Here it is: two minutes of GTA IV bliss known as “Move up, Ladies.” I especially appreciated that Rockstar opened with a shot of the Statue of Liberty some random, giant statue in no way affiliated with New York that most definitely did not make an appearance in Ghostbusters II. For those interested in seeing this trailer on the big screen, it should be available on Xbox LIVE now. And you probably wish that we’d told you that before you clicked play. Sorry, we were lonely.
Numbers are supposed to be impressive, right? Well, it’s been 10 years, two hardware generations, and about seventeen thousand rumors since the last pure number Street Fighter came around. And today we have the first ever official details on Street Fighter IV.
We don’t blame you if your eyes have already skipped down to the screenshot lower on the page (yes, that’s from the game engine). Take your time. But we’ve got some information as well, so the rest of this is probably worth reading when you get a chance.
Yeah, so I just finished pumping up Trinity.. and they go and do this. Nice work gentlemen. I can say.. yes in fact the graphics are HAWT. And yes in fact, it WOULD screw yoru machine up if you got the premium patch within that timeframe.
(luckily I hadn’t rebooted before I fixed it)
But in order to spread the word:

ALERT: READ THIS IF YOU INSTALLED TRINITY BEFORE 4 A.M. GMT
If you have Windows AND upgraded EVE Online: Trinity Classic before 4 A.M. GMT to Premium using the content upgrade path then you MUST read this before doing anything else.
PLEASE DO NOT REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER
Check the root directory of your hard drive and see if you have a boot.ini file. Boot.ini file is normally hidden so you need to click Tools : Folder Options : View and select “Show hidden files and folders” and uncheck “Hide protected operating system files” to be able to see it. You can also check for the presence of this file by clicking Start : Control Panel : System : Advanced : Startup and Recovery : Settings (third button down). Windows will alert you if the boot.ini file is missing.
If boot.ini is still there then you are not affected and do not have to take any further steps.
If boot.ini is NOT there then please click here: FORUM LINK
We have removed the faulty updater so anyone installing the Trinity Expansion now will not be effected.
A new updater will be available shortly.
We apologize profusely for this error and are working on offering more extensive help those that have a non-working Windows PC, so please stay tuned.
Gaming Steve is fantastic. And he has a great podcast. But thats not what this post is about. This is the balls-out coolest extension of your MMO gaming experience I’ve see net. They basically make a very nicely detailed model of YOUR character in WoW. Frickin sweet.
Dave and I have been checking out EvE-Online now for a few weeks. The game is slow at first, glacially slow. And if action-y combat is your think, this game is not going to scratch that itch for some time. But if you like depth in game play, and truly user-driven political systems, then this game is unparalleled.
Today will mark the launch of the (free) expansion, Trinity to the game, and also debut a brand new graphics overhaul to the game, which was already sexy to look at. If you are feeling the boredom of WoW, and looking for a very different MMO to check out, you might want to give EvE a try.
So… after leaving this poor blog to rot for several months here, I have decided to redouble my efforts on this puppy.
I have been working at a start-up called Guild Cafe, and while it has certainly been taking up more than its fair share of work, it has both gotten me closer to the game industry, and also demonstrated to me the need for me to have a place to rant about whatever, but that is separate from my personal (family) blog.
So.. with that (and a google ad check to remind me its actually worth it…cuz it will pay its server fees) monkeygames.org LIVES again!!!!
I have setup the blog with Flock (the most conducive web browser to blogging around, and so I have no reason to be lazy and leave my poor monkeygames to die.
With that, I thank you for visiting, especially after such a long long long haitus. I hope to serve you well out there in blogland. And if you wish to contact me, you can email me at russell at monkeygames d o t org.
p.s.
You may also note that the forums have been nuked, sadly this is what happens when you don’t spend time and energy protecting it from spammers.
