title says it all folks, someone claiming to be a valve employee entered #ubuntu-offtopic looking for win->linux porters, just directed them to job description and asked them to email valve, jobdescription: http://www.valvesoftware.com/job-SenSoftEngineer.html

I don’t think this is the Orange box because its too late for the Source Engine. It seems Valve is just porting Steam because if they get in early they will have a monopoly. I would much rather see LGP make some kind of digital distribution system for their games but hay who knows what happening with them these days

We’ve all been there. Playing through your game of choice, kicking ass and taking names, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, this villain… this… BOSS comes at you with an unexpected fury that kicks… your… ass. Here’s a list, in no particular order, of some of the greatest villains and major fights in console gaming history.

i remember i considered my 4 year old cousin a “god” when he visited me and promised he could beat mike tyson. i was stuck on the guy who laughed at you (sandman ?). and i go, ‘he laughs at me, thats how much i suck.’ then he goes ‘i can make him cry.’ and sure enough, he got all the way to tyson and put him down. he was cooler than cool.
also, it was awesome watching it again for the first time in so long. the key was to dodge all those uppercuts in the first round. if you could get past round 1, your chances at success increased substantially!
bring back tyson! super punch-out featuring mike tyson for the wii/360/ps3/pc/ds/psp! everything. with next gen graphics! and online! woot! (it will never happen :( )

Poll: Hillary Clinton ‘untrustworthy’

Time: 3:28 am

A new ABC-Washington Post poll found that Hillary Clinton is losing trust among the majority of respondents, compared to a majority that trusted her before her campaign began…

Quick Hillary, make some crap up and attack Obama with it! Hmm… no.. on second thought… I know! Reinvent your image somehow! Make some crap up about your past that tells us how honest you are… No?

Maybe you could try distracting our attention away from these problems by discussing the issues and telling us exactly how your policies are better than Obama’s. Sure it’s kind of boring but I know it would shock the piss out of me.

The Handy Uses of a Home Computer (Jan, 1970)

Computers for the home have been envisioned by science fiction writers and engineers ever since a huge, unwieldy prototype was developed 25 years ago. The whole futuristic age they prophesied, with an omnipotent electronic monster named Horace in every living room, is still a long way from realization…

When I was a kid, my dad would bring one of those home from work every once in a while. This was probably 1975 or so and it was a portable model. You just connected your phone to it and dialed in to the central number he used for access. The server he connected to had an adventure game on it that I loved. It was very similar to the Infocom games in the 80s. If I remember correctly, I think there was even a program to print out a ramdom maze to solve. Good times, good times.

Pennsylvania Crowd Doesn’t Buy Barack Bashing

On Monday, with the Pennsylvania primary just days away, Hillary Clinton continued to hammer Barack Obama over his comments that small town Americans “cling to guns or religion” because they are “bitter.” The crowd didn’t like the attack.

Personally, I plan on voting for Obama. But, I have to admit what he said was extremely insensitive. If you see someone who’s having a hard time you don’t say,”oh shit… your life must suck… you must be hating life!” You don’t call them bitter. You don’t assume they are gun lovers or religious simply because they have no job. You don’t call them anti-immigrant. You shouldn’t assume they have antipathy to people who aren’t like them. Barack laid a whole lot of assumptions and crap on innocent hard working people. That stereotypical shit should be above him. What makes this all worse is that some people have NO Friggin idea why this upsets people. Baracks a good guy, he made a mistake. Why should he get a free pass? Hillary and McCain are right in calling him out on this. If he wants to be the pres, which I think he most likely will, he’s got to be able to stand up and take a punch. The one thing that can end it for Obama which in my opinion is the same thing that ended it for Kerry… Arrogance.

Barack Obama is worth $1.3M, McCain: $40.4M, Hillary: $$$$$$

Link is to CNNMoney.com article from July of 2007. Hillary’s total is a bit low, this was before it was revealed that she and Bill made SHITLOADS of money. Meanwhile, McCain is married to a the heiress to one of the largest Anheuser-Busch distributors in the nation and owns 8 HOUSES. Obama is an author and constitutional lawyer. Who’s the Elitist??

Actually It doesn’t matter who said what. Who ever gets elected will make the vague promises and never follow through with any of them or won’t be able to follow through with any of them. All I know is we are going to be in a lot of trouble who ever get to the White House. I’m truly afraid of Hillary, and I don’t know the true Obama, and McCain was saying the right trhinks and then got Bushes approval. I think it might be time to move to another country like China, Russia. or maybe New Zealand. I’m starting to pack
