If you are a gamer and you haven’t already, you should really check out The Dark Mod. The Dark Mod is a Doom 3 total conversion that looks to emulate the “Thief” game series, creating a Thief-like game experience without stepping on anyone’s copyrights. When finished it will include rich features for player created […]

That was quick, someone is already developing a Linux distribution for the Nintendo Wii. It sounds like it is based off of Gamecube Linux, which makes sense since much of the Wii’s technology is built off of the existing Gamecube tech. Should be interesting too see what happens with this.

Blender Newbies is a wonderful site with newbie-focused Blender tutorials. Check it out!

I just found this neat project on Source Forge:
Alchemi is an open source software framework that allows you to painlessly aggregate the computing power of networked machines into a virtual supercomputer (desktop grid) and to develop applications to run on the grid.
Of course even if you are able to come up with a project that […]

That’s right, Electric Sheep is a open-source screen saver that shares patterns over a peer-to-peer network. These “sheep” are voted upon by Electric Sheep users and the most popular ones “breed” with each other spawning all new “sheep”. Kind of interesting huh?

I think I would really enjoy their software, unfortunately it will probably be more than a decade before I have enough extra […]

Voodoo Extreme reports:
Sierra Entertainment today announced that the multiplayer component from the award winning PC title F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon), has been renamed F.E.A.R. Combat, and will be made available to the public as a free download on Thursday August 17th, 2006.
F.E.A.R. is a great game with a wonderful single-player campaign. The multi-player […]

Wood Workshop is a nifty freeware program for generating wood texture. I haven’t had a chance to download and try it myself yet, but it looks promising.

UIRA (UIRA Isn’t a Recursive Acronym) looks like it will be a great project if it continues. It is an open-source Flash IDE that is currently in development (it also will produce SVG files too). There are binaries you can download, but the current version, version 0.0.1b doesn’t do anything (literally, if […]
