Read down the page a bit and find the real shocker, " the researchers showed that the device had a storage capacity as high as 1 terabyte per square inch (a trillion bits of information) and temperature-stability in excess of one billion years." We owe this and many miricles to come to our little friend C60 (buckyball). In the future we are all going to be rich and this period will be thought of as the global dark age resulting from greedy confused parasites in every level of government. http://www.physorg.com/news162061022.html
A good zombie apocalypse isn’t far away of you have Left 4 Dead 2 on the Xbox 360. The game has been ramped up with new monsters and weapons and still keeps its addictive game play. Blasting thousands of zombies is even more fun now that you can pull a sword, chainsaw, or other hand to hand weapon and start swinging. I also enjoy playing on the 360. I have Left4Dead on the PC. It’s nice to play on the 360 and have voice so you can call your team mates to your aid using the voice on Xbox live. You will need to be part of a team in Left4Dead2 as there are many monsters that, once they get a hold of you, won’t let go until a team member deals with them. The other neat thing about the game is as you get better you will learn to not shoot your team mates. I may not shoot the most zombies but I always have the fewest number of times shooting people on the team. If you are looking for an action packed shooter and want to be part of a team this is a great place to go. I almost forgot the action is bloody and super violent.
The Eastern Front is going to achieve what so many RTS players have been yearning for so many years: The integration of the Soviet Union into Company of Heroes.
First of all, do not worry. EF is not going to harm your normal CoH in any way, you can still play it normally. Also, it does not overwrite any of the exisiting factions. It will add the new factions, and you can still play with the old ones as well.
Our goal is the integration of the Red Army and the Ostheer into CoH. Complete with new models, skins, sounds, buildings, tech trees and maps.
We have already come a long, difficult way. Modding CoH is not easy. But we have an ambitious team of crack modders and we have taken all the hurdles. And now, two and a half years after our very first idea for this mod, we are close to making our initial release.

Take your Sims on the adventure of their lives with The Sims 3 World Adventures. Explore Egypt, China, and France thwarting danger and finding glory on your Sims search for treasure and rewards.
I’ve included Sims 3 World Adventures screens, character profiles, images of the Sims 3 and Sims 3 World Adventures box art and information about the game below including the new features.
The new WAR endless free trial replaces the original 10-day time-limited trial program, and gives new and returning players the opportunity to create and play any of the 24 different careers to find their perfect character match for use during extended gameplay if they purchase the game and/or subscribe. The endless free trial limits players to progress through character level 10 as they explore the tier one Empire vs. Chaos zones of Nordland and Norsca. In addition, players can explore the newly added tier one dungeon, Hunter’s Vale, or battle other players in the instanced scenarios Nordenwatch, Khaine’s Embrace and Gates of Ekrund.
Endless free trial players will embark on the recently introduced New User Journey, which features enhanced tutorials and new community elements, such as a “new player” guild, to streamline the transition of new players into WAR and its vibrant community of players.
“With the introduction of the endless free trial and streaming client, we are making it easier than ever for a new player to join the WAR,” said Jeff Hickman, executive producer, Mythic Entertainment. “We’ve worked hard to create a more informative and community driven new user experience, and now we are giving players an unlimited amount of time to explore the early parts of the game at their own pace. We are confident that players new and old will find all the enhancements we’ve made to WAR over the past year worthy of their time and commitment.”
Available now, the new streaming endless trial client is a seamless way for new users to get into the game. After an initial download of just over 1GB, additional content streams in the background as required while playing. All closed 10-day free trial accounts have been converted to open endless free trial accounts and are ready for returning players to resume their journeys across the frontlines of WAR.
I just opened the box on Dragon age and I got the game up and running. Looks like my Company of Heroes Tales of Valor addiction is going to be taking a backseat to Dragon Age for a while. The game is playing just like an MMO RPG with the exception that you control all the players in your party. You’re allowed to queue up one command per character and then unpause the game in combat. The game graphics are as good as Mass Effect and there is a lot of blood. I see a lot of similarity between Mass Effect and Dragon Age so far in game play and that is a good thing. Is it a must buy? If you’re into RPG’s you’re going to enjoy it for sure. I have only scratched the surface of the game so I will let you know how it goes.
Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you’re alive. If you don’t claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned... Tyler.

Being a Gamer is an expensive undertaking and with the world in financial turmoil every buck makes a difference. I purchased a 22” IZ3D monitor to play games in 3D and it really does the job right. Well the other day the monitor went into a spin and stopped working. I went in to a panic had to jump on my Ubuntu computer to play Dungeons and Dragons online. After emailing tech support at IZ3D we found out I was just out of warranty. That figures as everything these days breaks two seconds after the warranty is over. They decided to replace it anyway! I have to give these guys five stars on their tech support. They could have left me drifting in the wind. Many corporations are so money hungry and profit driven they forget their own customers in the race to be the biggest rat. IZ3D leaves me with the feeling they care about their customers. When I encounter a company with integrity that cares I have to write about it. If you read the companies forums you will find out it’s not just me that loves their support department. Many large corporations could learn from IZ3D. I will be supporting them in the future.

Do you play MMO’s and type a lot in the dark? I remember many a late night playing any number of MMO’s and not being able to see the keyboard because I had the lights turned down. Enter the G15 Logitech keyboard. One of Logitech’s line of gamer keyboards in the G series the G15 features programmable buttons, a LCD and light up keys on the keyboard.
My experience with this keyboard started several months ago and I am very pleased to report it was worth the money I spent on it. It really lights up the keys and though I don’t look for a key very often I can find the one I need when I need it. The best thing about the keyboard is the light up keys because each key lights up. I won another light up keyboard in a contest and it lights up between the keys. It makes it so hard to see the keys it really makes it harder to find a key in low light conditions.
I have to say now I have never used the programmable buttons. I suppose I could map some emotes to them but then I would have to remember which is which and I just don’t have the drive to use them. I suppose they could be removed and I wouldn’t even notice. The LCD is cool and auto switches to the function your using at the time. If I were to control the sound on the keyboard it switches the volume level and I can see how much volume is set. If you are playing a game it has stats from that game displayed. Pretty useful as many of the games I play are supported. Another useful feature is the windows key on/off function. If you hit the windows key while playing a game you know you go back to windows. Not with the G15 as you can turn off the windows key!
The keyboard also has three levels of backlight so you can turn off the backlight if you want to scan your system and go the bed and leave the computer running.
I am giving the G15 five stars as it’s a useful item and I like its features. It also makes you look smarter when typing to your MMO players so that is always good.

titanic clash between hippopotamuses, a pride of lions watching over its playful cubs, and a cheetah's lightning-fast chase as it runs down its prey! All of the game's animals and environments are rendered in photorealistic detail with animals that move, behave, and interact with each other just like their real-world counterparts. Produced in cooperation with National Geographic, Afrika features a wealth of information about each of its animals, including footage and photographs from the magazine. The photography in the game is as meticulously modeled as the animals themselves; players will need to learn from the game's innovative photo grading system and compose their photographs with the eye of a professional photographer if they want to earn top dollar. The money they earn can be used to purchase new licensed lenses, cameras, and safari equipment. If players are good enough, they just might find their photograph on the cover of National Geographic!
With more than 70 animals to find, over 100 missions to complete, and endless replayability, Afrika offers the safari experience of a lifetime!
