Need For Speed's latest addition

Since a lot of new great games are coming out this year , I will try to get as much info on the latest game and will post em here.So most of my post will be about games that are coming out, notice also that I am only covering for really2 great games that are worth playing, and all games covered are pc games.

A New Gameplay

Need for Speed: ProStreet will take the Need for Speed series in a new direction of gameplay. Instead of an arcade style of gameplay which has dominated the series, ProStreet will focus much more on realism and move closer to, but not into, racing simulation, and still with options to use driving assistants to make driving easier and more arcade-like. Unlike its predecessors, all racing in ProStreet will take place on closed tracks, thus making it the first game in the series not animating illegal racing behaviour since Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, hence there will not be any police in the game. Performance tuning will take up a large part of gameplay in a way that even a small adjustment of the shape of a car's body will impact its performance. Autosculpt is back from Carbon, but with much greater detail. According to an Electronic Arts employee, there will be thousands of aftermarket upgrades, visual and performance, from real performance brands.^[3]

ProStreet will feature next-generation graphics aiming for a more photo-realistic feel, and more advanced physics. It will also be the first Need for Speed game to include damage modelling since 2000's Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. The new damage system is said to be very accurate, as a collision with any object in the game world may render a car damaged or even useless

These are the screenshots for the new Need For Speed game , its coming out sometime in November, will try to get more coverage on it, in the mean time here are the screenshots.These are actual screenshots people....

StarCraft 2 in the works

Before that, a brief history of StarCraft....

StarCraft is a real-time strategy game by Blizzard Entertainment. It was initially released for Microsoft Windows in 1998. A Mac OS version of the game was released in 1999, and a port to the Nintendo 64 was released in 2000. The main storyline follows a war among three galactic species: the adaptable and mobile Terrans, who are descendants of Human outcasts from Earth; the hive mind arthropodal Zerg; and the psionic humanoid Protoss warriors.

StarCraft was the best-selling computer game in 1998^[1] and won the Origins Award for Best Strategy Computer Game of that year.^[2] StarCraft was listed on IGN's "Top 100 Games of All Time" feature as #7, and in 2006, received a Star on the Walk of Game at Metreon, San Francisco. Nine million copies of StarCraft and its expansion pack, StarCraft: Brood War, have been sold since its release,^[3] making it the third best-selling computer game in history (behind The Sims and The Sims 2). It is especially popular in South Korea, where professional players and teams participate in matches, earn sponsorships, and compete in televised matches.^[4] Blizzard initially intended to continue the story with the tactical shooter StarCraft: Ghost, which was later put on hold indefinitely.

Now after nearly 10 years the sequel, StarCraft II,had been announced on May 19, 2007, in Seoul, South Korea.It has been speculated to the be the most anticipated game of all time.

StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft. Legions of veteran, upgraded, and brand-new unit types will do battle across the galaxy, as each faction struggles for survival.

Featuring a unique single-player campaign that picks up where StarCraft: Brood War left off, StarCraft II will present a cast of new heroes and familiar faces in an edgy sci-fi story filled with adventure and intrigue. In addition, Blizzard will again offer unparalleled online play through Battle.net, the company's world-renowned gaming service, with several enhancements and new features to make StarCraft II the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game.

Features:

• Fast-paced, hard-hitting, tightly balanced competitive real-time strategy gameplay that recaptures and improves on the magic of the original game
• Three completely distinct races: Protoss, Terran, and Zerg
• New units and gameplay mechanics further distinguish each race
• Groundbreaking single-player campaign
• Vibrant new 3D-graphics engine with support for dazzling visual effects and massive unit and army sizes

Mario's Super Mushroom

I found a great article on the net related to Super Mario.U know the halcyon days of Mario , where he would eat a mushroom and grow bigger so u could easily stomp on the goombas , remember those days.Well apparently the mushroom is real, and here it is.



Yup. The Super Mushroom is real. Sorta. That's the Amanita muscaria, commonly called "fly mushroom," that's found in Northern Europe and Scandavia. Eating it won't cause abnormal growth, but hallucinations or even death. With the way some people are, I'm just surprised some moron hasn't gotten sick eating one of these and then blamed it on Nintendo! So, remember kids, don't ingest things you find in the forest. Words to live by!

P/S:I wonder how they taste like??

The New GT , no it's not a car

I know Raya's coming up and i should be looking forward to that, but instead I'm looking forward for the new upcoming Nvidia card thats coming out at the end of this month (probably its going to be called 8800GT).I must say thats its the best card I've seen thus far , u guys probably wouldnt understand if i were to get into all the technical details but just look at it.The card itself is the most sexiest card I've ever seen.A high performing card thats very slim. Most high end cards are bulky, noisy,takes 2 slots in your pc, and produce lots of heat, and thats a big no no in this time and age.So a high performing card that doesn't have the disadvantages of a high end card deserves my attention. I will definitely get me one of those.Will need to save up for it first,there goes my allowance.

p/s:Currently using an Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 128mb DDR3 , sad rite.But then again u wouldn't understand.

Hiatus starts now

It's thursday, while most of the students here have gone back to their humble abode, I'm still here in college spending my last moments before the holiday starts.It's depressingly quiet here.Raya is coming in the next 2 days, so it's only normal this time of the year for the hostel area to be completely empty.I guess there's only a few students left, not sure if any of them are staying here for the duration of the holiday which is 1 week.I'll be going back myself today. Not much of a hiatus for me tho since I have lots of assignments to finish.

I would like to apologize for any mistakes I had done especially to family and friends , Know that I never meant to hurt anyone.Have a wonderful raya ahead, and if you'll be driving back on a long journey remember to drive safely.

~Selamat Hari Raya , Maaf Zahir Batin
Best Wishes
