous Kill. DeNiro and Pacino in a movie together can mean only one thing, it'll probably be a good movie. The last time these two were in a movie, that I can remember, was heat. Traitor. Don Cheadle really is a versatile actor, comedy, drama, and now action. This kind of movie is right up my alley, reminds me of Bourne Identity, which I loved. Also, there is no official trailer release for RocknRolla, Guy Ritchie's new movie, so if it interests you do a quick search on google and check it out. Last but not least, a not released yet trailer for Dark Knight.

Ben Hoffman of InfoMania put together a little video on the upcoming MMORPG? game named Spore. The video is actually pretty entertaining and not very long... and he sums up everything I was thinking this game would be. Check out the video here.

Imations paper clip size USB memory

Mark

This thing looks pretty slick, I def am game for a really tiny usb memory key... the only thing that sucks is the 1gb version starts at $19 bones. That's just too darn expensive. Just a few days ago I saw some 2 paper clip size usb keys at staples for like $9 bucks a pop.

How To Replace Memory Heat Spreaders

Mark

Here's a little ditty on replacing the heat spreaders on the ram in your pc. I never did like that adhesive heatsink gunk, one time I was replacing a heatsink on my cpu and becuase it was so stuck on there, when I pulled the heatsink out the cpu chip came out stuck to the bottom of it... needless to say I was pretty surprised, luckily the cpu was ok.

QUOTE: "Welcome to another session of void-your-warranty, as today we will look at upgrading the stock heat spreaders on a pair of Kingston DDR2 memory modules. What we will do here is run through a step-by-step of removing the plain flat aluminum spreaders that come with most RAM modules and upgrading them with some Nexus HXR-550B Heat-Pipe memory coolers."

Mark

I have heard some good things about this game, when It comes out on PC I'll probably end up buying it.

TTGamer have today posted a review of The Bourne Conspiracy for the Xbox 360. While the wait for a Bourne game has been long, perhaps that is the reason why this is one movie game worth looking at.

Life Happened

Mark

Yesterday (Sunday), I spent pretty much the entire day working with smarty templates and a new all CSS design for Fragware. I ran into a few mysql query errors and what not and still have quite a ways to go, but when it's finished it should be a much better experience for you guys. Also, I'm working on adding a comments system to the daily news. As of right now I'm at my fathers helping him take care of sealing the jam on a new basement door, so that's pretty much my day... the moms is making steak on the barby though so no complaints here. Free stuff I'm feeling generous today so the next ten people that sign up to the forums and post a message in the intro sections I'll send out some MouseTape too. After you post I'll private message you for your address.

PhysX GPU Acceleration on ATI 3850/70

Mark

NGOHQ is working on getting Nvidia's PhysX GPU acceleration working on the ATI 3850 and 3870 video cards... Definitely makes me feel better about purchasing my 3870 a few weeks ago for what the 4850 is going for now. No more Upper hand Nvidia, suck it!

Diablo 3, 20 Minutes of Gameplay Footage

Mark

I woke up to some great news this morning... Diablo 3. I have always been a fan of the Diablo series, ever since the first one. I am an interesting man though, even though I like Diablo, I don't really care for other MMO games. I played WoW a few times but it just never took hold like Diablo did. If I had to pick a reason it would probably be the gore. I like gore. Call me a sicko or what you will, I prefer blood and guts over cartooney games, hence I don't own a Wii and never purchased a product made by Nintendo in all my life. But I digest, If you're a fan, definitely check out the 20 minutes of gameplay action below, and also check the Diablo 3 website just for the mere fact that the design of the webpage is pretty slick.

COD4 1.7 Patch

Mark

A lot of CoD today... a new patch for CoD4 came out grab it if you need. You have to have 1.6 already for it to take.

PC Gamers Jipped

Mark

I just found out that Battlefield Bad Company isn't going to be ported to the pc, wtf... that's kind of a jip especially seeing how all the earlier battlefields were all on the PC platform. Way to go Dice. I guess if I really wanted to I could go and spend $350 for an xbox360, pay another $50 for the game, tack on $5 bucks a month for live (which is just a base price), and get to play Bad Company using a stupid xbox360 controller that I wished was a keyboard and mouse. No thanks. I think I'll just play more COD4, too bad though because the sound effects in Bad Company are amazing. PC gaming will live forever, to me the 360 is just a fad.
