Dragon Age: Origins is the project BioWare is set to release next, in the run up to Christmas and with the development studio well known for its complex story lines, gamers have set it high standards when it comes to the narrative of the videogame. So, it's a good thing to see one of the people working on Dragon Age claiming that good writing is essential to the experience which titles, in general, and role playing games, in particular, are delivering.Mike Laidlaw, who is the lead designer on Dragon Age, told Destructoid that “In terms of how important it is I'd say it's vital, and I think where certainly there's been huge successes are games that embrace the understanding that ultimately the gaming medium is defined by interactivity and reactivity, as opposed to narrative. A game that forces me down a single path and has no options or any sense that I'm actually affecting the world leaves me a little bit colder than a game that actually has some sort of interaction.â€La!

HTTP:: Test Drive of Spri Linux Beta
--------
Spri Linux is a lightweight Ubuntu remix that gears toward speed and uses the IceWM window manager to achieve that goal. Clearly, IceWM requires less resources than its bigger siblings, like GNOME and KDE, it's even lighter than XFCE, in fact you could probably put it in the same category with LXDE. Having that Ubuntu base means that Spri Linux benefits from the well-known hardware compatibility, package management and support that the popular distro has amassed in time. The Spri Beta 2.11 version is based on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and comes in a 340MB ISO file, quite close in filesize to the Lubuntu beta that we wrote about last week. Nothing special kernel-wise, it's the default 2.6.28-15 kernel that is in Ubuntu right now, and IceWM's version is 1.2.37. While booting the operating system, you will definitely notice the lack of a splash screen, usplash or otherwise, and probably some errors about kernel wlan modules. The installer is the same one used in Ubuntu,!
I won't give you any special cues on the installation process itself, because it really can't get much easier than it already is. The login screen is provided by slim, and it's pretty simple and elegant. The default IceWM desktop is also simple, themed in light colors, and it features a Conky instance centered at the top of the screen...

Windows 7 is less than two months away from its official debut, but the Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft still has a couple of products that need to be announced before this year's holiday shopping season. Such is the case with the new Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000, designed to work exclusively with Bluetooth-enabled notebook and desktop computer systems. According to Microsoft, the new keyboard, which has been designed to address the consumers' demand for a comfortable and portable accessory, ships as its thinnest keyboard ever, being just a few millimeters thicker than an AAA battery.“The design tenets of compact, clean and refined really set the stage for the success of the keyboard,†Chris Kujawski, industrial designer for Microsoft Hardware, said. “There is nothing extraneous about the design.

In what looks like somewhat of an early move, Apple has taken down its online store to update it with whatever it plans on introducing at today’s event hosted at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. With the price cuts posted earlier today for three of the company’s iPods (nano, classic and touch), the entire industry is expecting Apple to introduce not one, but several new iPod models, all equipped with extra hardware and, implicitly, capable of doing new things. However, as much as some would like to support rumors that new iPods are launching today, trusty sources have confirmed to both AppleInsider and HardMac that the new line of iPods could be delayed due to technical issues. Citing a person with a strong track record in predicting Apple's product launches, the former site reveals that Apple “has experienced technical problems (bad parts) with the cameras modules.†According to the person talking to AppleInsider, it is uncertain whether the !

Not many fans of famed director Robert Rodriguez took it kindly when he became romantically involved with “Grindhouse†star Rose McGowan, especially since they guessed she would get cast in many of his movies in the future. Still, the “Red Sonja†project, scheduled for release in 2010, did manage to get their hopes high, despite having McGowan as the lead. Now, the film has been put on hiatus, Fox News informs. It seems the red-headed actress is a fan of doing her own stunts, or, at least, those that are easier to do. In doing so, McGowan injured herself and had to undergo surgery where doctors had to cut part of her elbow out, as the actress puts it. Now, “Red Sonja,†the comic-book adaptation about the fiery she-devil, has been put on hold while McGowan recuperates from surgery. “I had wrist and elbow surgery and they took part of my elbow out.

Going to show that men are not immune to this, Doherty is now saying that he too went through a similar experience of denial when he turned 30 back in March, when he even attempted to take his own life by jumping off the roof of a hotel. “I had this bash in Paris and it was an absolute disgrace.

It's not only the most popular, as it also enjoys a solid lead, with the runner-up Yahoo only managing to hold users' attention for three hours and 23 minutes. The rest of the pack is even further behind, but more closely packed, as users spent, on average, two hours and 36 minutes on AOL, followed by Fox Interactive Media (MySpace) with two hours and 19 minutes and Microsoft's MSN with two hours and eight minutes.

HTTP:: No DLC for Halo 3 ODST

Bungie is saying that there's a very good chance Halo 3: ODST, which is set to be released on September 22 exclusively on the Xbox 360, will not be getting any downloadable content mainly because of the work that development studio needs to do on Halo: Reach, the prequel to the series that is set to arrive in 2010.The statements from Bungie came at the Penny Arcade Expo where a panel on ODST took place. Brian Jarrard, who is community lead on the title, said that “Obviously right now what we're excited about is the impending launch of ODST, so we don't want to totally start talking about next year's model before this one's even off the assembly line. But there is a beta that's coming next year, so all you've got to do is sit tight.â€He added that “If you want to be part of Reach from the very beginning then you want to make sure you keep an ODST disc handy.†His statement has been backed by Kars Bakken, who is the senior designer on Halo 3: ODST.The idea is that ODST!
is already a sort of add on for Halo 3 and Bungie, which has repeatedly said that its days of creating Halo-themed games are soon to be over, is already working on Reach, which is supposed to be as big as the original Halo 3 and ODST combined.The company is hoping that the 10 maps shipped with ODST will be enough to kee...

Matt Damon cut an impressive figure in all his “Bourne†films, with his chiseled pecs, well-defined abs and strong arms, but his fans will see another side of him when his latest film, “The Informant!,†comes out. For it, the actor had to gain about 30 pounds and he did so with the help of the ever-reliable junk food and beer, as he tells the Daily Mail at the Venice Film Festival. The star arrived in Venice for the premiere of the film and agreed to answer a couple of questions, the Mail says. Inevitably, someone also asked him whether he had any trouble gaining weight for the part and then, once the movie was done, shake it all off in order to return to normalcy. According to Damon, gaining the weight by gorging on junk food and having as many beers as a man can take is the hardest part, and not losing the weight and getting back in shape again, he jokes. Either way, Damon admits to having a lot of fun eating as much as he could. “It was very, very easy to g!
