I support the Occupation of Wall Street and wish that there was more media attention given to the story, but this photo that I saw on Facebook is a Photoshop fake.

Subdeatechate, a band that misses old-school video game sound tracks and loves HomeStarRunner. Sounds like a winner to me.
I completed Gridlock, all 40 levels. I was bummed that there was no fanfare at the end. The game just waits for level 41 to load. It was a lot of fun and levels 39 and 40 were definitely the hardest. I've been a big fan of the Binary Arts games for a long time and Crystal New Media did a great job recreating this game.
I received this nice email from my better half.
Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in the overall performance – particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate
Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.
Try to enter the command: C:I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME to download Tears 6.2, which should automatically install Guilt 3.0.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create Snoring Loudly.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.
You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck,
Tech Support
I'v completed a fair amount of F1 2002 and I really need to post some notes on my current game status. Hopefully, I'll do that this week. I have to say that playing with the wheel has totally improved my game. The amount of control is greatly improved and the improved range of the gas and throttle makes the game seem a lot more real. I've found that updating the wheel configuration so that the wheel and pedals use the full range of motion gives the maximum amound of control and this really allows for some fine driving adjustments.
I enjoyed playing SOCOM but I decided to get rid of it. I'm wasn't playing it enough and I traded it for EA Sports F1 2002.
Is this the home of the future?
Initial D Arcade is another great resource for this awesome racing game. The site also features listings of where you can find the game.

I played a new racing sim from Sega this weekend at the Sony Metreon. It is called Initial D and it's super cool. Here are a few links with more info about the game. Around the World, D-Initial World, Sega Rosso (in Japanese).
