How Stupid Can You Be

Extremelan Closes Shop

Leave a comment

Only 20 days after we started talking about Extreme Lan, they had this post in their forums.

Despite our best efforts to get funding to keep the event alive after we lost our largest financial contributor, all attemps to get funding have failed. ExtremeLAN officially will be cancelled in the next few days, and everyone will be refunded as quickly as possible. Thank you all for your support, and we regret that we have been forced to cancel the event. I have lost entirely too much money at this, so I believe I will be out of the “Big LAN” business for good…

We are sorry to see this event go. In our part of the world, you dont get opportunities like this very often. It looks like that will continue to be the case.

BF1942 movies non stop!

So, you just cant get enough of those BF1942 movies? Well, it looks like there are other people out there like you [and me!]

Going through the Internet TV listing in WinAMP 5, I came across “BF1942 Movies!”. Worth the check out. Right now it is playing NBrigades Explosions video.

I have been watching it for a little bit now and have not seen the same movie twice.

[edit] Looks like at this time it is a 4 movie rotation… [/edit]

If you have made a BF1942 movie, they have an email address to get with them about putting it up. [[email protected]]

Go check it out!

The news story will be posted this Friday, after Noon with a link to the download.

We would like to thank -1313-Evil_Homer for all his help and support with this Friday Nights Fights – Custom Map Night. YOU ROCK!

Ok, I have posted about this in the forums… But watching it right now made me come over here and post an article about it…

RaveTrax.com – Check it!!!

Every Friday night they hold live DJ sessions that you can watch either via their web site, or via WinAMP 5. They also host an irc channel that you can jump into and talk to the DJs as they spin. [irc.ravetrax.com #ravetrax]

Butterfly, A Bomb?

Leave a comment

Ashton Kutchers new film, The Butterfly Effect comes out this weekend. Based on the previews, I want to see this film. Apparently, the critics do not like the film and have lambasted Kutchers performance. Either way, Ill probably watch it when it hits video, but if you are interested in more information about this movie, drop by this website: http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2004/01/23/kutcher_falls_flat_in_the_butterfly_effect/

Red vs Blue vs The /. effect

Leave a comment

Red vs Blues second movie of the second season went public yesterday… If you dont know what Red vs Blue is, we will get to that when you click Read More…

Anyway, with the second season coming, it was posted on Slashdot. Great news is is that RvB will get even more press for being on Slashdot, bad thing is, they have been struck with the not so friendly /. effect [Tons of people seeing it on Slashdot and hitting RvB hard to where the server is having a hard time]

I was just now able to get in, so keep trying and download “Episode 21 Motion To Adjourn”

Now then, what is Red vs Blue??? Read More! Continue reading Red vs Blue vs The /. effect →

World of Warcraft

WoW Part III

Leave a comment

The people over at GameSpy have a third part to their coverage of the highly anticipated World of Warcraft.

In this part they talk about what Blizzard is doing to make this MMORPG different than all the others.

Personal Note:
I have made it a point to stay away from the pay for play MMOs ever since they came out… Well, leave it to Blizzard to change my outlook on this. When WoW comes out, you will see me in this world quite a bit. [I feel so 0w3n3d already and it hasnt even come out yet!]
