FarCry 2 is out, and it looks like a heck of a lot of fun. Check out this trailer...

That kind of pure chaos is what I really love about first-person shooters. I'm still finishing up Crysis, and I definitely think FarCry 2 will be on my shopping list in October!

Stick,

The LAN is at my place tonight. We're going to eat at Applebee's around 8:00pm tonight, so feel free to join us if you're up for it.

We should be back at my place around 8:30 or 9:00pm. Here's my address...

112 North Lincoln Avenue
Three Rivers, MI 49093-2236
1 (269) 816-0865

Come down 131, turn left onto Michigan Avenue, then go down several blocks to Lincoln Avenue. Lincoln is located between the Elks Lodge and the BP gas station. Turn left, we're the fourth house down on the left side if you include the house/store on the corner. It's a white house with a green roof and shutters. Call me if you can't find it.

-b0b
(...mmm, cheese sticks!)

London, Oct.18 : Japanese electronic giant Sony has recalled a new PS3 computer game on the Koran because Muslims have taken offence to it.According to The Sun, the ultra-cute platform game called LittleBigPlanet was due to hit shop shelves next Friday, but hardline Muslims have expressed fury over a song, which quotes two lines from the Koran. The words used by Mali-born Grammy award winner Toumani Diabate, himself a Muslim, translate as "Every soul shall have a taste of death" and "All that is on Earth will perish."

Hardliners say the mixing of words from the Koran with music is deeply offensive and have asked Sony to take action that could cost the firm millions of pounds. The song has been on general release since 2006.

Copies of the game will be returned from warehouses around the world. It will now be re-released sometime in November."

Seriously, WTF? I honestly don't even know how to respond to this, other than to give Sony and the religious zealots involved in this story a huge middle finger.

Reply #104 - Oct 18^th, 2008 at 11:55pm Yea and think of all the games that have Christian lyrics, etc in them. Or things offensive to Christians. They don't care. But hey quote some Muslim verses and its over.
