Author’s comments: I’ve been waiting to do this run for quite a while, but never really had many good opportunities to put aside time to do it. Regardless, it’s a good thing I didn’t though due to recently discovered glitches that I used.
I always enjoyed playing video poker games, so I decided to try out some of the real poker and played online at Full Tilt poker. I started out playing the freeroll games with play money, just learning and getting my strategy right.
But after a while I got a bit tired of players just going all in because they weren’t worried about losing money – heh its only play money. It was good to learn how to play online poker, but after a while you realize this is not realistic because the players are over the top aggressive and don’t worry about losing money. In real life they would play differently because of the fear of losing chips.
So then I decided to go for the real games and I deposited some money. I just played at the low tables because I am still learning poker and I didn’t want to go broke. I did ok… at the end of the day I was fairly even… had some good hands, but also got some bad beats along the way. That’s poker for you!
Got a real surprise at the end of the month, when I signed up I went for the rakeback option, not realizing just how much money I could make back. Nice little surprise waiting for me in my account!
The real Ghostbusters return in this videogame sequel to the Ghostbusters movies. Stars Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray reunite to reprise their roles as Spengler, Stantz, Zeddmore and Venkman. Supporting the ghost busting crew are the talents of Annie Potts, Brian Doyle Murray and William Atherton.
With Manhattain newly overrun by ghosts and other supernatural creatures, it’s up to you to take on the role of a new recruit joining the original, famous Ghostbusters team. Equipped with a variety of unique weapons and gadgets, you will hunt, fight and capture a wide range of uncanny phantasms and demons in an all-new, funny and frightening battle to save New York City from its latest paranormal plague.
Alyssa Milano plays Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn, a Sumerian expert who visits New York City as the guest curator for the “World of Gozer” exhibition at the Natural History Museum.
As you might guess, the ghosts take a deep liking to Dr. Selwyn, so much so that she has to enlist the aid of the Ghostbusters and even go so far as to snuggle up close with Dr. Venkman, who immediately clings to her like she’s the second coming of Sigourney Weaver.
“June” is a machinima made with Half-Life 2 by Valve. I used three different versions of Garry’s Mod to make it: Garry’s Mod Eight v3b, Garry’s Mod 7a, and Garry’s Mod 7a (For CS). All scenes are from original HL2 or Counter-Strike: Source maps, except for one scene using DM_Greenhouse by ColdWontRise.
The music in “June” is by the wonderful group ISAN: visit their site at www.isan.co.uk. The song is from the album “Blue Skied An’ Clear” on the Morr Music label.

Not many people believed in this game at its announce, but it for sure won the competition. Dead Space embodies all the characteristics of an evolved survival horror, gender much loved by millions of people.
Are you ready to visit the mineral starship USG Ishimura?
I recently run through this and it was a really pleasant watching.
Rise of the Lilving Dead, Episode II (2005)
Clara’s Rise of the Living Dead trilogy continues, with the distinctive cinematography and use of sound effects and music characteristic of the series — now with voice acting, too. Like Clara’s other movies, this episode in the “Rise of the Living Dead” series was made in the “World of Warcraft” MMO.– HEL

The Wired’s 11th annual Vaporware Awards are the annual roundup of the tech industry’s biggest, brashest and most baffling unfulfilled promises.
Wired staff selected from readers’ submissions the top 10 products that were supposed to ship in 2008 but ended up delayed, derailed or otherwise rendered in absentia. Hardware, software, games and vehicles were all fair game. Beta releases count, but as in years past, we gave Gmail a pass — it’s branded “beta,” but it’s widely used by millions. Like “Google” and “Twitter,” “Gmail” has even become a verb.
A surprisingly high percentage of last year’s winners actually shipped this year (Chinese Democracy, the Tesla Roadster and the world’s most expensive and useless keyboard among them), clearing the decks for a whole new stack of suckage.
So here it is: Vaporware 2008. Prepare to taste the waste.
10. Sony PlayStation Home
Screenshoot
Sony’s virtual world for PlayStation 3 users, Home, earns a top slot, even though the service finally launched as an open beta in early December. But beta ain’t shrinkwrapped — so it’s fair game.
Home was originally announced in March 2007, but was repeatedly sidelined. And now that it’s kinda here, it’s woefully incomplete. Promised features like video sharing are absent, Sony has removed voice chat until further notice, and users from different countries can’t interact with one another — a major problem for an international platform.
Home doesn’t even succeed as a Second Life rip-off, owing to the fact that there simply isn’t much to do. You can walk around in the mall and spend real money on virtual clothes branded with advertisements, or you can hang out at the bowling alley and play crappy video games. That’s about it. Even the avatar creation system is incredibly scaled-down.
Sony keeps promising Home will get more features later, relying on the “it’s only a beta” line whenever somebody points out that it is a completely useless piece of crap that no one would ever use.
