by Maarten Goldstein, May 03, 2003 8:54am PDTNo LNC last night, sorry about that. I just didn't see enough material when I had time to post it. At least Jason should be back on Monday, as his cable connection should finally be working again this weekend. Alright, time to go see X-Men 2. Movie: It's me! Prove it! You're a dick. OK.

Also I wish these guys would go to a multiple person review score. Im so sick of editors that have a chip on their shoulder when they review something. Last month they gave Generals a 77% because of singleplayer campaign that was not linked by a story and the editor had his panties in a bunch because of the GLA not being politically correct. Ive been playing this game nonstop in multiplayer mode with friends using roger wilco, its very very fun. Yet multi got scant mention in the review, with the editor citing that the non-patched version crashed all the time, and they could barely play more than 2v2.
In the new issue I have they gave Postal 2 a 79%......thats the highest score i have seen for this game period. I have played through Postal 2 and it definately can be fun, but just lacks any professional production value. AI sucks, hit detection sucks, graphics suck, sound sucks, and load times suck huge.
Oh well....PC gamer has indeed changed...... /end rant

I've never played a Zelda game before <insert shame> but I'm a bit confused over how many rupees you can carry. I'm still on outset island and I cannot carry more than 200. How do you get to carry more and when?
Also I did not realise it was gonna be a loot 'em up. Do none of the characters mind when you loot their property of cash?

and
whats the fastest you've ever typed (or closest guess)
I hit ~180 once when I was really really relaxed one time/not even thinking in a typing class. (No errors, was one page by the way)
I've also hit 999999999 when I fell asleep and my head was on the keyboard.
I usually type about 40-60 though. totally self taught from gaming + quickly typing insults in a middle of a battle.

Vantage's Suggested MP3 of the Day
-------------------------------------------------
Yes! After a lengthy hiatus, the VSMOTD is back, hopefully for quite some time. Part of the reason there have been no VSMOTDs for a long long time is because of the banishment of character accounts. I had been posting the VSMOTD's under the "VSMOTD" account which wasn't REALLY a character account and made finding past/missed VSMOTDs much easier, but still nonadmissable, apparently. :( I have decided, however, that that's not a good reason to discontinue the VSMOTDs altogether, so here's to a brand new start!
Official VSMOTD: Collide - Halo
Link: http://njsr.org/pics/uploads/%5Bvsmotd%5D%20Collide%20-%20Halo.mp3
Collide is a group/duo from California that I came across about 6 months ago. They've released 3 albums now I believe. The VSMOTD and the other songs below are all from their most recent album, "Chasing the Ghost". Their music is somewhat unique, but I think you guys will really like it. It's sort of a mixture of Trip-Hop, Industrial/EBM, Gothic Synthpop with very luscious, sexy female vocals. Think Garbage meets NIN meets Delerium. The female vocalist, kaRIN, has a great voice.. Very sultry and somewhat similar to Garbage's Shirley Manson, though darker. All 4 of the songs I've uploaded are excellent, imo. I had an extremely tough time picking the VSMOTD from between them. On another day, I probably would have picked "Razor Sharp" as the VSMOTD, since it's at least as good as Halo, so make sure you download both of them :) Halo is more lively, while Razor Sharp is sexier. The other two songs, Wings of Steel and Monochrome are also very good.. Hell, the whole album is excellent! :) Anyways, hope you like the tunes. Lemme know what you think.

I always wanted a tablet, but I don't crap dollar bills. So would you say that ACECAD Acecat Flair USB Tablet at newegg is the best bang for the buck? it's around 50 bucks, twice cheaper than wacom's equivalent.

I looked at the back and it looked alot like that game that came out during the PS2 Launch (it was like a Romance of the 3 Kingdoms), that game was so fucking boring, I like some strategy games but jesus that one put me to sleep. Now I know you people are always raving about DW3/4 etc.. So um hook me up with some good gameplay footage and perhaps a nice review, plz purty plz

i can't believe it since the first one's demo was so mediocre to me.
some of your favorite weapons are here despite their star-trek names. there is a machine gun (phaser rifle), shot gun (enhanced compression something or other) and a really weak plaster type thing, like in quake2 (standard phaser).
The game-play is fast paced with a healthy amount of enemies on screen at once. The game borrows alot from half-life with health and power rechargers on the walls. There is even a conversation with some friendlies that sounds like it's right out of HL. "I'm not going to someplace... it's too dangerous!, We need somebody to go get the power on/go to the weapons locker"
So the stuff that drives this game is the stuff that drives any other shooter. Find the red key for the red door. You pretty much know that with any shooter. I don't find fault with not being a revolutionary game.
This one is polished enough for a fun single person diversion. The scripted sequences flow nicely, and the buddy AI doesn't get in the way. There's nothing worse than spending the whole game trying to prevent your teammate from getting killed or lost.
I liked it despite the star trek stuff, so i'd imagine if you're really into trek you'd go wild.
