Back when there was more than 1 search engine and each engine tried to compete for users they used to add quirky little features. One of my favorites was when one of them added a downloadable ticker that scrolled each search term that was being searched for. It became apparent very quickly that there was sick motherfuckers out there that didn’t realize their searches are not only being recorded but broadcast to anyone who wanted to see them. But once Google took over the world searching became boring again…albeit it reliable. Well, Google does have a similar analytical feature, check it out. For instance, the word Hostile isn’t overly common except in our circles. Well, it’s pretty popular in Iraq. The US and Canada come in 2nd and 3rd. The term Hostile Takeover however is business orientated so the highest levels of interest come from the USA, India and…Finland?! Meanwhile, Team Fortress is a popular Australian-made mod that is now huge in North America right? Nope. All of the Russian provinces are the ones who top the charts with Canada the only North American in at 10th.Those Russkies must love their cell shadings.

If you’ve been paying attention to the Forums then you will know about how you can play MMO’s for free on shard style servers. While this is a nice option for people most still want to play on the over populated official servers. Can you believe that people still play Everquest 1 and 2 and pay for it?! In fact, Sony has just announced new expansions for both games. Unbelievable.

With the advent of flash formats for video nowadays we’ve seen a new media takeover the internet. YouTube is one of the largest websites of all time and nowadays you’ll find people will even upload songs to YouTube with no actual video attached. You’ll even run into songs you want that only end up here! Well, now you’re able to rip MP3’s directly from the flash format using this site.

This is pretty much the only thing left to do in Age of Conan.

That’s right it’s time for football!! This month is all exhibition games but that also means all the football drafts are going on. Yup, the one draft more important than being drafted to fight for your country you better have all your pre-rankings ready to go! We’ve already drafted for the QWTF League and the FiaB League run by [Ht]Valence, which occurred today. Both of which I had the 1st overall pick in (praying does work!) We’ve still got one more big one on August 31st which is for the Ultimate so be there! Autodrafters suck.

I had talked briefly a couple weeks ago about DotA, an expansion to Warcraft. RTS lovers really liked how the game evolved a bit to include new features to the standard game style you used to get. So it came as no surprise another game developer saw that this was the only option available for hardcore players who still play this years old expansion. So very soon you’ll have Demigod which mirrors gameplay in a new world where you’ll be revered to a whole new level. Pre-order now and get access to the beta eventually.

Wait…what??

I haven’t played TF2 in ages and can’t say I am missing it much however everytime Vilepickle releases a new map I always get that itch to go check it out. Plus, there is new content going into TF2 and even though it isn’t anything spectacular it’s nice to stumble onto some new content every once in awhile. You can look forward to all of the heavy unlocks soon or if you just want to look at pretty pictures, check this one out. Anyways, the whole reason I wanted to write about TF2 is really simple. Vilepickle has finalized his Canalzon re-make and has forced me to re-install this game. So go and grab it!!

I think I am the only one in all of North America who isn’t enthralled by the Olympics going on in China. Maybe it’s that my country Canada still hasn’t earned a single medal or the fact that the Summer Olympic events are truly boring. The one amazing story I have followed however is Michael Phelps amazing medal run. He now is the all-time medal earner and looks to add even more before it’s all done. But the really amazing thing? Check out his freakin’ diet! I am pretty sure competitive eating will be the next sport he dominates.

Damn…and to think I was too busy playing with GI Joes at his age.

A reminder for the sports nutters, the Premiership (English Football) begins this weekend. While we are running the Ultimate Fantasy Pool for this sport as well, anyone is welcome to join the league. This pool is different than your standard Yahoo Sports formats but it is very competitive and you can attempt to de-throne me this year.
