All the boys at S&L have been playing a fucking load of Age of Kings, lately; in particular, the expansion, The Conquerors. It’s just too much fun building up your civilization and then kicking ass (usually Loog’s 😛 ). I’ve also made a couple of maps that should be available soon on the site. One was quite int and lead to a four hour free-for-all between Que, Loog, and myself. I call that map “Atolls” but I believe it deserves the subtitle of “Find that last Goddamn Villager!”. I’ve notice a trend in all of our recent AOK games, though: I always win. 😀 (Except when you set the AI to moderate on an island map.) Screenage:

Now, about the JaguarPC business: S&L is changing its web host to Jaguar, the same host that Gr-Dragon uses for his site on playing RPGs with cards (I’d give you a link but that shit is for overly-nerdy simps 😀 ). Either way, expect the site to be in a rather int state for a few days. We’ll still be at S–L.com, though!

As for Sectorlink, I hope they go out of business. They really did fuck me royally. It just took me a while to notice cause it was such a slow affair. A glimpse at what we can offer with JaguarPC: subdomains (surge.s–l.com), anonymous FTP, PHP w/ MySQL databases (may mean a recoding of the entire Demoboard, Glossary, etc.), and much more space (200MB) to give you even more of that S&L taste you love. 😉 Not only that but it costs less, so now I can get…

DSL! That’s right, Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Lines are becoming available in this rat hole! 😮 I dunno about the surrounding towns getting DSLAMs but who gives a fuck about them when you can download shit at least ten times faster! 😀

As you may have already seen from the ticker, I reviewed Dungeon Siege. It’s one of the few demos that I have given a 10, and it really deserved it. Check out the review here. Of course, there’s only 3 sshot slots in the reviews, so here’s some additional eye candy for you to suck on:

Que’s most likely tired of seeing the old news, because he tells me today how many days it’s been since that news. So, mainly, we’ve all been pretty busy ending school, working, and I particularly have been having an affair with another non-website programming language. As you can tell from the title, that’s Visual Basic. 😮 I’m currently working on a little winsock driven chat/file sharing program. I made it specifically for chatting at LAN Parties, because obviously you can’t do that normally (unless everyone at the party is also connected to the internet). So far it detects your IP, connects to multiple hosts, and allows chat sessions. Not enough functionality (not to mention bugs) to release a beta just yet, but in time…every LAN Party won’t be without it. 😛

Speaking of LAN Parties, we had Surge 2.5 this weekend. For a full debriefing on that, head to the Surge Site. There’s news, pics, and scores from our favorite gaming event.
