http://newsroom.intel.com/docs/DOC-2032 This should go here. Its about Intel's new 3D chip or whatever. It has the new transistor, which can be packed really tightly compared to conventional ones. And... use less power to do so. Really great for mobile devices.

I'M SCARED. Seriously, as I said in the status update... this game made me its bitch so many times.

He didn't walk out of there completely free... not when this (or the MOAB) was dropped on him as a farewell gift.

As far as the United State is concerned, they killed a founder and poster boy, Ronald McDonald (Osama). They captured mastermind of the 9/11 attack, Hamburglar (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed). Now they need to get the brains, Grimace (That one old guy, forgot his name...). Considering that the US mostly likely went in without Pakistani help... heh. What is to stop us from going into the Tribal Region of Pakistan? Then again, the brains, 2nd in command, might be walking and sleeping in Islamabad for all I know. Seriously, where Osama was is surprising as fuck. But yeah, Al Qaeda as an organization is loosely connected with many heads. Hopefully this is the start of separating the heads into separate bodies. Yeah, they can recover from this. Note "can". I don't care if they do. You can't have what-ifs stop you. Meh. If we ever take out the brains, hopefully we and the Afghan gov't can stabilize Afghanistan to the point that only outside threats are only of real concern. Somehow make it a West/East Berlin situation. It'll be a stalemate resulting one side to eventually giving up. Meh. Living in one of the best countries to live in sure have it perks but man, does it sucks when it comes to these things. Someday I'm just going to stop caring.

I actually heard that there was an attack on XBL when all this PSN shit was brewing. Not sure if it was real or whatever.

That is all. Yes, Osama is dead but that is that. Moving on to this gem.

I've been reading up on where this assault took place... a 5-stories mansion, which makes it one or the largest building in town. Take into account that the place is only sixty-something miles from the capital... it seems to point that at least some part of the government were hiding him. I think everyone was expecting him to be in the Tribal Region, not in such a large town/city. Pakistan got some explaining to do. However... Going off how Obama didn't mentioned Pakistani intelligence... I think. Did we go at this operation alone? We got some explaining to do as well. Chances are though, we'll never hear about it.

Osama should of died ten years ago. Hell, he almost did. Back then it would of made a difference in the war in Afghanistan. Now... eh. Prior to this news, it would of been a lot better to take him alive. Well, he's dead so nothing can be done about that... At least the person who headed all this is out of the picture. Maybe now we can finally pull out of Afghanistan... after an aggressive push to get the rest of the Al Qaeda leadership, along with a PR improvement on our part and the Afghanistan's government part. A year or two... maybe? Eh. I agree with the push into Afghanistan (Iraq, not at all) but man, this war got to end someday. Hearing and seeing about this war for almost half my life is tiring. This hopefully is a push into that direction.

I have yet to play Portal 2. Period. However, me getting Portal 2 has been solved so... soon. I just have to wait for my copy to get here. $20...

Us free folks are getting something? Why Sony... you don't have to got this far for us... well seriously, this is a pretty good move, I think. Maybe I will like PSN Plus...

PC doesn't since if I recall, TF2 on the 360 is stuck in the past. Main reason is that Microsoft wanted to charge for those updates. Then Valve said "No thank you" and walked away... and now seem to be kinda cozy with Sony.

So I heard that the DLC will be free on all platforms. When the hell did Microsoft and Sony bent over regarding free DLC? Well, maybe its cool with Sony since it has Steam for Portal 2 but Microsoft?

FYI, PC version is online only and it will shipping to you.

$30 on PC I'm eating that cake.

At least his can take one of his bones to be his boner...

Well, most people would be happy to be even have the ability to get into the press only events*. I heard that they can be pretty damn nice with some nice swag here and there. Though, those passes prices can be pretty damn steep. Anyways, I have uni work coming up in the fall, so no go for me. If only I was only in community college. *For example, the San Francisco thing I mentioned about. Press and gaming industry folks only. Plenty of indie folks if I recall.

Buy back the DB... oh sure. Not like you can't make copies. If people blast Sony for not taking the "deal"... I would would facepalm pretty damn hard. Besides, that rumor is going off a single tweet... As for the possible sale... and the issue with storing CCV codes. I know Sprint does it to make paying by phone faster. I won't be surprised if Sony stored it too. Now for the sale of the info, we'll see.

Geez, now I wished I at least had some writing/interviewing skill and the ability to commit. San Francisco isn't far from LA (E3), Seattle or Portland for PAX... and there was also this dev/award conference thing in San Francisco a few months back...

Going on to two week behind...
