You know, it’s really funny these days to see so many newbies on the P2P rush laying loyalty to the first thing that they find, it doesn’t matter if it’s Usenet, Kazaa, Gnutella, eDonkey, Bittorrent, FTP or whatever. It seems that back in the day there was a respect for those who really brought things out. If group a released Photoshop 4.0 with a working serial or keygen it was a big thing because they brought it first and they didn’t ask for shit. As years went on you had the re-packs, this being the group a release but with groups b, c and d also re-zipping the file claiming they brought it to you. This act was just stupid to the extreme, no one cares that you found something that everyone was going to find anyway and repacked it with your shit team on it, obviously nothing changed, so the actual credit goes to the group who did the work, not the fucktard who re-hosted it on fucking homestead.
These days though there’s a new breed going around, the groups and the focus changes, the MP3 scene used to rule the net for quite some time, because it was easy to access and fast for the bandwidth available, plus hosting was a bitch and drive space was no where near as expansive as it is now. These days we have the movie scene going on, people with cameras, connections and god knows what else putting their balls on the line to bring the latest rips in any form of the latest films, kind of like a daredevil move of “oh shit, this could end bad but lets see if I can pull it off and make it look decent” there’s a lot to consider with that and really it is their ass if they get busted, shit some girl got owned with her camera phone for recording like 10 seconds of the end of transformers, could you imagine the punishment for a full movie with a camcorder?
Anyway, the point is the scene is really sliced up these days, you see cam groups doing their thing and then you see other groups claiming to do the same work but they just piss on the original source with some video filters, brightness changes and other bullshit going “THIS IS A PROPER RIP” when in reality, no it’s fucking not, it’s the same rip with the same fatass getting up mid movie to take a shit that farts on his way out in what was supposed to be a moment of suspense. *no this is a fake fucking example pay attention*
Where did the originality go? Why did it become acceptable to have groups go “ok, the video is from a Russian team and the sound is from this rip 2 weeks ago and now this is a proper proper rip” what the fuck exactly happened in that moment in time of declaring that? Other than hey we did what most people with any digital authoring software could do if they wanted to, but we’ll attach our scene name to it and claim that we’re original when really we just stole some shit from people who almost had it right.
On top of that we have these new-gen idiots bitching about the scene, asking stupid questions about why the camera wasn’t steady, why the audio isn’t top quality, and then taking a dump on the scene going “the scene is shit, this faggot re-label, re-encode of a retail dvd from 2 years ago is the bomb, all hail this home-schooled fucktard” Yeah because I forgot every new release is easily available from the start in DVD form, yeah you get a VHS or DVD screener now and then if you don’t get caught or you’re really fucking lucky, but that’s not the norm, furthermore workprints are even less likely to appear and when they do you get the lovely green screen treat going “oh, well what the fuck happens here” but yet these idiots compare a release the day of the theatrical opening to a DVD rip and then go “fuck the scene”, I mean really is that the train of thought they have? Is that really the best they can process in their pea-brain. Even better is when it comes to retail DVD rips and I read these retards going on about what the big deal is between 5.1 audio and stereo low quality mp3 audio, then they go “well this file is smaller, fuck the scene all hail my faggot savior release guy”
Honestly, fuck your tiny heroes, go find their little boards and spam your praise there, don’t go elsewhere like a fucking retard and go “OMG I LOVE THIS DOUCHE, I GAWT HIS RELEASE OFF EDONKEY AND ITS HAWT” you know what? If you’re happy with some low quality re-encode then thats fucking fantastic, no one could be happier but most people don’t want idiots preaching their inferior quality findings to the world, people want it done right, they dont want 20 corners cut just for the sake of fitting it onto a single disc.
For those still too dense to get it, I’m ripping on these fags and their AXXO releases, when a new movie comes out the first fucking thing out of their mouths is “I’ll wait for the axxo release” or if someone produces an HD version in 720 or 1080 the first thing is “I think I’ll get the axxo instead” honestly, are these tools that stupid? Are they really trying to even imply that a shit job dvd format compressed video is on par with HD sourcing?
I think so and I think these idiots should learn to comprehend formats before they run their goddamn mouths.
Go slap yourselves for being such whores. axxo sucks my balls.
“In celebration of the 10th anniversary, EA is kicking off the “Return to Brittania” campaign, an amnesty program that welcomes former players to discover the gameplay and graphics upgrades implemented in Kingdom Reborn. Past subscribers in good standing will be able to play for free through October 9, 2007 by visiting www.uo.com/kingdomreborn/gamefiles, downloading Ultima Online Kingdom Reborn and logging in using their former account name and password.”
Its been 10 years since Ultima Online and I am amazed the game is still running. It’s a little sad that the game turned out to be such a disappointment after only 3 years of being around. How it managed to stay up for 7 more years is beyond me but there you go. I thought about downloading the new 3d client and logging in but decided it would be pretty disappointing. If any of you however decide to give it a try and find it to be amazing, do let me know.
It’s 1:33am here, which means the Halo 3 launch is already underway. For most pc gamers this means nothing at all. Why? Because from day one we’ve been given the shaft by MS and their whored out acquisition. Now now I know many of the console fanboys will come forward with.
“but ura, Halo is XBox only”
But in reality, Halo was being designed around the PC platform and more specifically the 3Dfx Voodoo 4/5 series of video cards. This means it was set to either use OpenGL or more likely support Glide directly.
Given ages of waiting and delays the PC audience saw a half ass port of Halo to the PC, poorly written and badly optimized for gaming, the title was claimed to need stronger hardware to run it due to complexity, but in reality it was just a pile of garbage they threw at the audience to calm them down. Come 2007 we see Halo 2 for Vista, why? no one knows, the game was written on basically DX7 hardware with minimal complexities for hardware power. Regardless MS tried to force the PC user base into a new scheme to do Live on the PC. Sadly this was ages late and no one was about to pay for a service that was awful to begin with (not to mention later cracked to run on DX9)
Now though we have Halo 3 on the Xbox 360, a title promising to be the best FPS in the world 100x over. With MS thumbing their nose at anyone who didn’t give them great oral at E3, GDC, TGS or etc, it made it easy to figure out how to stop normal web sources on reporting (hell I even belong to a prominent website and we still didn’t get jack). Well here’s an idea, Halo 3 so far is… a multiple leaked, spoiled title featuring yet another attempt at rehashing story or “lore” to appease the masses so they can “finish the fight” with master chef, a renegade cook who apparently took to fighting an alien invasion. Given that this is the future and you are catering to a group of users being raised on inferior controls it only makes sense to make them seem like they’re somewhat talented and capable, lets make that a change then, you’re a master chef a super cook with the ability to hold a regenerative shield that apparently can never take source energy damage, also despite being a super being with advanced computer controls can’t aim for your life, such result means that auto-aim is of course included, because aliens have hit-boxes and aimbots make life easy for newbies.
Introduce further a lackluster online model ripping methods already established for the sake of originality, furthermore simplify it to make sure everyone can have a good time because it would be awful if there was ever a strong challenge. Support that one by making predictable spawn points and allowing easy access to camp those points with the largest weapons on the map. Furthermore enhance those stronghold positions so that campers retain a dominant role.
Halo 3 is going to be a great title, it’ll shut the kids up who have been ranting about it for ages finally so that real FPS gamers can get on with a myriad of titles that rule it in every way and probably ahead of the release schedule on the Xbox 360 as well. Nothing like UT3 before it even arrives on the closed network 360.
Halo fans will be in for a treat as they prepare for another long strung out series of online matches over andover and over with periodic map updates and no supporting legal mod community.
PC fans will enjoy a barrage of CTF, CP, LMS, TDM, DM, and more on the PC side with a huge variety of online titles and methods of gameplay, best of all even the older communities have thriving servers, oh my, what’s this? Variety? From games that created these modes before Halo? Oh god what will we do. I mean god even ROTT was a better multiplayer title compared to Halo 3.
Thanks MS for saving PC gamers the trouble of having to put up with a hype machine. I’ll gladly return back to the depths of Team Fortress 2, Crysis, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., ET:QW, Far Cry 2, MOH, COD4 and other titles. Of course also without the stipulation of paying out monthly for bs matchmaking when I can easily click in on a huge array of servers for fast action and large numbers. There’s something about 4v4 that isn’t very entertaining.
I’d like to thank me, myself and I for this rant. I’d like to tell MS to piss off for treating the media like crap and that regardless of the marketing machine, even with a month to play it, Halo 3 would be shit. The better part of this rant is I know that they wouldn’t devote the time of day here or on my company site to review it, because they’re not going to get a free pass for a 10/10.
Blow me gates, ballmer and your fag pr firm edelmann. I don’t need a title based on a generic story model ripping gameplay from every other title over at least the last 10 years. Originality and a set of balls would do your company some good, unfortunately we’ll continue to see more Halo rehash attempts so they can say they tried their best to fuel the stagnation er development of the game.
I’d like to say this is a pudnation challenge to MS to put up, but I think the community knows what to expect from the company and what this game will ultimately be in terms of quality.
Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee recently go into a fight with Kid Rock and had this to say about it on his website:
“Yeah!! …..here I am minding my own biz having a great time with my friend Criss Angel (magician) and watching the Mtv awards in the front row saying hello to all my friends……Pamela comes and sits on my lap who I love and adore….and also say hello to my friend Travis Barker and his wife!…..and i get a text from another friend P. Diddy and he says come sit with me…..and he’s sitting with Miss HOT AS FUCK!!!!…..Megan FOX!!! So I go over and sit with P!! Not a minute later and Alicia Keys starts her amazing performance….”i apologize sweetie”…..i had nothing to do with the timing and disrespect, ……back to the stupid-ness!!….so….. I get a tap on the shoulder from Kid Pebble…i stand up and embrace him with a semi hug and say “Hey dude…What up”?? He punches me in the face…..well if ya wanna call it that!?….more like a bitch slap!…….Wuss!! Anyway….i go to knock this jealous no career havin country bumpkin the fuck OUT….and before I can have a meeting with my fist and his ugly ass mug ….security guards…NOT MINE at the Palms grab me and haul my ass outta the award show threatening me that if I move they’ll break my arm……yeah whatever!!….my security guard Bruce grabs them and say’s I got him….let go!!! So im fine and of course leave to my room with police and owner George Maloof……the rest is paper work and bullshit!… Anyway…… I would like to apologize to Alicia and George and Mtv for the disrespectful bullshit caused by a piece of shit called Kid Pebble!!
Much Love always!!…..Tommy!!”
Translation: “SO MICHELLE FEIFER WALKED BY ROBERT DENIRO WHO WAS FISTING KIRSTEN DUNST UNDER A TABLE THEN JACKIE CHAN FLEW BY GAVE ME A HIGH FIVE AND BAM KID ROCK PUNCHED ME, NOW TO POST THIS ON MY WEBSITE TO SAVE FACE”
It doesn’t matter how many names you drop, you still got punched in the face.

Better, Faster, Stronger. The future of male development rests in XXX sites and mags.
“The other reason for early development is improper sex education, Zeng said. Children have easy access to books, movies or music that are pornographic.
If parents do not protect their children from exposure to pornographic material they will become sexually precocious, Zeng said.”
Fucking whores, what kind of city just provides absolute access to porn. I remember the days when the guy behind the counter would yell out going “THIS IS NOT A LIBRARY” and I’d continue checking out the whores.
Ok so the truth is, most games today aren’t worth paying for, they’re short, controlling and so fucking linear that it makes some of us sick. I’m not saying what I’m about to list solves that, but it is a list of classic titles from their glory days that you can now legally get for free.
Far Cry Link
Prince of Persi: Sands of Time Link
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Link
Rayman Raving Rabbids Link
Honestly those 4 might be worth it if someone manages a way to block the ad system from installing properly. Given that all of those have retail counterparts it’s not too far off to imagine that someone can hack all 4 of them.
In the meantime they are free and in their full state minus being in the middle of a deserted jungle with a giant AND1 fucking advertisement above your head probably.
