First off, I would like to say I am SICK of all this tech news bullshit, Snake! Nobody gives a rat’s dick most likely. Just give URLs to your favorite tech news sites and let them read the news themselves whenever!

Secondly, I am getting really good at CS. A vet on GameDomain server taught me a lot about knife fights and some other moves, and I’m great at long-range m4 kills now….. Bleys and I play on GD every single day. If only Snake would get on once in a while we’d look good in the stats.

Finally (aside from the fact that I got my learners’ finally, about to get a job), I’m going to paint The Wad!!! Yep, I’m going to Snake’s sometime next week and painting it. I will put up a GHettO post on Snake’s column about it when I’m done. I found a great tutorial on it at [H]ardOCP (again, just the link). It’s a little more involved than I thought. For it to look right, you have to sand the original paint off with an orbital sander; then clean and de-tack that to smooth it out; then apply primer and let that dry; then put 2 or 3 coats of the colored paint (I’ll be using spray paint [which color I use will be a surprise]) on and let that dry. I’m gonna strip the system of the casing, cause Addtronics lets you remove all sides, and bring it over– meanwhile giving me a good chance to install the new 128mb stick of RAM of I bought. That’s it- but a closing note: get out of the house sometimes! It’s better than you think.

Wow…and I thought last week was a slow week. I couldn’t find anything tech news worthy to post. Of course, if you’re hard up for news, [H]ardOCP always has more than anyone could possibly read. My report card came the other day and since I actually passed all my classes, my parents got me a digital camera. And, I think they should have saved their money for food and electricity, cause umm…this thing sucks. The only thing good about it is that I can take a picture and have it into Paint Shop Pro 7 in less than 30 seconds. That said, the thing sucks so bad that it doesn’t even have a flash and the resolution is 320×240. Ack! Here’s the best picture I could take with it:

I have to swivel my desk lamp up to provide enough light to see anything. Note that I was getting frustrated with the bastard when I took that picture (explaining the weird expression). Oh well, the camera makes a nice monitor ornament.
I know all you lamers don’t know the significance of my “slapping with a trout”, so here’s a screenshot from MIRC that should show you. Voila!

I did the Serious Sam demo review, but haven’t gotten around to the others cause I need to do some more playtesting. I also plan on making so additions to the downloads section and maybe soon the elderly links section. Adios, las perras!

This is the last thing today, I’m serious! I’m gonna go to bed after this and dream of fragging. A week ago I made a rough sketch of a planned Infiltration Deathmatch map after my English exam, it’s called DM-INF-Underworld. I believe I may have mentioned the idea to Quelog a couple weeks ago, but anyways, it’s based on a city sewer system. 50% of the map will be in darkness or near darkness (less than 64 light brightness) and CQB is the name of the game. I really want the P90 to (literally) shine in this map and to keep the damn M203ers from launching nades all over the place (which I will accomplish by putting in 3 different levels of sewer tunnels). The only tactics that you’ll have to use are listening for footsteps and effective use of lighting (or the lack of).
Alright, there’s your background information, now go check it out. downloads/sketch-lev1a.jpg (117kb) I know what I want certain bits of this map to look like, but am having trouble putting it all together. Give it a look, tell me if you like the idea so far.

Fucking goddamn son of a bitch shittin’ finally, school is out for Loog, Gandalf, and I. This school year was like an anal plague of diarrhea that wouldn’t stop, no matter how much you wiped your ass. Since it’s over with, I’ve been able to get some stuff done that I wanted to. Yesterday, I tested and tweaked with the VT6X4’s BIOS for hours and eventually came up with a stable and speedier solution that I’ll have outlined in an upcoming Guide Column. I say speedier cause I bumped up the Front Side Bus to 140Mhz which yielded 33Mhz more processing speed. Only a slight increase, but damned if I still can’t reach 150Mhz FSB. There’s a bottleneck somewhere in the AGP or RAM bus and I intend on finding it sooner or later.

Anyways, I finished two new Ghetto Articles that can be found here. The first is a follow-up to the intake system and the second is an extremely badass hardware execution. I had a lot of fun with these latest mods/trashing, so I hope you have fun reading them.
I think that’s about it, no time for the news because I’m getting pretty sleepy and all. But, you’ve probably noticed the recent graphics set change. Of course, the last was the sky set and this is the fire set. Kinda reminds me of a volcano or something. Enjoy, but please don’t steal it for your own uses, llamas.

I just thought that this was so fucking amazing that I had to post it: Quelog actually played Infiltration with me today (Slap! Not that kind of infiltration, fags!) and we pretty much kicked out the shit until some veteran LPBs got on. Of course, this was on {SOB}Houston. For some reason, I like that server and it’s not because of the ping. Anyways, get INF and we’ll OWN you there sometime.
