TF2, WoW, CoH, SolSuite Solitare, Tetra Triad Extreme, Flight Sim X (The demo..), Soon to be Supreme Commander.. L4D (not so much)...

Pretty much anything I can get my hands on now for PC that I missed out when I had a slower end PC.. recommendations would be great .. :)

Disgaea on the DS right now. I'm 22 hours in and I'm still enjoying it quite a bit. There's definitely a lot of stuff to do, and I'm a little crazy when it comes to equipping and leveling my army.

On the 360, I'm determined to finish Oblivion once and for all. I've always dropped it in favor of something else, but since this is a bit of a dry period for the 360, I'm going to play through the main quest, at the very least.

Whenever me and my buddies get together for some ownage, it's usually Halo 3 (still!) or Bomberman Live. We would play Motorstorm, but we've got one guy who destroys everyone else, so that game is off limits now ;)

I've just finished my second play through of GTA4, as the first one preceded the trophy patch. Got myself a couple more trophies. I think I'll keep going and get the rest (except the online ones probably).

The 10 fights in 4 minutes one will be annoying I think, too many police around.

I got the counters trophy, thanks. :)

At first I misread it as "encounters" so ran around trying to beat everyone up...didn't end well.

Right now I'm doing stunt jumps, and I've lost about 200k from deaths. Some of the jumps take the ****. Especially as the tiniest little thing in GTA4 seems to send me flying or throw the bike off course.

And, talk about salt in the wound - I left the 2 boat jumps until the end, and when I did the last land one it said 2 left. I go to do the boat ones....already done one. :cry:

UFC demo on 360 :| :| :| :|

I'm so obsessed with it, even with a pretty large library of games :/

I know the feeling. I thought it was pretty lackluster when I first played it, and thought that THQ ruined another potential franchise. Then I gave it another go the next day with my brother, and we couldn't stop playing it!

I do think it's still a bit average though, even though I can't stop playing it. The quickest way to win is always to go for the flash KO. Just keep launching the special punches/kicks and you'll get it eventually. I sometimes get a TKO victory, but that's a bit rare. What's even rarer though is a submission victory. I find it almost impossible to lock a submission in, no matter how fast I spin the right stick! I managed to get it in twice before: one on my brother, and one on the AI, but that's it.

I'm planning to finally drag myself through Far Cry 2, I think I'm almost done, but I got bored with it pretty fast, hopefully i find new ways to make it interesting :p

Same here about FC2. The game was not that bad but still unfinished with it yet.

Currently playing: mostly GTA4 on PC and L4D sometimes :p

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
