Less than happy is an understatement. My
3DFX Voodoo 3 card has just had it's last breath and now
I'm using some old ATI card as a temporary measure until
I can afford a new decent model (going from 32Mb to 4Mb
sucks big time). Just grabbed myself a copy of DarkBasic.
Been running a few demos and they all seem pretty good -
despite running at a mind-bogglingly slow 8 frames per
second!!! I think that a game may be along soon, though
how soon depends upon cash flow!
Seeing that I haven't updated in a fair old while I
thought that I better tell you the situation. Been flat
out doing stuff recently and so the site hasn't changed
much. In the works are 1) A random fact generator so if
you know any really cool ones - gimmie an email and
you'll get a credit 2) An updated version of my PSO FAQ
3) Game creation packages under the microscope (ie -
reviewed) and 4) other stuff depending on you ....
I really need to know what you either like or dislike
about the site. Therefore, I'll be putting up one or two
questions on this page next update that you can vote for.
So have a look around and see what you most like and most
dislike about the place.
PS - Giraffes can lick their own ears :)
28th April
I've just got back from an interview at college.
Automatic acceptance rules! Feelin' a little groovy at
the moment. Updates are going slow - sorry!
21st April
Alrighty then! I'm sorry about the blackjack game - I've
had problems with the uploading of stuff onto the site. I
may have to use a different server for my zips and just
use links :( Anyway, after sitting and watching Lawrence
of Arabia until 6am yesterday morning I decided to make a
downloads page. You can use it to grab just about
anything you want off the site. You'll also find the
first PUBLIC release of LST creator, so fans of sideshows
in AVI2MPG2 will be happy! Oh - I've added a couple more
sites to the links part of the JNB page. More soon!
15th April
I don't know why I'm so slack at the moment. It's the
easter blues I think. As I couldn't find a piece of
Tenchi Music for my MOD I didn't bother uploading the
other stuff - Sorry! I've spent the last week or so
playing on Grandia II and writing another FAQ - this time
for Scooby Doo's Classic Caper for the Gameboy Color.
I'll be revising for a while, so next update may be a
week or so off!
10th April
Today isn't a good day! It's just gone half five in the
morning & I have a stinking cold :( To make matters
worse I have a cat chasing a mouse round my feet
(literally)! Still - I've decided to let you have a look
at my Blackjack game. As I said, I've made it MOD-able.
OK, so it's a bit sh*tty, but you gotta start
somewhere...
9th April
It's just another manic Monday! I've had quite a popular
response to Nice 'n' Icy - I'm glad I released it. End of
last week I went on a shopping spree. I managed to get
Grandia II (Good Game) and a copy of Blitz Basic.
Therefore I've been playing around with those. I've
managed to make myself a little Blackjack/Pontoon Game
with Blitz. It's text only, but I think I'll release it
with some MOD features (sound, backing music, etc).
6th April
I admit it - I've been slacking! I failed my
exam (D'oh) and was a little depressed, so I didn't do
anything for a few days. To make up for it, I've done the
following load:
Jump 'n' Bump Level added.
Ideas that I've had for the site.
What's On TV Next Week.
2nd April
I've got an exam tomorrow - eek! I've hardly worked on
the site over the last week because of it :( I fancy a
game of PSO, but I don't think that I can be bothered to
go through the hastle. Depression, what a wonderful thing
- Makes updates really difficult!
1st April
Aren't Tastebreaks the nicest things you EVER TASTED!!!!
I love the new pasta range - all thick & creamy.
Dunno if I'll release the "Nice 'n' Icy" Level
for JNB - It may be seen as a poor attempt at a level
rather than of a minimalist design. You can now download
my first FAQ! It's an Online strategy guide for PSO. You
can read it right here!
27th March
I've added a link to a fantastic Jump 'n' Bump Page.
Click the banner bellow to go there. You've simply got to
download the cool Sonic Levels! More updates soon!
BattleM@n is now at level 100.
25th March
British Summer Time Starts although it doesn't
seem a lot like summer to me! BattleM@n is up to level 46
- been working a lot on that. Friday's "Spaced"
was fantastic. Look out for Darius (a.k.a Britney Mark 2)
on Buzzcocks this Monday on BBC2 - I'm pretty sure It'll
be the funniest thing I see all week. Strangely, I'm
again listening to Rob D! Hmm.... So far I've downloaded
about 20Mb worth of Jump 'n' Bump levels. Found a couple
that are really good. Been playing on them far too much
;)
21st March
It snowed today! BattleM@n is up to level 35!
WooHoo! No need to buy an Action Replay now ;) The Links
page is now up and running. It's nowhere near finished,
but it's on it's way! Listening to Rob D's Clubbed to
Death - one of the best songs of The Matrix's soundtrack.
You can E-mail me at [email protected] if you have
anything you want to contribute. I'm currently working on
a new JNB level. It will be nice and icy :)
20th March
The heating is finally fixed - hooray! Whilst
writing I'm listening to Daft Punk's new album. Pretty
cool, but sounds an awful lot like Les Rhythmes
Digitales' last album! The JNB page has been updated. Now
includes my first ever JNB level. I'll update again soon.
BTW, BattleM@n on PSO is now up to level 27. Phew - that
took ages (over 26 hours!)
19th March
The heating is still buggered! The weekend
sucked big-time. Highlights included watching the last
popstars and Dave Gorman on sunday night. I've just
created a front-end for the fantastic game Jump 'N' Bump!
Check out the JNB page for information about one of the
greatest Freeware games around!
16th March
It's Red Nose Day. People going round looking
like complete dickheads and saying 'It's for Charity'!
Big Brother inspired me to watch my Jack Dee Video last
night. Fantastic! I'd forgotten just how funny it
was.Wondering now if the beeb will make a Dave Gorman
DVD. Hope So...
PS - Good Luck Mr Dee - We know you'll win!
15th March
Bored & Cold - The story of my life! The
heating system packed in. Now I'm just waiting for the
Xploder DC codes to come out for PSO. BattleM@n is still
only at about level 13. Had a good online game with a few
people tho'. Today I managed to watch the entire first
series of Spaced with my sister. Best britcom since the
League Of Gentlemen IMHO - better than that Royle Family
Sh*te!
14th March
Got a PS2 today!?!? For a quick rundown on the
events, go to the misc page. Watched Big Bro. Jack was
particularly good again tonight. I think that it is a
pretty sure bet that he will be the overall winner. Let's
all vote off Keith! The reason for this is two fold. One
- Anthea & Clare are not true competition and Two - I
hate that smug g'et from Boyzone!!!!!
13th March
Tonight's Television looks rather fantastic. I
can't wait to watch Celebrity Big Brother. Jack Dee's
still in the house - hooray! Isn't it weird how no-one
even nominated Vanessa in the first episode, but less
than three days later she is chucked out! Let's hope
Anthea is out next :)
11th March
S**T!!! Lola is dead!!!! Memory card died on me!
Now I'll have to start all over again at level 1 without
any decent weapons or equipment :( New name is BattleM@n
(in case you didn't know)
