The Desert Siege expansion pack was also fun. It was much shorter than I would've liked, but it certainly has some good stuff in it. Now I just need to get some mods installed and play on GameRanger. There's also a few missions I'd like to go back to from the two campaigns.
robot arena 2 1.2 crackSee you on GameRanger!
Yesterday I got Ghost Recon. I've been playing around with the demo for a while, but now I own the full version. I think I'll be able to finish off the first campaign and get started on Desert Seige later today. It's quite enjoyable so far, and I've had many fun hours of combat. If anyone knows of any good mods, let me know. I had a few for the demo (and I think they can be carried over to the full game), and would like to use some for the full game. I'd recommend the game to anybody with older computers like I have. It only gets somewhat choppy on very large open maps at medium and high levels of detail on my dual 450 MHz G4. I believe that my specs are the minimum to play the game, but don't take my word for it.
See you on GameRanger!
I was watching Matrix Reloaded DVD the other day, and one thing led to another...
Now I own the soundtracks for all three movies. I got the first movie soundtrack quite a while ago, but I decided that the other two would be too good to miss (plus Amazon.com had a special deal if you got Reloaded and Revolutions together). So now I'm listening to Furious Angels, Chateau, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Neodammerung, Navras, and many more kick-bleep* tunes non-stop while I'm on my computer. I've yet to incorporate any of the new songs into my best mixes, but I've assembled a playlist of some of my favorite Matrix songs from all three movies (which includes Clubbed to Death, of course). Anyway, I recommend the entire collection. A few songs are not as good, but the others make up for it and then some!
Enjoy the music!

For those of you not up to speed, here's the deal.
Although as of this writing only 97% of the precincts have reported, Kerry has won it. That's a nice streak, considering how much his campaign has had to come back from the dead. Dean came in a fairly distant second, Clark came in after him with an equally large gap. Edwards was right on his heels. Lieberman was under 10% as I predicted. The other candidates don't matter.
Nobody will drop out (as I also predicted), but it's likely that two or three of them will drop out after the next round, which holds a lot more delegates. I think that Kerry has enough momentum to actually win several states in the next one, and probably rob the others of states they're hoping to win. Clark may give him more of a fight, but I think Kerry will pull it off.
I enjoyed watching Dean's speech. He didn't roll up his sleeves this time, and was very, very quiet. If he ever does win a state, he'll probably not even show up, for fear of messing things up again. I think he's preparing his followers for when he loses the nomination and has to drop out. If you look and listen very closely, the hints are there. He's too proud to drop out after the 3rd, but he could be gone anytime after that. It's still too early to tell.
My gut says that Kerry will win the nomination easily now. He's definitely on a roll, and will be very hard to stop. So far he's gotten a lot of very important endorsements. The people that matter are helping Kerry. Gore and company have been more of a curse than a blessing for Dean. As much as he puts himself forward as anti-insider, he's gotten a lot of support from those people. Kerry doesn't have that kind of hypocrisy, and the support he has gotten has been very helpful.
Hopefully now Kerry can clinch it and unite the party. The quicker the better.
Yay for Massachusetts (again)!
Today I'm going to discuss the New Hampshire primary, and its actual impact on the world.
Here are the facts:
Only seven of the last thirteen winners of the state actually won the democratic nomination, including the second term runners.
"Always first, always right" is their motto.
I'll let you do the math.
If you actually care, you can read all about the neccessity of New Hampshire being first. In fact, the entire site is dedicated to New Hampshire's greatness. If you read the site, you are surely going to be convinced of their absolute importance in this process. Clearly, without New Hampshire there wouldn't be any nominations, and the democracy we all hold so dear would collapse around us.
Oh well, whatever helps them sleep at night...
Don't forget to vote!
