ScummVM 0.11.0 released for almost every OS ever

ScummVM
Ever wish you could play your favorite adventure games from the 80s and 90s on your PDA, iPhone, or modern PC? ScummVM is an open source project that lets you run a huge number of games including classic LucasArts titles like Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island.

ScummVM 0.11.0 was released today with support for two new operating systems including the iPhone and Maemo (which runs on Nokia's internet tablet devices). There's also support for a number of new games including the freeware game Lure of the Temptress. The updated version also includes improved support for 64-bit systems and more support for non-English versions of games.

On the downside, while ScummVM releases are usually available for pretty much every operating system on earth, the latest version does not include PS2 or GP32 ports because the development team doesn't have anyone available to write those ports at the moment.

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.
