Beta Tester

You will not believe what beta I currently have in my grubby hands? Well, I can not really tell you because it came with a nice litte Non-Disclosure Agreement, but if you pay attention to this post, you may get the hint. 🙂 ——————–>>>



I am going to play around with it this weekend and I will give you my takes on the game. Please keep in mind the beta test is online only and I will not have any idea about the single player game. Of course, that is not going to stop me from having fun…


If you have any specific questions about the game, let your comments and I will do my best to check it out.

Patent Issued for Temporary CD/DVD

Holy Shit! You are not going to believe this article I found about a recent patent issued for a process that will allow manufacturers to make a CD or DVD unreadable after a certain amount of time. This is a big deal. It can affect everything from Music, to Movies to Software and I for one do not like it at all. Read more for the full story and post your comments. This pisses me off, how about you? Continue reading Patent Issued for Temporary CD/DVD

Playstation 2 Linux

Sony announced a June release for a $300 hard drive kit allowing you to extend the Playstation 2 with Linux programming power and application development.



This is going to be very cool. This may allow us to use our Playstation 2 to listen to Internet Radio Stations without turning on our computer. Would you be intersted in something like that?

Tommy Lee No Longer Wants MoM

Tommy Lee drops Methods of Mayhem and releases his new album under his own name. Guests include Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger and Deftones singer Chino Moreno.


On a side note, Kid Rock was recently quoted saying, “Hey Tommy! Im making home movies with Pam now!”



Atomm: Not really, but I would if I was him! 😉

Thrash Metal Pioneer Dies At 41

Original Exodus frontman Paul Baloff 41, died Saturday after suffering a massive stroke on Thursday. Even if you are not familiar with the band, you might know another founding member, Kirk Hammett of Metallica. Together they released the Exodus 1982 Demo, Whipping Queen and Death and Domination.

Unsigned Artists Added to the Station

I recently added several more unsigned artists to the stream. You should check these bands out. They work hard to put out good music.



Here is the complete list:

Audkik

Bruhilda

Cyphre

Element

Fear The Clown (OK, so these guys just got signed, but they are still unknown and an incredible band!)

Forte (Older independent rock! Dig it!)

Huver (3/4th of The Nixons, hell, these guys were the music.)

Knucklewhite

Little Kingz (They may be little people, but their music is Large!)

Lock-N-Load

Lotic

Lure

Manifest Destinty

Single Bullet Theory

The Final Step



I usually play two songs an hour from unsigned artists. Open your mind and check out the radio station. This is not the same old boring stuff you hear on other stations. Be the first on your block to say, “Hey, I know those Guys!”

Origin Announces Ultima Online: Lord Blackthornes Revenge

Origin recently announced the next add on for Ultima Online, Lord Blackthornes Revenge. According to Origin, you can look for it to be released sometime in early 2002.

I do not know what to say. On one hand I am pissed off because they dropped UO2 and on the other hand I am glad they did not let all of the work go to waste.
