Plagued by Vague Feelings of Dissatisfaction 22/02/02 16:09 GMT
Sam needs your help! Things are now so bad for him that he must beg to survive. You can see his plight in more detail on the Misc page under the Images section.

New Stuffs... 15/02/02 23:54 GMT
I'm contributing to qBlood, and subsequently BloodBath. A new version of BloodBath is out, reaching v0.90. Click here for a FilePlanet download, or here for a non-FP DL. It contains a map (CPBB03) that I helped convert. More importantly, this is a stand-alone TC, so even if you don't have Quake, you can still play it. Neat, eh?

New IRC LotD is up, too, so head on over to the Misc page for a few cheap laughs. I'll try to update the maps page to reflect the maps and projects I've contributed to, so stay tuned for that.

Ranting and Raving Lunatics 30/01/02 23:36 GMT
I installed Clive Barker's Undying today. I haven't played it yet, but I'm hoping it will give me some nice inspiritation for RPGSP2. Anyway, I posted this at QMap, and it gave me an excuse to update here, so I did. I ripped it and pasted it below to save you a precious click of the mouse. You can thank me later.
Undying has such an intuitive naming system that while the game was installing I was not only able to deduce what all the locations in the game were and what they looked like, but I was also able to figure out the entire plot, including how the game ended! Amazing, eh? If they keep this up, they'll only need to sell you the names of the files and not their contents. Think about it! It's the future of game development! Creation times cut to almost nothing, while prices drop by 75%! A revolution of the electronic gaming industry is at hand, and this is surely the next great leap.
I've also formatted the old news pages so that if I change the site design I can just leave them as they are and not bother converting them. Or at least that's the theory...

I may update "later" with a mini-review of RtCW.

New Portrait and Llamas 16/01/02 17:05 GMT
CardO has made another portrait of the two of us. It's up on the Misc page along with more IRC llama of the day. I've also modified the About page a bit. /me continues to pretend that you care.

Anyway, I'm off for now. Maybe something new soonish. Maybe not.

General Pervertedness and Insanities 15/01/02 00:17 GMT
See the Misc page for updated IRC LotD and a new pic.

Blathering Drivel of the Soul 13/01/02 00:01 GMT
This code disturbs my thought process, which is surely good, as it indulges me to think of comparitively more sane thoughts and feelings.

My thoughts wander into odd realms of my mind where my inner desires and feelings are blatant and true. If I could submerse myself into this place perhaps then I could truely realise what I want and what I should do. But this inner place frightens me; it dares, goads, and pushes me where I don't want to go. Filled with torment, torture, self loathing, and grief, this inner chaos both defines me, and is yet something foreign. As it is, my life is a mere shell, projecting a calm exterior onto the world, convincing all but myself. My inner thoughts are tumultuous and inexplicable, always returning to the same conclusion: an end. My end. This end seems inevitable, but repulses me. But it does seem to be what I desire, as my thoughts always return here, yet at the same time it is something I fear. Yet the inevitable is inexorable by definition, so what can I do?

This depression seems to come over me only at night, usually once every two or three days. If I resist it and guide my thoughts elsewhere then it will leave me. Yet I am a weak being. But not only am I weak, often I imerse myself in these thoughts intentionally, either trying to find their meaning, or because if I give into them then maybe the end will come. It seems easier to go through the storm then to avoid it. Or perhaps I am like a beaten woman returning to her man; beaten and bruised, coming back for more. I seek to understand my surroundings, but I fail to understand even myself. I seek to control my environment, but I cannot even control myself. If I cannot control even myself, then what can I ever hope to hold sway over?

Either these thoughts are leaving me now, or my thoughts are wandering to other, safer regions. Maybe I have become distracted by something. Either way, this is always the case. I would not wish this as a permenant state of being onto anyway; not even one whom I abhor above all others. There will be more despiration to come, there is no doubt about that. But until it comes forth again, you may browse the updated drivel in the IRC LotD log on the Misc page.

New LotD Log Collection 01/01/02 22:17 GMT
Fr3n collected the IRC LotD posts at QMap and threw them together into one file. I converted that to HTML. The log is up on the Misc page under the apt title "qmaplotd".

The normal LotD log has been updated with new quotes as well.

Happy New Year! + Site Goes Live 01/01/02 00:00 GMT
The site is now officially up and open! Some points of interest include The Scrapyard on the Maps page for an interesting scrapped map, and The Misc page for a portrait of the unstoppable love machine known as CardO and I, as well as some amusing IRC logs.

I haven't been doing much lately except working on this site and sitting around doing nothing. A little mapping and a little RtCW on the side, but mostly nothing. I may try to make some barebones layout plus item maps and get a DM map done soon, but I seem to s4wk at making DM maps so I might not.

Anyway, a happy happy joy joy new year to all, and to all a goodnight.
