Yes, Michael Schumacher is back. As a racing driver of course. But for a short while to replace the seriously injured Felipe Massa (That was a scary and freaky accident. Thank god he is going to be better) for at the least the European Grand Prix.

Yes, this post is quite late considering it’s been over 24 hours since MS was confirmed to be back but then I did not want to celebrate before it was a certainty. Now I am extremely pleased (please read jumping with joy but I shall try to be mature and say pleased ;-) ) that we all get a chance to see Schumi back in a Formula 1 car. However it also makes me long. Long to perhaps see Schumi in one of the last few races he will be in a formula 1 car as a F1 driver. It’s like a sign that this is my chance to see him live. Oh I wish I could…

Retardry

Wells Fargo sues itself… Incredible!

No seriously. This is retardry at a level that cannot even be measured. Where did Darwin go wrong? It’s act like these that it makes the recession less of a wonder. And to boot, they hired two, yes TWO, law firms to represent themselves, sued themselves and then answered themselves for the suit.. 8-|

And this is possible only in America. As I read on Bash.org why don’t they just remove all safety labels and the world will be so much for the better.

Perhaps America will one day sue itself to bankruptcy and we will be free of such morons!

I don’t know what to make of it but well

I’ll throw it out for you folks to even try to figure out what MS is trying!

Coming Soon

A big change.. For me..

For now, that is all…

Huge news and good for the Piratebay folks.

id Software holds a special place in my heart for the countless hours of entertainment they gave me through Wolf, Doom and Quake. Wolf was the first FPS I ever player and absolutely loved it. I played it to death, in all modes, without and with cheat codes.

Then came Doom and Doom 2, absolute classics, amazing games. And then came the kings, Quake and Quake 3. Somehow I missed playing Quake II but the others more than filled up my time to allow me to miss it.

And of course, John Carmack was my childhood hero, always seeing his name whenever I started Doom up.
I’m glad that with this deal, id will live on and produce new games. Hopefully I will be able to make more time and play those new games as well ;)

Bonus: A nice interview with John Carmack after the sale of id Software
