Manhunt RIP

[Image: razor.jpg]


DescriptionManhunt is perhaps the most violent, amoral video game ever made, and it's entirely unapologetic about it. Produced by the same team that created Grand Theft Auto, it sees you cast as a death-row inmate reprieved from the chair to take part in a sick game run by a snuff-movie producer.

You're forced to sneak around a series of maze-like levels killing "hunters" and SWAT-team members as you go, using such unsavoury methods as suffocating them with plastic bags and cutting their throats with shards of glass. This is primarily a stealth-based title, using many of the same techniques as Metal Gear Solid--you shuffle around walls, peer round corners and use noise to attract and distract the enemy.

This aspect of the game works extremely well thanks to the superb graphics and sound. These create an intense level of tension, so that when you mistakenly knock into an abandoned shopping trolley and alert a hunter, it's really quite terrifying. The combat, just as in GTA, is handled rather less well--but it's not anywhere bad enough to ruin the whole game.


The story revolves around a man on Death Row named James Earl Cash, sentenced to death by lethal injection due to a grievous crime, the nature of which is never explained. An exceedingly wealthy former Hollywood director named Starkweather, who runs a seedy community in an impoverished town named Carcer City, bribes the doctors to inject Cash with a powerful sedative instead.

The Director, as he likes to call himself, creates and distributes snuff films through a company named Valiant Video Enterprises. He sets up Cash as his latest star using the corrupt Carcer City police force, as well as his personal "Cerberus" guards, to corral Cash into butchering Carcer's local gangs on camera to make violent, visceral, underground snuff films.

Description:

Legendary: The Box is a first-person shooter in which you'll assume the role of a thief who, at the game's outset, unwittingly opens Pandora's Box inside a New York museum and unleashes all manner of monsters on the world. It's been about four months since we last saw Legendary: The Box in action, and at that point we were treated to demos of the game's first level and another set inside a cathedral. Our recent meeting with Spark Unlimited was long overdue but well worth the wait because we were afforded an opportunity to play through a pretty substantial demo.

Set in an as-yet unnamed small English city that has clearly seen better days, the demo tasked us with fighting our way through cobbled streets toward a cathedral that may or may not be the same one we saw the interior of at E3 earlier this year. For much for the demo we were accompanied by a small number of artificial-intelligence-controlled squadmates, but we weren't able to influence their actions in any way. To be perfectly honest, their most important role seemed to be dying in front of us in a variety of occasionally entertaining ways.

Werewolves will attack just about anything that moves in Legendary: The Box.

For the most part, our colleagues were being killed by the same werewolves that we saw at E3, and they attack both unpredictably and quickly. When they're not busy tearing your colleagues and members of the evil Black Order to shreds, Legendary's werewolves like to run around and scale walls, which can make them tough targets to keep in your sights. In addition to the garden-variety werewolves that we were up against, the demo featured a number of the more powerful alpha werewolves. The alphas are colored slightly differently and are larger than the regular werewolves, and they like to position themselves atop buildings and such and then throw chunks of destroyed walls and other debris at you. All of the werewolves can resurrect themselves if their heads are still intact, so decapitation is mandatory.

Our arsenal, although small compared to that which you'll have access to in the finished game, was thankfully more than adequate for the task at hand, and there was no shortage of discarded weapons and ammo to pick up as we progressed through the demo. Our weapons included a submachine gun, which sacrifices accuracy in order to spray bullets all over the place; a shotgun, which is super-effective up close but not very useful at range; and an assault rifle, which represents something of a happy medium between the aforementioned guns and comes equipped with a scope. We also had access to frag grenades and Molotov ~censored~, the latter of which did a great job of setting fire to enemies and environmental objects alike. If you've checked out our previous coverage of Legendary: The Box, you'll know that the protagonist also has the ability to siphon health from fallen enemies using a strange symbol that was burned onto his hand when he touched Pandora's Box. We can now confirm that you're able to siphon health into a reserve as well as into your health bar, which, for example, gives you the option to heal yourself in the middle of a boss battle when there are no corpses around.

Although not a boss battle per se, we had an opportunity to play through such a battle when we encountered our first minotaur. When we encountered said anthropomorphic bovine, it was already doing battle with a handful of Black Order soldiers, but they didn't last long enough against the beast to do any real damage before its attention turned to us. The battle that ensued took place in a small courtyard that might as well have been a gladiatorial arena, given that there was no way for us to escape and that the area seemed purpose-built for the encounter. The minotaur--which will be one of many in the game, we're told--was a very different prospect than the werewolves that we'd been battling previously; it moved relatively slowly, but its attacks were much more powerful, and for the first portion of the encounter it was wielding a Celtic-cross-style gravestone as a club. After throwing the gravestone at us, the minotaur's resorted to charging at us like a bull, and every time we avoided it a wall behind us would take the hit and be visibly damaged. Incidentally, we're told that the minotaur doesn't take any damage when it crashes into walls, so don't expect to beat it just by playing matador.

Playing matador won't do you much good against the minotaur.

The last encounter of the demo pitted us against a large wormlike creature that rose up through the ground and pulled a number of Black Order soldiers down into its hole as we looked on. The worm managed to grab us as well at one point, but we were still able to shoot at it and, thankfully, it released its grip on us shortly before it died. After that, we were rewarded with the obligatory "thanks for playing" screen.

How to Find Free Images To Download ?

Everyone likes a nice graphic, and the eHow Help Guide says images get your article noticed. But if the supply on your computer is limited, and you don't have an image subscription or software, what do you do? Here are some sites you can use to download great images for free.

Step1
Dreamstime.com is a great site for stock photography, but most of its images are for professional use and have to be purchased. However, there is a Free Images section that offers a small selection of nice photos.
Step2
Lending that certain British feel to its pics ("I know it when I see it") are two UK-based sites, FreeFoto.com--with a grand library of images--and freeimages.co.uk.
Step3
I have had a lot of success with FreePhotos.se, one of the you-upload-yours-and-I'll-download-mine sites. It has a good selection among many different categories.
Step4
When anything--including images--is in "the public domain," it means that they can be used by anyone, for any purpose, at any time, for free. That's how a lot of these sites work, including public-domain-photos.com.
Step5
"Public domain" is also the backbone of pdphoto.org. What's cool about it is all the photos are by this one guy, Jon. And they're beautiful. And let me take this opportunity to tell you to read "Warnings," below.
Step6
Be sure to rummage around in Stockvault.net. This is a primo site. You'll find plenty to play with here.
Step7
Stock.xchng is a cut above due to sheer volume, with a motherlode of photos across all categories--the best selection that I've seen. In my opinion, this site should be your first stop when browsing for images.

How to Fix Explorer.exe Problem In Windows XP When Taskbar Disappears ?

In this article, I will explain simple and easy solution to solve the EXPLORER.EXE problem in Microsoft Windows XP. This problem occurs when the Windows Taskbar and Desktop icons disappear and reappear frequently not allowing the user to perform any task.

Step1
THE PROBLEM DESCRIPTION When the computer is booted, everything looks fine initially with all the Desktop icons and the Task bar. The programs appear to be running fine. But all the icons and task bar disappears suddenly. Then it all reappears and this process continues without letting the user to perform any tasks.

How to Choose Between a Desktop or a Laptop ?

Have you a decision to make? Are you sitting there wondering whether you should buy a laptop or desktop. Here are the reasons that you should by either one. Read the article after this email and comment box.

Step1
First, decide how safe your environment is -- from thieves. If you live in an area that is constantly being robbed or in an area where the cat-burglars roam every week, then the desktop might be best for you. Most thieves are looking for that portable, lightweight laptop. They can pop into your place, pocket the computer right into their own backpack and walk out unnoticed. The desktop, on the other hand, takes more muscle, and most thieves just won't bother. Why lug a stolen desktop around --when in the same space, you could carry three or four laptops. So, if you live in a secure area or if you live in a home where there is someone "always at home", then a laptop is a good choice for you.
Step2
Laptops give you the advantage of easy set up after a "move" or change of scenery. Are you moving soon or do you move often? Laptop is the way to go. So many times, our friends have said,"we just moved in and the computer is not connected yet". And that goes on for weeks or months sometimes, after they relocate. Laptops are the best ways to save time. You move, just put the backpack into your bag and carry it out yourself. You are "set up" and connected immediately day as your move.
Step3
And now, for the myth that laptops can not do what desktop do. That is so not true. The only thing that a laptop cannot do is weigh in as much. Laptops can do the same gaming, computing, net access, storage and surfing access, that any desktop can do. Years ago, desktop could hold more and do more. But come into this century, laptops are singing the song, "Anything you can do, I can do better"! All you have to do is make sure that you get what you want when you order your laptop. If you order from Dell or from some other specific companies, they will make your laptop to order for you--at no extra cost. And, best of all, your laptop is portable --anywhere. You can plug your laptop in anywhere and do your word processing or storage procedures. You can use your laptop to store pictures and videos and important files. And, you can even connect on the net anywhere if you have the proper wireless equipment or files. There is not much that a desktop can do that a laptop cannot spin circles around. So, go for it. Choose the laptop.

How Do You Increase Blog Traffic?

Between the internet strategy teleseminar for the San Francisco Writing Conference I did on Monday, the blogging presentation I did for the Oakland branch of Ladies Who Launch on Tuesday, and the consults I had with individual bloggers on Wednesday and Thursday, I've been asked several times this week:

"How do I increase my blog traffic?"

Based on my own experience, and after reading posts about blog traffic by folks like Seth Godin, Darren Rowse of ProBlogger, and others, here is a list of tips I've compiled:

  • Post regularly.
  • Link to other bloggers in your posts.
  • Comment on other blogs.
  • Have a blogroll.
  • Make it easy to comment. It's ok to have comment moderation, but don't make people register.
  • Allow readers to email posts to other people.
  • Enable subscription to your rss feed with Feedburner.
  • Enable subscription by email with Feedblitz.
  • Include images or graphics with every post to catch the reader's eye. Blogs are a visual medium.
  • Add your blog URL to your email signature.
  • Tell Google you have a blog.
  • Tell Technorati you have a blog.
  • Write titles with phrases that people are searching for (i.e. How to Bake a Cake).
  • Write about current events.
  • Ask a question in your title.
  • Post a list (i.e. Ten Ways to Frost a Cake).
  • Provide a way for people to easily share and bookmark your posts by using something like AddThis or Add to Any.
  • Twitter.
  • Bookmark your posts in del.icio.us, and other social bookmarking services.
  • Try writing shorter posts (200-300 words). That's about how many words the average person can read in a minute.
  • Leave more space between paragraphs. Use bold subtitles. Catch the reader's eye.
  • Participate in memes, blog carnivals and challenges.
  • Tags your post with Technorati tags.
  • Let ping servers know when you have a new post.
  • Interview people who have blogs or email lists, and will post a link to the interview.
  • Have guest bloggers post on your blog
  • Include videos in your posts.
  • Install web analytics tools like SiteMeter, StatCounter and Google Analytics. Look at what kinds of posts get the most traffic. Write more of those!
  • Highlight your most popular posts in your sidebar.
  • Create a MyBlogLog community.
  • Participate in social networks like Facebook and MySpace, as well as niche social networks related to the theme of your blog.
  • Participate in online forums and communities.
  • List your blog in blog directories.
  • Run a contest.
Finally, write posts that people want to read!

How to Make a Solar Cell Phone Charger

From http://www.2pointhome.com A little soldering is all it takes to make this cool little emergency cell phone charger. Keep it in the glove box of your car, in case you ever get stranded in the woods and start to hear banjo music! You might be able to find the mini solar panels at a store that sells science or electronics equipment; otherwise you can order them online. Please note, you'll also be cutting the wire on the cell phone charger, so make sure it's not the only one you have! You can often find cheap chargers at discount stores like Big Lots -- it doesn't matter if it's AC or car compatible, since you'll only be using the end that plugs in your phone.

Step1
Cut wires & tubing Take the 2 solar power panels and cut all four wires to about 1" in length. Cut 1/4" of plastic off of the tip of each wire with the wire stripper so copper wires are exposed. This exposed wire is called a 'lead.' Cut the small heat shrink tubing into four equal pieces (1" each). Slide the small heat shrink tubing onto both black wires.
Step2
Solder solar panel leads Using a toothpick, paint leads with flux on a red wire from one solar panel, and a black wire from the other solar panel. Put those two leads together, and solder using your piece of solder and the soldering iron.
Step3
Heat-shrink tubing Slide small heat shrink tubing over the leads you just soldered together. Heat the tubing with heat gun just enough for it to shrink.
Step4
Cut phone charger wire Cut off the wire from your old charger to about 2.5 feet and strip off 2.5" of outer plastic from the loose end. Cut 1/4" off of each of the inside wires to make leads. Slide the full length of the large heat shrink tubing onto this main wire for later use in Step 6.
Step5
Flux, solder and heat-shrink loose leads On your main wire, slide a piece of small heat shrink tubing onto the red wire. Flux all loose leads of main wire as well as the solar panels with the toothpick. Solder red leads from main wire and solar panels together. Repeat with black wires. Slide heat shrink tubings over these soldered leads and use heat gun to shrink.
Step6
Test charger Test the charger by connecting it to a phone under bright light.
Step7
Heat-shrink solar panel leads On your main wire, slide large heat shrink tubing over the two soldered leads which connect to the solar panels. Use the heat gun to shrink the tubing.
Step8
Tape and close On the back of the solar panels, cover the two brass rivets with double-sided tape (so they don't make contact with the Altoids tin.) Tape the two solar panels on the inside lid of the tin. Tuck the main wire into the case and close. Go somewhere sunny (Florida is nice) and charge it up!

How to Create a Network of Internet Friends

If you spend a lot of time on the internet, chances are you have already made several friends, unless your personality is such that you created “cyber-enemies” instead. Either way, here are a few simple tips on how to create a network of internet friends.

Step1
Join and actively participate in an active internet community. Whatever you enjoy doing or discussing, there is an online community for it. You can join a chat room or a forum. Just register and join the online community by introducing yourself and telling the group a little about who you are and your hobbies. Respond to comments and various topics and be "visible" in the community. Soon the members will get to know you and you can enjoy watching your friendships grow.
Step2
Blog about a popular topic. Start a blog about Sarah Palin's daughter, the daughter's boyfriend, Hillary Clinton, Bigfoot or any hot topic or current event. You'll have an instant network of internet friends! Many opinionated folk will start to comment on your blog. As you respond to comments and interact with the group, you will develop friendships and talk to people as if you have known them all your life.
Step3
Take an Internet class. Internet classes will provide a unique environment for intelligent conversation among people with a common interest and a common goal. You learn to chat online, post on message boards and interact in forums with classmates and instructors. Not only do you meet new friends worldwide, but you learn and get a degree (if desired) in the process!
Step4
Start or join an online book club. Pick a book or author you are passionate about and invite others who are passionate about the same writing style to join in the discussions. There are many popular online book clubs listed in the resource section of this article.
Step5
Start an online forum. Start an internet forum on a topic of your choice. Maybe a "Complaints" forum where people can get loads of garbage off their chest. Just imagine how much good you will do for heart disease and hypertension!!

How to Create a Free Website

You have a Blog, a photo stream or maybe some crazy-only you can make-products you want to sell. Perhaps you want to showcase yourself, your music or your professional services. Maybe you just want a free website! Here are some of my favorite places to go for a free website!

Step1
Research the best free website creators that are right for you. Which host will provide the file space you need and the capacity you want? Who offers the best options when it comes to function and capability?

My personal favorite is Weebly (www.weebly.com). I have two websites through them! You get two free websites (you either have to already own the domain name or you can buy one through them) before you have to upgrade to a Pro account. It’s free! You can add Google Ad sense in seconds and create an UNLIMITED number of pages! That’s right…you can have a HUNDRED pages if your heart desires. You can have unlimited Blogs and it’s simple to add a photo gallery or stream from your flikr account. If you would like to see an example of a Weebly website (this is where I plug in my little creation) go to my profile and click on my websites. Try it out…this is my favorite website creator!
Step3
The next one is Freewebs.com. This is my next suggestion. They have over 300 templates, forums and photo editing. Come to think of it, they actually offer way more than Weebly…but I have to pay my dues to my “first” right? Anyways, they also have chat rooms, advanced HTML options (I’m getting a little turned on, aren’t you?) and a member e-mail list (oh my gosh where have you been?). Okay, try out Freewebs first guys and girls…they totally rocked my world just now.
Step4
Next on my list is Doodlekit.com. The cool thing about Doodle is that you can choose which language you want your website to be in and they also hook you up with a newsletter creator (something I desperately need…have no idea why I went with anything else). They also help you out with SEO (search engine optimization) and bless you with IP addresses of each visitor and other fantastic statistics about your website. They also make room for a more advanced internet user with XHTML and HTML options. The coolest thing is that they allow you to create an alias e-mail address that will forward any e-mail to your real one. They are a real competitor with Freewebs in my opinion. Now for the bad news (sniff sniff). Most of these featurs will cost you extra. I know, I know! I got your hopes up...I'm sorry! They do offer a free service but also offer great "pay a little extra" features. Just make sure you do a little digging before signing up.

Step6
The greatest thing about these website creators is that they basically walk you through everything! They explain the details so even the most inexperienced internet virgin out there can manage their way into creating an awesome, personalized...and best of all FREE, website.
