The
Supreme
Commander Q&A on Supreme Commander HQ talks with Chris Taylor, the
supreme commander at Gas Powered Games, about their upcoming RTS game: "One
of the biggest challenges has been finding a way to create three different
factions that are all different in one way, but similar in others… i.e. each
faction needs a well-balanced force that covers land, sea and air, but can’t
all have the same look to their tanks. When we get up to the huge
experimental units this is easy because these units are way over-the-top,
and have crazy weapons and create massive amounts of destruction."

OGaming's
Heather Graham Q&A talks with the lovely actress about her voice work in
EverQuest II: "Yeah. I just don’t find fighting off or attacking a bunch of
little computer people that exciting. There’s something more inspiring about
getting to interact with hundreds of different real people from around the
world. It takes more creativity and imagination, and forces you to think
more on your feet. It’s almost more mentally stimulating in that regard."
A new World
Racing 2 Patch is now available, updating Synetic's motorsports simulation
to version 1.3.3. The update adds a new cheat code, some new options, and
addresses some bugs. Thanks The Patches Scrolls.
Well it was indeed quite the autumn snowstorm around here... I put in close to
two hours with the shovel when it was all said and done. This included some help
for my Good Samaritan neighbor, which helped assuage my guilt over his previous
assistance with snow clearing on two levels. First, is simply that I got to help
him in return by digging out his driveway, but second was in learning he has a
snow blower, so his previous help was not the strain I imagined. The idea was
that he could snow-blow both our walks if I helped get the driveway clear, but
by the time he was done rearranging his various vehicles, I had my work
completed.

Futrix Studios Q&A talks with Thearrel 'Kiltron' McKinney about what's
going on at the gaming start-up: "Future Killer is a sci-fi FPS game based
on a dying earth set in the future. The main character Yuen is the only
survivor of the N.B.H. (New Breed Human) experiments conducted by the
government. Playing the role of Yuen, you find yourself waking up in the
middle of an alien invasion. Not knowing what has happened, you become
informed by the people who find you, then set out to accomplish your
different missions, find out why you were created and stop further invasion
of the unknown alien race. Throughout the game, you team up with groups of
human survivors, some of which can aid or betray you."

Man.. we're buried already, and it's still coming down!
I've been playing some BF2 again with the new Sneaky F#$@ expansion pack, which
reminds me of a question I've never been able to answer... what's the criteria
for tie-breaking for the medals at the end of the game? I was tied for
second in a match and got a bronze medal, which, as far as I can tell, has
happened to me every time... If I'm tied for first I get a silver, and if I'm
tied for third I get nothing. Never once do I recall getting the "benefit of the
doubt" and receiving the higher of the two medals for which I've qualified. I
don't know if it's based on username, or what, but whatever the criteria is, it
seems like it always works against me.
