kkrieger, free first person shooter

Filed under: firstpersonshooter — Nick @ 2:31 pm

Kkrieger, it’s Germany’s beautiful first person shooter that uses only an amazing 97 kbs of space. Though it’s small file size leaves no options for changing the graphics or controls, the game seems like it could be at least 100 kbs in size. Kkrieger was specially developed to use as little of your hard drive as possible. The developers even won two German Developer Awards.

Basically you run around levels shooting these weird spider creatures, who if left unguarded, will start nibbling on you and slowly diminish your life away.

Interesting Musical Creations
According to Wikipedia, “The game music and sounds are produced by a multifunctional synthesizer called V2, which is fed a continuous stream of Midi data. The synthesizer then produces the music in real time.” Sort of an interesting way to save on file space.

Filed under: utility — Nick @ 11:44 am

Once upon a time there was GoToMyPc, the only solution I had heard of for connecting remotely to your computer. Then, Remote Computer Access was expensive, making us shed most of our money just to log on to our precious computer remotely. Now comes UltraVNC, sure its been out for awhile, but to me UltraVNC’s free remote computer access is completely new.

Ultra VNC features
Access your computer remotely, transfer files, and see just exactly is happening on your computer. You are able to graphically control your computer which could even be countries away. Another practical use is installing UltraVNC on your computer and a friend or clients computer. Now you can help solve their computer problems no matter where you are located.

We should be happy since programs like these can help keep us at home and away from the office.
