Atari readying Unreal Tournament 2004 DVD edition: Hot on the heels of the dual successes of Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Tournament 2004: Special Edition, Atari has announced that it is releasing a DVD edition of the popular PC shooter. The primary advantage of the new version, which will be available starting tomorrow, is that it features the entire game on a single disc, versus the regular version's six CDs. It will also feature a second disc with extras, including several hours of video training modules that will show mod makers how to use the Unreal editor. The DVD edition will have the same retail price as the standard Unreal Tournament 2004--$39.99.
This announcement is reminiscent of when Myst first came out, and people bought CD-ROM drives for their machines just to play the game. True, anymore even bargain-basement PC's come with DVD drives, so this is the market catching up with available tech, rather than the market driving emergent tech, but it's nice to see it being taken advantage of for something other than fair-use disabled, region-limited movies.

Electronic music is buzzing from the nightclub across the street, mixing easily with the laughter of the guys who are watching this, this me-pinned-and-helpless thing. Francis isn’t laughing. He has turned on me, and I don’t know why. He’s going on and on about Panama City Beach, the spring break spot in northern Florida where Bay County sheriff’s deputies arrested him three years ago on charges of racketeering, drug trafficking and promoting the sexua...

cosplay of popular fast foods

ワンダーフェスティバル2006夏のコスプレ : I like seeing the detail and passion that goes into cosplay, but I like it more when people break away from the mainstream game and anime stuff, and start cosplaying their favorite snackfoods. Here is the head-only hanbañero pepper snack, with the rest of the performer’s body ignored by consensual agreement through the black costume of kabuki and bunraku scene handlers. Tonight he will visit you in your dreams. The Tarako kewpie baby also makes an appearance . ( Warning , page contains cosplayers, and some links to not-work-safe toys and models)
