    Loadout

    F2P indie shooter that just launched on Steam. It looks like TF2 but plays like an arena shooter like UT. I'm really enjoying the responsive movement and gun play. Cash shop is for cosmetic items only. The weapon customization options have a lot of potential. The different game modes are also...

    Chrome broken on Win8

    Out of the blue today, Google Chrome decided to only launch in metro mode. I tried deleting the registry, but it kept reverting back to metro Chrome when I made it my default browser. So then I uninstalled Chrome, but now I can't even reinstall it. When I go download Chrome, nothing happens...

    http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/d2-v1.13-patch-hits-the-test-realm/ I think I might have to start playing again once it's officially released and the ladder is reset. I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad about that. Edit: After reading over patch notes, its pretty underwhelming :(

    Monkey Island 2 on Crysis engine

    Text I was really surprised by how well the modder captured the Monkey Island 2 setting in 3D. This is one of the most impressive uses of Cryengine 2 that I've seen, and it really shows off the versatility of the engine. I would definately pay to play an entire game made like this.

    I'm a PC ad in Far Cry 2

    I noticed this I'm a PC ad in FarCry 2 mp. I thought it was pretty pointless since everyone playing FC2 mp is probably a loyal PC gamer. I'm not against in game ads like this though. Has anyone seen these ads in other games?

I have moved my sim card to two different phones, a jail broken iphone and a samsung flip phone, and texts don't work on either of them. When I send a text it still registers as sent on the phone, but...
