Having hosted a few in my time. I’m in awe of the dedication this guy has for implementing a technical masterpiece.
I caught this blog earlier: http://kentonsprojects.blogspot.com/. And went ho hum. At least until he published the technical specs.
A highlight for me was the server based game OS image is distributed to each LAN PC via PXE NetBoot. NERD HEAVEN!
So if you have time to watch this you should. To put it simply my reactions started off like wow that is cool, closely followed by WTF and ending in an all rounded shock and awe.
Nana-nana nana-nana nana-nana-na — BATMAN!
Seen spiii playing nothing butBatman Arkham City and wondered—“is he gonna spend the whole Summer of Ben 2011 playing only one game?” Perhaps. But is it a game for everyone? There is only one way to find the answer—switch on detective mode, it’s time to compare heroines!
| Weapon of choice | |
|---|---|
 This kitty has claws |  Zoey’s trademark pistols |
| Shoes make the man | |
 Knee-high kickers |  Runners |
| The hunt is on! | |
 Catwoman is a hunter |  Zoey is the hunted |
| All tied up | |
 Catwoman ties ’em up |  Zoey is constricted! |
| Kiss the boys and make them cry | |
 Kiss + trip critical strike |  Not that again! |
| Best in Lego | |
 Official Batman Lego and an official Lego Batman game |  Minifig excellence—but no Lego game! |
| Best fan video | |
| Stunt studio remake | Fake movie trailer |

 Arkham thug: [window shatters offscreen] It’s Batman! [Catwoman walks into view] Arkham thug: What the h**l? Catwoman: Sorry to disappoint you boys. It’s just little ol’ me. |  Francis: Hey, watch out for that Steam pipe. Zoey: Man, I love Steam. Francis: Yeah, Steam’s alright, I guess. |
So isBatman Arkham City worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?)
If saying “I’m Batman!” every day to friends, family and social networks is as important to you as it is to me, then you are probably Bajo yes.
All,
For those of you that have made the jump and pre-ordered The Old Republic from Amazon, I have some good news.
You can now download the game client so that you are ready to play the moment it launches! And with early access invites being sent out from 13th of December it will be a very merry Christmas.
And for those of you that didn’t pre-order, you can suck it.
That is all,
Ali

FIVE of Australia’s largest internet service providers have volunteered their help in policing infringements by their customers in a major reversal of tactics in the copyright wars.
The about-face comes just days before the High Court is due to hear an appeal by a group representing many of the largest entertainment industry rights holders in Australia against a Federal Court judgment in February that found telco iiNet was not responsible for copyright infringement by its clients.
Telecommunications industry group the Communications Alliance has released a proposal for a trial scheme under which it would send “education notices” to customers suspected of infringing copyright by uploading or downloading content such as movies, television shows, computer games and music.
This would be followed by up to three warning notices in a 12-month period. If a user continued to infringe, the copyright holder would be able to seek user details from the ISP, allowing them to institute legal action.
The signatories to the Australian proposal are Telstra BigPond, Optus, iiNet, iPrimus and Internode.
The Communication Alliance claims educational and warning notices could be extremely effective, as has been the experience in France with its three-strikes policy.
