The new IOTD is finally upon us. I must agree with the motto in the image as well, that is what porking is all about, love! Think you're captain funny guy and got a caption? Enter the caption contest and win a big wet one from Huntsman! Oh yeah and the index of all IOTD I got about 3/4ths done.

The winner for the IOTD contest for the last contest goes to gibson for : "Megan, ah! Thanks! I was trying to recall her name!" -- President Clinton."  Here is a list of all the entries.

Previous IOTD's:  starwar.gif (captions) doggie.jpg (captions) gates.jpg (captions) parade.jpg (captions) hotcurry.jpg (captions) msteam.jpg & realmsteam.jpg (captions)  unfunf.jpg (captions) cat.jpg (captions) paint.jpg (captions) nuts.jpg keyboard.jpg theguys.jpg tattoo2.jpg aussie.jpg spears.jpg ms.jpg clint2.jpg drunke3.jpg q2chick.jpg fruit1 fruit2 fruit3 fruit4 and fruit5

Finally made it home. No more plane trips! All kinds of stuff to catch you guys up on, I'll work through the night and see what I can come up with. Things should finally resume like normal, IOTD and weekly stuff included.

Figured you guys might get a kick out of this. Some dude set a world record and put the Canadians back in their place in Pac-Man. The perfect game, 256 levels, every powerup and ghost gobbled. Thanks faust.

GA seems to be down right now, so I'll have to take Blue's word for it that "The New Wave Of 3D Action part II on GA-Source concludes their look at some 24 upcoming third-person action games looking at Nocturne, Heavy Metal: FAKK 2, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Loose Cannon, Alone in the Dark 4, Gothic, Titanium Angels, Shadowman, Evolva, The Glyphs, Saboteur and NOX."

Rage "eye candy" Software's Expendable is reviewed over at 3DGaming.net. (Oh yeah, if you're into AD&D, don't forget to "shag the wizard chick")

Gamespot UK wasn't entirely impressed by the controversial Kingpin (warning label and all).

With all those 3DG.N quickies flooding in, there's bound to be a bitchslap (this time they get medieval on game endings)

Yeah, it's me again. Cry me a river...heh :-) I bought a new 3M PMS (whee, water ripples!) and on several of your recommendations, a large Everglide Attack Pad as well. Hey, if I don't like it, I can cut my vegetables on it or something.

Well now, to make a long story short I didnt plan very well for the extended trip I took up to Seattle this past holiday weekend. Compound that with the hardware I had ordered to enable me to update remotely not showing up (Thanks Gateway, you guys are up there with Hercules) and the damn hotel I stayed at having some retarded "data line" stuff going on which made modem calls impossible and it wasnt pretty. Marcus seems to have taken pretty good care of you guys though thankfully. It looks like the new news system and comment stuff is really taking off though, I'll be flying the rest of the way home tomorrow and work my butt off to make it up to you guys. Expect some late-late night stuff tonight as well.

I can feel the wave of Kingpin stuff just flooding in now. Just some of the many reviews: Gamepost's, Game-over's, and Glide Underground's.

Tweak3D posted a quick Kingpin tweaking guide, telling you how to get that extra performance out of the game. The guide covers visual tweaks, sound tweaks and internet tweaks.

Damage Gaming posted a Kingpin walkthrough.

Ho boy, here's some more AvsP stuff, this time at Review Zone.

The guys over at Planet Daikatana posted a 13.5Mb big ZIP archive with all the Daikatana screenshots from the net.

The Hive briefly runs down the 3d shooters that are currently in development.

Gamers Central posted a preview of Valve's upcoming Team-Fortress 2.

I think it's time for a new mousepad. This 3M PMS just isn't cutting it anymore, so I'm gonna pick another one up soon. With a groovy pattern- none of this purple weave crap. And no, I'm not going to spend $40 on the bigass one ;-)

Hopefully I'll get around to checking out Kingpin and TA: Kingdoms sometime this week instead of reading all these reviews.
