The Long Road

05/01/2003 Archived Entry: "Coolness Elsewhere"

The Product: You’ll find there two 64Kb files, each a 3D demo with music, models and loads of textures. The demos are graphically impressive, not spectacular, but when you think about the fact that the files are 64 Kb(!), well, that should either inspire you, make you think “and what the heck am I doing in CS?”, or make you wet your pants. Download and be impressed.

Galactus: check out the journal of Galactus – The Devourer of Worlds, for some great humour. For those not in the know, Galactus is a cosmic entity in the Marvel Universe that – you guessed it – devours worlds.

The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect: A cool “novel” about two very different people getting together to decide the meaning of life and the fate of the Universe. Not light reading but highly recommended.

Free Comic Book Day: Also referred to as FCBD2, as per the popular “lets-acronymize-everything” mentality. On the day after X-Men 2 hits (or X2 *shudders*), that’s Saturday May 3rd, anyone can walk in to their local comic book shop and pick up some free samples. Follow the link to see what comics you’ll be able to grab. And if last year was of any indication, there should also be some great promotions going on at the same time. I recommend picking up “Way of the Rat”, “Leave it to Chance” and “Ultimate X-Men”. FOR FREE.

Added links to the websites of Melissa and Laura Ann to the list of people links on the left (or maybe right?)…this is a horrible sentence. There aren't enough girls with sites/journals!

.the .product impressed the heck out of me. I was just talking with Ryan about how Postal 2 is small for today's games, measuring in at a mere one CD. Then this comes out and reminds us what they could do if they really tried.
