One of the main designers behind the game, Brian Wood, has unfortunately passed away. However, the way it happened is both tragic and truly heroic.

From the main source:

Quote:
“. . . In his final act he did the only thing that would save us,” said Wood, 31.

With an out-of-control Chevy Blazer bearing down on him, the 33-year old North Vancouver man braked and swerved his Subaru wagon so that he would take the force of the head-on collision, saving his wife of five years, pregnant with their first baby..

“All the policeman say that if we had hit the car head-on all of us would be dead. At the very last second (Brian) braked really hard and turned right so that he would be put in the path of the SUV and not me and the baby, and that is the only thing that saved us both.

“I am not going to waste the gift he gave us.”
I have absolutely nothing but total respect and reverence for this man. What he did was a truly selfless act, and that he was able to save his wife and unborn child from this complete distaster is nothing short of miraculous. It turns out the other driver and their fellow passengers were all on drugs. Two of them died with Brian. The driver is looking at three counts of vehicular homicide and one count of vehicular assault. It's difficult to predict the sentence which will be given for this, but some brief research would put it in the 20 year range, but possibly as high as 50 and as low as 5.

People who drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol are on my list of people that need to be sent away for life. It's needlessly stupid and hurts so many families each year. It's painful to keep reading this seemingly every week, and hopefully stricter sentences can be given out so this can be tackled once and for all.

A memorial trust has been set-up in Brian's name, and I urge you to donate to it when you can, as I will be when I can get hold of my card from home.

Not sure what budget is atm, but it's likely to be around or below about £700. Now, I don't know alot about laptops other than that the ASUS one's I've had in the past have been win.

I've found THIS one for a while, but I wondered if anyone had any better suggestions? It would mainly be used for work and media/music stuff with some casual gaming.

OK, I'm heading to uni on the 2nd October (Warwick to study Management before anyone asks the obvious) and if I'm honest, I'm a little daunted by the prospect, mainly on the social aspect seeing as I have spent the last 8 years of my life as a social recluse at an all-guys school and been out once in that time. That's not to say I'm a complete social tard (most of you know that from the i-series I've been at), but I'm not exactly the most comfortable around...well, people (not knowing what to say, getting kind of trailed off early).

Along with that, you have the bombardment of stuff to take in and adapt - living alone, so being responsible for upkeep and supplies, starting a new course that will likely melt my brain until my body has no head at all, along with trying to balance work/play (something I've never really done well until May this year) and other personal evolutions.

I've asked Chalex a couple times for tips on this (notably freshers week), but I know and I'm not the only person in this situation this year (along with several other nublets in the next few years), and there are a few people here that have been through their first year of uni, and I wondered if they would like to pass down all their wisdom to us nooblets. Any advice would be cool, from the obvious and stated, to the subtle and very unknown surprises. It can be about anything from what to expect from classes, note taking techniques and people you have to speak with in the first week to lame ass chat up lines that got you laughed out of the SU and what not to do with the errent cucumbers in the kitchen – all advice is good advice, assuming it doesn't involve ploughing your way through 10 shots of Sambooka and then ending up in the car park hugging your new best mate. ]]> Off Topic Oricalcos http://www.atkcommunity.com/threads/2664-Tips-for-the-start-of-uni-(Freshers-and-onwards) Riddle me this http://www.atkcommunity.com/threads/2663-Riddle-me-this?goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:15:07 GMT I have two lengths of string.

I might try installing Windows on the Other drive, and recover what I want to keep desparately onto a memory stick or something and then formatting and re-installing.

But tbh, I'd like to be able to fix this without a complete re-install, ideas? ]]> Help Forum Vicious Horizon http://www.atkcommunity.com/threads/2662-BOOTMGR-is-missing.

Last year it was announced that Duke Nukem Forever Is cancelled, But now Gearbox announced in the Pax Prime that it will continue the development itself.
Duke Nukem firstly entered to development in 1997 and was developed at the time by 3D Realms.

Anyways, should be in stores in at least a year. ]]> First Person Shooters (FPS) eTernity http://www.atkcommunity.com/threads/2661-Duke-Nukem-Forever-Will-Be-Developed-By-Gearbox 21 Today http://www.atkcommunity.com/threads/2660-21-Today?goto=newpost Sat, 04 Sep 2010 15:16:38 GMT Going raving.

Okay this thread is so we can sort out a time for training that is suitable for everyone.

First a little about what training will be like.

Training will consist of running through various maps that are used for competitive play, each map will be explained, with how to push as a team, attack, defend and individual class tactics. I would be pleased if people tried to attend or give me warning if they are going to miss it.


Training Times

So my intial idea is that we should go for Sunday at 8 pm, but thats up for change if people cant make it.

Thanks
