For all of you Dick Tracy fans your time has finally come. No you won't be fighting extremely comical bad guys with clichéd names. You can however be the first to own the cell phone watch. That's right, now you can finally mock all those Iphone people with something that can rival its innovation.
The cell phone watch comes with all the regular features including mp3 playback, supports sms and mms, and a voice recorder. It also has a 1.3mb camera. Some people complain about the camera as it is awkward to use and it increases the weight of the watch.
For those of you that don't want to talk to your wrist don't worry. It supports the majority of blue tooth devices. Designers of the watch said they expect everyone to be using Bluetooth devices to communicate with the watch phone. The phone does come in at 80 to 120 grams of weight. It's definitely got some weight to it compared to normal phones. But to all those Dick Tracy fans, it will be worth the weight.
If you have not already noticed, we migrated our game servers to new IP's on a new server. Please update your Steam Favorites with these new IP's. You can find the new IP's here, here and here .
The new server is handling the new server load with amazing success! Our new server specs out to be about 2x the previous server and is running ~65% cpu with ~120 people connected. In contrast, our other
server was running ~90% cpu with 100 people connected.
3-PG would like to thank the administrators and members for their generous contributions to make this happen.
Texas Governor Rick Perry is coming to a game convention near you!
That's right folks, Governor of Texas Rick Perry is visiting your
gaming convention soon, and not just any convention but E3!
Interestingly enough he's providing the keynote speech as announced by
the ESA. But what's that you say? What does Texas and Government have
to do with gaming? Well apparently Rick Perry has done some things to
actually help along the game industry, like opposing a 50% tax on
'violent video games'. High Five Gov. Perry!
Wow. Just Wow. This thing must of taken months to accomplish. For those of you who aren't familiar with the idea behind automatic mario they're custom Super Mario World levels that end up playing themselves through the use of bounce blocks. Joystiq has compiled a small collection of some of them, you can find them here. Then they sinked automatic mario to anime music.
Then this video was released. Not only is it a 11 minute long anime music mash-up (or I suppose medley is probably the more correct term) that is not only synced with the music but uses the in-game sound effects to compliment it. Turn up your volume and spend the next 11 minutes doing what I did, sitting back, mouth open, and thinking this is bloody awesome.
Blizzard is back in the judicial spotlights as it tries to push for legislation that will allow the company to potentially sue people that violate the EULA by cheating. Blizzard has long been focused on stopping cheaters and those that violate the EULA but this is one more drastic step in leveling the playing field.
Blizzard cites the software bot glider as the primary cheat software in the lawsuit. It helps gamers avoid tedious grinding and leveling. Sources say that the company has sold over 25,000 copies but with an infinite amount of downloader programs and tech savvy WoW users there could be many more users of the software.
If the lawsuit passes blizzard could reap up to $750 per incident of cheating if caught. Several organizations are already touting several dire possible consequences of the lawsuit. Technically if the case wins, selling used media such as games or movies could be illegal. There are several legal loopholes that could help distributors avoid that but it could alter the fundamentals of game ownership.
Blizzard is using the argument that you don't own the game, you just accept a license agreement and they allow you to play. So even though you are holding that physical copy of the game, blizzard says you don't own it. WoW players could have even less to own if this legislation passes as they typically don't own a life either. Many believe that if WoW continues its aggressive litigation battles it may turn off its fan base towards other anticipated games like Age of Conan.
