November 4th, 1998Hardware Has a Reason for its NameUgh, sorry about the lack of updates lately. I got my new motherboard that I ordered for my new Riva TNT video card (Yes, I bought the motherboard to go with the video card... needed and AGP slot), and, as usual, many problems occurred. My modem has some conflict that it didn't have before, so I haven't been online the past few days. Now, for some reason, Win95 takes a good 30+ minutes to boot... at least. Not only that, but I managed to screw up my WindowsNT kernel, and when I tried to reinstall it (for the 5th or 6th time this year), I ran out of disk space... so I deleted some stuff and tried again. When I tried to "repair" it, it continuously reboots with the message "Setup is now rebooting." ARGH! So I now have a freshly installed WinNT (again) that I have to redo all my settings, re-register all the software, etc... Ugh :P You might ask "Is it worth all this for a video card?" YES! The Riva TNT kicks so much ass! It does to the Voodoo what the Voodoo does to software. "Wow." Screenshots don't do it justice... tho I will still be posting some :) Great Gib OlympicsIt's not really paintball related, but I got first place in Quake1 DM at the Great Gib Olympics. W00T! I'll have to put a pic up of the medal (cpu painted gold) and trophy (motherboard painted gold, mounted on a 2x4), as well as the other little misc. useless stuff I got if/when I get my scanner working. You don't know the term "insane" 'till you get 30+ people on DM4 on a LAN. This was my basic strategy: 1. Find a powerful weapon quickly (preferably rocket launcher). 2. Aim toward the largest bunch of people, and fire till you die. 3. Spawn and repeat steps. I had forgotten how much more fun QuakeWorld DM is compared to Quake2. Almost as fun as paintball ;) Digital Splat => PBNDigital Splat has changed its name to Paintball News, so if you were wondering about those tourneys... they are the same one :) So make sure you email RaiN and sign up!
