Just a heads-up for those who were waiting for this patch (I've seen a few posts about it in the various FFvTR threads).

New JonoF port of Duke3D
Homepage: http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/index.php?p=jfduke3d
16 February 2005 - Net code test released
A release is out that includes a feature many have been waiting for: network play. We are labelling this a 'test release' to gauge the reliability of the port before making it the stable release. Have a try with your friends and see how things go. Notes on limitations, things to watch out for, and how to set things up are in the release notes. It's not hugely pretty at the moment, but that will change quite soon.

I just came back from seing Constantine and I fucking liked it. The athmosphere of the movie, the story, the religious/occult background of it.
It reminded me somewhat of End of Days even though Keanu is no Arnie (take that however you want)
It's a definite GO SEE IT

"if I see keanu die with his arms spread out Jesus-style again I'm going to fucking lose it"
and lo and behold!! the fact that he flicks off the devil while doing it DOES sort of redeem it, though.
good flick
Basically, its just a rundown of the good and the not so good out of this. As a barometer, my favorite bands are Foo Fighters, Minus the Bear, HUM, and random pop music. I also watch the OC religiously and own both of their Mix CDs (How I heard about the Killers).
The Good
The Postal Service - Give up (Fuck Yea.)
Interpol - Antics, Turn off the Bright Lights (Even Bigger Fuck Yea)
The Killers - Hot Fuss (I had this album on repeat for probably three weeks straight)
The Moderate (Good, but not my Type)
The Flaming Lips - Soft Bulletin (Not really my type, but I sort of dig it)
The Requires-More-Listens group
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Shins - Chutes too Narrow

We are heading in the wrong direction people! We need to be able to set our gore levels to ultraviolent and blow peoples heads off, and manipulate their poor lifeless bodies! Whos with me?
I'm wondering if its possible to mod a game to add a gore patch, not just blood like some games like BF42 had, but actual limb removal ect but at the same time you can play with people who dont have said mod.

I'm not dumb enough to expect people to sign up for this out of the kindness of their heart, so I've decided to give away a ton of games and other stuff (like complete legit anime VCD sets) in exchange for completed referrals.

Yes I'm completely serious. I did this to get an iPod and it worked out for everyone involved. If you're offended by the idea of a Gratis network post, just move along and pretend this wasn't posted here.

That in itself is not really interesting/facinating, but is kinda is in this context: we were at the movies (saw Constantine, and LIKED it) and there was a mother with her two teenage daughters, at least 300-lbs each. They EACH ordered the largest possible tub of popcorn with butter, and two 64-oz sodas a piece. It was a disgusting display of gluttony, though I was super curious to see if they all finished them after the movie.

web sites opening new windows*
yes? no? noc?
I have a site I'm making that features images and website and media work - alot of images of art and photography and some semi-working site mockups and a couple video files - I need a good way for someone be able to simply and easily browse them.
in the past I've used ye olde jabbaskribt new windows method, custom sized for each image. I just dont feel it worked that well. with a group of up to a dozen images in a gallery, a person browsing the site can clutter up the desktop with all kinds of new windows pretty fast, and cant easily return to a previously viewed image very easily. I want to be able to have the images be a nice size - some up to approx 640x480 - but fitting that into the "window" of the site I have already got running is a PITA.
:/ actually you could just say "screw the shackpoll" part of this post - anyone got good examples of sites that solve this kind of problem, mb?
