Modern Panchtantra Story

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday market.


One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (the woodcutter and the axe ),

He started praying to the River Goddess. The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the river.

As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a match box and asked, " Is this your computer ?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineer replied, " No."

She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his. Annoyed, the engineer said " No, not at all!!"

Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his. The engineer left with no option, sighed and said " Yes."

he River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him all 3 items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer Asked her, "Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computers before bringing up my own ?"

The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the Billennium, the latest computers from IBM !". So saying, she disappeared with the Pentium!!


MoralIf you're not up-to-date with technology trends , it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

What part did you get?

This one little boy in about 4th or 5th grade was trying out for a school play. He earned a part and went home to tell his father.

His father was really proud of him. So his father asks what part did you get?

He replies I got the part of a man who has been married for 25 years.

His father congratulated him. And then he said "That's good son, maybe next time you'll get a talking role!"

The Burnt Ears

One day a man was going on the street. He met a man who asked him what had happened to his ears as both ears covered with bandages.

He said: "I was ironing my clothes when the phone bell rang. Instead of picking up the phone, i pick up the iron, so i burnt my ear."

The man asked "So what happened to your other ear?"

He said "That same stupid guy called again"

Time

SURD: "Excuse me sir, what time is it?"
MAN: "It's 3:15."
SURD: (puzzled look on his face) "You know, it's the
weirdest thing, I
have
been asking that question all day, and each time I get
a different
answer."

The Boss

A guy phones up his Boss, but gets the bosses' wife instead:
"I'm afraid he died last week." she explains.
The next day the man calls again and asks for the boss.
"I told you" the wife replies, "he died last week."
The next day he calls again and once more asks to speak to his
boss. By this time the wife is getting upset and shouts:
"I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU TWICE, MY HUSBAND, YOUR BOSS, DIED LAST WEEK! WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING?"

"Coz . . ." he replied laughing, "I just love hearing it. . . ."

Dog Watch

Guest: "Why does your dog sit there and watch me eat?"

Hotel Host: "I can't imagine, unless it's because you have the plate he usually eats from."

A Coming Home Gift

After being away on business for a week before Christmas, Tom thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift.

"How about some perfume?" he asked the cosmetics clerk.
She showed him a bottle costing $50.

"That's a bit much," said Tom, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.
"Thats still quite a bit," Tom groused.
Growing disgusted, the clerk brought out a tiny $15 bottle.
Tom grew agitated, "What I mean," he said, "is I'd like to see something real cheap."

So the clerk handed him a mirror!

You've Got Mail

A man was sitting on his porch one afternoon when he noticed that his neighbor, a blonde, went out to her mailbox, opened it, and returned to her home empty handed.

About five minutes later, he saw the blonde again. She checked the mailbox and once again, returned to her house empty handed.

She did this two more times before the man decided to ask her about it. "Why do you keep coming out to your mailbox every five minutes?" the man asked.

"Because," replied the blonde, "my computer keeps telling me that I've got mail!"

2 plus 2

2 plus 2
A housewife, an accountant and a lawyer were asked "How much is 2 plus 2?"
The housewife replies: "Four!".

The accountant says: "I think it's either 3 or 4. Let me run those figures through my spreadsheet one more time."

The lawyer pulls the drapes, dims the lights and asks in a hushed voice, "How much do you want it to be?"

2 friends a hunting!

Two men were out hunting in the woods. One of them was a fanatical huntsman and he went hunting as often as he could.

The other was his friend who is a peaceful nature loving fellow, who didn't really want to hurt anything.

They had been out in the woods for some time, when they picked up the tracks of a deer. They soon caught up with it, and when they saw it, it was obvious why it had been so easy to catch up to - it had a terrible infection over it's left eye, which it couldn't even see out of.

The hunter started to take aim with his shotgun, but his friend begged him to stop.
Hey! he said, "Can't you see that's a bad eye deer?"

24 Hours to Live.

After dozens of very expensive tests and weeks of hospitalization, the rich old man was told he had only 24 hours to live.

He immediately called his doctor and his lawyer to his room. He asked the doctor to stand by one side of his bed and his lawyer to stand by the other.

After standing for some time, the doctor asked "What do you want me to do?"
"Nothing. Just stand there."

A while later, the lawyer asked "What do you want me to do?"
"Nothing. Just stand there."

As the hours wore on, the doctor and the lawyer watched the man weaken. When his time had almost arrived, the doctor and the lawyer again asked "Why are we standing here?"

"Well," said the old man, "Christ died between two thieves, so I thought I'd do the same!

3 Old-Timers...

Three men were discussing aging on the steps of the nursing home.

"Sixty is the worst age to be," announced the 60 year old. "You always feel like you have to pee. And most of the time, you stand at the toilet and nothing comes out!"

"Ah, that's nothing," said the 60 year old. "When you're 70, you can't take a crap anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran - you sit on the toilet all day and nothing comes out !"

"Actually," said the eighty year old, "Eighty is the worst age of all."
"Do you have trouble peeing too?", asked the sixty year old.
"No ... not really. I pee every morning at 6AM. I pee like a race horse - no problem at all."

"Do you have trouble taking a crap?", asked the 70 year old.
"No, not really. I have a great bowel movement every morning at 6:30."

With great exasperation, the 60 year old said, "Let me get this straight. You pee every morning at six o'clock and take a crap every morning at six thirty. What's so tough about being eighty?"

To which the eighty year old replied - "I don't wake up until ten!"

4 new fathers.

Four expectant fathers were in a Minneapolis hospital waiting room while their wives were in labor. The nurse arrived and proudly announced to the first man, "Congratulations, sir. You're the father of twins!"

"What a coincidence! I work for the Minnesota Twins Baseball team!"

Later the nurse returned and congratulated the second father on the birth of his triplets.

"Wow! That's incredible! I work for the 3M Corporation."

An hour later, the nurse returned to congratulate the third man on the
birth of his quadruplets. Stunned, he barely could reply, "I don't believe it! I work for the Four Seasons Hotel!"

After this, everyone turned to the fourth guy who had just fainted. The nurse rushed to his side. As he slowly gained consciousness, they could hear him mutter over and over, "I should never have taken that job at 7-Eleven. I should never have taken that job at 7-Eleven. I should never have taken that job...."

5 Questions that put FEAR into a Man!

The 5 questions most feared by men are:
1...What are you thinking about?
2...Do you love me?
3...Do I look fat?
4...Do you think she is prettier than me?
5...What would you do if I died?

What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly(i.e., tells the truth).

As a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible Responses.

Question # 1: What are you thinking about?

The proper answer to this, of course, is: "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you."
This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer,which most likely is one of the following:
a...Baseball.
b...Football.
c...How fat you are.
d...How much prettier she is than you.
e...How I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!"

Question # 2: Do you love me?

The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear." Inappropriate responses include:
a...Oh Yeah, crap loads.
b...Would it make you feel better if I said yes?
c...That depends on what you mean by love.
d...Does it matter?
e...Who, me?

Question # 3: Do I look fat?

The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!"
Among the incorrect answers are:
a...Compared to what?
b...I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.
c...A little extra weight looks good on you.
d...I've seen fatter.
e...Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question # 4: Do you think she's prettier than me?

Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!"
Incorrect responses include:

a...Yes, but you have a better personality.
b...Not prettier, but definitely thinner.
c...Not as pretty as you when you were her age.
d...Define pretty.
e...Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question # 5: What would you do if I died?

A definite no-win question.(The real answer, of course, is "Buy a Corvette and a Boat".
WARNING: No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines:

WOMAN: Would you get married again?
MAN: Definitely not!
WOMAN: Why not-don't you like being married?
MAN: Of course I do.
WOMAN: Then why wouldn't you remarry?
MAN: Okay, I'd get married again.
WOMAN: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face)
WOMAN: Would you sleep with her in our bed?
MAN: Where else would we sleep?
WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her?
MAN: That would seem like the proper thing to do.
WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs?
MAN: She can't use them; she's left-handed
WOMAN: - - - silence - - -
MAN: Oh ( expletive deleted).

A bat joke

The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had had enough.

"Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back."

"You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got."

The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right. Get in."

A Blonde In Flight School

A blonde went to a flight school insisting she wanted to learn to fly.

As all the planes were currently in use, the owner agreed to instruct
her by radio on how to pilot the solo helicopter.

He took her out, showed her how to start it and gave her the basics,
and sent her on her way.
After she climbed 1000 feet, she radioed in.
"I'm doing great! I love it!
The view is so beautiful, and I'm starting to get the hang of this."

After 2000 feet, she radioed again, saying how easy it was to fly.
The instructor watched her climb over 3000 feet, and was beginning to
worry that she hadn't radioed in.

A few minutes later, he watched in horror as she crashed about half a
mile away.

He ran over and pulled her from the wreckage.
When he asked what happened, she said,
"I don't know! Everything was going fine, but as I got higher, I was
starting to get cold.

I can barely remember anything after I turned off the big fan!"

A Blonde Kidnapper

A Blonde was down on her luck.
In order to raise some money, she decided to kidnap a kid and hold him for ransom.

She went to the playground, grabbed a kid, took him behind a tree, and told him, "I've kidnapped you."

She then wrote a note saying,
"I've kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow morning, put $10,000 in a paper bag and put it under the pecan tree next to the slide on the north side of the playground. Signed, A Blonde".

The Blonde then pinned the note to the kid's shirt and sent him home to show it to his parents. The next morning the Blonde checked, and sure enough, a paper bag was sitting beneath the pecan tree. The Blonde opened up the bag and found the $10,000 with a note that said,
"How could you do this to a fellow Blonde?"

A Blonde's Dream

One day a blonde kept having the same weird dream everyday, so she went to her doctor.

Doctor: What was your dream about?
Blonde: I was being chase by a vampire!

Doctor: (giggles quitely) So... what is the scenery like?
Blonde: I was running in a hall way.

Doctor: Then what happened?

Blonde: Well that's the weird thing. In every single dream, the same thing happened. I always come to this door, but I can't open it. I keep pushing the door and pushing the door, but it wouldn't budge!

Doctor: Does the door have any letters on it?
Blonde: Yes it did.

Doctor: And what did these letter spell?
Blonde: It said "Pull"

A Chicago man in hell.

A Chicago man dies and goes to hell.

When he gets there, the devil comes over to welcome him. The devil then says "sometimes it gets pretty uncomfortable down here."

The man says, "No problem. I'm from Chicago."

So the devil goes over to the thermostat, turns the temperature up to 100, and the humidity up to 80. He then goes back to the Chicago man to see how he's doing. To the devil's surprise, the man is doing just fine.

"No problem...just like Chicago in June," the man says.

So the devil goes back over to the thermostat, and turns the temperature up to 150, and the humidity up to 90. He then goes back over to see how the Chicago man is doing.

The man is sweating a little, but overall looks comfortable.
"No problem. Just like Chicago in July," the man says.

So now the devil goes over to the thermostat, turns the temperature up to 200, and the humidity up to 100. When he goes back to see how the man is doing, the man is sweating profusely, and has taken his shirt off. Otherwise, he seems OK.

He says, "no problem. Just like Chicago in August."

Now the devil is really perplexed. So he goes back to the thermostat, and turns the temperature down to MINUS 150 DEGREES. Immediately, all the humidity in the air freezes up, and the whole place (meaning Hell) becomes a frigid, barren, frozen, deathly cold wasteland.

When he goes back now to see how the Chicago man is doing, he is shocked to discover the man is jumping up and down, and cheering in obvious delight. The devil immediately asks the man what's going on.
To which the Chicago man replies.....

"THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!"
"THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!"

A day late.

Guy goes to the doctor to get the results of a health check.
Doctor says 'Iv'e got good news and bad news, which do you want first?'
'Guy says good news first.'
'OK, You got 24 hours to live'
'Dang, whats the bad news!'
'I shoulda' told you yesterday!'

A DAY OFF

So you want a day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for.

There are 365 days per year available for work.

There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work.

Since you spend 16 hours each day away fron work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available.

You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available.

With a 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days,leaving only 22 days available for work.

You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available for work.

We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days.

We generously give 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be damned if you are going to take that day off!

A Dead Ringer!

The Hunchback of Notre Dame croaks so they need to find a new bell-ringer.

A guy with no arms comes along and says he can do it.
"But you've got no arms... you can't do this job!" says the church leader.
The new applicant shouts back - "Sure I can... I'll do it with my mouth!"

So the church hires him and he starts his bell-ringing duties the next day.
He begins ringing the bell using only his mouth, but the bell is so heavy, it tosses him out the window to the ground and splatters him dead.

He's lying dead on the ground and a big crowd gathers around him.
"Who is that guy?" one person says.

"I don't know says another, but his face sure rings a bell..."

A Dent in the Pile!

An Italian, an Irishman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site.

The foreman points to a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy, "You're in charge of sweeping."
To the Irishman he says "You're in charge of shovelling."
To the Chinese guy, "You're in charge of supplies."

He then says "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that there pile."

So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, but when he returns the pile of sand is untouched.

He says to the Italian: "Why didn't you sweep any of it!?"
The Italian replies in a heavy accent, "I no gotta broom, an' you tella me dat de Chinese'a guy supposa bringa da supplies, but he disappear and I no finda him."

Then the foreman turns to the Irishman and asks why he didn't shovel. The Irishman replies in his heavy brogue, "Aye, ye did lad, but I counna get meself a shovel. Ye left the Chinese guy in charge of supplies, but I counna fin' him."

The foreman is really angry now, and storms off toward the pile of sand looking for the Chinese guy.

Just then, the Chinese guy springs out from behind the pile of sand and yells...

!!"Supplies"!!

A Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, a beautiful, independent, self assured princess
happened upon a frog in a pond. The frog said to the princess, "I
was once a handsome prince until an evil witch put a spell on me.
One kiss from you and I will turn back into a prince and then we can
marry, move into the castle with my mom and you can prepare my
meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and forever feel happy
doing so."

That night, while the princess dined on frog legs, she kept laughing and saying, "I don't think so."

The Godfather

Maker: Electronic Arts
Genre: Historic Action Adventure
Release Date: 21st Mar 2006
Rating: 4/5
Screenshots

This is a game made on the superhit hollywood movie "The Godfather" in the year 1972. Most of us were not even born at that time but we do know that Ram Gopal Verma's "Sarkar" was on the same concept.
The game feature a great level of resemblance with the movie. The charaters of the game and that of the movie are same. The storyline too follows the same patten. To insert the missions the storyline is disturbed a little but that surely adds the entertainment value to the game.
The faces in the game are exact to the actors of the film. The voice and the expressions are matched to the extent that in some cutscenes we feel that we are watching an animated version of the film.
The 70s theme and the cars are adapted very well. The length of the game is really long giving you many hours of pure playing pleasure.
The sounds and the music of the game is copied well from the movie. The soundtracks of the movie has been taken in the game and also the background music is used when a cutscene is going on or on a mission. In all the music make the game relate to the movie for your eyers.
The game is more like GTA (Grand Thieft Auto) in the 70s. The game is very much like any GTA game and fails to provide novelty. The game lacks a little in this area. There are side missions similar to GTA and Gun with the main gameplay but as usual no one would bother to play them when you are playing the main storyline.
The game surely is the topper in the month and earns the deserved rating. It is surely a must try if you like action games but if you prefer racing sims or business games this is not the one for you.

Counter Strike: Condition Zero

Counter Strike: Condition Zero
Half-Life was the first game launched in the series followed by the best multiplayer game yet, Counter Strike. As a multiplayer game it had everything a gamer need. But what to do if there are no players in the parlor or if you are sitting at home and no one else to play with. In India we do not have fast internet speed at all the places to play the game on the Internet. You purchased a game for Rs.999 and now all the money gone in drain “Sara paisa pani mein mil gaya”.

So what you do is download free add-on software like K-bot, etc which add computer players as your opponents and your teammates. Some programs do not run, some become extremely slow and only few such programs work properly.

Counter Strike: Condition Zero comes with a feature where you can add such bots (computer controlled players). The only other good thing about Condition Zero is that it is a stand-alone which means it does not require any other game as a base like counter-strike required half-life.

A very basic game and lacks mission objectives. Only two types of missions:
1. Hostage rescue - Counter Terrorists
2. Bomb Planting – Terrorists
You can choose to be a terrorist or a counter terrorist (CT). Depending on it you have your goals. Select the number of bots which can join either team randomly or on your will. There is a bit of customizing which you can do regarding the rounds, time limit, etc.

As a whole it will give you a good game play for about 25hours after which you will start searching for some other options if you have played the earlier counter strike games.

Power Gamer Rating: 4/5

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The new game of GTA Series is back with the name " GTA SA - Grand Theft Auto San Andreas ". As of its old games you are in a role of criminal. The Main Charatcer of this SA is Carl Johnson as CJ who just returned from jail. The Story starts from a small hood in a small town and then ends up with 3 cities "Los Santos, San Fiero and San Ventures" and some of the hills where CJ have to do lot of missions.


The New Additions in the game is about the Girlfriends. There are 6 Girlfriends for CJ in the game from which you can find couple of them in missions and rest of them you have to find it manually. The Other Addition about game is the Hoods, you can start gang wars with other gang hoods and then can win their hood and other gangs can also win your hood by wars. As of the cars in last GTA Series there are lot of new cars in it and additional point there is bikes and even bycycles, with some of the choppers, aeroplanes and army planes.


In SA as of its GTA series some of the missions are so easy that you can clear it without any trouble but some missions are so difficult that you have to try it again and again to clear that mission. There are also some mini games of poker and star wars in SA which you can play a visit fo CASINO or some other places like that. And also with that some dancing activities and car dancing is included in the game.


But the game has been banned in some of the countries (even in India) due to some sexual contents and violance. The Game Includes HOT COFFEE mode which has some pornography which was first implimated but in final version it is not included, although you can access that scenes with a patch thats why government bans this game.


However the game also includes some bugs like cars crashes peoples dont know how to drive cars and bikes in game, and like time runs fast as of normal time but still GTA SA is the good game to play in recent time.

I respect game development studios. Theirs is an enviable job, to be sure. They take their passions for gaming that took root when they were young, enthralled by the games of days gone by, and strive to tell new stories to the gamers of today. Now, as in all things, there are those that do this job better than others - as we all know, there are good games, and there are bad games - but there are a choice few studios who set the standard by consistently producing not just good games, but great games. Blizzard Studios is one such developer.

From the company's first truly successful title, WarCraft, Blizzard earned its stripes, dominating the RTS and RPG genres by sticking to a tried and true method - not releasing a game before it's done. When highly anticipated games like StarCraft, Diablo II, and WarCraft III (along with all of the expansion modules) were in development, Blizzard always took the extra time to go over every detail, squash every bug, and take the time needed to make sure the game was done right.

The formula is this: Build the game. Test it MERCILESSLY in-house, squash the bugs, and then release a wide beta that will give you an idea of what the unwashed masses will do to the game, squash those bugs, rinse, repeat, wipe hands on pants. After all that is completed, then release the game and sit back and count the truckloads of cash that come pouring in from a job well done.

And for the most part, the formula works. Even when they shift to new genres, they take their time, meticulously learning the lessons needed to bring a great game to life, and to that end, Blizzard has yet to make a game that isn't very, very good.

So here we are, in the golden days of massively multiplayer gaming. The RTS world was set on its ear with Blizzard's offering of WarCraft III, and its follow-up expansion pack, The Frozen Throne, so the logical next move would be to convert the WarCraft world into an MMORPG to continue the story, with the world of Azeroth rendered in beautiful detail. For years, Blizzard labored to bring to life an MMORPG worthy of carrying the name WarCraft.

But even with the formula applied, Blizzard forgot about one critical factor that every MMORPG takes for granted. The players.

Mind you, Blizzard is no newcomer to scores of people playing on its servers. Blizzard runs hundreds of thousands of players daily through its Battle.Net system, hosting characters for the Diablo series, as well as hosting games on WarCraft and StarCraft, so they know what it takes to please the masses, but never have they tackled a project with such a vast scope as to render an entire world for the exclusive use of its players in real-time. A difficult task - probably the toughest challenge Blizzard has faced to date - so the question is, does the formula still hold true?

So, with that in mind, let's take a good hard look at the World of WarCraft, shall we?

The game takes place in the world of Azeroth, several years following the conclusion of WCIII: The Frozen Throne, with both continents of the world fully populated, and the détente between the Alliance and the Horde gone by the wayside. King Arthas, having merged with the Lich King, is holed up on the Frozen Throne of Icecrown. The former undead Scourge, now calling themselves the Forsaken, have cast their lot with Thrall, and are allied with the Horde, while the Alliance is bringing in the ancient Night Elves to help them rebuild their ravaged land. It is a time of uncertainty and chaos, and both the Alliance and the Horde need strong heroes to step forward and defend their lands from any and all who would threaten their respective ways of life. The lines of good and evil have been grayed beyond distinction, with the Alliance no longer being as "good" as they once touted themselves as, and the Horde showing their deep commitment to honor makes them not as "evil" as everyone thinks they are. Both sides find themselves on equal moral ground as they cling to their homelands.

Players can step into the shoes of any of the eight races, with the Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes and Night Elves on the Alliance side, or the Orcs, Trolls, Undead and Tauren of the Horde. Once you choose your race, it is then time to select a class dependant on which race you choose. After that, it's off to the races, with each person making his/her own way in the world.

Visually speaking, the game is gorgeous, with the entire continent seamlessly displayed as you explore new locations. You can move from a bustling city directly into the field, entering new zones with no loading times whatsoever. The only time the game reloads for any purpose is when you teleport, enter an instance dungeon or switch continents. Other than that, you can run from one end of the world to the next with no downtime. The player models are beautiful, detailed and dressed to the nines, and are very smoothly animated. There are some clipping issues between the models and the terrain, but when you have that many models running around, some of that is to be expected. The spell effects are modest, and aren't as brilliant as in WCIII, and I believe this was done to trim bandwidth more than anything else, but in all honesty they look pretty dang good. They get the job done nicely without overly taxing your system.

The audio quality is decent as well, bringing all the sounds of battle to the forefront with relatively good quality. They do a fine job of tying the whole game experience together nicely. They're not overly well done, nor are there the customary Blizzard voice-overs. If every NPC were voiced, the game would weigh in at three to five times the current size of the game, which weighs in at a good 4GB.

But let's not kid ourselves here, boys and girls. The burning question on your minds is how well does the game actually play? You've all heard the rumors and complaints about the overwhelming lag, but are these just speed bumps on the road that leads to a great game, or are they insurmountable obstacles that great storytelling can't overcome?

Well, the answer is…both. Sort of.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted

Need For Speed: Most WantedDeveloper: Electronic Arts
Publisher: EA Games
Genre: Racing Simulation
Rating: 4/5

play Need for Speed 2 SE. The launch of the latest Need for Speed in end 2005 has given hardcore gamers a new reason to smile.
The game is called Most Wanted which means we expect the return of the cops. This time the cops are not going to go down so easily. EA (The developers of NFS series) has claimed that the gameplay can remind you of a hollywood seen in a movie. Hollywood style cop chase with spike strip, road block and police chopper hovering above. Become the heros from "The Fast and the Furious" or take on the speed with "Gone in 60 seconds".
There will be stunts to perform in the free rome world. There will be days and nights in the game just as we saw it in GTA:VC and GTA:SA. We can only race during night times and for the day time there are a lot of things to do just as we had in Need for Speed: Underground 2.
Gamers loved the sports cars in all the titles till HP2 and then missed them in Underground 1 & 2. Guess what?? sports cars are also in now. Looking at the screenshots of the game reviled so far we have seen Carrera GT BMW M5 and Chevi, Lotus comes back from 6 and Audi TT will also feature in NFS:MW. The sum of street cars as well as sports cars will make the game look very good. We have not seen or heard about any Ferrari of a McLaren yet but we do have Carrera GT. In India Ferrari is the most fav sports car due to F1 but sorry folks no news of the scarlet speeder till now.
Looking at the game from an Indian prespective it should do good in the Indian markets with price app Rs.999 to Rs.1499. With a good gameplay and still keeping the Free Rome Mode, good list of cars and Customise, Good Music (Which all previous NFS games has) and The Cops the game should be a good deal.

Age of Empires III will offer gamers the next level of realism, with advanced battle physics and unparalleled visual detail. The new game picks up where Age of Empires II: Age of Kings left off, placing gamers in the position of a European power determined to explore, colonize and conquer the New World.

Age of Empires III will excite strategy gamers with new game-play elements, including the concept of a “Home City,“ new civilizations, units, technologies and an immersive new single-player campaign that will span three generations.

Name change

Paul saw someone in the street he recognized as his friend Woodall.

“Woodall,” he said, “what happened to you? You used to be fat and now you’re thin. You used to have hair and now you’re bald. You used to have perfect eyesight and now you wear glasses.”

The man looked at him in astonishment.

“Listen, sir, my name is not Woodall. It’s Wain.”

“Oh!” Paul exclaimed. “You’ve changed your name too!”

Gonorrhea or Chardonnay

The mother superior of a convent was worried. She called her community of nuns together and said: “Sisters, I have grave news. We have found a case of Gonorrhea here in our convent…”

“Thank The Lord,” came the cry from one of the older members of the community. “I’m getting sick of Chardonnay!”
