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)

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...

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.
