2 Videos I made, nothing special.

The first is a video of me killing the 2 Antlion Guards in Half - Life 2: Episode 2.



The second is just a short montage of me killing a few in Team Fortress 2.



I'd like to thank Valve for making such amazing games. I just can't wait for EPISODE 3!

Top Gear - Series 14 - Episode 2

Jeremy, Richard and James attempt to save the planet by building their own electric car, and then put their latest 'green' creation through the rigours of the new car testing process.

Meanwhile on the track, the battle of the continents, as Europe takes on the USA and Jeremy pits the Corvette ZR1's muscle against the finesse of Audi's R8 V10.

The Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Hollywood's hottest new property, Frost/Nixon and Damned United star Michael Sheen.

Top Gear - Series 14 - Episode 1

This episode was an hilarious one as usual, James, Richard and Jeremy each had a car and these were the Aston DBS Volante a Ferrari California and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. With these cars, they had a trip to Romania to find what most hardcore drivers claim to be the greatest road in the world.

The star in the reasonably priced car is Star Trek, Troy and Hulk star Eric Bana.

My favorite parts was with the toilet seat and James' car. Nuff said.

Enjoy.

Confirmed: EA Closes Pandemic Studios, Says Brand Will Live On

Early this morning we broke the news that Electronic Arts planned to close down Pandemic Studios, laying off 200. Now we have confirmation.

An internal Electronic Arts memo confirms that Pandemic Studios was shut down today with a "core IP team" being moved to Electronic Arts' Los Angeles office. Among those let go were the studio's top three employees: Andrew Goldman, formerly the studio's CEO; Josh Resnick, formerly the studios president; and Greg Borrud, vice president of product development.

Q&A with DICE - Frostbite Engine & DirectX® 11

Found some interesting information about DirectX 11 and The Frostbite Engine that have been described in detail by DICE. It looks like DirectX 11 will be taking off a lot better than what DirectX 10 did.

Here's a couple of videos of Dirt 2 in DirectX 11.

Half - Life 2 Cinematic Mod.

I love seeing how you can improve the visual, sound etc for games. I came across this one for Half - Life 2 called Cinematic Mod and it's truly amazing how much detail has been put into it. HL2/Source Engine always has suffered from low res textures, however, this mod can fix that.

Official Website

It features the following:

- Raise the quite outdated graphical appearance to a state-of-the-art level

- Give the HL2 trilogy a more stressed, darker and minatory look

- Complement the atmosphere with a emotional cinematic music soundtrack, that fits the action on the screen

- Replace the low-resolution textures with high resolution counterparts and more detailed environments (hires melons!)

- Complement the storyline with the unused content from the original games

- Refresh the look and feel with optional new HD models

- Add more replay-value
