“…portability engine for Intel-based Macs, offering game developers and publishers the ability to deploy Windows-based games on new Macs quickly and easily, without the need for traditional arduous porting.”

It looks like I was right. Things are starting to slowly merge and close the gap. Don’t get me wrong though, Windows and Mac with never be the same.

So now for another prediction! With all the talk about next week and Apple’s WWDC 2006, I’m going to make my predictions as to what Apple will unleash.

1) Power Mac will be replaced by a new Intel Xeon Processor, and a availble Intel Core Duo processor.

2) Mac OS X 10.5 (of course) but here are the features im guess at will be added.

a) tabbed browsing inside Finder.

b) new iChat features (possible to sync to iPod)

3) New…..er MacBook and MacBook Pro.

I’m betting some updates to some of things they have been having issues with, and maybe a new processor.

4) New iPod!

a) Wifi, Bluetooth capabilities

b) ya, it will be a phone. (thats my guess anyways)

5) New iPod Nano colors. This is probelly my only guess that I don’t really think will happen, but it could.

Anyways, I just had to go and make some predictions because everyone else is. I can’t wait to get this next week over with so I can sell my PC and by my MacBook, that is, if they release a new…er MacBook.

I now have another project to get started on

How to make one.

Now that the patent has run out on the Famicon (NES) other companies can now produce the console.

What Does that Mean?

-WIRELESS CONTROLERS!!!!
-Play all of your saved NES games!!!
-Get a sweet new NES with all the cool technologies!
-Old school is much better.
I highly recommend getting one, I’m going to. This is worth the money, unlike the Xbox 360 or PS2.

Here is a link to one such company.

Link

Halo 3 to support 4 player Co-Op, 50 players online, and map editor.

OMG! Who freaking cares! If they would make it on PC, you could do 64 players online, UPDATES, map editor, you could make mods, and loads more.

Stupid Xbox.

Well seeing as how dumb xero-tech.net is and how my site was down at the time of its release, I will post about it now.

Valve has an offical teaser trailer out for Half Life 2: Aftermath. You can check out the trailer, screen shots, and much more at Game Spot.

The Mini Game:

1- Build in airboat that can fly WITHOUT thrusters helping it to LIFT or move FORWARD.
2- Build it so you can attack enemies with it
3- Split up into teams
3a- This is addition to the game if you want to do this too. Build a base with your team.
4- FIGHT!

RULES:

-You may ONLY USE 8 BALLOONS AT MOST to give lift to your airboat
-You may use ONLY 4 THRUSTERS EQUALING 10000 POWER all together
-You CAN NOT use thrusters on the bottom, sides, front, or back of the airboat. Only on the top.

TIPS:

-We suggest that the only weapon that can be allowed to shot an airboat is the airboats gun. The airboats gun does not destroy the balloons, but does hurt the player inside.
-The airboat with gun works alot better then the regular airboat

HOWTO:

1- Spawn Airboat (With gun)
2- Add two balloons to the front at 1067 power (as shown on tutorial.dem)
3- Add two balloons to the back at 1041 (as shown on tutorial.dem)
4- Add two thrusters to the front/top of the air boat at 2500 power.
5-Add two thrusters to the top of the engine at 2500 power.

All of this is shown in the tutorial.dem

DEMOS:

- tutorial.dem
- flyairboat1.dem
- flyairboat2.dem
- flyairboat3.dem
- flyairboat4.dem
