IO Interactive has released a new video that shows us how the Hitman: Sniper Challenge came to be and why it’s so damn cool. You can check the video out after the jump.

You probably already know that if you pre-order Hitman: Absolution, you’re given access to the Hitman: Sniper Challenge game right away. What you may not have known, however, is that Sniper Challenge was never actually intended for the public. In their latest behind-the-scenes video, IO Interactive talks about how Sniper Challenge originated as an in-house demo that the studio couldn’t put down. Coincidentally, they were also trying to figure out cool new incentives for pre-ordering. Luckily for us, IO Interactive is filled with a bunch of smart people with sexy accents who put two and two together, realizing that Sniper Challenge was the perfect perk.
In the Sniper Challenge, you still play as Agent 47, but it doesn’t have any direct relation to Hitman: Absolution. Instead, the team intends it to be a way for players to naturally learn some of the overall concepts that are required in Hitman: Absolution, such as stealthily killing people in mind-bendingly clever ways, but other than achievements, nothing will carry over.
For those with a huge competitive streak, IO Interactive has included multiple leaderboards, one that includes the entire world, and one just for your friends. Using nifty methods to dispose of the bad guys will get you more points, and IO Interactive is sure you’ll be wanting to know how your friend pulled his score off.

Damn ! Never trust nothing but the best.
Hi, first off thanks for clicking on my question, here we go …
I am 19 and have been DJing small parties and functions for over a year, I recently started a company with 2 business partners and as of now have the best lighting and sound equipment in my area, we are mainly a mobile DJ (wedding, house party, etc etc.) team. That being said I know we could get away with making a play list in windows media player of something clicking play and sitting at the bar all night but that doesn’t seem fun to me, I currently mix all my music live and bring no set play-list into the shows and I think that is a much more interactive and fun alternative to the clicking play and hiding approach.
Equipment wise I run a NUMARK total control mixer, DJ/IO external sound card and Numark cue software (Virtual DJ), this has worked great for the school dances and other small scale gigs etc. but now I guess I am at my limit with the Mixer I have and am ready to upgrade the mixing/music playing side of our company to the level of lights and sound we supply (which is top of the line as far as mobile dj’s go).
So where do I go now?
I have looked into CDJ’s, Technics, MIDI controllers everything and I just cant make up my mind, Im looking for some real battle tested advice as to what is the best option. I would prefer to stay with software and MP3 simply because I don’t want to haul vinyl and CD’s are just a hassle. but I am open to any media form.
please give me your honest feedback as to where to go now as a mobile dj and club dj what is the best route !! thanks everyone in advance!
Hey Guys so i’ve installed the reloaded version of this game i installed it used crack but when i launch it i’m getting a Blue Screen.It says:
STOP:c000021a Unknown Hard Error Unknown Hard Error
(but i think this is as same as BSOD).At the first launch i made it to the IO interactive logo
but than i’m getting the Blue Screen by every launch.when i tried to launch the game with the original.exe to check for the “insert CD in the DVD rom”message i’m getting the same blue screen and i tried to launch it with offline steam or with the game image in Daemon so if you have got a solution or an idea what would have caused that error please write an answer
(and don’t tell me that i should buy the game because it would cause the same problem)

Here is the situation, In the upstairs of the house we have a digital cable box (The IO Box) The rest of the cable in the house is just ran through the tvs without a box. We recently ordered new cable boxes, We hooked them up in the rooms and everything comes up except after the interactive program guide is done loading it only shows the channel and then no-data and a black screen. I called them and they said they need to send a techie witch i do not want because the cable is spliced and we really dont have the money to spend on the extra lines. Is there a fix to this ?
I’m having trouble getting the program to display a message when 2 things are not equal. Ive got to create a program that tells the user about various famous buildings when the user enters there name. Ive also got to tell the user the name doesn’t exist when its not found in the file. Ive managed to get the rest of my program working but cant do this last bit. If i use an else of else if statement it spits the dummies and Ive tried using a try statement but it doesn’t do anything.
Can someone help me the first bit explains what i have to do:
‘ 1. Design a program to look up data on notable tall buildings. The program should declare a
‘ structure named “Building” with the members “name”, “city”, “height”, and “stories”. This
‘ interactive program should allow the user to type the name of a building into a text box and
‘ then search through an array of structures to determine the city, height, and number of stories
‘ of the building when a button is pressed. If the building is not in the array, then the program
‘ should report this fact. Place the information into a text file, and read it into the array.
Imports System.IO
Public Class Task_2
Structure Buildinfo
Dim name As String
Dim city As String
Dim height As String
Dim stories As String
End Structure
Dim something(0) As String
Dim building(0) As Buildinfo
Private Sub Task_2_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim sr As StreamReader = File.OpenText(“D:Tafe Work 2010Week 8 (Console)txtbuildings.txt”)
Do While sr.Peek -1
something = sr.ReadLine.Split(“,”)
ReDim Preserve building(building.GetUpperBound(0) + 1)
building(building.GetUpperBound(0)).name = something(0)
building(building.GetUpperBound(0)).city = something(1)
building(building.GetUpperBound(0)).height = something(2)
building(building.GetUpperBound(0)).stories = something(3)
Loop
End Sub
Private Sub btnGo_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGo.Click
Dim j As Integer
For j = LBound(building) To UBound(building)
If building(j).name = txtBuildingName.Text Then
lstInfo.Items.Add(building(j).name & ” ” & building(j).city & ” ” & building(j).height _
& ” ” & building(j).stories)
End If
Next j
End Sub
End Class
Now this has bugged me for a while, And I think this of a poll.
POLL #1 : Fios TV or Interactive Optimum (iO)?
POLL #2 : Fios Telephone or Optimum Voice?
and POLL #3 : Fios Internet or Optimum Online?
What do you think is better?
Happy New Year! (’09)
a few interactive channels in IO say “HTML Engine is unavailable. please try again later” does that mean i’ll eventually get to see it cuz its temporarily unavailable? or is it because of some other reason?
(Hitman 1, Silent Assassin, Contracts, Blood Money, etc.)
I want the bloodiest angd goriest game out of them.

why doesn’t this compile i keep getting an error for System.out.print(” The length of the sides of the triangle is:” + num1 “,” + num2 “,” + num3); at the very bottom is a comma out of place or somthing else could someone cut and paste this, compile it and please tell me what i did wrong

I used to watch on animeseason but their videos aren’t working properly. Any where else i can katekyo hitman reborn?
I’ve got io interactive cable box, which includes: family plan, basic bradcast and international channals. I called the cable asked them if I can just have a family plan or just broadcast, but they taled me that one doesn’t go without another. Does it work like this for every one or just for me???
P.S. feels like I’m working only for the bills.

I just started watching the future arc in the series called katekyoushi hitman reborn and it seems like tsuna and the others will never go back to the past! will they ever go back to the past? Or do they stay there forever? How long do they stay in the future for?
i just bought the hitman trilogy for pc and i was wondering if anyone could tell me the order in which the 3 games were released starting with the earliest. the games are blood money, silent assassin, and contracts. thanks.
I’m not suicidal was just wondering. If you hired a hitman to kill yourself and it didn’t work for some reason and you survived and the police found out, can you get arrested? What law would you be breaking? Thanks
