On my god. Death Row lost 3 matches before I even woke up and another just a while ago. I'll be there watching game 5. If you want to watch too, find out how at PGl.com

Um... I don't think anyone's gonna take Wabut. A Site called NameZone is offering a place where you can lay stake to your handle. If it was free it might be half decent, but it costs $3 so I really don't give a damn. I haven't had any problems with people taking the moniker Wabut...well except hotmail, but It straightened out and I'm now wabut@hotmail.com as well as wabut7@hotmail.com... heh. (Notice how those links can not be clicked upon. My Hotmail account is my mailing list account, so that whenever I'm bored, I can log on and read old news. big fun indeed)

...bite me.

Have a mouse/keyboard for my N64.. these damn controllers blow a load compared to a mouse.

damn everybody. Yesterday..er..this morning I was typing a nice rant about the ass sucking provider that is mines, but I ran out of time on my BBS before I could post it. well, they suck. I couldn't do a domain name look-up this morning and was restricted to ip addresses. Unfortunatly, I.. like everyone else, do not write down the ip address of servers. well fuck them. DAmnit. this was better yesterday when I had it all in capslock and bold. oh well. Here's a direct quote from sCary which can be said about the people who work at my bull-shit provider.

Dorks with web pages who complain all day

Thank god I haven't bothered playing POker over the last week... Looks Like Mplayer may have been infected with the Cih virus and distributed it to anyone who updated their software. For those who don't know, for the last 2-3 weeks Datafox has been Pimping the poker area of Mplayer and now may be in risk of the virus. But he doesn't know this. yet. more when there is more to say..

Wired has a nice article posted from their April 1997 issue about everyones favorite downloads, warez. Its 11 pages of pure goodness. And it also includes something I didn't know about id and Quake. (I just love blockquotes.)

"Somebody actually broke into our then poorly secured network and started to download it[Quake] right before our eyes," [Mike] Wilson recalls."We managed to stop the transfer before he got all of it...

Intel cuts prices on their boards. So If my motherboard goes ker-plop a new one won't cost that much. Might get myself a 300 since its only $209. But this is weird. um... read....

Lucas Arts released the Grim Fandango demo which is the going to be one of the best adventure games to be released. The 57 meg demo can be downloaded from here. You can also get a bunch of add-ons to improve the demo. Like 46 megs of movies. Wow. Or just ge tit withough sound-fx, and music for a nice 21 megs. read more about this kick-ass game at mixnmojo.com.

I haven't spammed the news page with uselss ranting in a while... might as well since I'll probably never use the Other Sutff page again.

Sin is cool. Not better than Quake2, but this is barely a percentage of the full game. The biggest difference is the change of pace of course. It feels slower during Single Player, but this is most likely due to the limited weapons in the second level. Which brings up something about the levels. When they said it would have 2 levels, I was under the impression of 2 run_around_find_the_key_kick_some_Ass levels. I feel gipped because of the helicopter turret level. There's not much to that portion. But if you can do that in Multiplayer, it'll all be worth it.

One of the cool things in Sin is the 3rd person perspective like duke3d. It's use, however, is questionable. There's not crosshair in that mode, which leads to horrible aim. And using the sniper rifle in this mode is useless, right?

I also experienced a bug the first 2 times i was going through the single player portion of the game. It would lock up and I'd have to restart the level. The game also slowed down everyonce in a while, even though my computer is thousands of times better than the min. requirements. It wasn't just me though. Essobie from Ra2io had the same problem.

I have not played Multiplayer yet, as all the servers give me a connection refused error because they're overcrowded. It doesn't seem that cool however. I don't know If I want this game for the multiplayer portion or not.

The single player portion is great. The video sequences are way cool. So, this game is Goldeneye. Definetly. Sin reminds me a lot of GoldenEye. Although its a good game, it just doesn't have that great feel to it. But this is without the surplus extra weapons and all the other goodies.

Warning to those who haven't downloaded Sin yet
There are reports that some copies of the Sin Demo have the CIh virus on it. So download it from the Ritual servers and not untrustable mirrors.

Players who download the Sin demo from the Activision Web site between July 26 and August 30 can enter a random drawing to win a top-of-the-line Micron computer system that features a 3Dfx Voodoo card, as well as dozens of second and third prizes, including five 3Dfx Voodoo cards and 25 Sinday T-shirts

More Carmack speech info can be found at GaGames. And whats different in this version? read on...

That sounded funnier the first time I wrote it...

Goodies from the CPL about Quake 3 : Arena from John Carmack can be read at Blue'sNews. It has a lot of that good technical jargon that means nothing to me. Grrreat. Most important part? new name..no longer just Quake Arena but instead Quake 3 arena. wow.

Sinday, BLoody Sinday is practically upon us. This is from Ritualistic...Clip....

Demo will be 37 megs, the Ritual crew is FURIOUSLY bug-fixing and getting the demo ready for SiNday, and they are shooting for earliest release time possible, but it may/may not be Sat 12:01am. They are saying "When It's Done" and first sites to recieve it will be Ritualistic!!, Gamecenter, Activision, and the Ritual page. Then onto the mirrors from there..

Another Rip. This time its a virus warning. Looks like this virus is most common among... what else but warez sites. It has also been found a Windows 98 Service pack. Great, eh?

At present, all four known versions of the CIH Virus are connected to the date of the 26th. The first two are programmed to trigger on the 26th of April. The third takes action on the 26th of June. And the fourth, and least common, drops its payload on the 26th of every month.

Isn't this nice... I've just been disconnected from my crappy ISP while I was editing this. It's great how they have the best timing.

Early News updates are fun... oh well.. I'll just rip a news quote from PLanetHardware.com

More big news from Intel! They have just announced plans for two new processors, codenamed Coppermine and Cascade. While little is known about the two yet, we do know that both will be based on a 0.18 micron fabrication process, which all Intel plants will be shifting to over time. Coppermine will be focused on the desktop/mobile market, while Cascade is focused on the high-end server market. Both of these are expected to debut in 1999.

Quick News update in the morning....clipped from news.com: GeoCities is looking to raise up to $66.5 million with its initial public offering. The online community site said it wants to float out 4.75 million shares, and has set a price range of between $12 and $14 a share.
