I worked on the site everyday this week, just had little time to add news. Just now, I changed the address of our Columns, due to lack of space. The navigation link to left still goes there, so don’t freak. We were playing around with about 200kb of free space, but now that I moved all the Columns over to here, there is about 6.5MB free. It’s amazing! We just keep pumping out more features here at S&L.

Speaking of features, in a little over a week, February’s Column will be complete. I do believe that this will be the largest Column yet, set to be 3 pages. It’s gonna be about our favorite MODs (not the music, although that would be a good subject, too). Quedog has been given FireArms to write about, Loog will bullshit on CounterStrike, and I am gonna write about Infiltration and lay down the format. The pages will be a bitch to load, so I think I might use my preloading script for this one. Time for more coding…

Damnit! Why the fuck do stupid-ass parents have to come between a nerd and his PC? Not only is it immoral (kinda like cutting off one’s genitals) but it is also more than just entertainment and it replaces the need for so many other medias (basically, your PC can be a TV, console, radio, stereo, home theater, newspaper, and just about anything else except food and shelter). My so-called fucked up punishment, was as you can imagine “probation” from the Serpent. My damned mother said probation so much, I wanted to beat her to death with my sock on several occasions. The only reason i was given this unjust punishment was for skipping my spanish exam. I passed the class anyway, though, so WTF did it matter??? [WM Note: STFU, Loog…I don’t care what you have to say, leave it on the forum] They also took my keyboard just for an extra tanginess of asshole. Ever tried to play doom legacy with a gamepad? and no keyboard to change the binding? and you can forget about exiting the game, cause you can’t bind quit or esc and y (for yes), no alt-ctrl-del either…only my lovely restart button. I also got 2 extra days for getting online and being caught by my psycho suicidal parasitical sister, (fucking isp and phone lines) and for cussing the fuck out of my lameass parents on Friday. I did some other sneaky shit, but that will be left untold. Though, I will say that I was gonna unattach my father’s pos HSF from his cpu (no HSF=Mr. Dell locks every 10 minutes), but I feel asleep waiting for the perfect striking time.

Well, that’s 5 days worth of bitching released. I played some Infiltration at Loog’s this morning, so I’m feeling a little better. I love spawning and immediately switching to my Desert Eagle and aiming it (followed by unloading a clip into a wall to see the recoil…dude!); it’s considerably more challenging killing bots with a sidearm compared to their usual benelli or colt. Also, do you realize that we still have a Forum and it works, too? I’ll give it some props later, maybe in the top frame; seeing as space is limited in the nav. I looked at it a little while ago and this was in there:

It’s dated June 20, 2000…damn, I smell a lazy snake (and I just deodorized myself, too). I think I’ll check that site out, soon. Maybe that dude works there and I can mail him about the current state of the site. Damn, even though the LAN was unsuccessful, the site I made for it is phatty. Check it out in the Hosted Sites list. Well, time to empty some clips into a wall, now. Cya.

Just trying out a new new header. I also changed the forum around, at the expense of the previous threads. Well, feel free to comment on anything.

Hold up! I have a cunning plan. What if everyone that posts uses a different header background, that would rock. So, this is mine, everyone else get your own, damnit!

I’m done for today, seriously. Just want you to notice the poll, it’s next to the hosted sites pull-down. I know you wanna click it; but first, note that it’s buggy. Take the poll, then close the window, hit the S&L Poll button again to see the results. Weird things happen when you cheat the system, still better than damned ads floating all over the place.

Hey, Snake here. I got a few updates and new stuff. There’s a bunch of pics below, but I’ll explain those in a sec. First, I just realized this afternoon that Cuban Dawn can in fact be played as an assault map (1 of 2 Infiltration maps that also are made for AS). And, also, the Robar RC50 costs less than I had thought, it’s about 5000 credits; still pricey considering a AKSMU is only 350. Still worth the purchase more than a H&K PSG1, cause you’ll be able to carry almost every weapon, but only 1 SMG (I’d go with the MP5 for it’s greater range and less recoil).

Next, I have prepared a couple screenshots from my rather shitty architect tool of the S&L house-to-be. Loog and myself could live in this one, and Trig, Que and Gand could have a mirrored version connected to ours via a catwalk (which also gives a way for our CAT5 cables to get from one hub to the other on our network). Oh, and Kat could just chill in my room (preferably in the bed with Snake). Hey…a guy has to have dreams, that’s all that keeps me going. I plan on porting the house over to Unreal, eventually…how cool will that be, actually hearing my footsteps on the tile in the kitchen, dude!

The pics have tooltips when you mouseover for a short description.

Well, I’m gonna report on a few things. Infiltration is mighty damn cool. First off though, the installation/setup is a bitch. Luckily, I am a master at all things computer (except local area networks, obviously). After I got the first huge-ass download complete, I went ahead and played some UT deathmatch maps (as the maps have to be downloaded separately) and it’s pretty easy to get into the game. I recommend Barricade with 10 or 12 bots if you don’t have the time to download the 43MB maps.

The credit system in the loadout is rather interesting, either you can buy a sniper rifle (H&K PSG or Robar .50) and maybe a sidearm and ammo or purchase 2 sidearms, 2 SMGs, a Colt Rifle w/ M203 grenade launcher, another grenade launcher, an integral sepressor, 5 frag grenades, a knife, and all the ammo possible for every weapon (even sniper rifles, in case you pick one up). Of course, most would go for the second layout for the number of weapons and allout firepower. The .50 caliber rifle, though, is devastating against the cumbersome bots in the hands of a good sniper. Once I got the maps, I was really suprised, several of them are actually quite fun. Cuban Dawn has a CounterStrike feel to it, one team is in a house overlooking key chokepoints and the other has to prod their way into the house and hold these positions. It’s nothing but a deathmatch, but the developers hope to soon make it into something more assault-like. I haven’t had a whole lot of time to try out all the maps, but Installation is my favorite. The only thing is the red team’s bots seem to love suiciding at the beginning of the map by falling too far down, leaving it up to Snake to camp outside the blue base with my M203. Gibbies!!!

And, currently…I’ve gotten some new MODs. All the ones that Loog prescribed for me sound either like lousy rock or game music from an atari. So, Snake called up on some of his favorite artists at TiS for some goodness, the best being Martian Lovesong by Necros and Annie by Nighthawk. What’s totally amazing is that all of Nighthawk’s music has been given a 10, but one of the best trackers technically (Necros) is given ratings of 8 on a lot of his best stuff (most of it has been rated 5 times, though). So, if you get any new music, look towards the greats, not new, shitty artists.
