Gonzo has opened his own author site. Gonzo's Graveyard is its name and the screen shots of Warfare 3 look very tasty. I'm looking forward to playing it.

Peej has re-designed his site... again! Back in is the Quake 3 player. I love the logo. Very cool. Shambler getting shot gunned =). I also like the way he has connected it up to PeejnFrib so that he gets the headlines of the latest news there. Speaking of PnF, I see ProdigyXL now adds news there... looks like they'll have to rename the site.

You know thats just not funny. I mean how! Why? /me explodes.

Bad news on the review archive front. I had all the map names in a program which with the click of a button files out a new alphabetically sorted index, unfortunately I've lost the program and the database which had all stuff stored in. Dammit! Back to the drawing board.

Tom Hall's last .plan update is interesting, if completely unrelated.

So, I've played a few games against humans--time to play the world!

We've made a parody of the Kasparov vs. the World site, which is at:

with me playing the world!  This is the chess game for "the rest of us":

Well, if you're gonna suck, why not suck in public? :)

The site has a brief description of the rules of chess, so even if you don't know chess, you can learn.  Or you can vote like sheep for one of the moves the analysts suggest.  Woo hoo!

The analysts are all characters from the Bricks in Anachronox.  It's all in good fun, and it should be interesting to see how the game goes.
My chess skills are pretty crappy, but I've sent in my vote for the next move.

Its good to see John Carmack is regularly updating his .plan file again. The most recent ones have been of updates to q3a, but its insteresting to see whats happening anyway.

Replaced my mouse with one that works now. I'd be using the one which came with my puter which was ok, but had a decidedly cheap feel to it. Now I'm back with the good Intellimouse. For a change I thought I'd try out the USB version it, its certainly moves alot faster than a normal mouse.

Also got Ronin on DVD. Cool film. I'd not watched it properly on video but had heard about the extremely cool car chase in the film. What is good about DVD edition is the directors commentary of the film. I watched the car chase scenes with it on and he would tell you loads of cool facts about why he'd done this, that and the other.
