First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Apr 16, 2001 7:04am PDTWell I hope those of you who celebrated had a nice Easter. For reasons unknown (anyone know?) we have two Easter days here so tonight I'm having the whole family dinner thing without much going on yesterday (besides eating too many chocolate eggs). Steve should be around to keep you covered while I'm gone though. I just know you'll miss me. Just a month until E3. Looking forward more and more to seeing all the cool games (consoles especially) there, wooh. Movie: As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll. Forum update: After an initially promising test today you guys still managed to break the stupid forum test thingy. (again...) It's back (again...), with a new set of fixes to help sustain its fragile life ... so this will hopefully be the last test before we can move on to real forums (Hmm.. We've heard THAT before..) ...so, go ahead, go break it.... again.

Few key items to remember first:
1. It is midnight.
2. I have driven 330 miles of a 410 mile trip.
3. I have a 1 year old and pregnant wife in the car.
4. I have been driving for 5 hours straight.
So I'm driving back home from the parents house in Upstate New York when I need to fill the gas tank. So I pull off the Mass Turnpike into one of those rest areas with a gas pump in it. So I proceed to put the nozzle in my tank and put the gas cap in to hold it while I stretch from being in the car for 5 damn hours. The gas is running when all of a sudden, it stops and says on the pump, "this pump has been stopped." So, I start it up again, and poof, it stops again. I start it again, and boom, again, stopped. I look in the little booth and some little pissant is like looking at me... So, I finally fill the tank and head into the booth. I used my credit card so I didn't have to go in, but I wanted to see what was up. I get in there and ask the little 18 yr old if he stopped my pump and he says yes. So, I am now getting pretty pissed off and ask why. He says it's cause I used the cap to keep the gas running. I proceed to scream at him saying that that is BS and call him an a-hole. Then, as I pass his little booth, he's looking at me so I then flick him off.
You believe the nerve of this little punk?
Besides this, I have been without an internet connection since last Thursday... What did I miss?

When playing serious sam, I see that every once in a while some surfaces are a color that they shouldn't be. (like a green wall when all the other walls are brown). I believe this to be a problem with the vid card (damn vodoo 4500), but I'm not so sure. I am wondering why some of the textures are different colors. Anyone else have this problem? (otherwize the game rox!)

It gives me a Privileged Instruction error no matter which port I specify.
It's pissing me off.

Billy was a kid who didn't fit in. He couldn't talk and he was lame, poor
little Billy just wasn't the same.
He couldn't leave the house, because of his face.
Last time he did, he met a can of mace.
But even Billy had his time, and it was Halloween. It was his favorite day -
A night to walk the earth unseen.
Other children won't point, won't laugh, won't harm.
Little girls won't run away in alarm.
Tiny Goblin, Tiny ghost and visions of the dead.
Little witch with her stick and Jack Pumpkin head.
Billy knew he fit right in, he didn't have to ask.
The only difference was, he wasn't wearing a mask.
