Weeee. Of all the consoles only the Xbox will be getting Half-Life 2.

Matrix Revolutions Posters are up

Published at Tuesday, Sep 30th, 2003 in Journal. Closed

This and 3 others are available at the official site, this was released along with the news of a simultaneous worldwide release, which is indeed good news for us Europeans.

It’s slightly different from other worldwide releases in that across the world the film will be released at ‘zero-hour’. Read more here.

Creating a game in this day and age that doesn’t support hot-swapping between it and Windows is probably the stupidest thing since the US foreign policy.

One wrong tap on the Windows key and WHAM! Homeworld dissappears. A single IM and BLAMMO! no more conquest of space for poor little me.

BAH!

Going to watch Cypher and Spider…

Well Rikke and I are about to settle in with a couple of movies, namely Cypher and Spider. I’m saying this mostly so that I can lead into…

Tomorrow I’ll put up ‘reviews’ of the last 5-6 movies that I’ve seen, seems I’m lagging behind, but this whole IO business threw my schedule out the window. Which is odd considering that I still have absolutely nothing to do until January, but then again the business of running around in circles is not to be underestimated.

Homeworld 2 is still kicking my ass!

PS: Brian, here’s your WiFi Internet phone.

Homeworld 2

Just wrenched in atmosphere and dripping with the austere coldness of space, Homeworld stands as both one of the greatest games ever made and one of the most frustratingly ass-hat games ever made.

(I can’t get past the first serious mission!! Either I suck or the difficulty level is set waaay to high… Don’t even think about it!)

WTF, where’s the garlic-jar?!

Published at Monday, Sep 29th, 2003 in Journal. 4 Comments

Okay so check this out. In the window-sill of our kitchen in our ground-level apartment there stood a Garlic-jar. A small white garlic-jar with a broken lid which resembled some sort of carved out garlic or whatever.

In this garlic-jar we had garlic.

Now yesterday after purchasing some new garlic Rikke goes to put them into the jar since… that’s right, it’s a garlic-jar. But it’s not there! It’s gone! We searched high and low, wondered if we might’ve showered with it or used it as a smelly-paper-weight somewhere else in this generally very small apartment.

But no. It’s gone, absolutely and positively vanished.

So what we figure is that since the window has a tendency to get opened when we cook and then remain open a little while after, some guy (or girl if you will) has walked past and thought: “A money-jar! I’ll take it!”

Never mind that you have to be as stupid as someone willing to deposit their money in a jar in the window-sill for everyone to see to believe in that. But that this person (if indeed this is what happened) then goes on to remove the garlic-jar, garlic and all, and leave us standing around with big bold question marks hanging comically over our heads.

If you’re out there: Give us back our garlic-jar you kitchen terrorist!
