It’s only been 6 months, but Loog roasted his GF2 GTS by overtweaking it. Here’s a tip that Loog has dumbfoundedly proven to us: If you are gonna put RAM sinks on your card’s RAM chips, you have to put one on all of them. So, he got a GF4 *cough* MX POS *cough* *cough* on a whim. Then, he mods the POS before even popping it in; thus voiding the warranty. So, continuing in the ways of Loogie, his rig wouldn’t post when he finally put the GF4 in. And this is the point where he calls Snake. I told him to suck a fish…or some crap 😀 (I’m in the library, so I’ll have to omit the usual profanity). Now, his rig is up but the CPU is clocked at defaults (as you can see above). Also, he’s been pulling off some awesomely low temps recently…potentially from the decreased size of the video card. I still think he’s bullsh*tting, though. 😡 I’ll let him follow up on this card in his own post.

Moving on, I’ve been investigating the new version of Morpheus a lot, and am thinking about doing a short Column on how to get the most out of it. Should be int. If you know how to use it correctly, your pr0n and gamez collection should increase immensely. 😉 . Well, the bell rings in a few minutes, so I’m out. I’m gonna start this Column as soon as I get back to the Serpent and play some THREEWAVE!!! 8)

And int.

Just a few notes about some changes that have been made to the site. Expect the Win98 Tweak Guide to be available soon, too.

1. Fixed several issues with JavaScript compatibility in the top frame. Should work well with IE 4.0 and newer, now.

2. Added temperature readouts to the top frame. Why? Because nobody else has done it…I’m pionerring, damnit. It’s kinda int, too. 8) Also, other vital rig statistics are available by mousing-over the temps.

3. More quotes in the top frame.

4. Searches for databases are more exact when used with the name only checkbox.

5. Glossary hit 100 terms this week.

6. Glossary terms have images for the categories which they are in.

7. Some other stuff that makes being an editor here easier…which is why you should email me about becoming a contributing editor or use this nifty form to be a DemoBoard reviewer. 😉

8) I have 4 CD-ROM drives…sorta. I’ve been experimenting with this highly int app called DAEMON Tools 3.02 and what it does is emulates (pretends to be) a CD-ROM drive. You can have up to 4 of these “virtual drives” that can only run CD images. Of course, you make images with another nifty app, such as CloneCD. Then, you’re just boom. 😮 I’ve played music from an image, opened cd-check games with an image (AOK), played movies fron an image, and more. It’s quite swifty and I’m sure it would come in handy often; especially when I’m reinstalling app/game downloads from backup cds. I can merely write the whole disc to the HDD in 5mins and use the image whenever I need to install something. It’s also 10 times faster from the HDD.

Not to mention, this app has illegal purposes, such as opening downloaded image files from apps like Morpheus. I wouldn’t have any experience with these illegal uses, though, because I don’t have the bandwidth to be downloading 600MB images. Also, I pay for all my software! 😀 eeeeeeehehehehehe!!! Check it:

I reviewed two very sweet demos today, Zombie Smasher X and Comanche 4. 8) Also, I’ve redone the way we rate demos. The ratings basically follow an earlier outline that I created in an unfinshed Column about demos, as seen here. The inclusion of more screenshots can also be seen.

It’s hard to find good demos sometimes, even good retail games can have shitty demos…which is why we gave the world the DemoBoard.

Another day, another lackluster demo reviewed. Sid Meier’s SimGolf is the subject this time. Find the review here and enjoy the screenshot.

Now, off the topic of demos: Threewave. What is it? It is the end of traditional Quake3. Never again will I play the lameness of vanilla Q3A, it’s all about 3W. I’ve only begun to explore it, but so far I’ve been very impressed. Check out their website here and the screenage below.
