So this guy signs my GuestBook bitching about a post that appeared over at Sherry’s site (which I host). I would think that the two sites are different enough in look and maybe even attitude that one wouldn’t mistake mine for hers. Of course maybe Sherry can take this as a compliment or even possibly as an insult.

I have deleted this pinheads post from the GuestBook. Sherry has a link clearly labeled guestbook. So go and sign her guestbook pinhead. Another thing it’s just a fucking pepsi can. Jesus I hate people like you. A pepsi can. Anyway if you want to see what the pinhead got all flustered about go look at Sherry site. Here is a link to an article the pinhead left.

Well I have taken the plunge and offered to do the website for the Dark Age of Camelot guild I’m in. The Acolytes Of Destruction is the name of the guild. The site can be found here. It’s a work in progress and my second actual try at this whole web design stuff. So that’s why I have been very quiet as of late.

The hardest part is getting the html to work with all the different browsers. I don’t really know html as good as I should, so I use FrontPage to make my pages. I have managed to get the guild site to play nice with Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Mozilla. Opera doesn’t like it and I can’t figure out why. I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

Well you should have known that I was going to throw up some shots of the Dark Age of Camelot expansion pack Shrouded Isles. There would have been four more but the servers were coming down. But don’t worry I will snap off some more later.

So far it’s not bad. I was a little worried when I saw the printed requirements on the box. The box recommends Pentium III 1.4 GHz processor and the preferred video card is a GeForce 4 Ti. I’m happy to report that it runs fine, even at my usual resolution of 1152×864.

The graphics upgrade is nice. But I feel that this should have been offered also as a free download. But hey what can you do? I have only briefly explored some of the new continent that Albion gets. I do dig the new interface. They also give you some options for adjusting sound and video settings without quiting to the menu. I will have more screen shots later. It’s time for bed, for me.

The Forum now has two registered members counting me. The newsiest member is Iggy. Iggy who is one of the original viewers of this website. Iggy has her own Greatest Hit’s and her own section of this website called Dear Iggy. So this would be a good time to register for the forum. All I can say is welcome back Iggy!

Well I got my disks for the Star Wars Galaxies beta. But I have yet been able to play. It appears they have the servers up only at certain times. So I’m waiting to see what it will be like.

I stopped playing Earth and Beyond. It was lots of fun at first. But after week it was boring. That’s ok. Because Dark Age of Camelot has it’s first expansion pack coming out today. Shrouded Isles is the name of the expansion pack. It will add more content and upgrade the graphics engine. It also is supposed to have a improved interface. But I hadn’t seen any released screens of it. So I did a search on Google and found one. It looks pretty slick.

I was going to wait to pick up the expansion, but I may have to go get it today.

Did you hear about how an early version of Doom 3 was leaked onto the net? This was so big it even made CNN. It’s been floating around the net now for almost a month and I finally got a hold of a copy. I know that this is wrong. At least form id’s stand point. And I do happen to agree with them.

But I’m only human. I found a real copy and I had to download it. I won’t give the link out so don’t even ask. Find it yourself. I now know that my computer has once again joined the lowend. I have a AMD Athlon 1.2, Thunderbird with 512mb’s of ram, a GeForce 3 video card, and a nice big 80 gig harddrive. Doom 3 laughs at my pathetic computer. My computer is shit.

I have to run the leaked alpha at 640×480. Everything is on by default graphics wise. I get a very low 6-8 frames per second. God forbid more than one monster is attacking. Wow, playing Doom 3 just doesn’t make me care about my now pathetic computer. What a game. The monster detail is amazing even at 640×480. Here are 6 screenshots of the doom 3 Alpha leek:

By the way, if you have the leak I do have a link for you. It’s to a forum post that explains how to make the alpha work. This’ll Help U Get Doom Running OK is the name of the post. One thing it forgets to mention is the fact that clicking Single Player and then New Game will make the game crash.

The South Beloit Sobos are the Class 1A State Champions! The Sobos beat El Paso 50-22. The IHSA has a page with all kinds of stats right here. Congratulations to Shipley and crew.

**Update** The IHSA also has another page here that has play by play summaries, box scores, and quotes.
