Teacher tackles gunman
Posted: Feb 24 2010, 09:31 PM Forum Act I: Chit-Chat Hangout View full topic
From BBC News: A teacher has been hailed a hero after tackling a man accused of opening fire at a school in the US city of Denver. Maths teacher David Benke brought down Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood, 32, who has been charged with attempted murder. The 6.5ft (1.96m) former college basketball player pinned Mr Eastwood to the ground after he allegedly opened fire with a rifle, injuring two pupils. Police said the actions of Mr Benke and another teacher almost certainly prevented worse bloodshed. Mr Eastwood was bailed for $1m during a brief court hearing on Wednesday. Mr Benke's intervention has been widely praised, with a fan-page on the social networking website Facebook attracting more than 20,000 followers. Among the hundreds of messages posted on the site, one posted by Sherry Erhardt Wynne read: "You saved lives of innocent children, and as a parent, I say thank you. And way to go!" Another, posted by Jake Woodzboy Dodenhoff, read: "It's people like you that this world needs." 'Struggling around' The teacher, who was on duty in the car park at Deer Trail Middle School in Littleton, said he went to investigate after he heard what sounded like a firework. "Unfortunately he got another round off before I could grab him," said Mr Benke of his efforts to tackle the suspect. "He figured out that he wasn't going to be able to get another round chambered before I got to him so he dropped the gun and then we were kind of struggling around trying to get him subdued." One of the injured pupils is said to be "doing well" in hospital, while the other was discharged after being treated. Cy-Commentary: Get this, this happened in Littleton, Colorado where Columbine gunman Eric Harris lived. Aside from that, let me say that this guy has balls of steel, and I'm not exaggerating in the Duke Nukem fashion. Mr. Benke saved countless lives by doing this and prevented another Columbine scenario. Of course if Mr. Benke were legally allowed to carry a sidearm in a school building, and if he was properly trained and ready to deter the shooter with the threat or deployment (last resort of course) of deadly force, this'd be over a lot faster without the two causalities. Goes to show you gun-haters out there:

According to SEGA's website, it is out: But Steam's not releasing it until the 25th for PC, which is technically false advertisement on Steam/Valve's part. There was just allegations of this sort of thing on Steam's forums when some users who'd loaded Napoleon Total War (another SEGA game) up when it launched today, then were later locked out of it, told the release date was the 26th (when it was indeed today) until Steam fixed it. Lot of refunds and potential ones had gone on. Gamestop however says it ships today. SEGA says its out. I'd go with what SEGA says.

Napoleon: Total War

Developer: The Creative Assembly Publisher: SEGA Genre: Military Real-Time/Turn-Based Strategy Hybrid Release Date: February 23, 2010 Number of Players: 1 (Single Player campaign/skirmish), 2-8 (multiplayer battles and possibly campaign) Platforms: PC - Microsoft Windows Minimum Requirements: Operating Systems - Windows XP/Vista/7 Processor - Single Core 2.3 GHz Intel or AMD CPU that supports SSE2 RAM - 1 GB of RAM (Windows XP), 2 GB of RAM (Windows Vista/7) Graphics Card - DirectX 9.0C compatible video card with at least 256 MB of graphics memory and support for Shader Model 2.0B DirectX Version - 9.0c Hard Drive Space - 21 GB Reccommended Requirements: Operating Systems - Windows XP/Vista/7 Processor - Dual-Core 2.6 GHz (5.2 GHz total) Intel or AMD CPU RAM - 2 GB of RAM (Windows XP), 4 GB of RAM (Windows Vista/7) Graphics Card - DirectX 9.0C compatible video card with at least 256 MB of graphics memory and support for Shader Model 3.0 My System: Operating System - Windows XP Professional Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-53 (1.8 GHz Dual-Core with a total core output of 3.6 GHz) RAM - 4 GB of RAM (3.5 GB addressed by Windows XP due to 32-bit addressing mode limitations) Graphics Card - ATI Radeon Mobility 2600 HD with 256 MB of graphics memory and support for Shader Model 3.0 I'd pre-ordered Napoleon a few weeks ago, having anticipated it after playing Empire: Total War. The Napoleonic Wars and the 19th century itself is a time I'm most influenced by as far as my personal culture. I've wondered many a time if I was meant to be fighting alongside the redcoats rather than sitting in front of the computer. Well now I can do the next best thing. Napoleon: Total War is the next offering in UK based developer "The Creative Assembly"'s Total War series. However it is not without its controversy. What we have here is basically a polished version of Empire: Total War. Polished because it offers several graphical and gameplay improvements from its predecessor. Originally the sky was the limit with the requirements for Empire's performance. I noticed a bit of lag with my laptop in Empire, even with my graphical settings in the Low-Medium range, which was later solved by an update. Napoleon however ran smoothly as soon as it was run. I was drawn into a 2v2 game and didn't encounter the lag I'd hated in Empire. On the gameplay side, Napoleon offers a multiplayer campaign, which was supposed to be a feature touted in Empire, but has still yet to appear in a beta stage. I've not tried the multiplayer campaign element myself, but it is my belief that you can go with or against your friends as separate factions alongside the feature that allows you to have a human opponent "drop in" and take control of A.I forces. As far as the single player element, Napoleon offers two full campaigns and what I deem to be a mini campaign, and finally the typical TW staple: skirmish mode. The two full campaigns consist of one that involves leading France to victory, while the other consists of controlling a faction in the historical Coalition that faced Napoleon. The mini campaign "Napoleon's Battles" has no actual campaign elements like in the main campaigns, but consists of several tactical missions linked together. Interface: 9/10 - The only qualm I have is that they changed the interface to be a long bar at the bottom of the screen, which threw me off from Empire and Medieval II. However there's now a better mini-map that even shows topography Graphics: 10/10 - It's eye candy if you can crank your system up to meet the engine's needs. It's eye candy even at the Low-Medium range. No more "Clone Armies" as in previous TW titles Gameplay: 9/10 - It's typical Total War, requiring you to have a sharp tactical mind and organization to go with it. The only qualm here is that it comes bundled with Steam, which is needed to get the ball rolling. The same happened with Empire, but at the same time, Steam was where Empire DLC was offered. One other little quibble (to me) is that in Naval skirmishes, don't bother looking for HMS Victory if you're playing as Great Britain, for it is (disappointingly) not there, probably waiting to become DLC as it had in Empire's Special Forces DLC. What's Trafalgar without Nelson's flagship? But at the same time, you now have a choice of who you choose to be the General of your ground forces in Land skirmish modes. Blank out your entire army, and you'll have several choices ranging from the generic General Staff (from Empire) to the likes of the Duke of Wellington and even Napoleon himself. One out of two CA? Story 10/10 - The Napoleonic Age? What else could be a more epic story next to the World Wars? Add in the narration from French actor Stephane Cornicard mixed in with CA's CGI-cutscenes, and you have immersion. Sound 10/10 - Cannon shot, muskets and rifles along with period music, and the mass variation in your army and navy's crew voices. A good old standby from Empire. Total Score: 90 out of 100 (90%) All in all, despite the controversial inclusion of Steam, and the steep price of $39.99, $49.99 for the Imperial Edition (though rumor has it you can get either the Imperial or Limited Edition for $39.95 retail some places), it's a worthy successor to Empire in my eyes.

The following is advice from a licensed IT professional! Just remember that this is a risky procedure that will change core system files. I've actually screwed up a procedure like this (Yes, I am human and I can err like anyone else xP). So word to the wise, backup anything important to removable media (DVDs, CDs, external hard drives, etc.) before you toy with any of this stuff. Make sure that you have genuine Windows media and a legitimate license key in case you need to reinstall it. Also make sure that you know that you're doing this at your own risk. Bowie and anyone else that advocates this procedure cannot be held responsible or liable for any damage done.
