The North American World of Warcraft Stress Test Beta is now open to all North American registered FilePlanet members (subscribers or free members)! Keys are limited to first come, first served!

I already got the spot! Yeehaw! Hopefully, the test beta starts after Symantec's Norton SystemWorks 2005 products go gold (crunch time ends).

Please post a reply if you're in! Maybe we can group up to play together?

Here is a funny video clip spoof (1 minute) of Got Milk's milk commercials on TV.

Classic Doom for Doom 3 is making a mod that reuses old classic DOOM 1 maps into DOOM 3 engine.

Click here to watch the video clip. And I thought *I* was bad when I do it myself. ;)

Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Silver Earring is a visual game that shows 'before' and 'after' picture of a crime scene. You will have to spot the differences (five clues per picture) within 90 seconds.

I couldn't passed the first level in finding the last item after two attempts. Sheesh, I must be too tired!! Finally, I noticed it. The second level was the same. I failed to find the last one. Good thing I am not working right now. [grin]

Whoever did this toy is a sicko!! 9011 number and a plane crashing into two buildings? It's so obvious! I hope whoever did this get his/her butt kicked!

[Ant presses F7 twice] GO! GO!

Download from 3D Gamers. I can't control myself. Help! :D~

I saw this funny /. comment with a photograph of army of one button mice. It was from the Hamster-Powered Night Light.

Lucky Linux UT2004ers, they get to download Linux port of Red Orchestra v3.0 mod for Unreal Tournament 2004.

Windows users can get it from FilePlanet or wait until the free public release.

ooooooh! Her shampoo!! It all makes sense now!!! =)

The Invisibility Game is a disappearing game. It's like one of those "how steady is your cursor" Flash games where you weave your mouse through tough obstacles. Except here, you can't see the mouse.

I only got up to level 2 and gave up after a few attempts. :(

CNN has a story about 20 years anniversary of PG-13 and how it was created/born from two Steven Spielberg's movies (Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom and Gremlins). I didn't know Gremlins was a factor.

News.com has a story about Nullsoft's Winamp skins having a security flaw...

Microsoft's online order form is back after being taken down a few weeks ago.

8/27/2004 8:05 AM PDT: BroadbandReports.com's security forum thread says it can be obtained from Staples and Best Buy stores.

According to SanDisk's press release for 8/23/2004, its compactflash memory card survived a blast that destroyed a digital camera. The photographer was nearly too close in attempting to photograph the dynamiting of a 76-year-old span on the Mississippi River.

There are amazing photographs and story in the PR. Wow.

The first and original trilogy for Star Wars will be released on DVD very soon (9/21/2004). Dark Horizons has a link to show the changes and comparisions between the original movie, Special Edition, and DVD version.

Can't wait. :)

Oh and my boss replied, "Does it mention how they replace all the blasters with walkie-talkies?" after I mentioned the link. [grin]

There is a /. story about this an interview with Alexander Yuvchenko. He, as a Chernobyl Engineer, was there during the night of the explosion and survived. He told about the incident with a fascinating recollection of some pretty heroic acts.

Reading it made me shudder and sad. Take your time to read it. It's good.

I saw this cool and cute Web site on UserFriendly's link of the day for 8/24/2004.

Ever seen a church made out of LEGO items that two real-life cats like to roam in? Someone built one. I was in awe how this guy built it and for his cat, that passed away a few years ago. There are photographs, sermons, and stories.

Wired tells the whole story why BugMeNot, a site that helps web users get around website registration roadblocks, went down a few days ago.
