New AQ model/skin pak
This came out a few days ago but I forgot to put an update for it.  There is a new model pak that includes some of the new models and skins to go with them that people have made recently.  Some of them are in use on quite a few servers, so downloading this will save you from downloading it more slowly later on while in Quake.  

Oh and we really need a new list of servers for our Servers Pages... Whenever I come online to play Quake, I go to the servers page and there is usually only 1 server on each page that is actually up.  That is not useful at all.  If any of you have GameSpy installed or you know the address of a good CTF or AQ server that has a pretty good ping and usually has people on it, send it to me so we can get this thing updated!

Shit list update...
Well it looks as though I have been selected to take part in an experiment at MIT to study the phenomenon of "Moron Magnetism" it seems this phenomenon only strikes 1 in 15 billion and wouldn't you freaking know it..I'm afflicted with it.  Man when can I catch a break..geez..

Frag God amused...
I don't know what is funnier, the fact that a clan has an entire page devoted to their collective "Shit List", or the fact that our own humble Freezer has managed to be one of only 3 people on it.   heheheh  I was expecting some little news update on their site saying how some dick named Freezer was a major ass or something, but NO they actually DO have a huge image to click on and a page with The Shit List. 

On a side note, I guess Freezer is back in town.   Glad to see him back in action...  :)   I swear these people must gravitate towards him because I hardly ever see immature punks on Quake servers anymore unless he's there.  heheh

Freezer's babble...
Well, well, well...It was brought to my attention today that yours truly is on a clans (Keg o' WhoopAss) Shit list.   How?  Well to put it in other words, it's a clan run by little children who do nothing more than complain and think they rule.  I just happened to mention this to them (as did several others) and they took offense...AWWWW  So go look at this lame page and have a good laugh..I know I did.. - Freezer [7:39pm EST]

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]

Cartoon for the day...
Just saw this over at Loonygames. Sorry if it is a little blurred. Seems I have heard this before, hehe.

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 266’s 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 CPU’s. 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 I’m 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 can’t 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.

For more technical info and complete coverage, check out: www.tomshardware.com

Good Luck! -Jobujo -[9:00 am EST]

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 am EST]

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 EST]

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 .

Zap Notes....
Nah, nah, nah, we just knock a couple of walls out and Gator's house will be plenty big enough. Who needs a "kitchen" anyway? Frag God and I live perfectly well without ever using ours. :)

I just wanted to say that I have not forgotten the "Humble Solution" and you may be seeing it sometime this year, although in a slightly different form. -ZapMan [19:30pm EST]

Freezer's Notes....
Ok as of today I will be out of town until Thursday sometime, so if you send me any email and want a reply don't wonder why you never get it.

It's good to see Antimatter has finally done something with his worthless life, umm I mean free time..hehe  Good luck.

Welcome to Malebolgia, a very nice addition to our clan. 

Gator I don't know about Viking, Remember what happened last time??  Took them how long to release a new version?

Jazz, Lan Blast II lets really look into renting something or finding a larger venue due to some enlargement of participation, sorry Gator your house ain't that big..hehehe

Well I'll see you all Thursday night or Friday some time try not to miss me that much..hehe  - Freezer

January 15, 1999

New member and applicants....
First of all I want to welcome Malebolgia (hope I got spelling right?). He is a new member signed up by Gator I believe. He is a very good CTF player. He also lives in Naples so that makes even one more person for our next LAN BLAST.

We have had a flurry of new people wanting in lately. Just so you all know I as of right now am not handling new member signups. Gator and Freezer are doing all of that. If you ever have someone to recommend or whatever send it to them. They are much better and quicker about sifting through applicants and picking those that can handle our demolition site work best. Right now we are not really signing up any new members...unless they are just so cool we cant live without them. The recent additions of Malebolgia, Jobujo and Violent Marv have really paid off (they are all great players) and we don't want to just sign people up to swell our numbers.

I also want to make it clear to all members...if you recommend someone you better be damn sure about them. We are taking your word for it that the guy is cool. If turns out to be a major ass then you are responsible. The way I look at it is unless you have played with the guy for like 6 or 7 hours (or more preferably) or know him personally don't recommend or suggest anything to him. Do not try to get a guy after just playing one night with him.

Guys like the 3 we signed were guys we were very familiar with. Hell, I had played with Violent Marv for dozens of hours before I signed him up. Jobujo and I had done a lot of talking on the AQ message board so I knew we were on the same page. Malebolgia had played for weeks on our CTF server before we signed him up. See what I mean? Just be VERY sure about anyone you send our way.- Jazzman-X-[11:00 am EST]

CTF Server
Right now I understand the CTF server is running ok but the lithium stuff is not working as it should. So.....for now I am going to leave it alone and will look at the Lithium stuff on Monday. I guess right now it is running as just regular CTF? I have been too sick to try. Have you guys tried to use the BW-Admin access? That should still work since it loads it before the mod. Anyway, you guys try to give me a little more feedback if you get the chance. - Jazzman-X-[11:00 am EST]

LAN BLAST 2
Ok, I have had some people start asking about our next LAN BLAST party. We have not set a date yet. I would like some feedback from you guys. I know Jundice and Antimatter really wanted to be at the next one. Can you guys email me telling me when the next time will be that you will be in town and maybe we can get it scheduled to work out for that. Right now I am kinda looking at around...mid February or so.

Let me know. I am looking at maybe trying to find a place we can rent...like at a hotel, one of their conference rooms or something. Let me know what you all think about that. For this LAN BLAST we are also gonna try to schedule specific events, contests and give away some goofy/cool prizes. Any ideas are welcome also. - Jazzman-X-[11:00 am EST]

Jazzman has new killer attack dog...
Just wanted to let you guys know I have a new dog. She is a mean, fierce, agitated, killer, blood thirsty.....Golden Retriever. Hehe, yeah I know she just likes to play and cuddle right now but....she's gonna be a killer. Hehe, I might put a picture up on here of her killing a plastic soldier or something for your entertainment.- Jazzman-X-[11:00 am EST]

Toxoph's PC back in action
Toxoph has reported that his system is working again. He installed a second HD so he could have more room for Q2 mods and maps (hehe). So you guys should start seeing more of him starting now.- Jazzman-X-[11:00 am EST]

Jazzman is back..sorta...
Ok a couple things... you can see above we have kinda rescheduled the AQ practice with 6e9 for next Tuesday. I have not gotten a confirmation from them yet but hopefully it will work. I will let you know.

I am like 90% recovered now. Only problem right now is I have no voice. FRaG GoD and Zapman heard me yesterday...guys it got worse. Now I only sound like I am whispering. Oh well..should be better by tomorrow I hope.

Next week we are gonna get back in the swing of things with the clan. We are gonna get practices and matches going again. We had the holidays..etc going on but that's over now. Time to whip you punks back into shape!! As I said before Zapman, FRaG God and myself will be very busy the rest of this week. You should start to hear and see us a lot more next week.- Jazzman-X-[11:00 am EST]

AntiMatter does College...
Well, I've finally done it.  Got off my ass and started studying again. (doh).  But at least I'm taking some kewl classes.  Java programming and advanced calculus and stuff. I knew I was not in high school anymore when I walked outta my first class and saw a D.J from a rock station jamming some tunes in the commons.

Well the moral of the story is, don't expect to see much activity from me right now.  Once I get a feel of how much work I'm gonna be doing each week I'll start showing my greatness around here again. :)

In other news, any STB-TnT owners out there, get the new 1.52 certified patch.  It fixed a LOT of problems in both Unreal and general video/overlay playback.  A new Unreal 2.21 patch will be coming out with core TnT support that's supposed to blow away the Glide support that originally came with it.   Multitexturing, shadow stencil buffers and more kewl stuff. Goto www.rivazone.com.

CTF server upgraded...
I upgraded server to 1.50 today. I also added the 3 new maps into rotation (q2ctf6,q2ctf7 & q2ctf8). I cannot test if there are any problems with the new version and Lithium on the server. Seemed to start fine but I am not sure... So any of you that can test the server out tonight let me know if there is any problems I need to fix. Also try to check out the new maps and let me know how they are. - Jazzman-X-[2:00 pm EST]

FRaG babbles bout stuff
Well I knew there was a AQ scrimmage against 6e9 tonight, but I couldn't make it.  I don't know who all showed up or whatever.  Hopefully we should be soon rid of these connection hassles...  My computer was occupied with a lot of browser windows and text files open with important stuff in them, and I have to reboot my computer to use the modem for networking, so I didn't want to do that.  So I went down to the little computer room to try and use the ONE (1) computer they have set up that will allow Quake to get through the firewall, and some queer was on it the whole time typing stupid crap to his friend with AOL Instant Messenger.  And of course he was there for hours, because people who have nothing to say naturally take a very long time to say it.  So eventually I gave up and came back up and watched Chris Rock tell jokes on TV.  Then I realized it was 1:00 in the morning and I needed to start my homework.  So I did that and now here I am telling you about it.  So let me know how the practice went and stuff.

Has anyone gotten a chance to play on those new CTF maps that came out with the new version?  Yeah, there's new maps in the pak, that's why it was so big to download.  If anyone has let us know if they're any good and if we should add them to the server and stuff.

What is going on in WC?
Some of you are I am sure wondering what has happen to several of us lately. Well I have as many of you knew been sick. I was better the last day or so but today I am now coming down with something new. My throat hurts so bad right now I can hardly talk and I have a very painful headache. Anyway...that along with a few other things have been happening. I just want to explain real quick what some people have been doing before everyone thinks we have been murdered or something.

Toxoph has been having major computer problems the last week or so (started by installing a new HD). He is about 75% fixed but he is still having problems getting his Monster 3D card working properly. He should have all his problems solved in the next day or so.

FRaG GoD was also having major computer problems spurred on by a new motherboard installation. I think he is for the most part fixed now.

Over the next week or so FRaG God, Zapman and myself will be kinda scarce still. As some of you know we have a biz that we own and run. We have some deadlines and important things going on this week. These items will demand a great deal of attention from us so we will not be online playing or doing much of anything until we complete everything. This should only last a week or two at the most. Everyone please understand that this is very high level stuff or I would not even be mentioning it. I want to play as much as anyone but between being sick and this important work for our company I cannot free up the time this week and perhaps some of next week. We were to have a AQ practice tonight with 6e9. I may try to make it as my last hurrah for a week or so. If not I will at least come in at 9pm and get the server all set up and running for you guys to play. - Jazzman-X-[12:50 pm EST]

Shortest CTF match ever recorded
Last night's match against the HPK lasted a grand total of about 20 seconds.  About 3 members on each team showed up early and played some practice rounds until about 10pm.  By then we had 4 on 4 with Jundice on the way, so we decided to start the match.  I changed the level to q2ctf3 to start the official round, and at least 3 people overflowed and disconnected.  For those of us who were not overflowed, some strange shit was happening with the server.   As soon as I entered the game, which was about 6 seconds after the map changed, it showed our team as having already scored a capture, and the little red flag icon was blinking like it does just after you score.  But it never stopped blinking, and the message of the day wouldn't disappear off my screen.  I decided to restart it again, hoping that these problems would reset, and I got overflowed and had to restart my own computer.  When I logged back on, the server was down and everyone was in ICQ looking for another server to play on.  So eventually most of us ended up going to some other server and joining the game already in progress there.  (I took a screen shot of the scores right before I left, it was a bloodbath) 

The only thing I can think of is that maybe there was a problem with version conflicts or something.  Myself and Gator had already upgraded to the new CTF v1.50 files, but some of the other players and probably the server were still using v1.02.  Anyway, everyone should go grab the new CTF files and hopefully we'll be able to reschedule with HPK one more time.  From the 20 mins of practice I played against them, it looked like it would be a real good match.  Hopefully we can actually get to play them soon.  We can even play on the new maps that come with the upgrade.  I haven't looked at them yet but it should be pretty interesting since no one's ever seen them before.

Weekly Frag God ramblings
OK I wasn't totally victorious when I made that last post...  How dare I think that a computer problem could be so easily fixed?!  After spending several more days messing with it I think I have everything in working order.  This involved formatting all 3 of my hard drives (don't ask) and setting my Plug 'n Play modem to use jumper settings for IRQ and stuff, manually deleting registry entries, and all that good stuff.  I have tested out Q2 online twice now and it seems to be running well.  Much better than before, even with the crappier phone line.  For the few hours I played AQ, I was wreaking major havoc with the Sniper Rifle on almost every level, which is quite cool.  I can also actually use the M4 now since it no longer takes 3 seconds to process each M4 round.  CTF was not as bad with the CPU lag as AQ was, but there should still be some improvement.

Jazz Sick..
Now I see how FRaG GoD beat down his cold...He gave it to Jazzman-X.  Anyway in Jazz's absence and in the future..   If the servers are down and Jazz is unavailable for whatever reason don't ask me or Gator if we can start them back up..We can't.  If you can figure out a way for the server to be self sustaining we'd surely like to hear how it can be done.  There is one way but I don't think the program is worth its $30 registration fee.  Any way Get well soon Jazz... - Freezer [12:27am EST]

OGL supports Action Quake?
If I wasn't seeing things on the Action Quake web site, it looks as though the OGL has started support for Action Quake, I think this would be a good thing for those of us who play Action Quake.  Let me or Jazz know if you feel like this is a good move, I have been wanting to sign up for CTF on the OGL but I know another Wrecking Crew clan is already there and I didn't want to start a confusing situation.  I will still look into it to see if it will fly. - Freezer  [12:20am EST]

CTF MATCH (HPK)...
I need everyone interested in doing this match, this Friday at 10:00pm EST to respond to GATOR saying yea or nea.  We were supposed to have this match a couple of weeks ago but it was a forgotten thing.   This time we need at least 6 people to show up and play.  This is extremely important that you reply. - Freezer [12:15am EST]

Happy New Year!!
Gee, I like the fact that I get to make the first update to the news in this new year.  Since I'm a little late reading it I'm wishing Toxoph a happy birthday, I'm assuming its his 400th? hehe, yeah and you can poke fun at me on sunday Toxoph, as my birthday is then.. 

I recently obtained Half-Life and have been trying to play that, I don't think I've made it out of the first level yet, then again playing for a half an hour every few days isn't going to break any speed records.  I have enjoyed what I have seen so far in the game I just have to find more time to play it.  I haven't tried multiplayer yet, but I guess some year I may try that..

The practice the other night against 6e9 was quite fun, I can't remember that last time I saw so many M4's in one level..it seems like there has been a resurgence in M4 usage since that firing range stuff appeared.  If my machine wouldn't lag so damn much when I try to use that weapon I might be using it as well.   It was fun to watch people with 100 pings destroy people with the M4 before you even got a shot off. 

Happy New Year!! - Freezer [10:57am EST]
