Indrema RIP -- 11:15 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

According to this Video Business article, Indrema, the Linux-based console gaming system, is no more. I'm not really surprised at this since you need to be able to bleed cash for a LONG time before you would ever see a return with a console. 'Twas a potentially neat idea, but that's what happens to neat ideas sans adequate funding. Thanks Slashdot.

XGR is giving away two copies of Tribes 2. All it will cost you is your email address. One caveat, they don't have a privacy policy saying exactly what they plan on doing with your address. Of course, if your email box is anything like mine, one more spam list would be almost imperceptible.

PC.IGN posted a brief preview of Blue Shift, the forthcoming Half-Life expansion from Gearbox Software. They include two screenshots too of a Barney and a scientist to show the difference between the original H-L models and the high-definition ones to be included with Blue Shift. Thanks Stomped.

Agenda VR3 Review -- 7:38 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Brighthand posted a review of the Linux-based Agenda VR3 PDA. The news isn't good. I'm not so sure that Linux is the best OS for a PDA anyway (I'd prefer one designed from the ground-up for the device). We'll have to see if the next PDA from Agenda will fix the copious bugs or if the company itself will be DOA. Thanks Slashdot.
