| EA shutting down game servers prematurely |
|
| Posted by Chip on Wednesday, January 06, 2010 @ 06:45:05 MST (26 reads)

One of the problems of having dedicated servers run by the game maker is they determine when the server should be shut down. Take a moment and think where Clan Beowulf would be without its Quake 2, Quake 3 and Battlefield servers. In EA's defense, their game servers have always been available and well managed. Apparently the cost of running quality servers is having an impact. It's expected servers will be shut down at some time but read on for the shocking list of recent titles that will be shut down. On another note, why wouldn't you just scale down the number of servers to accommodate demand or lack thereof?

The BF series is going back to it's roots with a modern graphics engine and revamped maps. In-game menuing and game-play looks to be dumbed down a bit, or maybe I should say arcadish. Hopefully there will be options to hide floating icons. I mean, do you really need a floating icon to tell you there's a 30 foot plane in front of you? It just distracts from the realizm. Checkout the official news release and in-game action in the Read More. - Chip

So, Recently i've been trying to make Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 usable for my grandmother who is "Computer Illiterate" I thought at first, i'd just use Kiba-Block, or a *ewwww* Mac OSX theme. Either way, I just didn't see it working for her. It's a tiny little sylvania Netbook, Teaching new things to old people, is there anything more challenging? Either way, I stumbled accross Gos, An operating system i still don't fully understand, but it appears to be a google-xp-ubuntu based OS...HOW!!!! I was trying to understand how someone could do it....It's been done, the new beta v.3.0 is really amazing, I had to run the iso (697mb) to a flash seeing as the netbook isn't big enough for a cd drive. Installed in about 10 minutes, run's, operates, easy setup, Vista like desktop gadgets, with the default 10gb hd in the Sylvania netbook, it took up 2k mb for the ENTIRE os...anyone noticed the vista default install (IE without using a preboot vlite edition) it's around 6-7 gb's...

Call of Duty: World at War is a lot like its predecessor, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. In most respects, this is a good thing. The guns are tightly tuned, the tone is gritty and mature, and the action is exciting and fast-paced. It boasts the same addictive multiplayer system as Modern Warfare, and even expands the multiplayer possibilities by allowing four players to play through the campaign cooperatively.

Popular World of Warcraft database site Wowhead has unveiled what it's claiming to be an official (and rather gigantic) Blizzard ad that reveals the official Wrath of the Lich King release date: Thursday, November 13. To celebrate, Wowhead is raffling off 10 beta keys. Though we know the expansion is due in Q4 2008,

While no official release date has been announced yet for Diablo 3, there has been much speculation to a potential “ball park” figure on the launch date for the much anticipated title. Needless to say, it’s going to be a big year with as many releases as blizzard has planned for the near future.
A recent leak from Blizzard’s parent company, Vivendi revealed that the newest World of Warcraft expansion is due sometime in the fall of 2008. In addition, Starcraft II is also due out around Christmas.

Well I spent a late night last night modifying our current theme into Clan Beowulf colors. As you may have noticed, the biggest flaw so far is the forums. I "thought" I changed the forum theme too, but um it's still light green. I'm sure that's a config file in the theme somewhere. More combing though code for me.
