Bryce 3D landscape and animation software for free

bryce 3d for freeYes you read that right. Free. DAZ Productions is giving away Bryce 5 for free. (The newest version, Bryce 5.5, still goes for around $100.)

Eagle117 tipped us off to this amazing offer from DAZ Productions, and its no hoax. Simply visit the DAZ Bryce special offers page, and visit the corresponding link to securely download the application on Download.com in either Mac or PC format. After downloading, click on the installer. When the installation prompts you to register you will be forwarded to the DAZ site, where you must set up a user profile first. When this is complete, you are given a serial number for your version of Bryce. Very simple! I was completely finished the whole process from downloading to using it in under 10 minutes! Faster if I didn't get up to get a bottle of water.

Bryce is a pretty powerful 3D landscaping and animation tool, available for both Mac and PC platforms. Traditionally the software is used for multimedia, video and web work. You can really create some amazing pieces of artwork through this application. It just might take a while to play through the many features that Bryce offers the designer.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
