…approximately 600 million computers are connected to the Internet, and 150 million of them might be participants in a botnet—nearly all of them unwilling victims. Weber remarks that “in most cases the owners of these computers have not the slightest idea what their little beige friend in the study is up to.”

Gears of War - Xbox360

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

A Metacritic score of 94% makes Gears of War by Epic Games the top ranked Xbox360 game.

It also received 94% from IGN who said: “…the solid AI is performing flanking maneuvers, advancing and retreating, and executing the very basics of armed combat. As you are ducking behind a tree, waiting for an enemy to reload, it’s not hard to imagine that the idea for Gears and its cover system was born in the heat of a paintball game.”

Watch the the excellent trailer featuring a haunting “Gary Jules” cover of the “Tears for Fears” song “Mad World” which was originally used in the film “Donnie Darko”:


“No tomorrow, no tomorrow,
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had”
