Blizzcon 08: StarCraft II Split Into Three Games.
""US, October 10, 2008 - ANAHEIM--Blizzard dropped a bombshell at the 2008 Blizzcon today by announcing that StarCraft II, the highly-awaited sequel to the smash hit 1998 real-time strategy game, StarCraft, has been split into three. The company said that StarCraft II now consists of three different stand-alone titles--one for each faction campaign. The first of the StarCraft II trilogy will be StarCraft II Terrans: Wings of Liberty. The second will be StarCraft II Zerg: Heart of the Swarm, with the third and final installment of the main trilogy being StarCraft II Protoss: Legacy of the Void. Blizzard says it made the change to make each story that much more epic and to flesh out the StarCraft universe. By splitting the game, the company says that players will access more story content, more characters, and more customization. Rob Pardo, executive vice president of game design, said that each game would be approximate in size to the original StarCraft. Each game will be a stand-alone installment – not an expansion.
The original StarCraft, according to Pardo, had 32 missions; 12 for the Terrans, and 10 each for the Zerg and the Protoss. According to Blizzard, each of these StarCraft II games will consist of more than 30 missions. Pardo explained that the multiplayer remains relatively unchanged; each StarCraft II game will have a fully functioning multiplayer suite with all three races playable. "[In] the shipping product, all three races will be fully featured and balanced in gameplay and also in content," he said. We asked about the timeline for the three StarCraft II games, using Valve's original prediction of shipping all three episodes of the Half-Life 2 episodes within a single year, but reality is that it will take more than more like three years.""

Three years for the complete SCII? That's a lifetime in gaming years. And as for rumours that Diablo III will ship first, Pardo had this parting shot:
"It's going to ship before Diablo III for sure; Diablo III is further out."

Ok yeah cheats give you the next best thing once you have completed a game, but once you use cheats on an Xbox 360 for example (GTA4) you lose out on achieve points, if i was u i would only use cheats if you have clocked the game and have all the points you can achieve.

Comments: 1 | by hellscream Ubisoft creative director: “Piracy’s basically killing PC”.
“”Ubisoft Shanghai creative director Michael de Plater has told VG247 that a PC version of EndWar would most likely be shipping alongside the console SKUs if it wasn’t for rampant PC piracy, and that copyright theft is essentially destroying the PC games market.
“To be honest, if PC wasn’t pirated to hell and back, there’d probably be a PC version coming out the same day as the other two,” he said, talking of the voice-controlled RTS.
“But at the moment, if you release the PC version, essentially what you’re doing is letting people have a free version that they rip off instead of a purchased version. Piracy’s basically killing PC.”
We asked if piracy was the main reason to keep EndWar off PC.
“Yeah, at the time of release,” he said. “You know, the level of piracy that you get with the PC just cannibalizes the others, because people just steal that version.”
De Plater also told us that a PC version is likely to be released further down the line, as reported yesterday.
Tom Clancy’s EndWar does appear to be very good, from what we played of it. Looks as though you’re not going to be leeching a PC version for a while yet, though. You know who you are.””

Finally i have clocked one of the most expiring games ever to hit a PS3 disk, MGS4 Guns Of The Patriots, i have completed it on the hardest of the hardest, it may have took me like 31 hours of repetitive trying but in the end i managed to slip past and get to the end, the fight with Liquid Ocelot was amazing, the only thing i dislike was the graveyard scene with Big Boss!

Comments: 2 | by Deeno0 Five Reasons why Windows Vista has failed.
With Windows 7 due to deploy next year, one wonders why Vista has had such a short shelf life. When you look at it, though, it is readily apparent.
On Friday, Microsoft gave computer makers a six-month extension for offering Windows XP on newly-shipped PCs. While this doesn’t impact enterprise IT — because volume licensing agreements will allow IT to keep installing Windows XP for many years to come — the move is another symbolic nail in Vista’s coffin. The public reputation of Windows Vista is in shambles, as Microsoft itself tacitly acknowledged in its Mojave ad campaign. IT departments are largely ignoring Vista. In June (18 months after Vista’s launch), Forrester Research reported that just 8.8% of enterprise PCs worldwide were running Vista. Meanwhile, Microsoft appears to have put Windows 7 on an accelerated schedule that could see it released in 2010. That will provide IT departments with all the justification they need to simply skip Vista and wait to eventually standardize on Windows 7 as the next OS for business.
So how did Vista get left holding the bag? Here then are the five most important reasons why Vista failed:

1. It broke too much stuff.
Microsoft either forgot or disregarded that fact when it released Windows Vista, because, despite a long beta period, a lot of existing software and hardware were not compatible with Vista when it was released in January 2007. Since many important programs and peripherals were unusable in Vista, that made it impossible for a lot of IT departments to adopt it. Many of the incompatibilities were the result of tighter security.
After Windows was targeted by a nasty string of viruses, worms, and malware in the early 2000s, Microsoft embarked on the Trustworthy Computing initiative to make its products more secure. One of the results was Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), which won over IT and paved the way for XP to become the world’s mostly widely deployed OS.

2. There wasn’t supposed to be a Vista.
It’s easy to forget that when Microsoft launched Windows XP it was actually trying to change its OS business model to move away from shrink-wrapped software and convert customers to software subscribers. That’s why it abandoned the naming convention of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 2000, and instead chose Windows XP. Microsoft released Windows XP and Office XP simultaneously in 2001 and both included product activation and the plan to eventually migrate to subscription products. However, by the end of 2001 Microsoft had already abandoned the subscription concept with Office, and quickly returned to the shrink-wrapped business model and the old product development model with both products.

3. Vista is too slow.
For years Microsoft has been criticized by developers and IT professionals for “software bloat” — adding so many changes and features to its programs that the code gets huge and unwieldy. However, this never seemed to have enough of an effect to impact software sales. With Windows Vista, software bloat appears to have finally caught up with Microsoft.

4. Windows XP is too entrenched.
In 2001, when Windows XP was released, there were about 600 million computers in use worldwide. Over 80% of them were running Windows but it was split between two code bases: Windows 95/98 (65%) and Windows NT/2000 (26%), according to IDC. One of the big goals of Windows XP was to unite the Windows 9x and Windows NT code bases, and it eventually accomplished that.

5. Apple successfully demonized VistaApple’s clever.
"I’m a Mac" ads have successfully driven home the perception that Windows Vista is buggy, boring, and difficult to use. After taking two years of merciless pummeling from Apple, Microsoft recently responded with it’s I’m a PC campaign in order to defend the honor of Windows. This will likely restore some mojo to the PC and Windows brands overall, but it’s too late to save Vista’s perception as a dud.

In summary, with Vista, there are simply no major incentives for IT to use it over XP. Security isn’t even that big of an issue because XP SP2 (and above) are solid and most IT departments have it locked down quite There are some who argue that Vista is actually more widely adopted than XP was at this stage after its release, and that it’s highly likely that Vista will eventually replace XP in the enterprise. I don’t agree. With XP, there were clear motivations to migrate: bring Windows 9x machines to a more stable and secure OS and bring Windows NT/2000 machines to an OS with much better hardware and software compatibility. And, you also had the advantage of consolidating all of those machines on a single OS in order to simplify support. Microsoft needs to abandon the strategy of releasing a new OS every 3-5 years and simply stick with a single version of Windows and release updates, patches, and new features on a regular basis. Most IT departments are essentially already on a subscription model with Microsoft so the business strategy is already in place there.

Easy impressing in Creature phase

During the Creature phase (right out of the tidal pool), you can get additional parts for your creature by impressing the alpha versions of the fellow inhabitants of your world. When you first approach them, sometimes others of their species will join in the game. The more of them there are, the more difficult it can become. Push the alpha away from the nest, and try to solo it out so that you only have to deal with him dancing, singing, etc. against your crew of followers.

Start Tribal phase with domesticated animals

Have members of other tribes in your pack before completing the Creature phase. When you advance to the Tribal phase, they will be transformed into domesticated animals in your tribe's pen.

Миг-31 (истребитель-перехватчик)

МиГ-31 является дальнейшей модернизацией истребителя-перехватчика МиГ-25. Предназначен для использования в системе ПВО, способен выполнять длительное патрулирование и вести борьбу со всеми классами аэродинамических целей, в том числе малоразмерными крылатыми ракетами, вертолетами и высотными сверхзвуковыми самолетами в любое время суток, при любой погоде и при интенсивном ведении РЭБ.

Самолет двухместный, выполнен по нормальной аэродинамической схеме с трапециевидным высокорасположенным крылом, цельноповоротным стабилизатором и двухкилевым оперением. Планер самолета изготовлен на 50% из нержавеющей стали, 16% - титана, 33% - из алюминиевых сплавов и 1%-другие конструкционные материалы. Серийный выпуск начался в 1979 г. на авиазаводе в г. Горьком.

Целевое оборудование позволяет использовать истребитель-перехватчик МиГ-31 автономно, в составе группы из однотипных самолетов или в качестве самолета-лидера для управления действиями истребителей (МиГ-23, МиГ-25, МиГ-29, Су-27 или Су-15). Самолет оснащен импульсно-доп-лсровской РЛС СБИ “Заслон” с фазированной антенной-решеткой (ФАР) большой мощности.

Максимальная дальность обнаружения цели ЭПР 16 кв.м. - 200 км, дальность сопровождения цели класса самолет ДРЛО - 120 км, класса истребитель - 90 км в передней полусфере и, соответственно, 120 и 70 км в задней полусфере. РЛС позволяет обнаруживать и сопровождать до 10 различных целей и одновременно наводить УР на четыре цели. Истребитель МиГ-31 оснащен теплопеленгатором, позволяющим скрыто осуществлять поиск и применять оружие, а также действовать в условиях интенсивных радиоэлектронных помех.

Использование цифровой системы закрытой связи АПД-518 обеспечивает обмен радиолокационной информацией в группе из 4 самолетов МиГ-31, удаленных до 200 км, и наведение на цель группы истребителей, имеющих менее совершенное БРЭО. Использование системы АПД-518 обеспечивает скрытую атаку цели истребителем МиГ-31 при слежении за целью другим истребителем, находящимся на безопасном удалении от самолетов противника и транслирующим радиолокационную информацию на атакующий самолет.

Навигационное оборудование включает радионавигационные системы “Тропик” (”Лоран”, точность определения координат - 0,13 - 1,3 км на дистанции 2000 км) и “Маршрут” (”Омега”, точность определения координат - 1,8 - 3.6 км на дистанции 2000-10000 км). Обеспечивается возможность использования самолета на арктическом ТВД.

Самолет оборудован тележечным шасси, допускающим эксплуатацию с грунтовых ВПП. Имеется система дозаправки топливом в полете с выдвижной штангой.

В последнее время в советской и зарубежной печати все чаще стали появляться упоминания о новом советском боевом самолете МиГ-31. Благодаря гласности информация о вчера еще совершенно секретном самолете сегодня стала обычной на страницах газет и журналов, а его изображения украшают даже настенные календари.

Еще в январе 1989 года к заявлению Комитета министров обороны государств - участников Варшавского Договора “О соотношении численности вооруженных сил и вооружений Организации Варшавского Договора и Североатлантического пакта (НАТО) в Европе и прилегающих территориях” были приложены данные о личном составе и вооружениях каждой страны. В частности, перечислялись наши боевые самолеты, в том числе впервые открыто упомянули истребители-перехватчики ПВО МиГ-25 и МиГ-31. Спустя четыре месяца, в День войск противовоздушной обороны, в одной из центральных газет поместили эффектный снимок нового перехватчика и привели слова Главнокомандующего этим родом Вооруженных Сил: “Истребительная авиация ПВО располагает сегодня перехватчиками четвертого поколения МиГ-31 и Су-27″ (см. “ТМ” №8 за 1989 г.), а в репортаже из авиационного подразделения подчеркивалось, что “здешняя летная часть летает на двухместном МиГ-31, что некогда испытывал Герой Советского Союза А.В.Федотов и на котором ровно 5 лет назад вместе со штурманом В.С.Зайцевым сложил голову. Испытателей-микояновцев в полку зндот, помнят и Федотова…”

Так что же представляет собой самолет, еще недавно считавшийся секретным и скрывавшийся за семью печатями? Проектирование его специалисты ОКБ имени А.И.Микояна начали еще в 1970 году, взяв за основу выпускавшийся серийно перехватчик МиГ-25, созданный в 60-е годы в ответ на появление в США высотных сверхзвуковых разведчиков и бомбардировщиков. Как и МиГ-25, это был цельносварной самолет из специальных сплавов. Первоначально машина даже называлась МиГ-25МП. Общее руководство по разработке и испытаниям возглавил Генеральный конструктор Р.А.Беляков.

“Тридцать первый” предназначался для перехвата и уничтожения воздушных целей, летящих как на больших, так и на средних и малых высотах (на фоне земли); в передней и задней полусферах; в простых и сложных метеоусловиях; днем и ночью, при применении противником маневра и постановке им активных и пассивных радиолокационных помех и тепловых ловушек.

Внешне он очень напоминает “двадцать пятый” - два киля, два скошенных воздухозаборника по бокам фюзеляжа. Но дальше начинаются различия, притом весьма существенные. Прежде всего бросается в глаза, что на МиГ-31 за кабиной летчика есть вторая кабина, тогда как “двадцать пятый” был одноместным. Эксплуатация самолета с довольно внушительной взлетной массой на обычных аэродромах заставила изменить конструкцию шасси: впервые на истребителе применили двухколесные тележки, на которых колеса располагались так называемым “разнесенным тандемом”, что уменьшило давление на покрытие взлетно-посадочной полосы.

Энерговооруженность самолета увеличили за счет установки двух модифицированных, высокоэкономичных, турбореактивных, двухконтурных двигателей Д-30, развивающих на полном форсаже тягу по 15500 кг - почти на треть больше, чем на “двадцать пятом”. В отличие от других перехватчиков МиГ-31 способен в полете несколько раз дозаправляться от летающих танкеров, значительно увеличивая дальность и время полета.

Новый истребитель оснастили помехозащищенным комплексом, обеспечивающим надежный перехват воздушных целей. Он состоит из бортовой радиолокационной станции с фазированной антенной решеткой (применена на самолете впервые в мире) теплопеленгатора для передней полусферы и индикатора тактической обстановки. Поскольку летчику стало труднее одновременно управлять машиной, вооружением и прицельно-навигационной аппаратурой, в экипаж ввели штурмана-оператора.

Есть на МиГ-31 и аппаратура передачи данных, предназначенная для взаимодействия групп из четырех машин в полете строем, целераспределения и координации атак. Она позволяет одновременно сопровождать до десяти целей и производить пуск управляемых ракет сразу по четырем.

Как известно, боевая эффективность самолета зависит от состава и возможностей его вооружения. На МиГ-31 оно подбирается в зависимости от особенностей цели и боевой обстановки. В его состав могут входить четыре ракеты большой дальности с радиоголовками самонаведения; они же и две ракеты средней дальности с тепловыми головками самонаведения; четыре ракеты большой дальности и столько же малой дальности (ракеты ближнего маневренного боя). Примечательно, что конструкторы разместили их так, чтобы они оказывали вдвое меньшее сопротивление набегающему потоку воздуха. Кроме того, в центроплан встроена 23-мм пушка с боекомплектом в 260 снарядов. Впервые на МиГе применили пушку с огромной скорострельностью в несколько тысяч выстрелов в минуту- пушка того же калибра истребителя МиГ-15 уступала ей в этом отношении более чем в полтора раза!

Да и по боевым возможностям у МиГ-31 нет аналогов ни у нас, ни за рубежом. Судите сами: экипаж перехватчика может, конечно, действовать в одиночку, но его главное назначение - работать группами по четыре машины под командованием самолета-лидера, при этом обмен информацией между ними и наземной автоматической системой управления производится автоматически, а все задачи, связанные с поиском целей и координацией группы, решаются бортовыми средствами, постоянно принимающими сведения с земли и взаимодействующих в группе перехватчиков. Впрочем, она может действовать и без помощи земли, осуществляя контроль за защищаемым обширным воздушным коридором.

Что же касается одиночного самолета, то он способен одновременно перехватывать несколько объектов, идущих на разных высотах, разными курсами и с различными скоростями. Хотя МиГ-31 -не самолет маневренного боя, но выполняет все фигуры высшего пилотажа.

Таков новый боевой .самолет, созданный в традиционно истребительном КБ, история которого началась более полувека назад.

…В августе 1975 года на опытный прототип МиГ-31 назначили экипаж - летчика-испытателя, шеф-пилота фирмы Героя Советского Союза А.В.Федотова, ведущего инженера С.Г.Полякова (ныне директор опытного завода), механика В.Н.Кичева. 16 сентября Федотов впервые поднял машину в воздух, начались всесторонние летные испытания. Позже к ним подключились летчики П.М.Остапенко, Б.А.Орлов, А.Г.Фастовец, В.Е.Меницкий и Т.О.Аубакиров, штурманы В.С.Зайцев и Л.С.Попов, ведущими инженерами на экспериментальных перехватчиках были Л.И.Сви-дерский и Э.К.Кострубский (ныне-технический руководитель темы, заместитель главного конструктора).

Испытания “тридцать первого” заняли несколько лет и подтвердили верность заложенных в него инженерных решений. К сожалению, не обошлось без чрезвычайных происшествий - 20 сентября 1979 года произошла авария, Остапенко и Попову пришлось катапультироваться. Не секрет, летчики-испытатели покидают опытные машины лишь в исключительных случаях, когда не остается шансов на благополучную посадку и нужно только успеть оставить вовремя обреченную машину, А это удается не всегда…

В апреле 1984 года “Красная звезда” вышла с некрологом: “4 апреля погиб выдающийся летчик-испытатель, лауреат Ленинской премии, Герой Советского Союза, генерал-майор авиации Александр Васильевич Федотов… установивший 18 мировых авиационных рекордов скорости, высоты, скороподъемности, ряд из которых не превзойден до настоящего времени”.

Можно добавить, что, начав летать в 1951 году, Федотов 8998 раз поднимал в небо машины разных типов и провел в воздухе почти 5 тыс. часов. И еще деталь-шеф-пилот ОКБ, летавший на сверхзвуке, поднимавшийся в стратосферу, в свободное время с удовольствием парил на планере и отменно рисовал. В юности он даже собирался поступить в художественное училище, однако любовь к авиации пересилила…

Многим работникам ОКБ запомнился отзыв Федотова о новом самолете: “МиГ-31 обладает самыми большими возможностями из всех самолетов, которые мне приходилось испытывать!” А в том последнем полете, когда подвели приборы и летчику не хватило высоты, чтобы спасти машину, во второй кабине был штурман Валерий Зайцев. В свое время французский пилот и писатель А. де Сент-Экзюпери сказал: “Тот, кто умирает ради того, чтобы двинуть вперед наши познания, тот, умирая, служит жизни…” Эти слова как будто специально написаны о Федотове и Зайцеве.

Серийное производство МиГ-31 начали в 1979 году. С тех пор его улучшали, модернизировали, приспосабливали для решения новых боевых задач. Большие резервы, заложенные в его конструк

Comments: 1 | by vEtEr@n DSi software to be region specific...Imports won't work locally.
In what will come as a big disappointment to PAL gamers, Nintendo has said that software for its upcoming DSi handheld will be region locked.
That means that the DSi games you import from Japan and North America won't work on your Australian handheld. It's the first portable Nintendo console to suffer this fate.

"[The] DSi embeds net communication functionality within itself and we are intending to provide net services specifically tailored for each region," Nintendo told Eurogamer. "Also because we are including parental control functionality for Nintendo DSi and each region has its unique age limit made by different independent bodies."

Oddly, despite the above reasoning, all future standard DS games won't be affected and will still be region free worldwide. The DSi was announced last week, where game journalists were told that Nintendo would be adding a digital camera, music player and a SD card slot to the DS Lite's existing repertoire. One way to beat the importing of games...one that Sony suffered for terribly with the PS One.
Comments: 1 | by herodotus Crysis Wars available for free next weekend.
Following in the footsteps of Valve's successful "Team Fortress 2" and "Day of Defeat: Source" Free weekends, Electronic Arts have announced that gamers will be able to play "Crysis Wars" - the newly-minted multi-player component of the sci-fi shooter series that has just been released alongside "Crysis Warhead" - for free on the weekend of October 10-12.
Players will be able to register their interest from Monday, October 6 at the official "Crysis" website where they will be given a unique registration key to test the game out for free. Although online play will only be available from October 10-12, players will be able to grab a few friends together and experience "Crysis Wars" via LAN play from October 6.
If you don't already own a copy of "Crysis Warhead", head on over to the official Crysis website this Monday to try the online fun of "Crysis Wars" for yourself. Not happy with the original MP? This one is more of a typical Team Deathmatch approach, which is far more popular.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can help me out?

I'm a huge fan of the Mortal Kombat game series, unfortunately I can't continue the series after MK4 because I'm not a console fan.

To get to the point, I recently got the whole PC collection of Mortal Kombat (that's MK 1-4) and for some reason I can't get MK-Trilogy working. It installs and starts with no problems but the minute I enter the (Choose Character) section of the game and choose for instance "Scorpion" the game shuts down and sends me a message saying there's a error.

At the moment I'm using Windows Vista and yes I know that's the problem, but the collection came with a XP patch for Trilogy and exactly the same problem happens on XP.

I wondering if any of you know how to manipulate the game in working on XP or Vista, because I'm not degrading to Windows 2000 or lower, that would just be a waste for one game maybe two.

Any help would be appreciated, MK-Trilogy is my favorite Mortal Kombat, but if no one can help I would also understand.

Thanks Guys... GAME ON!!!

VARIOUS CHEATS AND HINTS

Free items: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding.
Use a text editor to edit the "game info" file in the "stronghold" folder.
Change all the values to zero to make everything in the game free.

Build fences: When bears kill civilians, your popularity decreases. To avoid this, simply build a wood fence around a bear when it appears.

Woodcutter: Place 1-2 Woodcutter-huts near the trees you want to remove. I.e.: If you need/want to build in areas with trees.

Baker / Brewery / Weapons&Armory: Build a wall before you place the Huts. You will now be able to build up against the wall. Now, remove the wall again and you can see inside the Huts from 3 more angles.

Stockpile / Granary: When nearly full, you will get the message ; "Stockpile / Granary Full". Build more Stockpile / Granary in connection with the existing. If you want to "split/move" the Stockpile / Granary,all you need is to build in that given direction and tear down the Stockpile / Granary´s you don´t want. You will now have 2 or more groups you can continue from. Use the same method if you want rows of Stockpile / Granary´s with an ayle in between.

Pits: Place Pits (small black squares) in a pattern ( your initials or a logo) on a plane area, then set on fire with a bowman. (remember to place a "Burner" in the tower you'e shooting from). Now look at the map....LOL.

Rabbits: Stupid stupid animals. Bowmen can kill the bastards. Your "King" can kill the bastards; highlight the king and aim on the rabbit in the far end of the pack. The king will kill all rabbits on his way to the choosen one. You can also fence in the rabbits, but you will have to be quick about it.

Ghosts: Buy some shrines and you will have a ghost of a decapitated lord. (he is hard to see, so look close.Only 1 ghost per castle)

I would appreciate any help with solving a puzzle that has me stuck. I am really struggling with one of the 'Cleopatra, Riddle of the Tomb' puzzles. It is the one where you have to fill a specific pot up with specific measurments of water to open a water lock on the mausoleum door. I have tried and re-tried all kinds of combinations according to the riddle they gave me but nothing seems to unlock the door yet. Any tips? Thanks, Michelle farmgirl_92@yahoo.ca

I am an avid Diablo 2 player and I'm sure there are many others out there. However, recently I have not been playing it and subsequently my account has been 'lost'. I was wondering if anyone knew how to recover lost accounts because trust me, this one took ages to develop and I would hate to think that it was all for nothing. Also I have proposed a new update; Clan-wars. I haven't been active in the D2 community recenty so I'm not too sure if this is already in the works but I think it would be a fantastic up date. If there were designated servers for clans to pk each other, it would not interfere with the players attempting to comlpete the quests. Everyone hates people who pk questers!

Anyway, let me know what you think and I'd love for someone to get back to me about my account dilemma.

Cheers, Jake.
