Heres a batch of 6 for yah. Should have another 5 up later this week. Cauterizer has also come up with a couple of reviews.
Linux peeps will no doubt know that the Linux version of the Quake 3 Arena test is out. I'm just wondering as to which versions/brands of Linux the test can run on. I heard that Redhat and SuSe can't run it.
Pingu has moved from his Uni site over to the good old Planet Quake network. Nifty looking site. Theres also a link on Pingu's site to a guide on DHTML. Pretty impressive stuff.
Killjoy has moved his site back to good old Geocities (didn't we all start there?). I'll leave it to him to explain why. The main reason I mention his site though is because he's got some screenies up on some maps he's working on and its fugging cool stuff.
Not much has happened this week on the mapping front this week. Frib is working on a map and Peej is beta testing Strafin6 (yes I nabbed that news from Pingu's site =P). I've heard Headshot has plans for a second incarnation of the Qboard. I don't know whats planned but its meant to pretty good.
The competition is really heating up in the Omicron Duel Challenge. The top spot is taken by someone called Rum with an unbelievable score of 107 to 0 (0 being the bots score)! Watching the demo just makes me dizzy.
I also I had a look at this site earlier on it in the week. Its full of tips and info about Quake. I fell across it after the guy who ran it dropped some comments on not liking the look of the site, he didn't actually mention he ran the aforementioned site but a bit of detective work on my part digged that link up. Actually hes the first people to complain in about the 40k thats visited since I changed the look, so thats not too bad =P.
The 224 patch for Unreal has finally been released! Maybe its release has something to do with what Blue said. Is the patch worth 7Mb download... no it isn't. Its crashing more than 220 did, which is impressive.
Besides the q3atest, there is another game that I can't wait to get my hands on. Its Black and White by LionHead Studios. Everytime I see a new article on it, it just looks better and better. If you're interested have a read of this article on the game over at Next Generation Online.
I was given this link earlier today. Its called the WebCrawler SearchVoyeur. Basically you can see what people are searching for on WebCrawler. Some of stuff is unbelievable! There were a load of I want models name nude piccys, but some people do searchs for URL's. They put in an entire URL and search for it! Wierd people! Heres a list of some of the non-rude ones (well other than the last one) that made me laugh :
- whats the best way to fold towels
- history of the unicorn
- crazy stuff
- what is good remedy for swollen feet
- what suggestions do you have for presents for my mother
- crotch rockets
Heres another site that made me crack up laughing when I saw it. Y2K for Women. Yes you read that correctly, a site that explains the Y2K problem... for Women. I've got nothing against it, but its all very patronising and assumes the reader to be stupid... ah... erm... I'll stop while I'm ahead on this one. Sent flames here...
The order I sent for a copy of bleem! (Playstation emulator for the PC) has been accepted so I should be getting hold of that pretty soon. It costs just over $40's which isn't too bad. It works out at about 25 quid.
