Gamespot has an interesting article on the top 10 FPS of all time. Interestingly enough, Battlefield 1942 just made it onto the list. Im not sure I would include console only FPS on the list, but it still makes for interesting reading.

QuakeCon.org facelift
Some people may have had a heart attack tonight when trying to go to http://www.quakecon.org and saw “Forbidden”. [I know I did!]
Reason for that short down time was due to them setting up a whole new site. The site looks great and appears to be geared to host updated new a lot better…
In the forums, they state that they have “lots of great things in store for QuakeCon fans in the very near future”…

FNF – Custom Map Reviews
Another Friday Night Fights, Custom Map Night is on the books. With nearly 20 players for 6 hours, I would say this was a success. Of course, we would not of had that many people if it wasn’t for great support from our own Gamers Radio Battaltion, Isamu and the ATF clan, Ringo and the {HSC}clan, Tman and the {PDX}clan and GreatXScott and Cipher from 304. I would also like to thank Evil Homer from PlanetBattlefield for helping us promote this event.
As always, I have put together my opinion of the maps. Please keep in mind; we at Gamers Radio appreciate the hard work custom map makers put into building their maps. Please understand, we only pick those maps we think are worthy of playing. Even if we say things that seem negative, you should be proud of your work because there was something that caught our attention to begin with. With that said, click Read More… for the full reviews.

Could Moores law be broken by Intel?
Intel has built a prototype Optical chip and it seems to be something they feel they can easily and cost effectively be mass produced.
the only setback is that it is limited to a mere two billion bits per second 😉
Single Player Demo Modd
Based on ephils review of the FarCry demo, I started reading up on it. I found a few really cool nuggets. There are two more vehicles locked in the single player demo and someone has created a mod to access the Humvee and Hanglider.
There are a few other mods that give you access to more of the island and the best one of all, adds a quicksave function using f5 and a quickload key of f6. This is my biggest complaint for this incredible game and I am glad to see there is a work around. Having to find checkpoints to save a game like this is very frustrating. Lets hope this same mod will work in the final version.
Every single one of these mods can be found at FarCry Arena.
