I feel like a member of the Scooby gang. Recently, we have seen a lot of people having problems with Punkbusters giving a message like “Trying to update PunkBuster Client: and then not updating the properly. The next thing you know, the server has kicked you and will not let you back on for 2 minutes. You wait 2 minutes, get back into the server and little bit later, BAM, it does it again.
Well gang, mystery solved.
You need to open ports 24300 through 24350 on your client computers firewall/router, etc…. Lets hope this does the trick!

I completely dropped the ball on this one. Unless you have been living under a rock, you probably have heard of Dave Grohls Heavy Metal side project, ala Santanas Supernatural. If you do live under a rock, well then, I guess I better enlighten you.
Probot is the self titled album. Grohl layed down all the instrumental tracks and some of the Heaviest singers around lent their voices, including King Diamond, Tom Araya of Slayer, Motörheads Lemmy Kilmister and Thomas Gabriel Warrior of Celtic Frost, among others.
Well, it came out yesterday, so if you are a fan of Dave Grohl and you love Heavy Metal, then run out and grab it today.
If you want more info on the Probot project, drop by MTV.com.
Check out the official Probot Website. No tunes, but they do have the video for the first single, Shake Your Blood featuring Lemmy.
Its no secret, I have been hooked by Finger Eleven and their latest single, One Thing. Even though the rest of their album is a bit heavier, I really dig it. While browsing around the web, I ran into an interview they did with MTV. Here is a quick except about One Thing:
"The producer, Johnny K, wanted to make sure I was really relaxed, so I had a beer at his insistence," Anderson said, "and then another and another. It kept going like that all night. Its an easy song for me to sing, physically, so I didnt object. I dont have a strong recollection of recording it. I just remember smiling and singing."
Get the rest of the Finger Eleven interview at MTV.com, as well as a quick look at their current tour dates.
Call of Duty and BF1942 might as well step out of the way … Soldner’s coming.
This game has numerous features that set it apart from most FPSMPGs for one, all buildings, trees, and pretty much anything else you can see are fully destructable.
You leave craters with munitions that hit the landscape, and well… Sniping just became a suicide mission.

Nextel Communications Inc. is officially testing the waters of fourth-generation wireless technology in Raleigh/Durham, NC, marketplace. If successful, the technology could give DSL and cable modems a run for their money in terms of speed.
Are you having problems with PunkBusters kicking you from Battlefield 1942 servers with a message about not being able to update the client? The fix is very simple, although the PB website is some what convoluted on the subject. Go to the PB download site and get pbweb. Put it in your pb directory, located in the root of your Battlefield 1942 directory and then run it.
You should be updated after that and no longer get kicked for running an older version of PunkBusters.
All I can say is WOW!
If you dig the console games of Onimusha, you have to check this out… Better yet, if you are breathing right now… CHECK THIS OUT!!!
It just baffles me that game creators have time to create such great trailors like this.
