Evening Reading

by Maarten Goldstein, Jun 28, 2000 5:08pm PDT

Related Topics – Games: PC

Again some collected news items for you to enjoy (or not, whatever).

- FragZone has a Tribes 2 interview, talking to producer Dave Georgeson about the game.
- Tweak3D has posted a tweak guide for Nihilistic's Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption, showing how to optimize the game settings to match your system. On the topic of Nihilistic, Steve Tietze has left the company. Stomped has contact info and also word he's available for contract work.
- NVidia introduced the GeForce2 MX today, a budget GeForce2 priced at only $119. Anand posted a review this morning, nvNews and FiringSquad have posted their own reviews complete with all the benchmarks.
- Stuck in MDK2? Interplay has posted another walkthrough for the game, this time offering help for level 9.
- Oh yeah if you were ever planning on writing the Russian president Putin, I suggest you don't make any mistakes such as forgetting an exclamation mark. Thanks Rosewood for that one.

Also I think Steve's system totally broke now (see this morning) or something, haven't heard or seen him for a while now. Maybe he's not the computer ninja he claims to be?

It's a conspiracy!!! Whatever "it" may be, it is indeed a conspiracy!

I went to tweak3d (which is linked off of this page) and read their LAN how-to (looking into one). On the last page, there was a link to this page:

Mmmm, tea is good. I've had about four in the last hour. Damn fourth day straight I've worked 8am to 11pm, and its sucks.

#64, Heh, yeah, I had to change the wording to "lots of people".. I got abotu 150-200 hits on that site when I had pics on there for the babe hunts, but the pic of Jack blew them away hit wise. Which is kind of disturbing that a pic of a guy mauling a taco gets more hits than babes.
