Winamp 5.31
by Ryan Carter Oct 28th 2006
I am a long time fan of Winamp and its llama-whipping goodness, but ever since Windows Media Player 11 beta came out I have been using it since it has a bunch of new features and is much better organized than previous versions. Winamp has taken a back-seat to WMP11 at least little bit. I am still a hardcore Winamp fan, and the latest release of Winamp 5.31 is no exception. I can't decide if I am a fan of the new features like included internet TV and radio, but it stays out of the way if you want it to. Two new features of Winamp are worth a look. Winamp Remote, and Winamp Dashboard. Remote is somewhat like Vibe Streamer, letting you access your Winamp music library from anywhere on the web, and Dashboard is a way to add online video and other feeds to your winamp, finally bringing personalized content to the player. Both features are in beta, so look out for bugs, though they seemto work okay for me. Dashboard is a portal of sorts, but helpful in some ways. I like remote, cause you can stream your whole music collection online, which means that every PC in your house can play music from it. I still like VIbe Streamer a bit better, but Winamp remote is not a bad first offering. Sweet tunes, baby.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
