I told you I had some pics of the DS package we received the other day and here they are, but they are missing the 4 additional games we got:

Watch out HL2 Pirates

November 19, 2004

Apparently there was a Warez version of Half Life 2 released onto the BitTorrent network this week. While many people think they scored the new blockbuster game for free, what they don’t realize is that the files were put out there by none other than Vavle. Apparently Valve is tracking the users that use this hacked copy of the game and they will have their Steam accounts banned very very soon. It is always my suggestion to go buy the games you want because it supports our industry and quite frankly I frown upon theft.

Apparently the demo disc that comes with the Holiday 2004 issue of Playstation Underground has a Viewtiful Joe 2 demo. If you play this demo it will format your memory card. I repeat, do not play this disc.

National Treasure

November 19, 2004

Dots and I had the chance to catch this last night with part of the crew at a screening of sorts. While overall there were mixed thoughts on the movie, we both immensely enjoyed it. Dots is a big history buff and we have recently been reading all of Dan Brown’s books. Dan Brown is the author of The DaVinci Code which goes into a lot more detail about the Knights Templar and the treasure they are protecting. Just remember that while Brown’s books seem to be accurate and truly historical it is a fictional piece of work and should be treated that way. The Knights Templar are real though which should get some of you highly interrested in history.

If you like Dan Brown’s books then make sure you check out the movie and if you liked the movie then by all means pick up The DaVinci Code. If you haven’t seen or read either then do one or both.
