| nightmare bot challenge
you may have seen this on news sites ages ago. it’s good. you just beat the shit out of 4 “nightmare” bots, trying to get the top score. the page is
href="http://quaddenied.free.fr/bot/presentation.htm#uk">here. scoring is, “your frags -minus- bots frags”. you are supposed to use a dedicated server and connect to that (pfff). good to play offline because you’ve got to time and aim and hide – helps teh skills. stick on the music and mess away at it. top score seems to be at 124 at the moment, which is very beat-able. the scores page hasn’t been updated in ages, so either the real score is higher or everyone has lost interest. execute
href="http://quaddenied.free.fr/data/bot/server-qd.cfg">this cfg and change your maxfps to 142 if you are playing on a listen server. don’t ask me why, just do it.
go on, you know you want to
pc’s dying
win2k died on me a few days ago, no reason. it’s about the third install of win2k that just went. now i’m on a very shaky winme install. ideally, i’d have win2k and win98se on dual boot, but one can’t get a working win98se and win2k is a leper anyway. the graphics card fan has started to whine really loudly. the ingenious solution is to bludgeon the case with the keyboard until it shuts up. winme sees fit to give out of memory messages when i’ve 90mb free, reset my haxxed 200hz ps2 to 80hz every start up, take a whole 3 minutes more to start up and photoshop takes about a year to load on it.
pc’s = gay

saik’s been playing qw duels, mostly against bunny, overlord and k^h^h^h heel. people always say qw is impossible to start. it’d be nice if a q2eer like saik proved them wrong. however it's without a doubt the hardest thing saik’s ever played. saik played the mighty drexciyain at cpma a while back and despite him being quite the cunt, the saik "knows" saik'd catch up on cpma far far quicker. it's the pace of qw that gets to saik and saik is probably only going at a snails pace. dm4 totally fucks with saik’s head. saik is used to all his clunk clunk q3 footsteps, hit-beeps but qw has none of that. saik hasn’t watched demos to figure strats and starts yet. people have 100h spawns with shotguns, so it's spawn rape ahoy hoy. you really do need someone who knows the game to play with and tell you shit, because you'd be really hard pressed to pick it up on your own. it’s do-able on isdn, the movement is fast, teh shaft is vicious and mid airs come thick and fast. lots of fun. (written like a winnar, in 3rd person, thx to bunny n8)
qw = deadly, but hard

this poxy piece of shit game has got demo recording now in a beta patch. which means i might have a second look. if only the bastards did the smart thing and put fancy graphics on qw - or has cpma already done that? as killy says, you are like some stupid bouncy crab thing. latching onto walls and then “pouncing”. the levels i played were painful - even the (graphically) magic antalus. antlers, antalus, get it? arse is closer. lets hope fatal1ty tears the shit out of everyone at the cpl, but in a very boring way, so that it doesn’t catch on. i’m not going to complain about spammy guns, as that’s what qw seems to be about.
please die ut2k3
photoshop
all the problems with pc’s make you very sceptical about anything to do with them. everything has a gay little “issue”. (news on 800dpi logitech gay issue, at bottom of column) i’m sure the same holds for photoshop, but i haven’t found it yet. it seems to be perfect – worth every penny i paid for it. i did a modded image for the ’70 site.
photoshop = win
’70
have not been up to much really. i’m on holidays now, so hopefully we can play some.
timenudge
apparently it doesn’t exist anymore, and if it doesn’t exist it can’t do anything can it - especially not to shaft on lan. so cpl wcg etc should be game for everyone using –50 on lan. only non-sarcastic thing i can add is i know that positive tn was disabled after 1.27. arqon

demos that i looked at
cccp – ck, wasn’t great really, laggy gtv demos, dropped sounds etc. there were an awful number of timeouts, all due to punkbuster. people said the end of the 3 demos was great, a last second win on dm7. well it wasn’t great at all - cause the game was already decided at 2 - 0.
aaa – dc, was brilliant. 3 maps, all going aaa’s way. the quad/bs-runs and the “get the powerpu and win teh gaem” parts by kazu rocked. it looked aaa knew the maps and each other much better. blunt wasn’t playing for dc, i think abyss took his place. does it matter? clanbase report and demos

the mx500 seems to be “doing it” for the guys around here. an anonymous user brought us
href="http://www28.brinkster.com/alphas/db/article1.asp">this link. it’s untested as yet but it sounds like 800dpi for yu0. i am using the silvery intellimouse explorer 3.0. i’d buy an mx500 but i can’t afford one. i tried various things with my explorer. koopa’s setup was sweet when i tried it, so i wanted something similarly “slidey”. first thing was i used a plank + taped feet, slidey enough. then i changed the feet. i took off the plastic feet, took out the screws, gummed the whole thing up with blu tack. pressed it shut, taped the sides. stuck ball bearings in the screw wells. got the level/height right using bits of paper and more blu tack. i robbed one of koopa’s old wingman pads, the setup rocked for a week or two. then the wingman got a huge lump, so it had to go. back to the allsop i went. pain, i really hate it. yesterday i stole a laminated sign from college and taped it to the desk. it rocks! much better than anything i’ve used. hitting all sorts of jam shots now. grrreat!
slidey = win
all over the place and very hard to read. i’m sure all 2 of ye are glad to hear that’s all for now.
