NFL Week #16 Final -- 6:31 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Well, there was good reason that I had a bad feeling about my picks. On a big weekend of upsets, I was 5-10, by far my worst weekend ever. Eeyore was a slightly more respectable 7-8. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Year to date that puts me at 141-92 (.605) and Eeyore is 133-100 (.571). Yikes, now I'll have to have a decent weekend just to keep my head over .600 for the year!

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault SP Demo -- 1:02 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

A version of the single-player demo for 2015's Quake III-powered game, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, has made its way to the Net. You can download a copy from Blue's list of mirrors. It weighs in at a pretty substantial 150.4M. It doesn't contain the DirectX 8 files it asks to install, so make sure you say "no" to that question.

UPDATE! I got it downloaded and gave it a whirl. At first, I thought it crashed when I tried to load a level. After further investigation I discovered that for whatever reason it was trying to contact the Internet and appeared to freeze since ZoneAlarm was waiting for my response. Once I got all that sorted out, I played a bit. Boy, and I thought that Wolfenstein taxed my system. Parts of this level became a slideshow. Obviously my poor Celery 400's days are numbered. The game seemed cool with a real "you are there" feel, but my machine is just too underpowered to make it playable.

Happy New Year! -- 10:51 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Welcome to 2002! Another year and the news script successfully survives. I guarantee that this will be another year of whatever it is we do here at The Haus. Here's the number one gaming question I have for the new year: Will Duke Nukem Forever be released?

Enjoy all the football games today. Go Wolverines!
