Where PC Gamers Come For “Active” News

Since there is some demand for the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Fan Pack, or Gift Pack as it is sometimes referred to, I am placing it up on my downloads website for download.  This Map Pack contains the NEW 3 maps, Calypso Casino, Murdertown-Dark, and CQB-Training-Dark.  It is encased in a zipped folder so you will need a program to unzip the file.  The file is a self-extrating exe file, which will place all required files where they belong.  Thank You for your patience, and excuse me for the download speed, because it will be around 380 kbs/sec rate.  Can’t afford a faster bandwidth server.

Let’s make one thing clear: Project Origin–a first-person shooter from publisher Warner Brothers Interactive getting ready for release later this October–is the real follow-up to 2005’s ‘F.E.A.R.’. In fact, Project Origin starts approximately 30 minutes before the ending of its predecessor. It’s being developed by Monolith Productions, the same studio that developed ‘F.E.A.R.’, and will utilize all the same narrative elements and characters. The only thing it doesn’t have is the recognizable name, as the ‘F.E.A.R.’ label is still property of Vivendi Games (formerly Vivendi Universal Games), which worked with Monolith back in 2005.

Attention on Deck!

“In popular culture, no machine of war comes to matching the mystery and allure of the submarine. For thousands of years men have breached the barrier between surf and shore with craft that plowed through the waves, but never below them. As ships progressed from rafts and canoes to triremes and galleons, to steamboats and dreadnoughts, all nautical invention and history were still literally scratching the surface. The submarine is the sole and true master of the sea”

Let’s Put to Sea Crew!

There are many areas of this collection of short stories I really enjoyed. In only a couple of areas where it fell a little short of my expectations. However in saying that, I must state in defense of the Almanac the positives by far outweigh the negatives by leaps and bounds concerning the content of this fine piece of literature. And as embarrassing as it is to admit, I have not read a book cover-to-cover in over ten years - until this one. This paperback was pure enjoyment the whole way through. When I ventured from one story to the next, it seemed to some extent appeared that the next story was always a little bit superior to the previous one just completed.

When you open the 2008 Submarine Almanac, you will discover that the stories range from fun-loving fiction to serious naval experiences to an actual diary which was kept by a World War I German U-boat commander. Several real-life veterans, including actual sub commanders of the submarine services in the U.S. Navy from the Cold War era and beyond make appearances. They deliver their experiences from their undersea careers. And the stories themselves seem to actually either transport you onto the deck of a sub or into the situation that is described by the author. It makes you feel you are witnessing each story as it happens and drives you to read further and further on for the next smile or chuckle that many of the stories provide the reader.

Community manager doesn’t really talk about the upcoming COD4 map pack inside

Infinity community manager, Robert Bowling, has been caught red-handed talking about the highly anticipated Call of Duty 4 map pack. Unfortunately he didn’t really reveal much. We’re guessing Activision is saving all that up to make some big announcement soon.

Speaking to Destructoid, Bowling said, “People who want open maps are going to be happy with this map pack. People who want more indoor locales are going to be happy with this map pack. People who want something completely different from what they’re currently playing are going to be happy with this map pack.”

People who actually want some official, confirmed details to chew on aren’t going to be very happy, we say.

But it looks like Infinity will be supporting the game for a while yet, or at least until the next one comes out.

“We plan on supporting our game for a very long time. We’re currently number one on Xbox Live, so we have a lot of people playing. So we’re going to continue to support the community that keeps supporting us. We have a lot of cool ideas that we’re working on, and we’re going to keep making maps until we’re done.”
