Chinese Military Train Soldiers To Be Gaming Geeks

It's hard to believe but it's true. A blog run by someone called Tian is reporting that during a CCTV (Chinese Central) TV broadcast, folks in the Chinese army are shown to be playing Counter Strike!

Instructor Wang Qiang quoted saying: "Our priority is not about battling Muslim terrorists, but to kick some teenager punks' asses. We are tired of getting our asses handed to us by some zit-faced kid living in Des Moines, Iowa."

Are the Chinese military that serious?

To proof that P2P software is so easy to write that attempts to ban it is futile. The record and movie industry had better start to stop P2P and making use of it to provide legit content for folks to share, rather than brand file-sharing as a crime.

Famous moments using HL2

Someone has used the Half Life 2 engine to recreate famous moments in history that were captured in photos. There's one on the burning of the monk made famous during the Vietnam war, and also the one of the assination of Oswald.
