Daily Jazz...
Well I did tell you guys I would be
scarce for a little while. Sorry. I still have some major work stuff going on but there is
a break in sight soon I hope. When I do get some time I'm gonna be logging mad hours
playing online. Sorry for the absence. You guys can look me up on CLQ to confirm I just
have not been playing at all. Anyway...a lot of my stuff will be getting finalized by next
week it seems. Hopefully all of you have been playing together without me? See all of you
real soon.
Also we are doing some heavy duty planning on LAN
BLAST 2. We should have more details on that by next week also as FRaG GoD hinted in his
post. - Jazzman-X-[1:10 pm EST]

Slow news day
Well nobody has updated the news in a
few days so I'm throwing something up (not literally). I'm going to probably be
online tonight for an hour or two. I really need to play on those new CTF maps again
because I have no idea how to get around in them. I've played two of them for about
15 minutes each and was completely confused. They seem to be a bit bigger and
twisty-er than the old maps. Not as many big (laggy) open areas. I'll also
rack up some AQ frags, if our server is down then on Fool's Paradise (lostinfo.com).
They are running that new Axshun mod that is supposed to be incorporated into Action v1.5, which is due out
in 2 weeks or less.
From what I understand, some coders got impatient at
the painfully slow rate at which the new AQ updates were being released, so they wrote
their own version of Action Quake that fixed all the major bugs that everybody hated about
AQ, and added a couple new features. After the AQ guys got over the initial anger at
having their efforts ripped off, they agreed to work with these new guys and the new
combined code will be the next release of AQ.
I played on Fool's Paradise the other night and was
having severe problems with the Sniper Rifle against people who were crouching, but the
server op of that server told me that was a bug that has been fixed now. So we'll
see if there are any other bugs we can find. The IP address for Fool's Paradise is
209.198.22.20:27910
and the website is at http://lostinfo.com/quake2
On a side note, we might have a good spot for the
next LAN Blast party... More details in a week or two.
Also, any who has a cool picture of something, send
it to me. We need some more stuff for Pic
of the Week...
Oh and the Tom Green show starts tonight... MTV...
10:30pm. Show us the slut-mobile!

New Wrecker joins our ranks
Although we've decided to restrict new
members, we have one more Quaker to add today. Welcome new member CyRiS to our
ranks. He is mainly an AQ'er, and although we've had two recent AQ guys join, this
guy really wanted in. I know that at least 5 WC members have played with him on
separate occasions and he seems to be a cool guy and decent player so we'll let him on.
He also lives somewhere in Florida so maybe he'll be able to join in the crazy
maniac mayhem that will be LAN BLAST 2... GAME ON!!
So Congratulations CyRiS and may we all Live Long
And Frag.

Antimatter's scribblings finally understood
On a side note, I finally understand
what the hell Antimatter was saying on the 19th... I couldn't figure out what the heck a
"haysing" was... But now I get it, he was saying "hazing" like the
military school people got in trouble for... DOH! Just thought I'd post that in case
anyone else didn't get it either. :-)

*CTF
Practice tonight with IWG
CTF practice TONIGHT at 9:30pm.
If our server is down or acting up or whatever, then we'll try to get it on
Toasthaus. I don't know the address for it, so if that becomes necessary then ICQ
Gator for the IP address or something.

Jobujo tech corner
HOW BOUT THEM DAMN BIRDS?!?!?!?
WOOO!..........sorry, but the Falcons have sucked for soooo long!
Also thought I would pass this along:
Do not know how many of you have heard
about overclocking the celeron 300a to 450mhz.
For along time I thought it myth, urban
legend, what have you. Even waay back when the celery 266s were out I was hearing
shit about it but blew it, due to many of my own overclocking ventures in the past
resulting in failure and more than a few burned CPUs. But this one is for real. I am
currently running the 300a at 450mhz on an Abit BH-6 motherboard.
Intel Celeron 300a = $60
Abit BH-6 Mo.Board = $115
Total------------------------- $175
I went from p233 to basically p2450 for
less than $200.
I have benchmarked mine with another
legit 450 and there is no difference other than some of the math functions where the
over clocked celeron falls a little short.And that is because the 300a has only 128k L2
cache enabled. Physically, it has the same amount of cache as the p2450, but half of it is
disabled.
If Im late, and you all are already
aware of these facts, then just pat me on my back and say "Bout time you caught
on.."
If this is news to you, or if you have been
skeptical, well, go out and get a 300a and hop to it, cuz they ain't gonna be around
much longer... or so rumor has it.
Hell, ya cant beat $60 bux for a 450
processor. And do try and get the Abit BH-6 mother board, because it defeats pin B21 on
the celeron, which has to be done to achieve the 100mhz front side bus. Otherwise you have
to either cut out B21 or tape it or somehow keep it from making contact in the slot1
interface. The BH6 automatically fools it to thinking 100mhz is ok. All CPU clocking
handled in the bios, no jumpers.

Good Luck! -Jobujo

Jazz notes...
Sorry that I missed the practice last
night. Our meeting went on too long (as usual, heh) and I did not make it in time. I am
glad some guys from both clans were able to make it and have some fun. My work load should
slow down a bit soon so I can get some more gaming in. I posted the info from Jobujo
above. Sounds very cool. That old P166 of mine may get a boost soon...hmmm.... - Jazzman-X-[9:00

Cyris and 6e9 kick some ass...
Well can't say it was much of a
practice, but it sure was fun. V.Marv, and I showed up to kick some 6e9 butt, though it
turned out to be WC+6e9 vs. all. We teamed up and played against some very good LPBs. On
the last level (avenue11), Blake and I ganged up on a sub 70ms ping dude and just kicked
his ass! During this "practice" I also got a chance to see Cyris in
action. He did a great job, definitely played good when V.Marv and I where
struggling and played with a great attitude. Cyris definitely gave me a headache a few
times. ;) I do recommend Cyris to be initiated in the clan.. heh now comes the
haysing. <jk>. - AntiMatter-[11:34 pm EST]
Members site...
Remember that site? Hehe. Well I just
put up some kinda cool/interesting info there for you WC guys. If you do not have or
forgot the name and password to use to get in let either FRaG GoD, Freezer or myself know
and we will send it to you. Everyone remember that the member site info is just that
MEMBERS ONLY! (and I'm not talking about those old jackets either, hehe) The link to it is
over there on the left. Check it out and send any feedback to me. - Jazzman-X-[2:40
pm EST]
Jazz notes...
As you can see above I changed the
start time for the practice with 6e9 tonight to
9-930pm. This gives us an extra 30 minutes for
our meeting. So just show up between 9-930pm and then we will get started and lock server
down with our usual password around 935pm. Hopefully everyone will get this message. WC
guys relay it to 6e9'ers on the server if I am not there yet. Sorry for the push back but
a unfortunate turn of several events have caused the delay. - Jazzman-X-[2:40 pm

AQ2 practice tonight confirmed
I hope nobody was confused by the date
bar saying 17th for yesterday's post. Nobody wrote in to make fun of me anyway.
:) The practice is TONIGHT starting at 9pm. Blake of 6e9 confirmed it late last night. I
have also learned that ZapMan and myself will be at Jazzman's house for an important
meeting starting at 8pm, so we will probably be at least an hour late... BOO. Well
anyway everybody come and have a good time and whack those evil terrorist bastards' asses!
heheh

AQ2 practice tomorrow night
OK we have an AQ practice scheduled
with clan 6e9 tomorrow night (Tuesday, 19th) for tomorrow night. I posted a message on their
message board to make sure it is still on, but everyone assume that it's still a go.
Even if they don't show we can still play against the other people online.
And we can get a chance to see how good our latest applicant, CyRiS, is. So remember Tuesday, AQ server, 9pm.
We should also try to set up another CTF practice
with the HPK soon. Our last match was cut very short by a server crash, probably
caused by the new CTF version and Lithium conflicting. I asked Baddawgie if they
were willing to try again and he replied "hell
yeah...we are still ready and able to kick your asses". As soon as the next Lithium version comes out and everything
is running smooth, we should go at it again... and show 'em what's what. :-)

Blue's News has a new mirror site...
I recently got a link to this site from Jazzman-X... It
is amazing how much time was spent changing Blue's news updates into more amusing pages.
Check out the Fake Archive. All of the old pages seem to follow along with the
news for that day. It takes a little getting used to because they changed the names
of everything they make fun of, to protect the innocent (well to keep from getting
sued). No game, gaming company, or internet personality survives the wrath of Yellow There,
All The News That's Fit to Invent! Even VooDoo graphics get the smack down, as in
this excerpt:
HooDoo7 problems fixed.....
A patch for the drivers for the HooDoo7 released
last week has been posted on Rushedtech.com . This corrects the "hindu text pop ups" and the
"phantom Clintons" that were appearing in version 19 of Q2. They are still
working on a fix for the melting walls and purple sheep problem in Hexen2. "All
new technology has teething problems," A spokesperson commented, mere seconds
before beheading himself in an automatic door.
Pray team deny problems......
The development team behind PRAY: we ever get this finished. have refuted claims that the recent split in their ranks will delay the game
in any way. "The game is still on schedule to be very, very late.." Said a team
member. Yello can confirm industry concerns that the 'new' technology slated to appear in
the game may soon be overtaken by others. Already the electric light bulbs and steam
driven processors included are seeming slightly aged.
In Brief.........
"Happy birthday, happy birthday......aint we
great?????"........saw that on Planetcake.
"If he makes fun of me one more time I'll punch
the f*****r"..........saw that on Deadwoods .
"Spanish speaking cows assault
grannys".........Saw that on Drugs .
