COUNTER-STRIKE : SOURCE


Here is one of the best game that I know.

CS: Source is a multiplayer tactical first-person shooter.
In the past, I didn’t like this sort of game because it gave me headache. But this game is especially exciting and it’s really absorbing.


The rule is the following: either you incarnate a terrorist or counter-terrorist. Then you chose a server on the Internet among a maximum of 150.000 and you played online with human gamers of all over the world !!! Moreover, there is a lot of maps. So, you’re not ready to be bored.


Besides, it’s more funny to play with friends because you can laught at them when you shooted at someone!^^ So, it’s essential to create a team for joining our forces against the enemy.
My team is composed of 3 members, me and 2 other friends. Sometimes, we declare wars via a special website and we fix a rendez-vous to play a match in a Team vs. Team. This competition is stressful because it is about saving reputation of the team!







The two best screenplay I prefer are:

- Deathmatch: You must be quick!
You rescusitate automaticaly when you died. The more you kill, the more you have better weapons. The match ends up until a player cut an enemy with the last weapon, a knife, which is the most difficult to do because it’s necessary to approach the enemy.
This screenplay is exciting and it’s for freaking out.

- Bomb/defusing bomb: you must be strategic!
When you died, you reappeared in the next match. At the beginning, you can buy weapons, grenades, defusing kit (…) with money you must manage by yourself.
The bomb can be put down by terrorists in “Zone A” or “Zone B” of the map. For the counter-terrorists, you have to stop all the terrorists by killing all of them and/or defusing the bomb. You must be methodical with our team.. Happily, thanks to the microphone, you can speak, coordonate our movements and inform the position of the enemy.

The sensation is guaranteed! There is no fantasy. This game is very realist.


Some statistics…






63% of first-person shooter gamers play at Counter-Strike. It is the game the most played online in his category.

CS doesn’t need important ressource. A pentium and a standard graphic card is enough. But, the new current computers are able to make the most of the resource of this game. This is one reason of his success.

How To Reappear Completely

Radiohead are coming back!

After four years since they released its last album, Radiohead are releasing In Rainbows, their seventh studio album, available October 10th.

The newness is that the album is not offering by records shops owner as usual. Its is only distributing in through their website www.inrainbows.com/. (digital download)
Radiohead let people decide how much to pay their new album. It’s up to you!
You can also order a deluxe boxed version that includes the digital download album, a double vinyl disc, a book, eight bonus tracks available on December for a price of 40£.

Radiohead’s contract with their major company (EMI/Capitol) expired after its last record, Hail to the Thief. From now on, they don’t have a record label.
But Radiohead’s reputation give an independant status vis-à-vis to the industry of music. So, the band is able to do offer their songs like they want.




In fact, before In Rainbows released, I knew most of the songs for a long time (more than one year!) because there have been played live by the band for some time, and versions of them are available on the Internet. I notice that there is a big difference with studio album, that’s why I feel disturbed with my first listening.
I am not used to the sound of the album yet. I think it’s a good album but it is necessary to listen to it again and again to form a real opinion.

However, I feel disappointed by the poor sound quality of the album. Indeed, song’s compression are only at 160 kbps (MP3), that's not good enough. So when I listened to some songs, sounds seems too choked off to my sense. I think it put paid to their work! But it seems that downloadable album was just a promotional tool for physical CD, coming soon…

Some statistics shown that 1.2 millions have downloaded the album yet for an average price of 5£ (about 10€).

Nevertheless, I really appreciate this band for a long time because they are great artists and always satisfy their fans. They deserve to have gratitude from all.
It would be damage to fall into illegal downloading. So we have to contribute for artists so far as we can!
