Anyway on with the news...

Finally got around to setting up my own account details here at MPQ. I'd been using Smash's account up until last Wednesday. (So if you'd wanted to get into the site you could of Smash =P). I mentioned this because the people who sorted it out were so quick. These people do a great job running and hosting all the wonderful sites you see on the PQ network.

Speaking of sites. I've been told I can finally mention the fact that Kable and Inferno's site, Caleb's Crypt, has now got hosting on PlanetBlood. Go take a peek at his and Inferno's mad ramblings (That is if you're a Blood 2 fan).

UKPak team released a set of beta (Quake) maps this week. This is truely amazing stuff. They look superb. Haven't had chance to play them yet, just have a look around. So you can download the beta from either here or here (3.2MB). These guys want feedback on them so once you've played them go email them what you think.

XLProdigy has moved his site to Terrafusion (His site appears to be down at the moment though). To celebrate this he has released a Quake 2 map, XLDM6 - XL Speed Junky (254Kb).

Escher has released a map(241Kb). Its a Quake 2 conversion of the Quake map Ultraviolent. The conversion is done extremely well. The lighting is very moody. I personally would like to see a conversion of De Bello Quakero or Razzi Amari.

Gamespyder was launched earlier this week. To explain what it is I did a cut and paste from their site:

GameSpyder is a complete categorized and searchable index of gaming web sites -- just what you're looking for. Built from the remains of the late great "SlipGate Central," we think you'll dig the new system.

Well I sort of dig it... I've added MPQ there. Tried a search for it, came up with 456 matches. It could take awhile to get too. Oh well.

The Adrenaline Vault has had a re-design. Its miles better than the previous look, which took ages to load.

Just read this on sCary's. AMD losing money. Thats funny. Go read this CNN article on it.

Got hold of Simcity 3000 and F-Zero X earlier this week. SC3000 is damn cool. I think I'll end up playing alot it of. Same goes for F-Zero X. It may lack trackside detail but its one fun game!!!

Finally played more Zelda. I'm now in the Forest Temple. Will this game ever end?
