Work

I started working, so now will have very little time to write here again. But still playing conquer online, travian, ogame and some more games.. And still watching game scene. BTW, finally discovered why i cant play Half Life 2 on old comp.. IT was some hardware incompatibility, probably memory. On current machine (A64X2 6000+, 2*1gb ram, 8600 GK) runs from start to end without any problem. Lol, i really didnt expected that it was hardware problem, even old machine (A2500+, 2*512 ram, GF 6800) should be more than enough to run it without any problem..

Game news

Halo 3 brought extreme profit to Microsoft. During first week after releasing this game earned more than 300 000 000 dollars. And it also helped to sell much more X boxes. Must say, its really amazing, but reminds me moment, when pretty big brotherhood waited for Oblivion. And to be honest, i bought it first day after releasing, and didnt played to end till now.

Because of demand of customers, Microsoft will sell Windows xp till summer 2008. They want to stop it at January, but many customers still want it. (I also dont like Vistas, think they demand too much of system memory, and bring no advantages at all.

Because of big sucess of Apple iPhone have another manufacturer of mobile devices Palm big problems.

Electronic Arts preparing pack called Command and Conquer Saga, which should cost 50 dollars and contain 13 Command and Conquer games. Each fan already have them, but for new players this can be interesting.

Pc version of Gears of War should be ready to release at November 6th.

Some news

Team Fortress 2 on Steam. Valve bids more and more games throught this interface.

74 days after introducing on market Apple sold 1 milion of I phones. But Apple also came with really unfriendly "advantage" for users of their new I pods. They now allow upload any music throught I tunes software. Hope somebody will crack it soon.

AMD is preparing 3 core processors. Yes, it sounds strange, but i think it can bring very interresting solution for everybody.

It is supposed that this year will be sold 100 milions of notebooks.

Seagate wnat manufacture SSDs

Solid State Drives (or Discs) are pretty interesting. They bid high speed, high reliability and they consume much less power that classical hard drives. But they also cost much more than hard drive, because of expensive flash memories inside. Now only 1 company is manufacturing both.. Samsung. And by latest news, Seagate want to join, because this is whole new area, and can probably generate big profit in future. They are now looking for supplier of flash chips for those new drives, so they probably mean this seriously. Hope its true, because of each new technology cost much, but if its massive used price goes down.

Some news

GTA4 will be late. It can be finished within year, so those who want it will have to wait.

Crysis should be released at november 16th.

I have seen first video about Fallout 3. Just hope it will be as good as first 2 Fallouts.. It seems pretty nice.

Microsoft hope that until end of year, there will be bilion computers using Windows. (Hope it wouldnt)

Sharp will build new factory in Japan. It will manufacture LCD displays, and will cost 3 bilions of dollars.

Some news

About new games. Sory i left it here so long abandoned, but i finally bought new comp, so i was playing. Ya, i have only old graphic, Radeon X550 borrowed from friend, but A64 6000+ processor make it run really on the edge, and so it provide enough power to play all possible games. Hope soon ill have enough money to buy good graphic myself, and also second Gb of ram. 1G ram isnt enough, but what to do if you lack money? I bought 1 ram, and want buy second same within month, hope they will properly work in dual channel configuration. And now those promised news:

Crysis should be released at september 14th. Hope its true.

Intel announced, that they fear companies such as IBM os Samsung, not small AMD. Hm, that probably means they really fear AMD.. And they have reason, AMD top processor is less powerfull than Intel, but cost half, and also board for it is cheaper.

Hellgate London shold be ready to release soon, but nothing more known about it.

Finally good news, i got some money together. Which mean, ill go buy new comp. Say it this way: Athlon 2500+ isnt bad processor.. for use in office. BUt to play on machine 4 years old is nearly impossible. Hope that new one will be same stable as this one.. I used that say 3 full years within those 4 last.. Mean 3 years of 24/7/365 running heh.
