Hello All

Here to write about games that I find on the internet that are fun.

Many are pointed to me from friends, many I find on my own. New school year, New school, I should be getting all new links, or I will be at a school where no one likes games at all, and I will left to find this all on my own.

Taste Of Cool (cuil search engine)

Very simple pretty look, the black background looks nice with the blue search button and rounded text area box. The engine fast and gives results almost instantly. A great thing for them is after you have done a search, there is a preference link at the top of the page. so far there are only two options there, but in time I am positive they will include new applets that run with the site’s engine. This could be a good thing. I have yet to have found a “submit url” on the site, but I did find a link to talk to tech support, I did request a few things. When they reply I will be posting more on that subject. Yes I did cover a link submission. If they know what’s best and simplest for them, they will bring that option in. If they bring it in too soon, chances are we are looking at another crash like their launch. I can imagine all of the people flooding in to submit the links. All at once. The name is short and easy to type and remember. The place has huge potential of being the greatest. But I had to do a search.

First thing I had to do is a vanity search on cuil.

http://www.cuil.com/search?q=TruXter

I found links that are well over a year old and dead.

I found links from a blog I deleted nearly two years ago.

None of my current /recent projects showed up. (recent as in within the past year and a half.

When I got home I did a search for a Fire Alarm company in Houston that I built a website for

HiTech Fire Detection

But the results show a website that has been on a whole new server for about two months now.

http://www.cuil.com/search?q=hitech+fire+detection

The old long dead link, out ranks the fresh  clean actual page.

Try HiTech Integrated Solutions, Similar results.

Cuil needs to re-crawl pages and check for updates.

As of right now, Not quite the Google killer some have claimed. But really this company seems a bit more modest than that. They might just be a new search.

Add People to Your Myspace MyMobster List

Some people have been using a program for myspace mobster from a site mymobster.info.

My guess is you are giving away your myspace password. plus it’s just wrong and kind of a cheat, it’s like faking you have a bunch of friends. Obviously no one likes a cheater. then again, it’s a whole lot better than having a bunch of kids adding strangers to their friends list just to increase their mobster list.

I myself chose the old fashioned way

myspace.com/truxter add me and invite me

If you want, post yours here and let people invite you. There are alot of people who read this daily.

If you request an add, please leave a message saying MOBSTER with the request..

No more fees for Windows live gamers

Microsoft said late Tuesday that it will no longer charge a fee for PC game players who wish to connect with each other over the company’s Games For Windows Live online service.Games For Windows Live is “now offering completely free online multiplayer” service, Microsoft said in a statement posted on the service’s Web site. The company previously charged a monthly fee of $7.99. However, the emergence of several free online gaming services may have prompted Microsoft to drop the monthly charge.

Microsoft introduced the Games For Windows program last year in an effort to bring console-like dependability to the PC gaming market. Titles bearing the Games For Windows logo are guaranteed to be playable online or offline on systems that meet certain specifications, according to Microsoft

I will be passing this on to my kid. I found this on Digg.com

Biggest clue that GTAIV Will be on PC

I am quoting myself from a forum thread
on GTAFORUMS.COM

Ok now I have hope.
Rockstar games has done something they where not doing before.

Before now they had on their page “gtaiv out now”

but now it says “out now for xbox360 and ps3”
Wich is the way they used to do it , and that left a huge clue
that it was about to come out for more platforms.

I know that isn’t the biggest clue.

but try it, go to grand theft auto.com

and put your mouse over the gtaiv link and it will drop
a description.

To me this is great news..

Sorry if it isn’t the biggest for you guys.

but about 20 pages back, this was exactly opposite and I posted
a lack of hope.

Keep smiling folks, We might just get our way.
