One last note about the amazing, non-existant (at least not on any of our servers or mirrors), hotly debated April Column. Some people bitched I’m guessing, and got S&L in trouble…except Que (lucky shit). Now Gandalf is all rawled up about it all and explains in this speech his feelings on the matter as of today. It’s directed towards the principal of our school. I don’t really give a rat’s ass right now, though…It’s 10 days of fraggin’ for Snake! Taste the wrath of my Colt M4, LPBs!!!
Which brings me to my next little subject, my new modem…a Diamond SupraExpress ISA. It’s basically a cheaper version of Loog’s SupraSonic2, but I don’t see much of a difference. Loog gets about 10ms lower ping than me now on our favorite CS server (used to have a 100ms lower). Here’s two screenshots of tests I ran with it, the first is pinging GameDomain CS 1.1 Server and the second is running a ping for www.S–L.com.
Yeh, this modem rocks…and I got it for $29 on Ebay. Snake officially recommends the Diamond SupraExpress for the cheapest high quality 56k modem. Especially if you can get it for a steal like I did, most retailers sell it for $65 (BTW, my modem came boxed and sealed, too).
At the time I am writing this, I haven’t posted the review for Hitman or Diablo II. I plan to soon, though (they are both excellent demos). Before I add them to the DEMOBOARD, I wanted to design a totally new layout for it. I’ll be using some of the textures I created for the Column, so they finally get some use. So, there are some more screenshots below from Diablo II. I took them after I had finished all the content from the demo (2 quests) and made it to Level 7. Gotta love that Vicious Trident!
