Listener Kudos
More listener Kudos! Thanks for listening Lisa. BTW, I take back all the mean things this “okie” has ever said about Arkansas. You Rock!
Man you rock! Our local Ft. Smith, AR hard rock station just changed its format to reflect “a softer approach”. We already have two substandard adult comtemporary and hip-hop stations, a ton of boot scooters and two aging classic rock stations. Dont get me wrong, I love a little bit of ALL genres, but I HAVE to be able to get my loud, agressive music fix every single day. If I could get this station in my car I would.

Oh and I am right there with you on listening in our cars. Someday it will happen and when it does, traditional radio as we know it will be turned on its head!
BF2 Stats
This was just posted to PlanetBattlefield. On second look, this is just pulling data from BFHQ. You still have to play on laggy servers. BLAH!
The programmer KuranesGrey has been working on some Python Code that will allow stats to be displayed on a website. This is still early on but worth mentioning!
This CGI is a proof of concept showing how to make BFHQ data visible
on the web. My hope is that others will pick this code up and develop
cool community tools. For more information and the code, please download
bf2python.zip or read
README.txt. See also
bf2-xml_parser.zip, someone
elses PHP implementation. Includes extra notes on meanings of data items.
You can see it in action in an early state on PlanetBattlefield.
Metal OnDemand
Metal Blade reports: MTV has launched on demand programming available through Comcast and Charter cable providers. Through MTV On Demand viewers can select from a menu with a variety of movies, music and shows. More Metal Blade videos will be available soon through MTV On Demand.

Its a shame its come to this, but at least there will be some outlet for cool music.
Drowning Pool/SOiL
siNs metal news reports: According to Harddrive Radio, former SOiL lead singer Ryan McCombs has been enlisted as the replacement for DROWNING POOLs Jason Gong Jones, who recently left the band for “personal” reasons. [see full story for a rumor about the bands fate]

Stop The 2 Tier Server System for BF2
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/831992485
The current implimentation of the Battlefield 2 (BF2) ranking
feature is of great concern to those of us looking forward to
participating in the BF2 gaming community. It has been stated by
EA representatives that the BF2 ranking feature will point to a
global database which only official EA servers are able to contribute
data. If EA follows through with this implimentation it will have a
negative impact on the BF2 gaming community, the BF2 game server
hosting market, and very likely the overall success of BF2. Continue reading Stop The 2 Tier Server System for BF2
Blizzard Raises The Bar on MMORPGs
Blizzard just sent us word about the new Battlegrounds system in World of Warcraft. I wanted to say a few things about this.
First, this is probably the most unique and original idea I have seen in a MMORPG since the original Neverwinter Nights on AOL. This adds an element of gameplay straight out of the FPS genre and I think it is great. Even more interesting is it gives you a chance to buy really cool items not available through traditional gameplay. I hope they realize how important the Battlegrounds will be to the future of their game and continue to put out additional maps. Great Job Blizzard! This is why you have been one of the premiere game studios for the last 10 years.
Here is the full scoop.
The team-based combat maps known collectively as Battlegrounds are now open for war! These special, instanced zones allow large armies to wage climactic battles (as in the massive 40 vs 40 map Alterac Valley ) or smaller groups to fight quicker, capture-the-flag conflicts (like Warsong Gulch , a 10 vs 10 map). All of these battles take place between the factions of Horde and Alliance and are perfect zones to advance your character in the honor system and to gain new, specialized gear and rewards.

BF2 Demo Linux Server Screwed
I finally got the BF2 Demo downlaoded and I was trying to figure out how to get the Linux Server up and running. Strange, I couldnt find anything. I hit Google and this the first thing I find…..
A quick note to all of our community leaders and file partners. We
inadvertently released an out-dated Linux version for todays
Battlefield 2 Demo Server. It is imperative that you not make this
available on your web sites and that you let people from your media
outlets know not to host it for download or run demo servers with it.
We will follow up early next week with a version that works.
Yep, Linux server admins get the short end of the stick again……
BF2 Demo Is Out!
Good luck getting in….
If you have linux and know how to use wget, use this url. ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/demos/battlefield2demo.exe
I tried it via firefox and I get a no such directory found error. I tried going direct to the FTP and I cant see the file, but I am grabbing it direct to our game server via wget. Good Luck!
Its official. The Battlefield 2 Demo is right around the corner and you can get it here. Heres the rough details from the field….
When the Battlefield 2 demo is released, it will make its world premiere on GameSpot, and will be initially available not only to GameSpot registered users, but also to unregistered visitors as well.
The demo will feature three variations of the Gulf of Oman map…. There will be a time limit for each game.
