free games, for the cost o' download

  • Ground Control: apparently to promote Ground Control 2, the first game is being given away, gratis. This won the Adrenaline Vault Seal of Excellence. (PC)
  • Tribes: Same deal as Ground Control; with a new game coming out, everything prior in the series is now up for grabs for free. (PC)
  • Castle Wolfenstein Enemy Territory: Based on the Quake3 engine, this is the standalone, multiplayer component of the lukewarm-received Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Some people swear it's the best multiplayer FPS around. I've been too focused on getting my demo-playing ass kicked in UT2k4 that I've not kicked this around the office yet. (PC and Linux)
  • Underworld: Movie-licensed, multiplayer shooter. (PC)
  • Sky Captain: Movie-licensed, somewhat rail-y flying shooter. (PC and Mac)
Update: Anandtech forum has this list of free games as well. (via Joystiq)

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
