That's right you boys and girls yet another game developer going that extra mile to reel in PC game pirating. All new Ubisoft titles will require a CONSTANT internet connection to play and save the game. All game save data will be stored on Ubi servers and if your connection drops out, well your game pauses and you wont be able to save. Looks like Far Cry 2 will be my last Ubisoft game. Bastards.

Oddly enough, during his third attempt in today's run for the gold, the Donkey Kong cabinet he was playing on lost power and he had to start over. He finished his last attempt with a score of around 980,000 as he hit the kill screen, ending his game.

Let's hope he isn't ready to give up yet as this was his fourth time trying to reclaim the throne after loosing the title to Billy Mitchell. Keep trying Steve, we're rooting for ya!

Build the Bytes by collecting the Bits in their proper order. Grab power-ups for enhancements like shooting, shields, speed-up, and slow-down. The game starts off easy and gets very difficult.

You know those horrible commercials that play on G4 for Westwood College where two bad actors are sitting there playing what looks to be a shitty 3D demo, talking about how great it is making games for a living?

Well, Westwood College (the makers of those shitty commercials) are getting their asses sued by 67 "graduated" students for deception, fraud and breach of contract. Seems as if their little diploma isn't worth shit. The college charged an astonishingly high $27000 to $34000 for a year and a half of classes with credits that aren't recognized or transferable to other well-respected academic institutions.

Game on, Mother Fuckers!

Wow, now here's a real Gem! This is long lost footage of a visit to the id Software offices from November of 1993. Dan Linton, of the highly successful BBS, Software Creations, visited Texas and made his way to id Software with a camcorder. This is what he recorded.

At the time this footage was shot, Bobby Prince was visiting to finish the music and create the sound effects. Also in the video, you'll see some of the id staff at the time, Jay Wilbur, Shawn Green, John Romero, Dave Taylor, Sandy Petersen and Adrian Carmack.

If you watch this video all the way through, you'll see about 20 minutes of footage of John Romero playing a pre-release version of Doom before all of the final sound effects were added. There's also a few bugs in the game that show up. There's also some Deathmatch footage in here between John and Shawn.

For all of you old school gamers out there that were around for the release of Doom and experienced the amazing impact it had on gaming at the time, this is one HELL of a trip down memory lane. A MUST WATCH!!!!
