His name is Chuck




There couldn't be a better name for the hero of the Capcom sequel to the brilliant but tragically flawed Dead Rising. His name is Chuck Greene, and from the looks of it, he is ready to rock you.

In case you haven't seen it here is the strange Dead Rising 2 trailer.

Adult Star Marilyn Chambers found dead.


Marilyn Chambers dies at age 56. She was found shortly before her 57th birthday by her 17 year old daughter. How terrible. There are no details to the cause of death.

Having started in “Behind the Greed Door,” which is usually said in the same breath as, “Deep Throat,” and “The Devil in Miss Jones,” Marilyn established herself as an icon of the first wave of modern pornography.

These early films were the first XXX movies on laser disc and betamax cassette, for much of suburban America this was their first exposure to pornography. In a time before the internet, and porn valley mass production, it was edgy and risqué to have an adult movies in your collection. Over the years these tapes and laser discs ended up in unmarked cardboard boxes in basements with their over sized cracked plastic cases showed wear and tear, however the ideas are still remain the same.

What does this mean to the average twitchy porn aficionado? Not much, considering we are in a time in a time where a girl might be in 150 productions in one year, Marilyn Chambers made her mark in one or two “high profile,” films and that established her as a star. She could probably be considered the first crossover star having been in a David Cronenberg zombie movie called Rabid, which I have never seen, but will probably netfilx this week.

Thoughts on goals

So you need goals. You need something to strive for, something to look forward to. Without goals what is there?
It is a simple concept, sometimes difficult to grasp.

I now live with my girlfriend, whom I do love. This is true, she is nice, and pretty, and she likes me for who I am. It doesn't much better than that.

So now we live together.
A goal achived.
It is possible that I can only achieve goals with help of others?

Everyone needs someone to want them to cheer for them.

Sometimes people cheer you on because you want them too.
Sometimes you can't get it done if pride isn't on the line.

We are going to work on somethings.

You have a goal.
You even has a means to achive it to a certian extent.
Make love to your goal, make it your passion, your drive your, sex, your fuffilment to an idea. That passion that desire it what should push you forwatrd.
No matter it is.

You can still grow, There is still much to learn.

Unforeseen Consequences

The first name for me in online gaming is Steam. Steam being the game deployment system introduced by Valve created in order to help get games into the hands of gamers quickly and combat piracy. I hated it at first, however now, I really like it. It's smooth, it is good, not my point however. My point is there is lots of fun and free a stuff on Steam. If you have Half Life 2, you ought consider some of the current game mods as well as what is coming to the future.

Current important title of the moment right now is, Left 4 Dead the zombie shooter. I haven't played it yet, this seems to be Valves' most hyped game to date. With Valves' high quality and production the FPS genre as a whole tends to change with almost every release.

Counter-Strike was a mod too before it was a purchase product. This game was hugely successful with a rabid online following. Many say that Counter-Strike 1.6 is the finest version of Counter Strike. Some online players still play 1.6 considering this version to be the games' finest form.

Counter-Strike however was based on something too. The game mechanics were a mod Team Fortress, which was a mod included with the original Half-Life. However that game was spawned from an early mod of Quake, known as Quake Team Fortress. This game first presented players 2 player team combat with what are considered standard character choices in online FPS.

So where does Left 4 Dead come from? Based on free mod Zombie Panic, this multiplayer challenge introduces survivor vs zombie game play which means new multiplayer game rules and tactics. The mod was originally made for Half-Life 1, and has now been made for the Half-Life 2 engine called Zombie Panic: Source.

Zombie Panic: Source won several players choice awards for mod of the year and was featured in the March 2007 issue of PC Gamer. Frantic game play The following is a 7 min short on how the game is played. Watch out for Whitey!



What else is there? What else is interesting? What was ten years ago last month, besides a younger more spry and full of hope Charles Francis Nasty? Believe it or not Half-Life was first released to PC, way back in November of 1998. A lot has happened in 10 years. To show the change, go back and play Half-Life: Source. The physics is there, but the graphics quite dated in comparison to todays' standards.

So what are we getting hopefully early next year? Blackmesa: Source, which is a total reskinning of Half-Life: Source.
Making it look nicer. Honestly, the game is brilliant and I think what they have done looks amazing.
