This is a really fun game! Hold the “A” key to switch. Hold the “S” to bounce. Hit the space bar to reverse.

Swing and bounce from dot to dot to progress through each level. Your goal is to get to the bright star. Avoid enemies and obstacles!

There are two ways you can play:

1) Hit as few of the dots as possible on your way to the star.

2) Be sure to hit all of the dots on your way to the star.

Save the access codes to jump back in the game at the level where you left off!

Battlefield Heroes Sneak Peek

a post by Alec, filed in Computer, Video Games, alec, technology on March 1st, 2008. Read the full post »

Battlefield Heroes? Never heard of it!

Although EA is continuing the awesome Battlefield franchise, they are doing it very, very differently with Battlefield Heros. In my opinion this is EA’s response to Valve’s Team Fortress 2 due to the similarity in graphics–which are incredible–, however there is one thing that makes Battlefield Heroes different. It is free!

Free? How can it be free?

EA is using a new technique with Battlefield Heroes, namely, a ton of in-game advertising. Intel has had there name plastered all over the place in Battlefield 2142 but this is be different. Since Battlefield Heroes is modern times, there will be tons of billboards with different ads on it, just like a banner ad on a website–except you can’t block it. I’m guessing that EA has built up such a big fan base of the Battlefield franchise, that they would actually make more money from a person who plays 20 hours, gathering ad money for EA as opposed to the same guy buying 2142 and making EA money once, maybe twice if buys Northern Strike. The game will be released this summer and the only way to get will be to download it from EA. I’m predicting some crashed servers.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Whatever. I want some screen shots!

MPAA Made a Mistake “Due to human Error”

a post by Alec, filed in Computer, Hack, alec, game, internet, piracy, technology on January 31st, 2008. Read the full post »

The MPAA has never been too high on college kids — remember the dishonor roll? — but it looks like Hollywood set is bummed about not being invited to that last kegger, because the MPAA is now admitting that it drastically overstated the effect of college downloading in previous studies. Back in 2005, the MPAA claimed that a whopping 44 percent of revenue losses came directly at the hands of carefree coeds nationwide, and used that number to pressure colleges into enforcing harsher downloading policies and even propose legislation currently before Congress that would tie federal education funds to copyright enforcement requirements. We’re not sure why the industry is now backing off that 44 percent number, but it’s now saying that “human error” resulted in a miscalculation, and the revenue loss from college piracy is more like 15 percent — a number which is further disputed by campus IT groups, who say it should be more like three percent. Of course, while it’s good to see the MPAA take an upfront stance on this, simply admitting you’re sleazy doesn’t actually wipe the slime off, so let’s see how the industry approaches future studies, shall we?

Thanks Engadget.
