Rogue Spear Beta Leak -
Snicker of the Rogue Spear Retreat has posted that a copy of the beta has been put on a warez sites. For those of you who do not know,
a warez site allows people to download software that has been copied, of course this is illegal. So if you leaked the copy better keep
an eye and ear open for Tom Clancy's goons to come looking for you. I saw the Rogue Spear Beta on a site and as I was about to
click on it I heard helicopters outside....coincidence? Then strange things started happening, my door bell rang, I went to it only
to find a manilla envelope with a note inside written in cut out letters, it read "Don't click that beta". I also started noticing
unmarked black cars following me, and these men in black suits every where I went. Maybe it's just me being a little paranoid, but I think
Snicker was right, if you get the beta from a warez site or are the one who leaked it....keep an eye out for strange happenings, and
check for hidden bugs and cameras in your house and office.

TeamFortress 2 Movie
- I have just uploaded the 35 meg video of TeamFortress 2. The
clip is narrated in German, but who cares, the action looks jaw
dropping awesome. While you watch it notice how the body recoils
with the weapon and the men firing at the parachuting soldiers.
Another scene shows a guy climb a tank and throw a grenade on
the hatch, it looks real. I for one an anxiously awaiting this
game. Get the video clip here.

Cable Modem Accelerators -
So you have a cable modem but your ISP has put a limit on the upload speeds. Download one of these accelerators and install it to
overcome that barrier. Either one will work, I actually installed both on my computer and they do work. I was initially limited to
30k upload and since installing these small programs I have uploaded at over 200k a second. You can download either the
Cable Modem Accelerator or the other
Cable Accelerator.

Delta Force Patch -
Okay, the new patch for Delta Force is out but there is a warning. It is for US versions ONLY! Do not download it if you have a non US version because all it will do is corrupt it. Well, having that been said, grab a copy here. Once again we are using Tactical Planet's wonderful mirrors.
