    Doom 3 has gone GOLD!!!!!!!!!!

    Snippets from PC Gamer review. Minimum system requirements: P4 1.5Ghz or equivalent, 384MB RAM, 64MB graphics card (GF3/GF4MX minimum) Recommended by PC Gamer: 2Ghx CPU, 512 RAM, Radeon 9800, 5-channel sound card "Final verdict: HIGHS Extraordinary graphics and sound; incredible tension, atmosphere and mayhem. LOWS Some stabs at humor fall a bit flat. BOTTOM LINE Just as we'd hoped, it's non-stop ride of tension, carnage and terror. A new classic. 94%" Better start upgrading your hardware. Â

    Famous  leaders biographys

    It was to an online version of Mein Kampf I Googled up. I didn't take a good look at the site it was on and albeit it had at first sight seemed like a legit historical website, a closer look (and Avon's comment) quickly made me change my mind. Just another garbage website.

    Famous  leaders biographys

    As it was already mentioned it is very poorly written, and in addition to it's disgusting content is chock full of ignorance and stupidity. I suppose it could give some insight on the founding of the Nazi-party if you could wade through all the crap within. I took a look at a couple of chapters and that was plenty enough for me  Edited to remove the link

    More fun for ja2 fans (or tactical games)

    I think UFO:Aftermath (due to be released later this month, also a demo is in the makes), is going to have a somewhat similar combat system.

    New combat mission screens

    I've somehow managed to miss these Combat Mission games alltogether. Am I to take it that they're somewhat similar to the Steel Panthers series, only in 3d? Since if they are I'll have to try them out when I have the time.

    Something for ja2 and xcom fans

    Well I'm glad it's living up to it's promises. But I think I'll wait for the English version, depends on how bored I get in the days to come Â

    Something for ja2 and xcom fans

    Slightly offtopic but how good is JA2? Is it worth buying as I´m an avid JA and X-COM fan? Is it just JA with a new map or is it a significant improvement over the first JA? And on a sidenote as I was browsing through webstores looking for JA2, I noticed that a couple of stores had JA3 set for release in February 2004. Couldn´t find anything official with Google, though, and Sir-Tech´s site is just one big "file not found"- error.

    Finnish defence forces mod 1.0 released!

    Hmmm. I think I´ll have to reinstall OFP (had to do a reformat a while ago). Downloading the mod at ~650KB/sec

    Best free stuff

    The links seem to be FTPs so your probably better of using an FTP-client than trying to download via a web-browser. I did a quick test with FlashFXP and tried to connect to two different servers. One of the UK placed servers was busy but I was able to connect to the Swedish FTP. No passwords or usernames were required, just used anonymous login. My browser (IE 6.0) couldn´t connect to anything, GetRight or some other download manager might also work.

    Best free stuff

    For those who love the old Steel Panthers game-series, a hefty +400 MB download from Steel Panthers:World at War Steel Panthers:World at War is based on the old Steel Panthers engine but refined and further developed in hundreds of ways. And the best thing is that it´s completely free!

    Brain surgery prices to go up

    Damn. I was so looking forward to getting a lobotomy.
  14. Why do I suddenly have the urge to buy Mechwarrior 4? As for a military application... How about bolting on a couple of laser-cannons and going hunting for stray humans. John Connor must be terminated!

    Red hammer

    Red Hammer isn´t anything spectacular but the downloadable version is quite cheap, so I think that´s pretty good value for money.

    Chopper landing gear!

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (Aaron Kane @ June 30 2002,06:17)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Hmm... at low levels, it might make sense for a helicopter to keep its gear down, just in case of it crashing or having to make an emergency landing.  Of course, it doesnt make sense when flying high, but on a NOE mission, why not? In fact... I think it would be really cool if they made it so that the landing gear AUTOMATICALLY RETRACTED ONCE YOU GO ABOVE A CERTAIN HEIGHT!!!!!!! Could you imagine the look on little Sancho's face when he sees his favorite assault chopper move its gear?  That might be enough to make an 10 year old hit puberty prematurely! And as an added bonus, you could pick up garbage in the wheel wells of the helicopter, and carry it back to base.  Then you could make the garbage into cyborgs. If you are bold or bald, the Hind could carry more hair for you.  It happens all the time.  I live in Russia.  My profile is lieing.  I live in Moscow.  My dad was bald until the Hind gave him hair.  I want to be a Hind when I grow up. *dies*<span id='postcolor'> Well, I don´t know what you´re on but I want some of it too!

You´ve got a repair truck so take advantage of it the best you can. Also try to keep moving sideways compared to the M60s and they´re likely to miss a few shots.

    Need opinions on a car

    A V8? I´ll be a bit disappointed if they replace the current 8-litre truck-based V10. I mean the huge V10 is one of the things that make the Viper so uncompromised and interesting. Anyway, the concept car looks better in the latter picture, the profile is just excellent. I´m not sure about the rear-wing though. The car might look even better, more sleek, without it, in my eyes anyway. I´ve never really liked those high rear-wings on any car.

    Need opinions on a car

    I have to say I like the old Viper GTS Coupe more. That prototype is a bit too radical for me. The engine really is based on a truck engine, Dodge Ram or something like that. Block´s made of a different material though. Aluminum instead of...umm...well, just cast iron I suppose.  And they´ve souped it up quite a bit I´d imagine. All in all I´d say the Viper is one of the most testosterone-oozing cars ever made. If only I had the money...

    No way,, look what i find...

    Nice find! It certainly does look a lot like the Everon ruins. Of course if that´s the style that was generally used in those small castle-type-thingies in that particular time/area, there are probably quite a few similar looking ruins left. But still, looks an awful lot like the in-game ruins, even the state of deterioration is pretty much the same.
