For some reason, Snake didn’t post about this, but as you can see, he finished the new background set late last night… and all the colors are good w/ it… and he modified one of the S&L logos above. Also, you can now click on a logo, and it’ll instantly load the next one… try it.

Like my revised logo?

Whoa, HTML escape characters are int… here’s a big list of them. So is <CODE>. Don’t forget ", &, <, and >, too.

After school today, me and Gr-Dragon were cruisin the tech stores. We went to CompUSA and then BestBuy, and debated brands and whether or not the prices were highway robbery compared to online shopping (the agreement was that sometimes its just worth the extra few bucks to have the item in your hands immediately.) He was trying to get me to buy Serious Sam when i spotted Global Operations! With a “Sweetz0rz!” i grabbed it up. When i got home, i installed it (of course) and it runs pretty damn well. Great graphics, but the problem is that theyre too good. Its hard to know who to kill when its raining and dark outside, and everyone’s camouflage looks the same. Plus theres no map and no directions. Overall, it seems to me that this is exactly what TeamFortress2 was supposed to be like. I dont know if its a ripoff or what, but it wouldnt surprise me if TF2 got bought out or something and Global Ops is its incarnation. Anyways, im about to dive into MP, so ill report more about the game later…

Oh, yea, and BTW.. whilst i was away at school today, my parents got into my room and “cleaned” it! They threw away all of my precious junk and garbage! My slackers hovel is ruined! 😡

EDIT…
I Forgot about this….

I am an Asteroid. I am a drifter. I go where life leads, which makes me usually a very calm and content sort of person. That or thoroughly apathetic. Usually I keep on doing whatever I’m doing, and it takes something special to make me change my mind. What Video Game Character Are You?

Loog and I kicked the site’s ass back to the age of the fire texture set. Soon, I hope to have a totally new set anyways. There are many minor changes all over the site. Some of the major fixes have been the Column Index, adding a new POTM, Loogie‘s continuing repairs to the archived news, and the CSS files.

I hope you find it int (I know I do) and enjoy the new textures and other boomage. 😉

Life pauses for a week so most of you losers can get drunk every night, but at S&L, we code every night. 8)

Wednesday, I reviewed the suprisingly good WWII combat flight-simulation IL-2 Sturmovik.

Thursday, I bucked on most of school. 😉

Friday, I watched Star Trek: Next Generation, Lethal Weapon, and Midway. Then, I was about to code some shit and instead fell asleep. 😕

Today, I made a autogenerated sitemap, found here. It builds itself every time you go to the page, so it’s always current. Also, Loogie and I are reorganizing the news directory structure. So, if some news pics don’t show up, that’s why.

Earlier in the week, I was fucking around with Ghost Recon (after beating it for the 4th time) and found that it’s extremely easy to mod to your liking. Just about all the information is in ascii format. I changed all the kits, names, and some of the weapon properties. A silenced L96A1…pure sweetness.

The Windows98 Tweak Guide has been updated again…you owe it to your llama computer to check it out. Well, back to work.

In Snake‘s absence (grounded from Net for interim History grades 😛 ), I have completed the project he started… the Win98 Tweak Guide column.

There are 17 tweaks in it, plus some other assorted boom features. Read it here, or via the Columns index 8) .

I learned a couple of boom tricks for CS today and yesterday… actually, they’re the same trick, just in different maps.

Due to Half-Life’s amazingly old and unfixed engine, sometimes when a roof is too thin, you can jump through it. This is the case in parts of cs_assault, cs_italy, and de_aztec, and it can be very useful for popping up to unsuspecting llamas above and goin 1337 on em. All you have to do is get someone else to crouch, you duck-jump on them, and then they stand up. Look at the SSs of them below, and be sure to read the alt text and info for the enlarged pic to see where the areas are in the map.

And plz notice that I have another news post below this 8) .
