Hello Everyone! Jake here. I’m currently working on an entirely 3D game written in C# and using the XNA framework. This is of course a daunting task and I’m beginning to feel I’ll need more eyes on the code than just mine. So if you’re just starting your first program or an experienced programmer with years under your belt and want to try your hand at coding a game, send me an email.
If you would rather make models, skins, textures, documentation, something I missed and you think it’s needed in a game, contact me! One goal of this project: If you create something with the intention of putting it in this game, I’ll try my hardest to implement it in some way shape or form, with proper credit given where it is deserved!

Having played and quite enjoyed the first Call of Juarez game, I was very excited for this upcoming title. Usually I’m not a huge fan of prequels. A game’s story has to be very intriguing or mysterious for a prequel to be warranted in my mind, but it was coming whether I wanted it to or not. So, it was time to strap on the gun belt and walk amongst the tumbleweeds.

FYI: If you’re still running the Windows 7 Beta, you should probably hurry up and upgrade to the RC because starting today, July 1st, Microsoft will start shutting down betas every 2 hours.
On a similar note, next March, on the 1st, they will begin shutting down the RCs.

To be honest, we weren’t expecting a whole lot from the FPSFreek attachment, even after hearing such rave reviews of KontrolFreek’s products from others in the Tech Olive staff. However, after opening the packet and putting them on, it was like a whole other experience, one that had good points as well as bad.

When we began testing, we didn’t expect to notice a difference with the SpeedFreek right away, but we did. During our first lap around the track with these attached to the controllers, the change was clearly noticeable and the change was good. Sure, the changes weren’t monumental, but being able to adjust the car’s steering much more precisely than if we had just been using the bare thumbsticks was sweet. The SpeedFreek attachments really improve response and precision, even within the first 5 minutes of using them. It does seem a bit needless that you get two attachments, one for each stick, because you generally only use one thumbstick for steering, but it’s nice to have the two, even if you only use one.

Not too long after the much-publicized trial against TPB’s owners, they have now announced that the website and everything attached have been sold to Global Gaming Factory X (a company known for operating gaming and internet cafes in Sweden). Hans Pandeya, the CEO of Global Gaming Factory X commented on the deal.
“The Pirate Bay is a site that is among the top 100 most visited Internet sites in the world. However, in order to live on, The Pirate Bay requires a new business model, which satisfies the requirements and needs of all parties, content providers, broadband operators, end users, and the judiciary. Content creators and providers need to control their content and get paid for it. File sharers need faster downloads and better quality. “
So it’s hard to tell for sure, but does this mean TPB is going legit? Will one of, if not the, most well known and largest torrent sites be bought out for $8 million dollars (the price of the deal)? I think it’s safe to say that TPB will soon fall off the face of the earth internet. The original boys at TPB had this to say on their blog.
If the new owners will screw around with the site, nobody will keep using it. That’s the biggest insurance one can have that the site will be run in the way that we all want to. And – you can now not only share files, but share with people. Everybody can indeed be the owner of The Pirate Bay now. That’s awesome and will take the heat of us.The old crew is still around in different ways. We will also not stop being active in the politics of the internets – quite the opposite. Now we’re fueling up for going into the next gear. TPB will have economical muscles to let people evolve it. It will team up with great technicians to evolve the protocols. And we, the people interested in more than just technology, will have the time to focus on that. It’s win-win-win.

With the recent hype being of a famed celebrities’ death, we felt that it would be good to pay tribute to the king of pop and give a good solid review of his often overlooked game. Yes, he’s had a few incidents in his life that we feel shouldn’t be mentioned, but we’re here to show the good side of Micheal Jackson and his game, Moonwalker.
