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.

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.

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.
