Wild West Online: Gunfighter Open Beta Available
Tenderfoot Games recently announced that an open beta version of Wild West Online: Gunfighter is now available. In the game players take the role of a gunslinger in the 19th Century American West. As gun fighters, players engage in duels, working their way across hundreds of towns and territories as they make a name for themselves.
Wild West Online: Gunfighter offers players the option to hone their skills against human or computer-based opponents. Although set in a rich, 3D environment Wild West Online: Gunfighter can be played right from a web browser, making it highly accessible.
"Wild West Online: Gunfighter is not just a quick-draw test of reflexes," says Ariel Butler, Executive Producer for Tenderfoot Games. "The outcome of gun battles hinges on players’ tactical decisions, actions, and their appetite for risk leading to the decisive moment." Butler added, "Wild West Online: Gunfighter is a game that’s easy to learn but has a lot of depth. Because each gunfight can be played out against an opponent in just a few minutes, it’s a great way to take a break from work, or lose yourself in an evening of absorbing action as you find yourself saying, ‘Just one more fight and then I’ll log off!'"
In Wild West Online: Gunfighter, players acquire items and skills that improve their gun fighting ability over time. The game is playable for free, with players having the option to purchase Golden Eagles, the game’s premium virtual currency, to purchase special items or speed the rate at which they acquire new skills and abilities. Players are also able to purchase items using Scrip, which is awarded to everyone for free play.
Wild West Online: Gunfighter is a key part of the Wild West Online multiplayer game experience, which, when released, will offer players an immersive and wide-ranging selection of period-authentic activities.
The open beta of Wild West Online: Gunfighter is available for Mac OS X 10.4 and higher, and is available at the website linked below.

Mysterious Hexagon Shape Discovered on Saturn
Okay, have you seen that weird hexagon thing on Saturn that was released last week?AA It has got to be one of the strangest things wea€™ve seen on another planet since the famous Face on Mars.AA A giant, nearly perfect hexagon formation has been spotted at the ringed planeta€™s northern pole.AA The entire object is rotating with the winds at the pole in a circular pattern and measures nearly 15,000 miles across.AA Four entire Eartha€™s could fit inside the shape!AA Perhaps the strangest thing about it is that this isna€™t the first time it has been seen.AA The Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecrafts that were launched in 1977 both captured pictures of the hexagonal shape in their visits to Saturn in 1980 and 1981 respectively.AA While the images were thought odd at that time, they certainly didna€™t think it was anything that would last more than a quarter of a century later, but it has.AA The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft captured the most recent photographs and video of this bizarre rotating shape when it passed over Saturna€™s northern pole in October 2006.
So, what exactly is this thing?AA How is it possible that a perfectly formed hexagon (a six-side object) could just be swirling around the pole of a planet without any sort of structural change in nearly 25 years?AA Well, dona€™t ask the scientists, because they dona€™t know either.AA According to NASA atmosphere expert Kevin Baines, a€oewea€™ve never seen anything like this on any other planet,a€A and Saturn is a€oeperhaps the last place youa€™d expect to see such a six-sided geometric figure, yet there it is.a€AAA Well, if they dona€™t know what it is, who the heck does?AA Is it an alien civilization?AA Is it a machine or a building?AA Is it a message from beyond?AA Is it a crop circle?AA Is it the answer to world peace?AA Inquiring minds want to know!
Remember how there was a giant monolith found on the moon in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey?AA The U.S./British governments secretly covered up the discovery from the other so-called partner governments, particularly Russia, and lied about how there was some sort of disease outbreak.AA Then they launched a secret manned mission to investigate the alien messages that were being sent to the monolith from Jupiter.AA Well, I wouldna€™t be surprised if something similar to that fictional tale would occur in real life if some alien intelligence was really discovered on a nearby planet.AA Wouldna€™t you?AA While Ia€™m sure wea€™ll be fed some sort of a€oenatural phenomenona€A explanation in the next few months or years, how will we really know what our government is doing if it is some sort of message from the outer reaches of the solar system?AA Should we just trust them?AA I dona€™t think so.AA And why havena€™t we heard about this object the first time it was seen in the 80s?AA I sure dona€™t recall it being talked about it before.AA Youa€™d think that would be on every conspiracy site out there along with all the other UFO reports.
Consider the recent release of the previously secret French UFO files.AA Why exactly are these records kept secret from the public in the first place?AA Last I checked, my tax dollars paid for the resources that gather and investigate these sorts of unknown phenomenon.AA Why are our UFO files kept secret?AA Sure, therea€™s the Freedom of Information Act that supposedly allows anyone to request these reports, but they usually come marked out in black ink or unavailable when you do request them.AA If therea€™s nothing to hide, why are they going so out of their way to make it look like theya€™re hiding something?AA Just like everything else theya€™re seemingly hiding from us!AA All Ia€™m saying is that something like this, while it could have a perfectly logical explanation, will probably end up being buried under a pile of bureaucratic nonsense just like all the other things the government seems to want to hide from the public for a€oeour own good.a€AAA Keep an eye on this story and see if it ever sees the light of day again because ita€™s just too weird to ignore!

Is The New Ball A FIFA Conspiracy?
Is it just me or does it seem like every major tournament now features a new ball that moves in the air just a little more than it’s predecessor? Lahm and Frings (still excellent) long range goals for Germay in their 4-2 win over Costa Rica were in part due to the new Adidas Teamgeist ball (pictured) bobbing and weaving like Muhammad Ali in his prime.
Is it possible that FIFA (and UEFA) do this deliberately to give attacking teams an advantage, thus guaranteeing goals at major tournaments? If so, then I say carry on. The more six goal games in tournament football the better.

Olympic Choreography
The visually underwhelming London Olympics stadium, designed by HOK Sport, might actually be broken down into its constituent parts once the 2012 Summer Games are over and shipped off to Chicago a€" where it will be partially reassembled.
Perhaps this act will open the door to a new choreography of reused, plug-and-play architectural structures, with fragments of existing buildings being FedEx’d around the world to fit one into the other in a delirium of improvised building space. Cathedral pods and office modules meet in a haze of stadium seating and hobby lobbies on the outskirts of San Francisco. New rooms are trucked in from somewhere east of Reno.
You buy part of the London stadium for yourself and build a treehouse with it.
Of course, does this also imply that there could be architectural stowaways? Crossing borders and exploring the complex fringes of territorial sovereignty by hiding out within pieces of mobile architecture a€" riding conference halls and classrooms throughout the circuits of global commerce… before stepping out, like a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock film, onto the tropical streets of Manila.
You then jump into a nearby taxi and disappear.
The taxi is then shipped to New York.
Where surrealism meets the postal service. Or perhaps surrealism is a kind of postal service, with objects popping up where they are not supposed to be.
