Ok, so I haven’t posted in like 3 weeks… oh well, I don’t have too terribly much to say anyway 😛 .

“The Gloss”… it’s simply amazing. I love going to it, adding to it, and just looking through it (and correcting errors by certain Rets ). Check it out.

µhhhh… NOLF is a great game, I just finished it… extremely fun, and the ending is just inspired. I have here a few screens, of course…

I added a new POTM that Que sent me and…yeh, the random thing in the top frame. It provides both useful information and humor every time you visit. 😛

S&L – WE don’t even know what the “L” stands for anymore. LOL, I crack myself up. 8)

For anyone who may be considering getting the StarBand satellite internet connection, there’s something you need to know first: You will not be able to play online games. The only proof you need is in this email I got in query as to my greatest concern.

Dear Snake,

Thank you for contacting StarBand technical support. StarBand customers see an average ping time of 700ms to 900ms. Again, thank you for your inquiry. If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact, or check out our website at www.starband.com.

Sincerely,
Jim

There’s a lot of other limitations to having a shitsucking ping, too, but gaming is the big blow. I figure most satellite services are no different, but at least they use the phone line for uploads. I’m sticking with the 56K goodness yet again. The StarBand tech support was really prompt, though.

On a cooler note, go check out the new video over at Tom’s. Linkage.

The subject has nothing to do with my actual posts, but I just happened to realize that it’s all like…December and shit. The last 2 days have been a daze, so I didn’t really catch it. Anyways, here we go…

I took the Demoboard code and rewrote a lot of it to accompany the new S&L Glossary a few nights ago. It took only about 5 hours to complete but I’m quite pleased with what it and myself are capable of doing. This time around it uses a common CSS file for a lot of the page properties and such, so it’s actually noticably faster when loading for you fellow 56Kers. Last time I looked there were 50 definitions already, so you can go check it out and may actually learn something here. I’ll add a link to it in the top frame once we reach 100 definitions.

I was poking around my favorite hardware sites today whilst eating and found some KT266A goodness. First off, I’m so fucking glad that Abit finally released their version of Via’s KT266A North Bridge Chipset, the KR7A. I was beginning to get worried that they wouldn’t make one…this mother fucker is on my list of things to get with Christmas dinero now. Check it out over at [H]ardOCP. Then, over at Tom’s Hardware Guide, they have a nifty roundup of 11 KT266A Mobos (excluding Abit’s offering of goodness, the KR7A) and 2 nForce Mobos. The Soyo SY-K7V and MSI K7T266 Pro2 look very swooby indeed, but I’m an Abit whore.

And finally, I’d like to announce that way too many llamas play DF3. This is not necessarily a bad thing, though, especially since I lag on every server like a cock sucking dick (no, I dunno what it means either, but it sounds bad). But come on, you don’t run straight for someone with a .50cal sniper rifle and expect to win. Here’s a sshot of the massacre:

Looks like Snake and Loog’s ISP is suffering from DNS failure or something. Snake explains that a DNS is “domain name server,” the thing that changes a web address to an IP (like http://www.s–l.com to whatever the IP is.) I dont know bout that shit, but it means that they, and the rest of their town, cant view webpages or use AIM or anything else that querys the DNS. Sucks for them!

On a mind-boggelingly higher magnitude of good news, Kathleen is BACK! Thats right, bitches, after over a year of complete disappearence, our collective girlfriend has returned! She says that she will be on once in awhile now, so i guess we can still keep in contact with her. What a freakin surprise.. im searching morpheus for another version of Planet of the Apes (the Heston version.. im not a fag,) because the one i have janks up bout 10 mins in.. and then suddenly someone signes on MSN.. “Kanadian Kiss”!! I was like meta-“wtf?!” It was her, allright.. we chatted for about an hour, but loog didnt want to talk to her for some unexplained reason, and Snake was off to the movies with Gandalf and Rachael. It was fun to update her, because she was surprised about everything.. she said that she has simply been busy with work and school, and that she had missed us. I hope its not another year before we talk to her again!

Oh yea, and i opened my bank account today. Im gonna invest some money in stocks and shit.. this ownz joo! I can just rap off some checks if i feel like it.. my card will get here in about a week or something…so, keep on maintaining your inferiority, my loyal fans!

I beat Red Faction (Factino as Loog and I call it) yesterday, what a shitty ending. The Geo-Mod engine was cool, but it’s not worth getting the game for it; the demo shows you the true extent of it. I could see where it’ll be cool in multi-player, though. Time to beat: 9 Hours. I didn’t cheat like some editor did, either (cough..cough..Loogie..cough). Here’s a tip to beating the boss bitch (whatever her name is): Shoot her little faggot craft with the rail driver twice, then run for the nearest ladder and crouch in the rafters. It takes 4 fusion rockets to defeat her shield and only one rail to kill her. The bomb down the lift has a random code, so just be really fucking fast.

OK, second and last thing: Darkhalo…this mother fucker is cool. 8) His site has awesome music and awesome digital artwork. I haven’t downloaded one mp3 (made in a tracker, though) that wasn’t excellent in some way. May I recommend succubus remix and moonlight embrace. The address is http://www.newelement.org/josh.
