intel recently showed off what we can expect from games that take advantage quad core processors
Holy craperoni and cheese with chocolate and root beer and caffienated candy and more cheese and…
The guys at Joystiq have an interview with Rand Miller, who is working on releasing Uru Live for gametap. This game was cancelled long ago and now gametap is bringing it back to life. They are also setting up ways for people to play it around the world (as of yet, gametap is only availible in the states.)
The idea of an adventure MMO is mind-bogglingly awesome, even though I have somewhat frowned on the myst series as a whole. The myst series were incredibly immersive, but way too difficult. But perhaps tackling the puzzles of Myst would make it new again?
Gametap also announced that they would be making the resources availible to allow people to make their own ages, and that is amazing. The thought of independent game design of this calibur would mean a never-ending supply of content, destroying the play-once problem with adventure games.
15 minutes, and a bomb in a briefcase. Can you do it?
This is the awesomest flash game I have played in a long, long time. A problem solving adventure game, if you will. I made it when there were 9 minutes left on the clock.

I am thoroughly disappointed by the contents of this trailer: (watch below)
Does anyone feel that the trailer drones on? Now if you watch the first Ace attorney trailer, it’s action packed intenseness. But not here. That probably won’t effect the game though. Hopefully.
This video reminds me so much of myself it’s scary.
OkCupid (Formerly TheSpark) has a test to help you find out if you are a geek, nerd, or dork. Check it out!
Modern, Cool Nerd
60 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 47% Dork
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.
Nerds didn’t use to be cool, but in the 90’s that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn’t quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and “geek is chic.” The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
Congratulations!
Not only does this guy play the super mario theme on guitar, he plays it on two guitars SIMULTANEOUSLY! AT THE SAME TIME! Right hand on one guitar, left hand on the other.
Wow.

Guitar Hero coming to multiple new platforms
Posted Sep 20th 2006 4:55PM by Kevin Kelly

According to Eurogamer, Activision CEO Robert Kotick let it drop at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia XV Conference (that’s a mouthful) that Guitar Hero would appear “on every significant new format.”
We can only guess this means whammy-barring on the Xbox 360 is pretty much confirmed, with Gamestation employees hearing earlier this week that they will be getting Guitar Hero II for that console in early 2007.
With the Wii, DS, PSP and PS3 being significant new formats, chances are you might be able to jam just about anywhere.
Now that is interesting. Sony no longer having guitar hero exclusively would turn the tide indeed.
