If you haven`t seen it you need to. I set up a screening at last year`s Comic Con and I am looking at my schedule to see if I can see it again on the 11th.
SCREENER:
The second screener of the ASIFA award session hit my mailbox today. Meet the Robinsons is an already released DVD. Nothing wrong with that. Love the extra features on Realease DVDs. Please keep them coming. But, hint hint, I am still hoping for some on the unrealeased films too. You know who you are.
THE ARMY IS SPYING ON YOUR GAME:
Moving forward with my Gaming Curriculum I started to load America`s Army: Speial Forces today but stopped to read the license and found out that they load a little piece of spyware named PunkBuster along with the game. The idea behind PB is that it checks for hacks on Multi-Player games. And kicks the cheaters off the network.
The truth is that it opens up your system to anybody that wants to pull any data they want. There is a big stink in the Quake community because they have made PunkBuster a core part of their software. A number of people have quit playing Quake.
I was very uneasy with the whole war game as recruitment tool in the first place. (The truth is that the whole game is so buttoned up tight that most gamers loose it and frag the Sargent because they don`t get to shoot until after years of gametime training) Now this. Our goverment spying on us. Who could believe it?
Gods, when the army is data mining their prospective recruits. Keep us safe from those who say it is their job to keep us safe. Yes Alan, who will watch the Watchman.
