FILM!!! Shitty film, but still…I got my film back with some pics for November’s Column and some other pics of hardware. Most of them sucked so bad that I won’t even post um. Damn 110 film! I just recently started working on 2fort-UT, again. I wanted to increase my skills before attempting anything else. I put a whole lot of time into lighting, pathing, and neat effects, but not too much on making it close to the original. It’s still generally the same map, just a little scaled down. I’ll probably put up a beta of it next week. It’s rather interesting that Loog’s map, Two Rooms, is already passed version 1.0, when I’d say 2fort is v0.35. I don’t think Loog knows too much about version numbers; it isn’t just something extra to add to the title.

I did a little modding last Saturday. Put in an extra 80mm fan in the side of the case. What’s different about the fan from usual is that I put it on the outside. It’s not really all that loud and provides a handle when opening the case. For the processor, I put on a Dual HSF, same as the one found here. I also cut it out of it’s coffin and will be putting a third fan on the back on the mutha as soon as I get some thermal cement. The system thermistor never read more than 84ºF in the week the new fans have been in. At startup, 78ºF; after several hours of UT, 84ºF. The picture below is rather blurry, but you can still see the green PCB (and whatever those things on the back are, cache or something) in between the original coffin.

Die Mother Fucker, Die Mother Fucker, Die Die DIE!!! Oh, sorry…I’m just so happy because I killed the Geocities ads forever. The trick was adding a “Noscript” tag and then a table with the “Plaintext” tag and not closing any of them. This causes Geocities’ ad window to be blocked out totally when it can’t use JavaScript or print it’s Style Sheet crap. I see that Loog finally finished the Column. I’ll add some “WM Notes” to it later, so you won’t be mislead by it’s poor writing (hehe). In my rage of ad removal, I think I erased Loogie’s link to his Column on the Column page. So, it’s found here in case you need a good laugh. In a few hours, the rest of the family will wake up for Christmas morning and PRESENTS! So, I’ll need to be getting to bed after I finish here and play some UT or more Doom. I hope I got my stick of 128MB 133Mhz CL2 RAM; if not, I’ll be on the news for killing everyone in the town with my assault cannon. Merry Christmas!

Ok, so Loog was taking too long on December’s Column and Snake had to step in; no surprises there. He’s got most of the benchies done, just no HTML. So, Snake presents to you another Column for December: Christmas List for 2000!!! I got like 8 or so great budget gamer products that you should all want. Some fans, a HDD, video card, etc. Check it out here. I also put up the best place to buy them, so you should E-mail this one to the grandparents.

Well, I just got finished dilling around on KeysDigital’s with Loog. That fucking pussy did his usual routine of bitchin to me about getting his sleep, cause he needed to care for his body or some fagass shit like that. Bottom line: he’s a poser. Straight up. I would have continued playing, but the mapvote system went whack. Looks like we got to play in or spectate a clan war with our allies, 367. I don’t know who they’re playing, but it should be good if they get it set up. I probably won’t play; I’m gonna capture some food from the kitchen and spectate everyone. That ought to be fun for 30 minutes. It’s at 730 PST (1030 EST) and is supposedly on the ip: 208.235.78.89 [WM Update: Que, you dumb dick, it was today!!! Maybe i can set up something else tomorrow]. I’ll post some more Clan Pics and results from our ally’s clan war, tomorrow.

Loog and I did a major revamp of “Mod.html” (which includes mod.html and all underlying pages). There’s a quick tutorial on choosing the MOD Player that’s right for you and how to use it. We also have tons of new songs added to the MOD Archive list. I added some more download sites for my songs. I should be done with my latest work, ‘revealing “Bounds”‘, by February or March. A lot of the end still has to be worked out, but I may release a incomplete version soon. I have also been working on some clan relations with Que. It appears that we are now allied with a decent clan called “.367”. For more info, go to the Nav icon “[S&L]”. I haven’t had too much time for TFC with all my UT raging lately. I can’t get enough of them botmatches. I’m gonna add Quelog’s and Gandalf’s Pages to a “Hosted” area on the new Nav, somewhere.

Welp, the news is: there is no news. At least nothing important, just follow-ups. First, Gand has put up his first few pages at geocities.com/gandalf_sl; nothing really spectacular there (not like here at S&L), mainly just a biography on his weird-ass lifestyle. Segundo, I think Que is trying to have a life. Was barely on the whole week, and tonight (instead of rockin it out with Loog and I) he went to a fucking lock-up. That shit just repulses me. He’s gonna get a tongue lashing next time he logs on to MSN. Third, Loog is back! Finally, everything looks good; except that “shotgun” stuff, doesn’t really help ping for what he paid. Thx for being my experiment, Loog. Guess I won’t get the SupraSonic2, now (but, a SupraExpress, instead). Fourth, I’ve been breaking out the shit lately! I beat Doom twice this week, no deaths. I kicked out the shit in UT. And, check out this screen I got from TFC. Now you know it’s hard to get that kill/death ratio in Avanti being a sniper with the worst ping! That’s why you join S&L, DAMNIT!!! We kick ass, well…I kick ass.
