Pondering the Imponderable -- 8:51 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The NHL playoffs--ahh, how I've missed them. It's been almost two long years now! The Wings game has just finshed the third period. Manny Legace made two sparkling saves at the end of regulation to send it into overtime. I've got the "playoff jitters" which come when I get way too excited about a game. I suppose this makes up for my normal lack of cardiovascular workouts.

Update End of the first OT period. I think my pulse is about 2,675 now. At this rate I should get to sleep somewhere around . . . Thursday.

Update #2 YES! Kirk Maltby with the blast between the wickets to give Detroit the win in double OT. There's nothing like playoff hockey. Go Wings!

Bleh -- 8:16 am CST, Update by The Master

Eeyore purchased Burnout: Revenge a couple of weeks ago, and we finally sat down last night and played for a couple of hours. I have determined that Crash mode is totally the bomb. The first time I broke $10 million in damages I cackled like a maniac. This is the first console-based game I put more than a half-hour into in the last 10 years. We need to play again tonight >:>

A.T. Hun comments: Seems to me that I told you so :) If you like the crash gametype, just wait until you play traffic attack. There are several PS2 games that I really like, but Burnout: Revenge is far and away my favorite.

J.t.Qbe comments: I bought Burnout 3: Takedown for my Xbox a few weeks ago and have been having a great time with it. Crash Mode always makes me smile.

Quake 4 1.2 Patch Released -- 11:34 am CST, Update by The Master

id has released the version 1.2 patch for Quake 4. The linux patch is available from 3D Gamers. The windows version is available just about anyplace, but I used 3D Downloads and it was speedy. It's also available from 3D Gamers and a bunch of others. Blue has all the details.

The patch fixes a ton of various gameplay issues and adds features to multiplayer, and fixes some bugs in SP. Multithreading support was added, and some video card support issues were corrected. You can also now host servers on a normal server style box instead of a gaming level rig. However, savegames are trashed in this version.
