Jungle Legend 2009

Hi! Did you come here from Google looking for troubleshooting information about the PC game Jungle Legend? If so, I just wanted to let you know that I am also getting crashes from the main menu reporting that final.exe had a problem. At least you know you’re not alone on this vast internet.

…Moving right along, tonight’s game is Jungle Legend. It came in a new batch of obscure games from an eBay seller. Whenever a new shipment comes, I always feel like delving right into at least one of them. Unfortunately, this is the one I chose. Unfortunate because it did not work. The game had IncaGold on the packaging which made me feel good because they were responsible for Hot Wired. It looks like an outfit named Flair Software licensed IncaGold’s 3D engine for this title.

The game’s installer shows a graphic for 3D Real Hunting. That threw me off somewhat– was it an ad or an oversight on the part of the installation engineer?

The game’s documentation is quite thorough and straightforward about the storyline– skimming… African rainforests… tribes, ancient race… 4 magic stones, correspond to earth elements like fire and water. Okay, I gather I’m supposed to collect the 4 rocks. It occurs to me I almost have enough to write a MobyGames description, except that I don’t exactly know what the gameplay is like. I assume it’s a 3D game, and an action one at that. But I don’t know if it’s 1st or 3rd-person or perhaps side-scrolling.

Bruce Ivins anthrax case similar to a Law & Order episode?

We were talking about the Bruce Ivins tragedy on the way back from lunch and something about it finally clicked in my brain.

Let me take a step back, I’m a big fan of Law & Order Criminal Intent. I remembered an episode that is eerily similar to this case, the one entitled, A Person of Interest.

In a continuation of a previous episode, the season finale finds Detectives Goren (Vincent D’Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) probing the murder of a former Air Force nurse — but the discovery of anthrax nearby intensifies the search and pushes Goren into the headlines when he is blamed for a suspicious scientist’s suicide.

I’m really surprised people haven’t seen that connection. I found only one reference to it in the comments of this post at HuffPo.

Interesting times we live in…

Jenna Jameson a rămas însărcinată

Alertă în lumea XXX. Jenna Jameson a rămas însărcinată

Starul porno Jenna Jameson este însărcinată, informează ziarul american New York Post, care susţine că ea şi iubitul ei, luptătorul Tito Ortiz, sunt extrem de fericiţi.
“Ea a avut o grămadă de întâlniri şi alte lucruri planificate pentru Fashion Week, inclusiv pentru propria colecţie vestimenatră, dar a amânat totul”, susţine o sursă citată de publicaţia amintită. “Este foarte emoţionată, e ceva ce a vrut de mult timp”.
În vârstă de 34 de ani, Jenna Jameson l-a cunoscut pe Tito Ortiz în 2006, divorţând la scurtă vreme după aceea de soţul ei de atunci, producătorul de filme pentru adulţi, Jay Grdina.
Evenimentul este deosebit având în vedere că ea mai încercase să rămâne gravidă prin inseminare in vitro, dar fără succes.
