More fuel for the Matrix debate: A fanboy site posts the Niobe and Oracle conversation from Enter the Matrix. It might explain a few things, or it might not.

Prepare for Sturmangriff.
After three-some-odd years of beta testing, my FPS of choice, Day of Defeat 1.0, is now available for download. There went my weekend.
The Few, The Proud, The Plane Campers.
It’s probably a strange time in world affairs for a link like this, but nevertheless, these FPS propaganda posters cracked me up. Battlefield 1942 players will find them especially on point.
Wasted!
Dave Chappelle previews Grand Theft Auto 4, and the graphics are definitely a step up.
Six Degrees of Footloose.
Test your who-starred-in-what-movie knowledge with Cinema Sequence…I gotta say, this is the most time-consuming link to come down the pike in awhile. Finally, an outlet for all the useless film trivia I’ve accumulated over the years…I just wish they’d turn this into a game show. (Thanks much to Listen Missy.)
Move out and stay low!
Speaking of social warfare, FPS privates take note: The 1.3 patch for Battlefield 1942 is now online, featuring, among other tweaks, faster loading maps and quicker sniper reloads (the latter being the only major gaming area in which Day of Defeat is still definitively superior.) And it’s almost time to take the road to Rome…
Greetings from Vice City.
As I suspected, ever since last Tuesday GTA: VC has been seriously undermining my attempts to get anything of purpose done. But I just finished the main narrative arc of the game, leaving only the side missions, rampages, and such, so I might now be able to wrench my life back. Fortunately, Columbia students get the Monday and Tuesday of Election Week off, so I still have time to catch up on all the research I should’ve been doing over the weekend. At any rate, if you love GTA 3, you’ll love GTA: VC. It’s the same…but different.
Livin’ in the 80’s.
If you’re one of the many gamers out there avidly awaiting Grand Theft Auto Vice City in eight days, the official site has some interesting stuff up, including a radio station preview and Kent Paul’s Nostalgia Site. Looks like we’ll be hearing more from both Lazlo and Fernando Martinez on the 29th.
Paging Michael Mann.
It’s Vice City baby. What GTA3 did to my summer, this one’s gonna do to my winter…anyone know any good preventative measures for carpal tunnel?
So much for Kid Icarus.
In an attempt to stop online gambling, all computer games have been banned in Greece. (Via Pigs and Fishes.) Ah, Greece, where they put you in jail for Tetris and give you a medal for Table Tennis.
