USA 2 - Spain 0
http://thebiglead.com/?p=15204
If you remove the cold war element from the USA beating the USSR in hockey in the 1980 Olympics; todays upset of the Spanish is hands down the most impressive and improbably victory a US sporting team has ever had.
I know most of you are not soccer fans but man, the true unpredictability... [Read More] |

Jagged Alliance for NDS

- Filed by "Jack" |
got a score of 4.5 because of clumsy interface? Apparently it has been ported with no change to original gameplay and they give this gem a Poor score because of interface? Gamespot is officially on my retarded list...
Ok, now that I've tried the two Advance Wars games on an NDS emulator, coupled with the port of JA, I am getting NDS as soon as I can afford to... fuck yeah... I love nothing more than strategy portable games with huge replay value...

Bulldoze cities?
06.12.09
- Filed by "VAP" |
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/f...o-survive.html
There's talk about bulldozing cities to return the land to open space and reduce expenditure. I love the idea. I hate that the mindset has always been "more is better" instead of focusing on improving the quality of what we have when it comes to urban growth and... [Read More] |

Tazing a 72 year old woman
06.10.09
- Filed by "CowEyeball" |
So this is a big deal on Austin radio news stations this morning. An old lady acts up too much and gets tazed for it. Oh the controversy!
I think it's unfortunate that an old woman got tazed, but man, she was significantly uncooperative and bold. She even said "I dare you" at one point. If nothing else, the noises might make you laugh.

Regarding the Airbus A330-200
06.01.09
- Filed by "Kleptosis" |
So I'm sure most of you have seen the news about flight 447, the Airbus A330-200 that was lost somewhere in the Atlantic, between the coasts of Brazil and West Africa. It's likely that everyone was lost and Darfur babies were in most of the suitcases onboard the aircraft. My point is this...
I did a bit of research and looked into the only other reported crash of an A330. It turns out that it was... [Read More] |

Amazing Battle on the Ring
05.29.09
- Filed by "Kleptosis" |
This is a video of a one lap duel between a Porsche 997 GT3 and a Viper on the Nurburgring. It's quite apparent that the Viper driver REALLY knows where the edges of his car are and he also looks faaar ahead. The pressure put on the Porsche by the Viper is just insane. I'm equally amazed at the 911 driver's ability to stay in the zone with someone hounding him so relentlessly.

Sims SoUp Show - Submit Yourself Thread. Some of you know how this works. :) Please no posting comments in this thread. If you have any questions about the process please post it here.
One downside to doing this at games release is the lack of custom content available. Gonna suck without a vader or a skeletor. Oh well.... [Read More] |

Pentagon Preps Soldier Telepathy Push

I hope I'm not the only one who knows where this is heading?
Forget the battlefield radios, the combat PDAs or even infantry hand signals. When the soldiers of the future want to communicate, they’ll read each other’s minds.
At least, that’s the hope of researchers at the Pentagon’s mad-science division Darpa. The agency’s budget for the next fiscal year includes $4 million to start up a program called Silent Talk. The goal is to “allow user-to-user ... [Read More] |

Who doesn't know Star Trek. Some people may even get Star Wars and Star Trek mixed up. I've never done research, but I would guesstimate there are more trekers then star wars fans. That alone should give Star Trek Online a huge following of subscrips. But will it survive?
From everything thus far released about the game during its... [Read More] |

Hey 2dp mates,
I wanted to post up a video ("The Situation's Changed") that myself and couple good friends have put together. We have a small-ish video production company we're starting up (more they than I, I'm still day-jobbin' it while two of them are doing this full-time) called In The Car Media. This video was made for the 48 Hour Film Project (the Boston leg of it).
All writing, shooting and editing had to take place within 48 hours. The... [Read More] |

Media Wars

Ladies and Gentlemen of the 2darkpark, it is my humble pleasure to announce the genesis of a new era. My brother, whom some of you may remember as [PPP]Preston from the sig/reg/2dp days of yore, has been working hard on his latest plan to take over the world, and I am happy to say that at midnight last night, the shelf has been removed from beneath the bowling ball. What will happen next is up to the internets to decide. Do you have what it takes to be a media wars champion?

Duke Nukem Never?

Looks like 3D Realms is closing up some of their doors due to funding, etc. There is an update stating that Apogee is still 'alive'.....I find it hard to believe they would just scrap everything. George posted a few weeks ago that they only had a 50 or so tasks to complete (out of 900 or something) before they were done with the game.
