So I checked out the Need For Speed: Carbon demo and once again the car physics especially at low speeds are pretty much terrible. I'm a little baffled that they wouldnt fix this at least a little. I mean I can understand sacrificing physics for fun but it's not even that. It's just annoying. It makes me emo.

- Nifty cell phone security
- Solar startup is hot (OMG LOL?)
- Star explosions are hot (OMG OMG LOL?)
- T-Mobile launching WiFi calls

Lastly, someone figured out e-tickets arent secure! Lets arrest the dude

    It's a hell of a fight, that's for sure, but I'm still trying to figure out how to hurt him :(

      er, I'm 90% sure I have to shoot him in his mouth since it glows alot but getting him to open his mouth without only giving me 1 second to shoot (since it takes like 3 seconds to jump off the horse, turnaround, and take aim) doesn't seem to do the trick.

        The one you fight in a sandy pit, he's like a giant snake with two huge eyes.

        Ah, yeah that one kind of blew. The other sand colossus is the best in the game however.

        Dude don't jump off the horse. You can shoot arrows while riding. And I think it is the eyes that you have to hit..

      He's not talking about the flying one... he means the burrowing one. The Sand worm. Here's a hint:
      
      Awfully big eyes he's looking at you with, aren't they?

  You have to shoot the eyes, you'll figure it out from there.
  
  I remember that one drove me nuts, and quite frankly, kept scaring the crap out of me, but I guess that's what I get for trying to play while tripping.

  I think the most epic colossus for me was #4 (the bird). All the two-legged ones were great too... But fuck if some of the other colossi didn't piss me off (stupid flying worm, the geyser fucker, and especially the one in the lake with the stones on his head...)
