Half-Life 2 Code Stolen -- 3:37 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

According to various sources, the source code for Half-Life 2 has been stolen and made available for download on the Internet. Some claim that it even included the CD-key authentication code and the Steam code. If that is true, Valve could have some serious problems to contend with. Counterstrike had enough cheaters as it was. Hopefully we'll hear something offical soon.

The Master comments: Update! There's a post on the HL2 forums indicating that this is an actual theft of the HL2 source, done via some very insidious hacking of Valve's computer systems. Ouch.

A.T. Hun comments: Newell believes that someone used a . . . wait for it! . . . Outlook exploit to gain access to his box. The good news is that I just happen to have moderator points on Slashdot right now. I'm using them to mod down idiots who are posting links to the source.

FiringSquad Goes to the Academy -- 8:46 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The FiringSquad posted a review of Jedi Academy, giving it a pretty good score. One warning, especially for those of you who haven't bought the game yet (what are you waiting for?), the review does have some things that could be considered minor spoilers. Thanks Blue's News.

NFL Week #4 Final -- 7:54 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Eeyore did it to me again. I went 9-5, but she ended up 11-3. That makes me 37-23 (.617) and she is 40-20 (.667}. It's not so much that I've been picking terribly, but she's been on fire. Thankfully, what's been lacking in my picks seems to have been transferred to my fantasy team. My Fightin' Wombats won again, thumping my opponent (hi, Ryan!) 122-67. I'm 3-1 on the year. My only loss came by one stinking point last weekend, 97-96. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go pick up a running back.
