Hot on the coat tails of Dude101's novel release, CT Phipps asks us to post about his new book: Cthulhu Armageddon. As the name implies, it's a mix up of two genres which are beloved by our community: post-apocalyptic sci-fi and Lovecraftian horror. A small snippet of text is available on...

NMA has never lacked writing talent, in the form of games, mods and stories. However, it is rather rare for our members to release a novel. Dude101 gave it a shot and how now been published. If you like dark stories wedged in between 1984 and Brave New World, give it a shot and let us know what...

Surely this is a hoax?

Someone I know is looking for what he believes to be old Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel artwork. He describes it as: Anyone able to help out?

I haven't played many space sims in the past years & most of them that I did play, played well with keyboard and mouse. Heck, nowadays many of the space sims have a large advantage for mouse players due to the finer aim & no need for autoaim. But I remember from the old days, how much fun I...

http://www.wired.com/politics/security/magazine/17-10/mf_deadhand?currentPage=all The Soviets built a doomsday machine, and forgot to mention that to the US. How very Strangelovish... The most remarkable thing about it though, is that they built it mostly to prevent fellow Russians from...

I was in the mood for a good space flight sim, but realised that I really had no clue what's considered decent nowadays. The last I bought was an arcade-y Darkstar One, but that wasn't very good. The last spacesim that I really remember fondly was Tachyon: The Fringe, but I'd like something a...

Watch: http://www.cnn.com/video/?JSONLINK=/video/tech/2009/06/12/dnt.wa.paper.water.bottle.king Now Tetra Pak / Tetra Laval might take offense to this, since what the kid actually did was test several existing packaging methods and chose Tetra Pak's solution as being the best. (one might...

Looks like the EU commission is investigating if they should impose a 2 year guarantee period on games. Of course, such guarantee could be exploited since no piece of software released today is bugless. What's most funny though, is that one argument raised against the proposal by Business...

Last year, due to circumstances at work, I didn't take up any vacation myself (got a few days around X-mas though, since the company is closed then anyway). But anyhow, I wanted to start planning my holidays for this year, but I couldn't come up with anything worthwhile. I've been to most of...

I recently acquired a netbook/tablet and I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make old games, such as Fallout 1 & 2 touchscreen compatible. I guess this would need logic changes in the way mouse cursors are handled within the game itself (as well as calibration) and I presume that...

Since I've already fouled up another topic with posts about this, I thought I might as well get it a seperate post here on its own. I'm currently looking for a netbook. I'm kinda sick of lugging around my fullsized laptop on the motorcycle (and/or train). I'm getting a new one at work soon...

Firefox 3.0 has been up for download now for about an hour. The webpage is totally hammered, so don't expect any surfing to it atm. :) But for those wanting to download it, here's a direct link: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-GB Be warned however, even...

These are all old vids, but I thought I'd share anyway. Maybe it'll give Carib some ideas? :P Royal Dragoon Guards in Iraq (Amarillo) HMS Campbelltown doing the Royal Navy's version of the Bohemian Rhapsody The Kosovo Song Anyone else have examples? Post away! edit: Damn it, I lost...

Exoskeleton & powerarmor. neato! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=109_1195663753 either way, it's neat, but until the power requirements are straigthened out, it's still just a bigass toy with way too low autonomy to be of any use on the battlefield. makes you wonder how long it'll be...

You can now buy Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines from Steam for 9.95 USD. So for those few people who couldn't find a cheap boxed game, you can get it off Steam at 50% off til the 5th of Nov. Great game, but don't forget to patch!

appearantly the men in white coats have invented a betavoltaic cell battery which should be able to power a laptop for 30 years & be no bigger than a modern battery. they're saying it'll be commercialised in about 2 to 3 years. it is supposedly harmless, but pardon me for being skeptical...
