Distractions ^

Okay Dokay, I should have had this up yesterday but some stuff happened which distracted me. Anyway, heres 2 more reviews. Yes. 2. There would be more but people keep giving wackass links and return email address which are just crap. That kinda thing really annoys, using the wrong return email address. I mean how the hell am I meant to contact you? Huh... geesh. Erm... I sound like Scary. Oh boy!
Anyway, the UKPak is now out. Theres an interview with UKPak head bloke, Aardappel, at the site which is well worth a look. Also heres the two download links for the pak at moment. Here and here(3.6Mb). Its been put up on cdrom.com so I'll sort out that link when it appears. I will, of course (smug mode on), will be doing a review of the pak. Initial plans go something like this: intro page, page per map and a conclusion. So you can expect a little 10 page review of it. I also want to include comments from people who play teamplay Quake to give their opinions on the maps. I was thinking of adding these comments into the reviews.
I got an email from João Teixeira, author of Brown Stuff (217Kb). (I mentioned this map on Thursday). Apparently he's lost the source for the map! DOH! There was some tweaks that João wanted to make. Unfortunately we won't see them =(.
Nothing else interesting has happened since Thursday. I have noticed that Terrafusion is a little quiet. Actually its too quiet. The grand plans of making it the custom map mecca seem to have gone of the boil. The majority of news updates seem to be done by Peej and actually I have had more news here, which is saying something. I hope things get back on track soon.
Haha. The return of the dark writing!
I bought Metal Gear Solid yesterday. 35 quid. Cheaper than I thought it would be. Interesting game. I love running up behind guards and breaking their necks before they have time to react. I read the review on The Adrenaline Vault and it got panned. I think the reviewer had a couple of valid points but for the most part he was talking complete toss.
Before I forget, the latest issue of Edge has some really cool news on the Playstation 2. Besides it dropping large lumps of brown stuff all over the Dreamcast and co, it'll be backwards compatitable with the Playstation. They say it will probably use software emulation to run old PSX games. Cool stuff!
