Ashton Kutchers new film, The Butterfly Effect comes out this weekend. Based on the previews, I want to see this film. Apparently, the critics do not like the film and have lambasted Kutchers performance. Either way, Ill probably watch it when it hits video, but if you are interested in more information about this movie, drop by this website: http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2004/01/23/kutcher_falls_flat_in_the_butterfly_effect/

Battlefield 1942 Coming To Xbox Live?
Rumor has it that an unnamed representative from Electronic Arts in New Zealand has confirmed the first game for Xbox Live from EA will be none other than Battlefield 1942.
IGN has the full scoop, which is really just a reprint of the denial from EA.
Custom Map – Friday Night Fights Update

Custom Map – Friday Night Fights
Coming to the Gamers Radio Battlefield 1942 server on Friday, January 30th! Its an all custom map Friday Night Fights! Thats right, we will be rotating up to 5 custom maps for Battlefield 1942.
Everyone always complains that not enough servers play custom maps! We agree, but its hard to run a BF custom map only server, so this is our way of giving you a chance to play some of the best custom maps available! We are also running stats on our server, so you can see just how well you do against everyone else.
We are currently reviewing the latest crop of custom maps. We will announce our playlist on January 24th. All you have to do is drop by Gamers Radio, get the list, download the maps and join us on Friday, January 30th!
Feargus Urquhart Discuss Black Isle and the Future
Feargus Urquhart, former leader of Black Isle Studios did a two part interview with Gamespot. In it, he discusses Interplays future role for the Black Isle brand name and the future for his own company, Obsidian Entertainment. It seems he is once again working with Bioware on a new, unamed game and is looking for a second project to start developing.
I have enjoyed almost every game I have played where Black Isle had a hand in the development and I am sure Feargus Urquhart had a lot to do with that. I cant wait to see what he puts out next.
I wanted to point out one especially interesting comment he made about developing a Battlefield 1942 type game. That is a far stretch from his past projects, but I love BF42 and Ive loved his games, so why not!

Desert Combat 0.6f Released
The ever-popular mod Desert Combat was updated and released yesterday to add enhancements and bug fixes.
This update is considered one of their biggest updates with the inclusion of three new maps and MANY new vehicles.
The team has been working on making the teams more balanced and this update seems to have helped a little bit. While they do note that there are still some issues of some things being more powerful then their counterparts, they do mention that they are still working on this issue.
From a personal perspective:
I played this updated mod at a LAN party yesterday from both sides and thought that things were better when it comes to balance. The new vehicles seemed to be the causing factor in this. I highly recommend trying out this update if you have been unhappy with the previous ones. Click “read more” for the list of updates for this mod.

Battlefield 1942 Adds Punkbusters to Prevent Cheating!
I am glad to see EA address cheating in BF42. It would have been nice if they had done this from the beginning. Hopefully they learned their lesson and will incorporate this into future games. Here is the message from the Official Battlefield 1942 website.
In response to the #1 request from the community, DICE & EA are proud to announce the inclusion of anti-cheat measures in the next patch for Battlefield 1942. The Battlefield team is committed to providing an exploit-free gaming environment for members of our community. Our goal is to have measures in place which address both current and future cheats. As such, after researching existing anti-cheat programs, weve determined that Punkbusterâ„¢ suits our purposes perfectly. Well keep everyone updated as to our progress. For now, we have successfully integrated Punkbuster into the upcoming 1.6 patch and were in the process of testing it.
