We're being hailed, Captain!

This LED-studded tunnel is being billed by Gizmodo as "the closest you'll ever get to light speed." I beg to differ: My "Flying through Space" screensaver set on high was WAY more light-speed realistic than ambling through a glowy tunnel. All the same, it's pretty awesome.

Quake Live open beta

Yep, the glory day for FPS gamers everywhere has arrived. The Quake Live beta opened live to players last night. I've been attempting off and on to connect to the site, but so far to no avail. If the line for this thing could be visualized, I imagine it would be stretching out of several doors. Hopefully I'll have more interesting things to report on about the live beta later tonight.
