Reuters is reporting a new game being released by Hezbollah computer experts. Special Force 2 brings last year’s 34-day conflict between the Lebanese guerrilla group and Israel to the computer screens of gamers.
“This game presents the culture of the resistance to children: that occupation must be resisted and that land and the nation must be guarded,” Hezbollah media official Sheikh Ali Daher said.
The shooter puts you in the conflict as a Hezbollah fighter, also know as a Mujahid. Players can progress through the game by collecting weapons and points after killing Israeli soldiers.

A 28 year-old Californian male has been arrested for killing a 6 year-old boy with a meat cleaver and critically wounding the boy’s mother. The suspect, Calvin Sharp, knew the boy and his mother, Sandra Ruiz, 33.
A neighbor, 21 year-old David Crawford said to the Los Angeles Times, “He [Calvin Sharp] said he was tired of him playing video games all the time. He said his ex-wife had cheated on him and was sleeping with all his friends.”
Crawford also says, Sharp shouted at the boy “die, die” as he struck him in the head repeatedly.

The GamingBOB.com website has gone through a lot changes throughout its short existence. Whether it was forum changes, the home site, themes, layout, etc. It has all been done. The website will now have a new approach, and will concentrate more on “gaming”, as the domain name suggests.
This site started out as a personal site, and now will back away from that approach. As the administrator of the site, I want to depersonalize, and bring a sense of community, especially for the gaming forums. One thing you will notice is a change for “BOB”. Instead of the name, it will now stand for “Back-Off Boredom”. The one thing gamers have in common is having fun. If we are bored, gaming is the cure.

I have added my newest addition to the free theme downloads, named “Iconic” for its use of icons for many of the phpBB3 navigation items and visual information. This theme is based of the default prosilver style provided with version 3 of phpBB.
I have changed a bit of the template files, and have added a lot more styling. I hope it is a welcome change from the ordinary. Please spread the word, and if you need any assistance, join the forums and navigate to the “Developer’s Corner” forum.

GamingBOB.com has once again updated its appearance. I have spent a lot of time looking for a theme that I was satisfied with, could use openly without linking to some site in the footer, and that passed strict xhtml validation. At times I settled with what I could find during my searches, but really wanted to design a theme myself from scratch, that I could claim ownership of. I finally got fed up with searching theme databases and decided to try making one.
