Got My Grub On

Went down to Mayslack's for their Chili Cook-Off. Tried about 10 or so of the 23(?) chili's being presented before my taste palette was fried. The one being served in the pic above got my vote. His unique ingredient was Surly's Coffee Blend. Others used Ghost Peppers, Mexican Chocolate, Bratwurst meat, Surly Furious, and a wide array of other things I didn't bother asking about. Had fun, I just wish it wasn't so bloody cold out.

One Weekend, Two Major FPS Leaks

FPSfags got an early Valentines Day gift. On Friday Crysis 2 (beta build) + the Crytek3 Engine were leaked online. A seemingly hefty torrent weighing in at 9.21 gigabytes has given fanboys an early look at the much hyped about title. EA & Crytek are on the hunt atm, people are reporting that the torrent has been pulled from Pirate Bay & Demonoid.



Because it's a beta build the graphics are unpolished, reportedly the build is limited to DX9 & medium settings, but it is more than playable. It took players less than a day to get multiplayer working, but sadly only in LAN format.



The other big leak this weekend happened today, Sunday. Sony's flagship FPS Killzone 3 got released by some Eurofag. PS3 News, via MadFanBoy, is
saying there are two versions of the Killzone 3 client out right now. The 3D enabled version weighing in at 41.4GB and the regular version at 22.3GB.



Crysis 2 will be in stores on March 22, 2011 and Killzone 3 February 22, 2011.
