I would like to say a big congratulations to Pingu on getting a job at Rebellion. For those pondering as to who they are they made Alien vs Predator and Rainbow 6. Speaking of AvP, the official AvP site has opened. It looks like a joint venture between Rebellion, Fox and Stomped. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing the maps he creates there on whatever projects he works on. Well done and good luck, yah swine =).

Shambler pictures!!! Send them in. Please! Pretty please?

Also looks like the counter is b0rked. Its been set back to zero which is a bit of pisser. I'll go shout at someone and get it sorted out.

Over at Peej'n'Fribs,.Frib has pointed out an interesting article on camping. Frib makes his opinion on it very clear, basically stating the author is talking out of his arse. I totally agree with him on this. Camping is not on. I think someone should create a mod which if a player camps for too long it wheel clamps to the spot and removes all player control, then alerts all other players of their whereabouts via sirens and text. Yeah... Clamp-a-fugging-camper. What a good idea!

There is an excellent article on 3D Action Planet (shock, horror! 3DAP with original site content) about John Carmacks lecture at the QuakeCon 99. Very interesting reading.

I see madness has taken over the Qboard. The thread of interest is Maps I made. Absolutely brillaint. I've refrained from entering my comments on it just because its become a bollocks fest now. Another, more sensible, thread worth mentioning is 'Mapping' history set up by Peekaboom. Seems to have switched towards Doom editing at moment. Which was something I really loved doing. Maybe I should have another go at making a Quake map ;).

I have a love, hate relationship with Real Jukebox. On the one hand its good that I can just waste nearly 2 and a half Gigs worth of space by recording some of my CD collection onto the computer so I can easily listen to it without messing about and swapping CD's. The annoying thing is when Windows decides to do some swap file caching or when I load up a program I get Rapmaster Fugwit stuttering from it. Its also annoying when listening to a mix CD, when it gets to the end of track you have a pause whilst it loads up the next track. The idea of a mix CD is for music to seamlessly blend together. Oh well.

I thought it was about time I started to tidy things up on my computer. So I moved the 2 months of emails (1000+) in my inbox to the correct areas only to get 30 more in today. I dunno. I also decided to sort out my download dir. I got a bit of shock when I saw its was nearing the 900Mb. Thats in the 5 months since I got this new computer. Not bad though, works out as 180Mb a month! Its all these damn Quake maps that do it.
