I’m already listening to music, so shut the fuck up. Thanks.

Today I feel like bashing flash.
While it’s not exactly flash that I want to bash but more a behavior that is popular mostly among websites made exclusively with flash.
So to all web developers/designers/clients or marketing zealots who happens to be web inept: PLEASE don’t put auto-starting music on your site.
It’s a sure way to piss off your visitors because:
- your music choice most likely sucks, if not, it will be outdated soon enough.
- even if you put a bloody stop button you have to find it in the page, after you found which tab is vomiting the audio shit.
- even if we click the said stop button, most flash developers obviously don’t have a clue of what cookies are and we have to re-click stop after each page load.
- if your visitors want to listen music they will listen their mp3, your site is not a jukebox. In fact they most likely already are listening music and yours is only mixing with it, creating an unbearable and unwanted musical chaos.
- except maybe if you’re a band or something like it, it wont help to pass your message or sell your product. It will only bug your visitors to death. If it’s the case, don’t ever auto-start it.
So please, leave our sound cards and speakers alone. We don’t want to hear your cheap audio loops and elevator music.
Damn that felt good

Beware: Arma 2
Posted by | Posted in Gaming | Posted on 06-30-2009
Our most recent post mentioned the release of the Arma 2 demo. Well, we have had “the pleasure”, and now feel compelled to warn you that unless you are running the latest and greatest, you had better be prepared to run on low-ish settings. My rig is nowhere near top of the line, but is still very competent as far as gaming computers go, and wasn’t able to handle it with smooth FPS on medium settings during a big firefight.
My specs:
- E8400 core2duo @ 3.0ghz (stock clock)
- 4 gb Kingston 800mhz DDR2
- BFG 8800GT OC’d (from the factory)
- Vista Home Basic 32 bit
- 1680×1050 resolution
Arma 2 demo released

We should have posted about this sooner, but were having a slight technical complication 
Weighing in at 2.42 gigs, you would expect this demo to come with a lot of content. It doesn’t disappoint.
“The eagerly anticipated demo for the sandbox PC military shooter smash hit of 2009, ARMA II, is released and available for all who want to visit the republic of Chernarus and enjoy all of the fantastic features of this monumental war simulator. Do you want to fight eye to eye with enemies on the lush, open battlefield, do you want to take advantage by strafing enemy position in aircraft, do you want to crush enemy lines in a tank? Then download the demo and get a taste of what it takes to be a soldier in a modern warfare conflict!”

The demo is also available on Steam. This is how we suggest downloading this demo.
Arma II demo postponed

Official statement from the Arma II Team:
“I am pleased to confirm that we are planing to launch the ARMA II Demo soon (however, it may not be this week as was previously expected). The demo will feature a lot of content for singleplayer, multiplayer and also mission editing and will be 2+ GB large due to amount of content we decided to include. More information on the exact release plan and demo content will follow in coming days.”
Unfortunate. We will post back as soon as we hear more.
