No, that is not (read not) a bomb threat for all you llamas that are watching our every move, so STFU. LOL, we love messing with you rets, because you’re so technologically impaired that you think everything on this site is a threat to the well-being of others. It’s a crying shame, but on with the boom!
I’m gonna attempt to do this in chronological order and hell, this may be the longest news post ever.
Monday, Loogie and I commenced in some fragalicious JDoom using our traditional modem peer-to-peer connection 8) (who needs TCP/IP when you live a mile from each other???). Anyways, this is now my favorite freakin port for Doom now. Not only is it absolutely beautiful but the multiplayer options are becoming better and better with each additional patch. The most recent eye candy that was added is the MD2 model support. This means that Doom while running in JDoom and with all the newest model packs is almost totally 3D. So, Loog and I played several of the later levels of Doom2 on Monday and then the following day, I had finally finish playing the entire Doom2 wad, proof below. If you just wanna gib some demons in single-player, JDoom is the way to go. Linkage Screenage:
If you can’t tell, I’m in a good mood. And hell, you would be too if you were Snake. As stated in my last post, I got a new burner and a TV card. Most of my time so far has been spent investigating the capabilities of this ATI TV Wonder card and it’s software. If you’ve got any sort of video that you’d like to input into your computer, get one of these cards now!!! They’re dirt cheap for everything you get. Of course, the quality isn’t as good as with a TV but it suits. I’ve been working with it and a VCR hooked to the composite for a couple days now and it’s really amazing. 😮 At 320×240, it can record real-time into Divx 4.11 compression. Well, there’s not a whole lot else to say about that. I was working with the camcorder the other day and made an exclusive Snake video but at 21MB even with Divx, it’s too large to upload 
Here’s some Screenage:
Next, I must pay homage to the Plextor 16/10/40 CD-RW. I burned a CD-RW on Thursday evening and was pretty impressed by the speed, and that was only at 10X (for the llamas, that’s the max rate for rewritable media). I burned 496MB of data in 6:10. I remember when burning an entire audio disc took like 45 minutes. Hell, now it’d only take 9. Once again, this particular drive is dirt cheap now that the 24X’s are out. Check out the TV card and burner at my boys’ site, Comp-u-Plus.
Now, here’s the funny shit. Last night (that would be Friday), both Loog and I’s rigs did some intense fucking up. I was trying to write this news post when it happened. My hard drive made a spin down sound and everything locked but the mouse cursor. I said the usual “what the fuck” and hit the restart button. I come back and holy hell, my screen is at 640x480x4 resolution. I tried the normal response to that kind of thing and reinstalled the Via 4.00 AGP GART and nVidia 21.81 drivers. It had no effect, so I just proceeded to back up everything important to the Slave Hard Drive (which IMHO, everyone needs) and formatted the Master at around 4 this afternoon. By 10, I had enough stuff installed to be officially operational. 
The last thing I installed was PowerStrip (great tool, pick it up).
Loog on the other hand, I dunno what exactly happened to his rig. He reinstalled Win98se (without a format 😡 ) and now about half of his programs don’t work still and the OS crashes every few hours. On top of that, he has about 600 files on his Hard Drive that are infected with the Chernobyl virus. All this because he didn’t just format. Loogie is a ret. Moving on.
Oh, hold up…that’s it. She-it, it’s 5:24….I’m ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……………
