Well, I would have simply Editor Noted Loogs post, but Snake disabled that function (arg, he’s totally goin Megalo with the site.) Que is pronounced “cue” by every text-speech program i could find, and they only think its prounced “kay” because they’re spanish-speaking mofos. So screw off!

But speaking of beta tests, i was selected to be a beta tester for Valve, so im currently testing CS 1.4, and the betas of HL, TFC, and DMC. Though im legally bound to nondisclosure, i can say that CS 1.4 is cooler than the existing.. um.. whatever version is currently out. Its a step forwards. Frag on, bitches!

Ok, I last posted on the 28th of December of last year… and I have a lot of assorted things to go over. Here goes:

I was gonna show u my badass new IE top bar w/ Hotbar, but I have Netscape now . However, another topbar-kinda-thing: Windows’ toplaunch. Snake and I each have one, but now mine’s 2 bars wide:

so, for the two of you out there who care: Gandalf has returned. Well, sort of, it’s not like i really went anywhere, but i’ve been rather occupied with other things in my life, and havent ever figured out how to post anything. So i was boired and decided to learn. So here’s the update: I havent played any games at all, with the exception of DF3 at Snake‘s which i cant run on my puter, but am pretty good for a llama. Lately I’ve been using the puter for more of the dreaded social interaction and for downloading music. Any regulars to the site have already seen pics of my g/f Rachael (here‘s a pic), and i spend as much time as possible with her, because i love her, other than that life is pretty much occupied by school and as many nasty jokes as possible with my govvie friends, you can check out our site here, but I doubt anyone but us gets the jokes. Anyways, I’ll finish up my first ever News post with a random quote, taken from SNL’s celebrity Jeopardy sketch:

Sean connery: I’ve got a question for you. Whats the difference between a mallard with a cold and you?
Trebek: i dunno, what?
Connery: Well, one’s a sick duck and I forget the rest but your mother’s a whore!

Awrite, I’ve got nothing else, If your bored as i am email me here Other than that, I dunno.

Not much has happened, really. I’ve been playing a lot of games lately and done some additions to the top frame as Que said. I also deleted about 10 DemoBoard reviews after an incident last week. But it functions and looks more like the Glossary now, so it may have been worth it. 😉 I managed to save my most recent review when I fucked it up, though. I put Return to Castle Wolfenstein through its paces; review here.

I’ve been playing a lot of Unreal Tournament with my score of mutators (Akimbo Arena, Pinata, Relics, MoreGore, etc.), Counter-Strike with PodBot, Rogue Squadron 3D, Freespace 2 (a really awesome space combat sim, got a 93% from PCG), and a demo called Balistics. For PodBot, I’ve been doing a lot of waypointing; it’s really relaxing but still challenging. I’ve done about 4 maps so far (de_aztec, de_descent_v2, de_inferno, and cs_assault2k) and will release a pack of them all in a few weeks. I try to get really creative with my waypoints, finding all those little camping spots and every possible place you can get the bots to jump to (especially in Assault2k). Freespace 2 is the phatest flight sim I think I’ve ever played, and the graphic settings on this GF2u can be cranked to the highest possible point and look really stunning. 😮

I think that’s all. The nav has returned to its previous state until I get some of the bugs out of the new nav.

Ok.. its been, like, a week since anyone posted. I dont actually have anything to post about, but what the hell, eh? So.. um.. Snake changed around the topbar a little bit, and we’ve been having some… “problems” with the demoboard.

And.. um.. well, today in A+, i was trying to pry the Heatsink off of this old 486 DX chip, when the thing jabbed me in the thumb. Four perfect little holes on my thumb from the pins, it looked cool. ‘Course, i was mad about it, so i stole it 😮 so that i could destroy it. Should be fun. Oh, and Gr developed a fancy for the LED on this mobo on a computer we were working on.. so he tore the entire computer completely apart.. dont ask me what the correlaton between the LED and the complete disassembly was. Anyways, the teacher came by and told us that it was infact school property, that we were supposed to just be trying to fix it, not salvage it like we were doing to all of the other ones that day. So i walk off and im watchin other people doin shit, and i come back to see the table cleaned and the case loosely on the system. I was like “whaaa?” so then he showed me the inside.. the teacher had said to “put everything back in,” so Gr just stuffed pretty much random components into it and put the case on! I was like “um.. with screws!,” so he gets a handful of screws and pours em into it! LOL! And then the rest of the day sucked.. erm.. so thats my story.

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!
