Windows 8 won't support flash

-
Everyones doing it!

Apple was hugely criticized when they cut off flash support on their OIS devices, and now Windows is walking in their footsteps. The new addition to Windows in "Windows 8"is called Metro, it is highly optimized for touch enabled screens, and looks a lot like the OS on the Windows Phone.



Microsoft announced on their blog that flash as well as other 3rd party software wont be integrated into to Windows 8 Internet Explorer. This is because it would ruin the experience by making everything too bulgy and slow (said Microsoft) 

But fear not. There is an alternative if you cannot live without flash. You can always open up the "classic" windows desktop (made into an app in Windows 8) and from there open the "classic" Internet Explorer.

The right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik's 1.500 pages long manifesto, is currently being read by law-enforcements. In it he mentiones his passion for video games in it he writes            "I just bought Modern Warfare 2 , the game. It is probably the best military simulator               out there and it's one of the hottest games this year. I see MW2 more as a part of my               training-simulation than anything else. I've still learned to love it though and especially               the multiplayer part is amazing. You can more or less completely simulate actual               operations."  He used other games such as wow as a cover up for why he had been isolated for such a long time, and didn't answer the phone

Crysis 2 Early Multiplayer Review

The Crysis 2 Multiplayer demo just hit Xbox live and i have been playing since By: Frederik Being a fairly large fan of Crysis 1 and Warhead, i was expecting this to be great, and so far it is! This game is like Black Ops on steroids, that mated with the POV camera from Mirrors Edge! The phase is so fast and action packed i don't even know why they added a sniper class, if you sprint and press the crouch button you will slide forward, allowing you to get some extremely cool kills. Or if you find yourself in mid air, press that magic crouch button once again and you will speed towards the ground, and pound the living hell out of the earth beneath you with your scientifically empowered fist. The Air Stamp Crytek does a very good job making you feel like your the only person who's got a nano suit, by making your teammates shout things like "Help! I'm in trouble!" or "Oh God!" this gives the impression that they are all helpless soldiers a...
