Shooting Prevents Suicide?

So I heard a news story today about a lady who was shot to death by a cop. She attacked him with a knife because he wouldn't let her climb into a bathtub full of water and appliances. He killed her for trying to kill herself. Way to get involved.

Yet another elaborate way to call a fellow gamer a homo: "Way to land the leading role in Thief: The Brown Project."

Touche.

GFWL: I Hates It

Even tho they eventually made it free, I still hate Games for Windows Live, especially when it's required to save games....and then corrupts the save files. This corrupt save file thing is happening to me between installs on my two comps while trying to review Red Faction Guerrilla. Hate GFWL. Hate it.

Prototype + Google Maps = Win

Anyone hunting for collectibles or anything else in Prototype would do well to check this out. Enables some slick Google Maps features for a fictional Manhattan. You can click icons you choose to display on the map to get a screenshot of where exactly the item is in the world. Helped me find the Hint orbs in no time flat. :)

Yep, I win on Google

It took a lil while for the Google overlords to get my post into the index, but sure enough, I currently have the lone result for my curious process research mentioned earlier today.

08e86f6f-e74e-48a9-b8a4-f51530ae61ab.exe?

This (08e86f6f-e74e-48a9-b8a4-f51530ae61ab.exe) turned up in my task manager today, and looked awfully suspect. Turns out it's the "Alternate Start" for SuperAntiSpyware (i.e., the taskbar tray icon that enables scanning from the right-click context menu). I was a little surprised that none of the usual places had it in their databases (ProcessLibrary.com, BleepingComputer.com, FileResearchCenter.com, or WhatIsRunning.net).

So here it is for you. Let's see if this post tops out on Google. :)

Fuel = ridiculously inconsistent

I still like this game, especially once I found out about the unintended "hit select when the timer says go to switch to any vehicle in any race" feature, but get this....

I start The Swamp race in Big Cauldron's Edge using the Trailblazer, perhaps the fastest and most well balance off/on-road bike available at this point, and as the 1st place guy is crossing the finish line, I'm in fourth or fifth, more than 500m behind 1st.

I try the same race again, this time using the Dustgrinder, which is roughly half as fast as the Trailblazer. I'm racing the same drivers in the same vehicles on the same track. Everything is the SAME except that I'm using a slower vehicle. The result? I win handily by 535m and 19 sec over the 2nd place finisher.

What. The. Eff.

CoD4 = yawn

I'm amazed at how disappointed I am in Call of Duty 4 (granted, I'm just now getting around to playing it). Seriously, people think this is better than WaW? I know that'll get me shot and/or ostracized, but it's how I feel. Very on-rails, lots of random deaths you can't control, endlessly spawning enemies till you reach a certain point...I just have no motivation to keep playing it. World at War did the enemy spawn points now and then, but somehow it didn't annoy me as much as it does here. Feels like I'm playing a carnival game with nightvision goggles.

And that SAS commander guy sounds like he's talking with a mouth full of oatmeal. Without subtitles, I'd have no idea wtf he is saying. Back to Far Cry 2 for me. :\
