Well, I’ve gone to playing almost exclusively on TFR’s Hot Cinnamon server now. I’m ranked 8th out of every player on the server (about 3,000 people)… not bad for my ping. If you don’t believe me, check this. Well, back to go own some more supposed 1337s!

Obviously, the nav is mostly dysfunctional. It’ll be working by the end of tomorrow on all pages, hopefully. The switch from frames to tables is a bitch, but it gives us a lot more linkage space. Well, I’m out…nothing really newsworthy except for the Northwood Preview at [H]ardOCP. There’s also a newer article about Corsair building gaming rigs, but I’ve haven’t read it yet…probably some bs. The goddamn CPU technology is advancing too fast; I’m still stuck with a P3 700, here. If anyone has $400 they aren’t using, lemme know and I’ll take it off your hands. I need a new Mobo/CPU/RAM so bad, I can taste it, and it doesn’t taste good.

The big news today is the first snow fell here for this winter. There’s about 6 or 7 inches in most places and it just finished a few minutes ago; started at about 12 last night. Well, 4 day weekend…fragalicious! 😮

The best part of this whole thing is I woke up and immediately recorded a video of the snow and then imported and edited it with my new tv card and software. 8) It’s about 12MB, but the quality is spectacular for the fact that it was 600Kb/s (that’s bits). The background music is also very swoob. You’ll need the DivX codec, though. Click the screenshot to download.

Also, I recently beat Ghost Recon. 8) Pretty good game, I’d give it about 9/10. There were little things here and there that I didn’t like, but overall…it was really a top-notch game. Time to beat: not really sure, probably 20hrs. PCG made it sound like this game was really hard, but I found it reasonably easy on the veteran difficulty. Because you never have too many SShots, here’s some more:

Ahhh…just when it sucks to go back to school, it kicks ass to buck out the next day. Enjoy the video. Cool, it just started again…supposed to get another inch.

Well, I’ve been playing some serious CS recently and thought I’d share some of my ownage. I’ve played some on the Hot Cinnamon server Loog likes, but it’s pretty laggy for me, so I will only be playing on it if Loog’s on too.

My favorite servers are the XLGnetwork servers at 64.81.236.40/41. I get a fairly constant 50-70 ping there with my swooby Cox@Home. Here’s some shots of me owning on dust:

I’d post some SShots of what I get on Hot Cinnamon, but it’s usually a fairly lame 1:1 K:DR. Umm, I guess someone’s gotta do it… happy New Years!

…served with a touch of Christmas joy. Maybe…no, fuck that.

Break out DAP, cause it’s time to download a shitload of stuff again. 😮

First off, the new version of the DivX codec is out, 4.12. It fixes some junk with the P4 and VIA chipsets…so, I reckon I’ll probably get it, being that I have a VIA chipset. Linkage

Just when you thought your Quake version was current, it ain’t! 😕 Mother fuckers at id busted out a new version on Thursday. It doesn’t look like an important patch, unless you play online often. If you can decypher it, here’s what it fixes:

fixed Doppler effect
changed protocol from 66 to 67
fixed simple developer 1 cvar cheat hack
changed a few warnings to developer warnings
rcon commands no longer fragment, sent buffered to the rcon client
fixed connection issues / broken userinfo
only printing R_AddPolyToScene warnings with +set developer 1
various dedicated server issues fixed

I wish they’d permenantly fix my mouse scroll and zoom problems one of these days. Linkage, or the id FTP looks good today and no lines.

That’s all the downloads, I guess. Uhh…I saw a pretty funny cartoon over at [H]ardOCP today whilst browsing their news. Linkage. Also, you should check out the Case MOD article they had. Loog and I were gawking over them cases in networking class on Thursday and then I played the only First-Person shooter I could find for Java, Scared.

Friday, I put in a new Dual Fan 300w PSU. I haven’t experienced any weird shit with the Hard Drives yet, so it must have been a bad unit. 8)

Saturday, I was attacked by women whilst trying to sleep. 😡 Damn you! Here‘s one of them, now!

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz….uhhhh, this just in: The Return to Castle Wolfenstein demo is out. It’s 114MB…arrr. Pick it up from FilePlanet.

I also forgot to mention that I did an update to the VT6X4 Tweak Guide. More tweaking madness for ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……..
