Ok, I got some new demos and HL mods: Delta Force 3 demo, Oni demo, CounterStrike, They Hunger, and USS Darkstar. I was never able to effectively play Hunger on my POS PC, so I’m replaying it. Delta Force 3 basically rocks, much better than the original. I am also replaying the fun but poorly plotted USS Darkstar. Of course, CounterStrike kicks ass, as everyone knows. Anyway, I’ve lessened my Deus playing a little, but I still want to post this: every week, for a month, I shall have the “Deus Strats”, official strategies by me; cool things I have discovered that I want to pass on to you. Okay, right into it:

Location: Brooklyn Naval Ship Yard
Mission: 8

-In the back of the main building, next to the two warehouses, there will be a side building with an opened garage. Next to this garage are three transfer trucks. Highlight a back door of the truck that you can access from the building. You will notice that the Door Strength is very low, and since this door is not barred, you can break it down with a weapon. I recommend a silent weapon (either a crowbar, knife, baton, or the wonderful Dragon’s Tooth Sword that you picked up in Hong Kong). If you use a louder weapon, a mech or guard could find you. Once you have hit the door twice and have broken in, smash only 2 of the 3 boxes, and pick up what comes from them. Put your weapon away, and pick up the remaining box. Now walk over with it to another truck, and set it down next to a door. Jump on it and use the same method to break into the other truck. Once you’re done in there, do the same thing about the box with the third truck. When you have raided all three trucks, break open that last box. You will find a lot of goodies here. Continue with your mission.

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.

Okay, so we had our practice on Friday, and it went great. We all showed up (except for Gand, who was excused) and had a great time, playing for more than 4 hours straight. The next day, things didnt go so well. I didnt even wake up in time for the game, and Snake was off somewheres doing something. After i realized that i had slept in too late, i got on MSN and talked to Countass for awhile. We had planned to have the game after i took a shower and loog played some deus, but Count left and things didn’t work out. About 5 hours later, Snake and I kicked some ass in Marines, and then finally we all (Snake, Loogie, and Myself) went and played TFC. While we were on Keys, we found out that some clan called [TpT] {WMNote: [FaGs]} had gotten Jr.Admin of the server. Needless to say, we were pissed. Loogie went on about it, but i played it cool and sucked up to the new Admin. What a cocklot! Some loser ass mofo’s who dont allow swearing of any sort took over our damn server! Anyways, we still pretty much kicked ass. We haven’t done much to work out that match with [eXeL] (or whatever the hell they are calling themselves now) but it’s gonna happen soon. On a side note, Loog officially made BrigGen, and i got a Soldiers Metal. By the way, i noticed that all of the news posts for this year were labeled “xx-xx-00”, and its not 2000 anymore…i fixed it. Arrr…while i am/was writing this, Count has informed me that he has quit and formed his own Counter-Strike Clan called “United Kingdom Terrorists”…it seems that everyone we recruit who is 13 quits and makes their own clan.

Roight….in response to the comment that no one but Snake ever posts any news, Gandalf the Cock will now make his first ever addition to the website. Not much going on in the clan. Loog and i played totalwar for about ten minutes. Loog and Snake are busy playing UT, Whilst I am playing some Final Fantasy 3 (Loog and Snake hate RPGs for some reason) and Liero, probably the best Dos game ever (see link below). Well, not much else happening, but life in Nottoway sucks. And now a comment on the new S&L logo. Awesome use of the graphics Snake. Personally it looks like SGL to me, but thats my opinion. Led Zeppelin Rules. This is Gandalf the great, the oddest of an already odd clan, signing off.

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, everyone, Snake is gone to North Carolina till the 25th, for Christmas, so it’s up to me to keep the site in order. I just now finished my January Column (actually named deccol.html), as promised. Hope you like it. Lately, I’ve been dilling around with Christmas stuff (i.e. wrapping presents, putting up tree, making cards), so I haven’t had much time to do anything else. However, I managed to play and beat Half-Life and make the beta for my first successful Unreal Tournament custom map, “TwoRooms”. All it has now is one big center room and two smaller rooms on either end, with light and about 15 player starts. No bugs, but still pretty simple. Reporting for Quelog, he wants you all to know that he just got a new computer swivel chair, and it kicks ass, and he’s in “nerd heaven”. This’ll probably be the last news anyone in the clan puts up for a while, so Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!!! [turns off Santa Claus WAV file]
