Commercial Break: Battlefield 3 Griefing

Supposedly this is a semi-close to gold release of the Battlefield 3 game. Not the beta that everyone [including myself] has been complaining about. I do enjoy a good greifing session. Apparently, the user had time to play the multiplayer mode with DICE employees prior to the game's release and decided to record himself annoying his teammates. This is all speculation, but judging by the map and the way the game looks, I'd be willing to believe this is true.

However, if there was a DICE employee that called the player the n-word. Yo bro, dat ain't cool. Hopefully the game is as fun as the griefing appears to be. Arthur over at Joystiq is dispelling rabble-rousing gamer's beliefs that the beta is a direct reflection of the finished product.

Props to Mike Nelson for finding this vid and BF3 Grief for posting it.

Google Chrome - Is It Really Ballin'?

Well...atleast its fast...hopefully the beta will be shorter than Gmail's

I am one of millions that just had to sign up for the Google Chrome Beta. Let me tell you for a solid one and a half days I was very impressed by the speed.  One of the features that attracted me was the fact that none of your tabs that you'd normally have open in Mozilla or IE 'don't compete'. Meaning if one tab is loading a lot of data this bears no weight on the rest of the tabs you have open.  As of a day ago I have definitly seen this feature shot down.  But hey! It's a beta right?  Well...did you know Google's G-mail was in beta until this year? Yea...awesome.

It gets worse after the break...
