Well, I tried the 'Saints Row' demo today and I was actually impressed by what I saw. The gameplay videos I saw before trying the demo had me very skeptical but actually playing on an HDTV is something different. One thing I really like is how you can have multiple missions and such at the same time. And the controls are very fluid and smooth with a perfect layout. I'll be picking this up on release, if I can pull myself away from Madden :)

I know there has been a bit of a fiasco with this one, but anyone have the foggiest idea of when it'll hit the marketplace?? http://ign.knetiqa.com/nhl07demo.html <--- that says it's out for canadians but i'm in vancouver canada and i don't see the demo on the marketplace.

Anyone have a vague idea of when this demo might hit?

Just wondering what people think about the Test Drive unlimited demo and thier thoughts? I think its pretty good looks a hell of a lot better in Hi-Def compared to a normal screen. :) Pretty disappointed with the Motorbikes though don't think that they handle as well as they could (the cars seem to be a lot better for handling.) Or maybe I just can't drive them. ;)

Although one downfall I think is that the motorbikes are way too powerful, in races the motorbikes seem to leave all the cars back at the starting line by the time the motorbike is half way through the race. Just wondering what other people's thoughts on the demo are?

To be honest, I downloaded the 2nd Test Drive demo the day it came out and I still haven't tried it. I'm going to have to give it a try soon, though, as I felt the game had some potential if they tightened the controls a bit after trying out the first demo.

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
