Russian top teams, Metallurg Magnitogorsk and Slovan Bratislava is poised to face 07 sm gold winner Modo Hockey in 2008 years Europe cup.
Only one team goes on to meat the winner from the other group, and i guess both Modo and both russian teams had wished they played in the second group, which looks far easier, anyway, great games to look forward to for hockey fans from all over the world.

ps3.scea ceo speaks up
great qoute that realy says it all about the future for ps3.
"We fully realize that past success is no guarantee of future success, but it does give you some perspective. We have to bring the games to market that will showcase what the PS3 can do and ultimately entertain you like no other games have. We need to provide proof of what the PS3 can do for you and work tirelessly to improve the value and justify your investment. At the end of the day, it's always been about the games. To push the boundaries of gaming beyond where they currently lie takes a great deal of risk. I think all the hardware manufacturers are doing that in some way. We could have easily produced PlayStation 2.5 at a slightly increased price over the older model, and driven some nice profits and marginal innovation for a few years but that's not how we got where we are today. You have to gamble and make major investments in the present that will pay dividends in the future."
i know one things for sure and that´s the simple fact that i´ve enjoyed our ps3 alot more this early in it´s lifespan then either ps1,ps2 or my old xbox, heck im getting alot more out of our ps3 then our pc´s (work related stuff put aside of course :P).
And sure i would have loved to see 100x more launch games, but heck that has never, ever happend with any console launch ever and ps3 brings so much more then just games to the show +, in my honest opinion, the launch games were better then the ones ps1 and ps2 had (and both xbox consoles), but of course, gamers will always complain, it´s just part of nature and has always happened for every single console and pc, heck every single hardware launch for a pc,mac get´s poluted the same way aswell, there´s always going to be a certain % that wants more or just see flaws.
anyway, ps3 had a great launch and is maturing better then i had ever believed, cant wait to see what has happend in 6 month :)

ps3.update 1.81
yep that´s right a new firmware update is already out,on the way, havent turned on our ps3 today so im not sure if it´s been released or not, anyway, it´s great to see sony pushing out firmware updates and a regular high pace mode.
this one fixes a small bug with the recent rgb full mode for hdtvs that´s connected through a hdmi cable to your ps3(which of course everyone that has a hdtv makes sure to do since hdmi is the only way to realy experience hdtv on any hdtv capable console).

ps3.the free motorstorm update gets a slight bump

odin.the tiger
great looking pictures and a testimony to the beauty of life.

be sure to check the vivid photos of this diving tiger, to cute, that´s for sure.

id.tech 5 engine video
A new game engine from id is always neat, their own games might have been lackluster the last few years as far as game evolvement goes, but their engines are still being made good use of for other games by other dev´s.
And titles like et:quake wars look real tempative, and so does the new game engine labled id.tech 5.
an early demo video made in a few weeks just for the carmach speech shows of a very promising new game engine, cant wait to see what others dev´s will do with it and if it will finaly allow id to awake from it´s creative slumber, and once again deliver something inovative and addictive like q1,q2 and q3 was back in it´s days.
check it out
btw: is it just me or is the tech 5 video extremely motorstorm inspired, it atleast looks like motorstorm was used for inspiration,foundation.

modo. golden rain of financial success
modo was last seasons big winner, in every term imaginable.
they won the sm.gold, they had the biggest financial profit of all elitserien teams, and they dubled up their revenue...
Not to mention that they finaly got a new arena, and what a new great place to call home! Modo hockey also saw it´s home audience rise from the ashes and once again deserver the good ol saying, swedens most one eyed audience, hell yeah!!
what a great year.
anyway, this post was about the financial side of things and modo aparently made around 11 million in pure profit last year, thumbs up modo hockey and make sure to keep the momentum now.

nhl. anaheim brought home the cup
and a big hooray for samme, it´s always nice to see a modo player taking home something big, and he´s always been one of my fav players, a hard working, ass kicking player that doesnt make much headlines, but he´s always there doing his work better then most.
cheers

surface: microsoft powered "the island living room table"
not entirely true tho not far from it.
And, still a hell of a, to the point website presentation and touch has a very, very high "i want one for our living room" factor :)
If it would ever get released with a better looking bottom half of the table i would pick one up for our living room in a hearbeat, that´s for sure.
