Stubbs Gets Steamed
Haven't played Wideload Games' debut effort, Stubbs the Zombie? Maybe you've never seen it in stores. Well, that's no longer an excuse; for $19.95 you can get a digital delivery of Stubbs via Steam.
Death by intelligence.

John Romero Is Batshit Crazy
Doing one of my regular turns around gaming news sites, I came across an interview with John Romero, of Doom and, dare I say it, Daikatana fame, now Founder/President of Slipgate Ironworks. You can find it over at Adrenaline Vault. Slipgate is supposedly working on a new MMO for the PC.
What I found interesting is this particular exchange:
3. Where is it all going? What do you see happening in the next five years and beyond?
JR: Right now MMOs, mobile and PC episodic are really polarizing into the newest most important segments in gaming. Next-gen console is big but its future isn’t too bright with the emergence of cheap PC multi-core processors and the big change the PC industry will go through during the next 5 years to accommodate the new multi-core-centric hardware designs. My prediction is that the game console in the vein of the PS3 and XBOX 360 is going to either undergo a massive rethink or go away altogether. The Wii has the perfect design for a console that doesn’t pretend to be a PC and is geared more toward casual gamers than hardcore gamers. The hardcore gamers are going to either be playing on their PCs or a new PC-like platform that sits in the living room but still serves the whole house over wifi, even the video signal.
This answer struck me as wrong in almost every important respect possible. Where it isn't wrong, it's self-contradictory. Let's take a closer look.
Remembrance
Ok.... Everybody has been saying that Remembrance, the Maw, and Ghosts of Reach are the same. I don't think so. I want sheet music for Remembrance from Halo 2 soundtrack Volume 2. If you still don't know what I'm talking about, go to this

Its a VERY pretty song and I would like to have it on music. Any response will be appreciated.

Remembrance
I was browsing through the Sheet music again when I realized..."Hey....theres no Remembrance!" Remembrance from the Halo 2 soundtrack (volume 2) was one of my FAVORITE songs. I just heard it not too long ago on an another site by "garbage-man" (I think that was his name) So the songs out there, I just can't find it. Could somebody direct me to sheet music for Piano or Orchestra for Remembrance? If nothing else, could somebody work on trying to make sheet music? Any response will be greatly appreciated!

Ex-Myth Developer Eats Own Parent
Russian Humorist Takes On Stubbs The Zombie
When we heard whispers to expect something "soon" from Wideload, I'm sure nobody had this in mind. Translator Dmitri "Goblin" Puchkov, responsible for many of the best quality dubs of Western movies and television programs into Russian, including some hilarious spoof dubs of films like Star Wars Episode One and Shmatrica, a parody of The Matrix, has turned his eyes to Stubbs the Zombie.
Project Magma Launches Myth Vault
Project Magma, the guys who keep Myth multiplayer alive and provide patches so the game keeps running on updated operating systems, have launched a new website, Myth Vault, intended to be a catch-all archive for Myth-related files, including films, artworks, and even maps.
