Teen Arrested for making Counterstrike Map
» ‎ It's About Nothing....

a Chinese high school student in Fort Bend Texas is arrested and then forced to attend an alternative education center when parents discover he has created a Counterstrike level based off of Clements High School for he and his friends to play on. The student had his home searched for weapons, was detained until it was determined no charges could be filed, and is now unable to graduate with his peers, all because of his mapmaking skills. Oh wait, it was completely founded. He had swords....

I hate fan boys......
» ‎ It's About Nothing....

Man do I hate fan boys. I go through some forums, and you can easily point out fan boys. They will always tell you how perfect their "product" is, how flawless it is, and how they've seen the light with it. But they will be completely blind of all the disadvantages of the product. recently I've seen the fight between Windows and MAC fan boys about Mac advertisements. In my opinion, those ads. are funny, most of them have true facts. But, on the other hand they are making PC users like idiots,...

Wii will be $299
» ‎ It's About Nothing....

Toys R Us Conference: Wii will be $299 Last week, all of the Toys R Us "store directors" had a conference in Orlando, FL. One day of the conference is devoted to "vendor day" where various toy and video game vendors show off their crap, ostensibly to get all of the store managers hyped up to focus on selling their products.It just so happens that I am on very good terms with the local Toys R Us store director, and he filled me on some of the things he saw and heard. (I will not share his name...

Portal
» ‎ It's About Nothing....

Before I get to the point I would give some history about it. FPS games have a lot in common in many terms. A new game came out called "Prey"; which has a new technology called "Portal". Portal is a feature that allowed rips in space to be created, moved and reshaped in real time. This was to be a core feature of the game play, along with heavily destructible environments. Prey developers focused on "Portals should be used as tricks, not as an engine paradigm"; so Doom3 engine helped them to...

Team Fortress2, Portal, HL2:E2 Ingame Footage
» ‎ It's About Nothing....

Valve and Steam are in the process of releasing the next episode of Half Life 2; which is "Episode 2". Half Life 2 is one of the most famous FPS games. When Valve released Episode 1, lots of players were not happy with the game play time; it was around 4-5 hours game play. Plus, there wasn't any new guys and the $19.99 price was not justifiable for what they played. Although -in my opinion- there was great add on for the story line. Any way, Valve are planning to make the game play longer than...

First Post on my Blog
» ‎ It's About Nothing....

"It's About Nothing..." - George Costanza, Seinfild Show - Last week some of my friends and myself decided to create our own technology blog "Bahrain Techies United". I've never used blogs before, I read some of them but never created my own, so that blog got me started. When I was creating the blog I was thinking of what shall I put in my blog. I gave it a long thought -few days actually-, I mean I have several interest to talk about. I love PC gaming, I game a lot, I'm a big fan of Half...
