Half Life 2, the sequel to the award winning first chapter from Valve Software has gone Gold (which means the game is done and just being manufactured and shipped). You can get it on November 16th at various retail outlets or via Steam. Even CNN is talking about this. And yes, for those that notice a even tone here, I am on edge about this game. Yes, Half Life was amazing. But the multiplayer is just CounterStrike Source, not even CounterStrike2 (meaning they just rebuild the existing game using the new engine and physics). The engine is not even a complete port, they started with the HL1 engine. I will buy this (already have) and really hope its a fun game, but man ... way too much hype on this one.

So some may have noticed that there was a Denial of Service attack that hit some of the PSC websites today. I will not go into details about the specific attack, but it was over 750 connections hitting something specific. Without giving too much away, the server that hosts my site also hosts www.edbrill.com and suitedev.psclistens.com (which is currently off-line) and will soon host another blog (once that person get's their butt in gear). So someone decided to play around. They got lucky ... I was offsite at a client all day and most of our internal IT staff was not around. And they were fairly sophisticated in how they did this. Anyways, we are back to normal. Sorry for the disruption.
