Today I installed the next (and the latest as of now) game in the NFS series...Hot Pursuit 2. The graphics and detail are so much better. Reflections are done really well, and I think it's more fun than Porsche Unleashed, coz you get chased by cops if you're going too fast, and you have to avoid getting busted. You win money for each race that you do well in (and each time the cops give up chasing you ), and you can unlock more tracks and cars. It's kinda like a mix of the original Hot Pursuit and NFS: High Stakes.

The cars in this game are just way too sec-seh. Since I just installed it today, I don't have enough cash to unlock the really fancy cars like the McLarens, Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Haven't played multiplayer coz my bro doesn't have this one yet. Hoping he gets hold of it soon.

Now I'm just going to get bored for the rest of the day...

I just reinstalled "Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed" a couple of days ago on the Inspiron. I have been playing one-on-one multiplayer with my bro for quite a while these past two days. It's so much fun!

Some screenies (resized, of course). I'm driving a '95 911 Turbo 3.6 Coupe on the streets of Monte Carlo :)

My license plate says 'N3tRyd3r' =)

Whaaa...that was one heck of a steep turn!



I can't wait for NFS: Underground. The screenshots look marvellous. And it's going to be even more fun, coz it's urban street racing...the game is based off 2Fast2Furious, so the cars are really fancy. :)

Send Your Name to a Comet!

NASA's Deep Impact mission will dig deep beneath the surface of a comet for a first-ever look at dust and ice from the early formation of the solar system. And your name can be part of the Deep Impact! From now until January of 2004, you can enter your name to be recorded on a disc and attached to the side of the copper projectile - the impactor spacecraft. Your name on the impactor will cause a spectacular crater on Comet Tempel 1 up to the length of a football stadium and several stories deep.

In July of 2005, the Deep Impact encounter will be an event that everyone can take part in by watching images from the impactor's sister spacecraft as they are sent down to Earth in near real time. If you want to know that your name went to a comet and became part of one of the most exciting events in the history of space exploration, then sign up now on Send Your Name to a Comet and tell all your friends so they can sign up too. We'll even provide you with an email announcement so you can contact your friends and relatives about this campaign.

Deep Impact is a NASA Discovery Mission, eighth in a series of low-cost, highly focused space science investigations.

For more information about the campaign, please visit http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/sendyourname/index.html
