Paul Gray, Bassist for Slipknot was arrested Sunday in Des Moines, Iowa for possession of marijuana, cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and for failure to obey a traffic device.
Billboard.com reports that Gray ran a red light and collided with another car as he was cruising through the intersection. When officers arrived at the accident site not only did they find Gray speaking incoherently next to his mangled Porsche–they also found marijuana, cocaine and two syringes. A police spokesperson said that Gray failed two sobriety tests on the scene and was then taken to a police station where he consented to a urine test. Gray posted bond and will be arraigned June 10.
Slipknot is scheduled to work on its third album, the follow-up to Iowa, in the coming weeks.

Wal-Mart ads Maxim, Stuff and FHM to its censor list.
This weeks Up Yours! award goes to Wal-Mart for pulling Maxim, Stuff and FHM from their US shelves because of complaints from Christian based groups, who claimed it was pornographic.
Come on! Give it a rest! In my opinion, this makes strike two against Wal-Mart who already censors all their music and album artwork. This of course, is why I never, ever buy my music from Wal-Mart.
EA announces patch 1.4 for Battlefield 1942
EA has an announcement on their website concerning the next patch, version 1.4. They did not provide a release date, but it does provide some good information on the patch. They also provide info on a new weapon for the next EA/DICE Mod.
This mod will prevent cheating, but it has the side effect of stopping all client side modifications. This will hurt many mod groups who are not designing their mod as a server side modification. The biggest one that comes to mind is Merciless Creations. They have done an incredible job changing the game to look better, but it is client side modifications.
For the record, I do not use this mod because I do not like the idea of having a different looking screen than the people I am playing against. With that said, I would download Merciless Creations in a heartbeat if it was server side. It really is a great work of art and I hope they continue to show support through a server side mod.
You can get more info on the Merciless Creations website. You can read EAs article by clicking Read More. Continue reading EA announces patch 1.4 for Battlefield 1942
Vietnam, the next Battlefield
According to this story on Gamespys PlanetBattlefield, Digital Illusions, the developers of Battlefield 1942 registered Battlefield Vietnam on February 12th, 2003.
I would also like to spotlight a great looking BF1942 mod currently under development called Eve of Destruction, The Indochina Vietnam Conflict (Whew!). I have only seen screenshots posted on their website, but I cant wait to get my hands on the game. They have some incredible custom terrain modeled, as well as great looking soldiers. You need to keep your eye out for this one, even if Dice decides to make their own Vietnam Battlefield.
Oh yea, check out their website.
Modern Day Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter Vault has a great interview with a developer from the modern D20 initiative. To be honest, I did not know this existed, but they are creating additional toolsets to support the D20 environment in Sci-Fi or Post Apocolyptic genre. Its a great read and you should check it out on the Neverwinter Vault website.

EA/DICE offers Bonus Map
This time around, I am not going to get as excited as I did about Coral Sea. From what I have read, the new mapped called Operation Aberdeen, is another Coral Sea, but with Tanks instead of planes. I will keep an open mind about it, but I think EA/DICE is playing with us. Rather than releasing crappy maps, why dont they release the Developers Tools. The MOD groups have done an incredible job, but it would be so much easier if they had decent tools to work with. Oh well, Im addicted to the game, so I guess I will stop complaining and go frag someone….. Get the Full scoop from EA by clicking the Read More link.

What do you wear?!?
2 out of 30 people said they loved to cheat in BF1942. 1 said they cheated and felt guilty and a whopping 27 out of 30 said they did not like cheaters. It seems people really do not cheat in Battlefield 1942. Either that, or we have a lot of liars visiting Gamers Radio. (SIC) If you havent voted, you can still cast your vote here.
I decided it was time to lighten things up a bit. This poll asks a question most people are afraid to ask, but everyone is curious about. This time around, we want to know how you dress when you are playing Games at your computer. I will even fess up and tell you I play in sweats and a t-shirt, but I have been known to play in my underwear and a t-shirt from time to time. As far as being buck naked, that is something I can say I have never done. So the next time you are fraggin online, or you send a Hail to the guy on the other end of the Internet, you might just wonder….. What are they wearing…..
