The Prey demo is out. Do you remember Prey? It’s a game that’s been in development almost as long as Duke Nukem Forever. It’s expected out around July. Here are some screen shots from the demo:

It’s a lot of fun. More fun than I have had with a fps in a long time. Prey has more than a little of that Duke Nukem feel to the game, which is not a bad thing. The use of portals and gravity make this one unique. It was a little weird to see yourself through a portal the first time. It’s been a long time that a demo has influenced my purchases. I’m looking forward to this getting in stores.

Was going to “blog” about this but decided it was another time to post a Gawain chat log:

[01:33] Gawain: what up?
[01:33] *** Auto-response sent to Gawain: Yeah I’m playing Dark Age of Camelot at work! You think those assholes pay me enough to do work?
[01:34] Turk: hey
[01:34] Turk: I had a drunk I called the cops on
[01:35] Turk: guy just looked fucking odd
[01:35] Turk: set off my spidey sense
[01:35] Gawain: lol
[01:35] Turk: turns out the guy was like drunk I’m going to die drunk
[01:35] Gawain: nightauditey sense?
[01:35] Turk: yeah
[01:35] Turk: so I may have saved the guys life
[01:35] Turk: plus the dumb fuck had a warrant
[01:36] Turk: so the moral of this story is don’t call the night auditor 5-10 times in a 2 minute time period

Honestly folks if you have a warrant out on yourself try not to annoy the disgruntled night audit guy. Because when you call down six times and the first time you worry about being a pain in the ass and the audit guy say no of course your not a pain in the ass. Well guess what? You are a pain in the ass.

This was to funny to not post about. I was doing the first set of Champion Quests for my cleric. I got to the second part where flying demons were supposed to attack and saw this:

I’m sure the horse was a bug. It was just one of those things that made me stop playing for a second and stare in glee. And believe me that doesn’t happen often in Dark Age of Camelot anymore.

Honestly this is beyond fucking insane:

WWE® BRINGS ECW® TO SCI FI CHANNEL

New York, N.Y., May 25, 2006 – SCI FI Channel announced that World Wrestling Entertainment®, the producer of the No. 1 weekly basic cable TV series, Monday Night RAW on USA Network, will debut a summer series on Tuesday, June 13, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling®) will be an alternative brand of wrestling suited to fit the SCI FI Channel’s commitment to fuel the imagination.

“Research tells us that there’s a healthy appetite for wrestling among SCI FI viewers,” said Bonnie Hammer, President, USA and SCI FI Channel. “With ECW, we’re able to deliver to those fans unique action with a twist that’s perfect for SCI FI.”

ECW on SCI FI will push the boundaries of sports entertainment in new and unexpected ways,? said Vince McMahon, Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment.

I wish I was making this shit up. This has anything to do with Science Fiction?

Once again the SA Forum sums it up:

Fuck them. Seriously. Fuck them with a goddamn rusty jackhammer coated with shards of glass and cheap crack cocaine. “Professional wrestling” is bad enough, but the particularly low-brow sluts, blood, and barbed wire style of show is especially repugnant. There’s no connection to Science Fiction even remotely. The only possible correlation is that both groups of fans are 18-30 year old single males.

Amen!

Those British lads at the Something Awful Forum are indicating this new episode of Doctor Who is very bad:

I’m in the process of downloading it right now. The SA goons are usually right on the money about this stuff. I’m really beginning to loose hope for the future of Doctor Who.

Edit
So it was really fucking bad. So bad it made you want to just shut it off. Once again one of the SA Forum goons sums it up best:

You know, this wouldn’t have been that terrible as an edition of Confidential, or something I could ignore like the Attack of the Grask or whatever. But it was an official episode of the show. Part clip show, part side story, part fan fiction. All rolled up together in a gigantic ball of extreme suck by that fat, narcissistic, pop-media manwhore, that ignorant, demented, brainless, pile of catfucking shit, Russell T. Davies.

At this point it really does seem like Davies has become the Berman and Bragga of Doctor Who. So sad.

I’m playing Dark Age of Camelot still. So last time I wrote about DAoC I was a dirty Mid like Gawain. Well I’ve jumped ship and deleted my two mids. I’m now an Alb again:

Which was something I didn’t want to do. Not really at least. Believe or not I miss my dirty mids. But as much as I hate starting over there is no way I’m deleting again to go back to the Mid side of Lamorak. I still miss my horse.

Good riddance Rose:

Billie Piper says: “Rose and I have gone on the most incredible journey with Russell T Davies and the cast and crew of Doctor Who over the past two years.

“It has been an amazing adventure, and I can confirm it comes to an end, for now at least, as series two climaxes.

Honestly now if this means no more Jackie Tyler as well I’ll be happy as can be. Rose and her mum have got to be the worst thing about the new Doctor Who. It’s almost as if these two bitches have become the center focus. Now Doctor Who can get back to the way it used to be.
