are you people all sleeping on the job? haven't gamed myself in over a week, but trust you me when i come back it'll be full throttle muhahahahaha.

and jonny, how's your mono doing?

A little better, back to work next week :(

I've been pounding the achievements. Almost near 11,000 now. Although Killzone 2 will put a stop to 360 gaming for a while I imagine.

good luck with that, how far off are you? i'm jealous of all you gaming people, and eagerly await my comeback! there will be so much to catch up with...FEAR 2, Lost and Damned, Halo Wars...

FEAR 2 is sick. I haven't read any reviews so I'm not sure what the word is on it but I played it, beat it and loved it. Every bit as creepy as the first, probably more so. It was a bit easy though, i'm gonna start over on the highest difficulty soon. It's decent for achievements, got around 300 or so beating it normal and finding most of the collectables. I haven't tried Lost & Damned yet, still haven't even finished the main gta storyline yet. It's been on the back burner for a long time now.

Hit 58 K last night. My word that NBA: HomeCourt is a bloody awful game. How anyone could enjoy playing it is completely beoynd me! The single player is also insanely difficult [for me at least, it's supposed to be an easy thousand!]. I just can't seem to beat the computer, it is seriously frustrating. Oh well I will give it till wednesday, then its going back to lovefilm. Hoping to get hold of H.A.W.X. on friday!

Slowly nearing the 40000 points barrier, points after points, achievements after achievements. Just 2400 points left.

FEAR 2 is probably the most well modelled game I have ever played to date: the environments are just luxurious and beautiful. The storyline does not break records but there were times when he made me jump.

Rookas and Vyk: thanks for the FEAR 2 input, now i'm more eager than ever to finally get my hands on it! Vyk you can be at 40K by the end of the month if all goes well.

congrats to D and Rob on their GS milestones, too!

Vyk you can be at 40K by the end of the month if all goes well.

That would imply somehow that I do increase my score of 30 points per game session I am currently averaging and that I keep L4D of the shelf, even if the 53595 zombie achievement is tempting. It's not that I do not have a truckload of game to complete, I just don't have the time and there is House, M.D. on TV this evening.

Besides, I am rather glued to the 15th place: RatherLargeBear is roughly 1000 points ahead and Colinisgod is 2000 points behind so my motivation suffers from the lack of a close goal.

No, the interesting part is the top two guys: not only Shreik and Misticalx have breacked 90K points but Shreik has overtaken Misticalx

Come on, guys, it's time to pay the drinks. :beer:

i'm so honored that for all my efforts around here no one has noticed that i've been offline for almost three weeks due to work and stuff! i've dropped several places and expect to be out of the top 25 soon. such is life. but when i come back, there will be hell for all you slackers to pay.

as for you vyk, you're still playing L4D? is it that good in your book? i mean, enjoyed it for a little while, but that was that.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
