dudes! i found a few things worth posting!


ok first iv'e reinstalled a game i forgot to mention before, its for the pc, and its free. this game is called soldat and its kind of an action packed worms game except its not turned-based. thats right its real time and it is pretty intense. a couple things, you can download this game from the website http://www.soldat.pl/. or you can just click this link here and download it directly from my blog: http://www.mannindustries.net/soldat/soldat131.zip

its deffinetly worth trying. you can also enhance the gameplay by adding a custom mod from this site http://soldatmods.edgegaming.com/integramod/portal.php

i would suggest the toon mod, its nice and not too distractive, also the doom mod is pretty neat, i wouldnt suggest it though but its neat to see doom in 2d. to successfully install a mod in soldat extract the zip file and just shove the file in soldat->mods. but heres the tricky part. start up a note pad and type exactly this: Soldat.exe -mod modname

just copy and paste and where it says "modname" replace with the name of the mod you want to try out, then save as type: "all files" and call it anything you want with .bat at the end, then just shove that in the soldat file.

when you want to play the mod just double click the bat file, and if you find a mod you like make a shortcut of the bat file on your desktop and change the icon to the soldat icon. there you go, its a really interesting game. probably the thing i like most about it is that it hones any first person shooter experience you might have, you could be brand new to the game and get a top score, i know because thats how it worked for me.

also i should mention the game you are downloading is a near finished version of the full version which is purchasable for 10 dollars, not a bad deal but the features look merly luxurious to me, you can change the color of your jet boot flames, allow your own music to be played, change the style of your interface, but i think ill stick to the yellow flames, no music, and a standard interface...

however, if you find youself playing this game for an extended period of time, i would advise the purchase of these extra features, to help the small developement company, because its worth taking the extra step if your going to be playing the game for a long time, but purely because ten bucks really isnt that much...

also something i may not have mentioned before but is worth looking at, is steam. at first i thought steam was a program trying to take over my sytem due to copyprotection, but compared to such copy protection such as starforce, steam is santa clause in the flash.

what i mean is it really tries to do what it was meant to do, it provides media to download of upcomming products, free of charge, and even demos, completley harmless all you have to do is double click. one demo i recently indulged in was for a game called defcom. its a fun game with a humerous permis of global domination in the form of a nuclear war. whats cool is the demo provides an online service so you can play with others. the game is made by the same people who did a game called darwinia a neat 3d 6 bit game with aspects borrowed from many interesting things including tron, real time strategy games, shooters, civs, sims, almost everything.


thats worth looking at too.


also steam provides mods for games you've purchased from them, such as the half-life series and... other games....heh.


so there you go some free games to tickle you mindless pleasures at least until you scrape the inside of the couch for that last quarter so you can rent another 360 game from the corner perveyor, catch ya later
