Well I have been using the PS controllers for so long, Id say they are the best. But Id have to agree with the 'ole Japanese Saturn controller and the SNES controller being superior... for their time, the D pads were awesome. I actually have issues with the 360's D pad though. I couldn't play properly on SF on the 360 arcades. But otherwise, it's a great controller. I hated the Dreamcast controller. And the old "DUKE" the first gen XBOX controllers.... what the hell were they thinking!!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn... Id crap my pants.

I knew you would be the first to say hi! Hey man good to be back. I can't submit my pics yet, as they are on my computer. I want to show everyone the new place, and the new roommate. Hell, she has a peach cornier, aptly names "peachy" Other than him shitting everywhere, he is great.

You bastards.... This UT thing barely got off the ground! Game Cop was supposed to join it too... Well, when I get my internet connected, I'm going to attempt to rally everyone together again.

Months have passed, time stood still, and flew by at the same time. It seems like forever since I last posted here, and yet it seems like no time has passed at all. Ahh where to start... OK. I work for Myspace now, Or rather a company contracted by myspace. I view images from 1 in the morning to 9. I just got back home, and our new roommate got a wireless signal from the neighbors apartment. (suckers) So here I am. The new apartment is great, a 2/2 @ 1100 square feet, washer/drier hookup, for 790 a month... and it's NOT ghetto. More or less. EM still works at the retirement home, as a cook. So all is well there. Money is still tight, but were about to catch up on everything real soon. I have no idea what has happened here, who left, who the newbees are. Speaking of which... I see no-one sent me any messages, good to see I was missed... Anyway, I never finished my Unreal Tournament GOTY map. I got burned out. A few odds and ends and it will be complete. Having an issue with HOM on a wall in a big room, and cant reverse the error. Other than that, it's a good map, that I'm proud of. But knowing me, I wont release it until it is the best it can be. So what has happened? How has everyone been? Hope it is still active here! If not I'll try to liven it up a bit. This is my roommates laptop, so I don't know how frequently I will be able to use it. Soon I'll get the cable running, and I'll be on all the time. So anyway... say hello!!!

Pretty sweet. I can definitely use those for reference in my photoshoping and texture creating endeavors. Thanks for the resource.

Well I'm looking for Textures. Right now I'm searching through Google for Tree bark textures, but the ones that are free, are not all that big. I guess I can use them, but I don't want any issues when I tile them on said tree. I found a few leaf textures, and masks, but I also downloaded a few pics of leafs as well. I guess I can take the pics of trees, and make my own textures, but that will take alot of time to tweak them so they tile. And on top of that, my trees aren't going to be too simple, so I gotta figure out how I'm going to align various textures to begin with. Also, I wanted to get 360 degree panoramic shots of amazing landscapes, but the ones I found, only go so high. Ill be segmenting the panoramic pic, into 4, so I can make a fake backdrop, (skybox) but for the ceiling, I'm going to have to photoshop the hell out of it. And that will pose a problem, as I will work from blank, and try to fill in the sky, with existing colors of course. But I gotta make it all sync up, but the main problem, is making it look perfect. Well I have a few ideas, Ill try masking, and make a totally new sky that will go past the masked walls, so that you can see this secondary sky through the invisible area. So basically, I have been searching for great textures, and awesome photos... to create textures. I plan on going all out regarding UT map making. But then another possible problem comes up, the original textures for UT have high res counterparts, so if I create these new textures, will they be high res enough... or will my textures look like crap, while the other textures in the map look great... Hope it all goes well. So anyway, If anyone knows where I can find great textures, let me know. But I don't know how long my internet will stay on, as it should have been cut on Saturday. Good thing it isn't on my name... hahaha So anyway, I hope I can get some awesome textures, before it's too late.

Yea, I know how tedious the job is. But can you imagine.... I put in average... 40 hours a week in games, and it used to be 50+. If I play games all day for a job, I'll be topping 80+ hours a week in game time. LOL Yea EM and I both have a nack for finding bugs. I just end up doing things so many times, I find a bug or glitch every so often in released games, let alone demos. Hell, you should have seen EM on Tony Hawk project * on the PS2 ( horrible version BTW ) She got stuck in slow motion... and one time on the sk8 demo, she sent the board into orbit!!! But yea, it's still something Id like to do. And with the hours, who knows when I will be active on the forum!!! I should actually be asleep right now... gotta wake up in just over 3 hours!!!! Ok everyone. Be well!

Oh-yea.... And I got February rent free.... otherwise... id never be able to get the place... so.... PHEW

Well the tides have turned!!! I am going to be moving into the new place on the 31st. Because of my credit, they want a extra months rent as part of the deposit. And with my tax return, I have just enough to move in and get the power turned on, all in all, 1300 dollars... every last cent. HA! Well my current roommate is having the cable/internet turned off later today... (26th) and we don't have the money to get cable/internet turned on at the new apartment. So EM and I will be out for a while. Perhaps for just a few weeks, but it will be forever... to us. Although we may not be uber active lately... (lots of things going on lately) we always check up on the site on a daily basis. So I anticipate a quick return. Also on a great note, I have alot of job opportunities!!!! #1 EA is hiring Game Testers. The job is seasonal, but who the hell cares.... There is no way they wont hire me. But since it is seasonal, I gotta think more realistically. There is a major hardware store in walking distance and they just opened, and since I used to work at one of the competing stores for 2+ years, I'm also a great candidate for hire. On top of that, my location is more centralized, and there are many many more great jobs in my reach, but I am going to see what is up with Tiburon, which is part of EA. I have a guy on the inside, that wants me to apply. He is the lead on the Tiger Woods game being developed currently. So I have a friend in the business!!!! I wonder... if I'm good enough, if my position will be more permanent... but whatever... it's a foot in the door. Also on this note, there will be opportunities for EM as well! So hopefully we can find a replacement quickly for that disaster she calls a job. Well since I'll be offline, I'll have less distractions on my Unreal Tournament Map making... So perhaps I'll finish with the preliminaries and get to testing... hammer out the details and such... I look forward to playing with you guys again.... And I look forward to new comers joining too.... Game Cop!!! and you too Shibathedog. And everyone else who ever showed interest in playing with us on Cinders server. BTW, if you are interested in joining up, all the info is in the Official 1Emulation UT Server thread located in the online gaming forum. You may even get someones attention if you join the IRC and try to recruit some competition. All I know is you better practice now, Im going to light the fire, and make my presence known when I get back... so lookout. Well thats basically it. Got alot of things to do in the next week. I will be settling in the first few days of February, and be sure, that I am going to throw a party. So I tip my glass to you guys now, in advance. Goodbye my dot-comrades, I will be back and make my presence known!!!!!

Awesome! Newcomer of the year... BTW.... EM blows Fatal out of the water attractive wise.... heh

EM seems to always submit... "not so good" pictures of herself. Here we go And here is another one of me showing off the Super Hero chin

I see Pokemon.... Old skool pokemon even.

What... what the hell??? I cannot accurately describe this sensation I'm feeling. It's like interested, mixed with pity and shame. Does that make sense? Oh... and Street Fighter will never die. And if it does, it will still walk the earth, as undead. Perhaps that is what this game represents........

SH|T!!!! EM said Stallone said this movie is quite violent, more so than regular. No joke.... after seeing that... I gotta go see it. How old is he now? 60+ It does look entertaining.

That is strange... But up in North Carolina, I found Pig brain, and whatever animals testicles for sale on the shelf. Apparently, Brain is cooked with your eggs for breakfast. Ick...... Who the hell... eats this sh!t!!!! Some poor ass MF who eats everything from an animal had to come up with this. I mean .... testicles??!!?!?

Thats what I tell her, she used to when she did construction work on pools. But she says she still tastes it. I do taste it in water, "it" as in everything.... I bet I can tell you what brand of purified water you are handing me in a blind taste test. But I just thought that was normal...She on the other hand can't stand it. The problem is... water has no taste... so it takes on whatever is in it... Even smell ionized air??? it has a strange dead smell... or something... this weird smell. All they do is ionize the air, to remove crap, but it leaves this horrible odor... I believe, that if you did a process with water, it would have the same effect. I can taste crap in water.... especially when I don't drink it often... which is bad. But when I get on a water kick... I don't really notice it. Right now, thinking about it, my mouth is watering, with a slight metallic taste... just like with tap water. Funny thing is I know just what she is talking about with the sweet taste, in shower water. Water... which is the basis of life, is what your body needs. When you drink anything else, your body has to separate it to use the water, and then has to flush the remainder out.... WITH water. It takes 6 equal cups of water, to effectively flush out 1 cup of soda. So think about that if your a soda nut. I'm going to get back to drinking water alot, and I'll make her drink it too. Then well see what is up after a few weeks of that.

Awesome.... But I'm sure it'll be just like all the other Armored Core "upgrade" sequels... but I don't care... although I don't have all 10 games... I have 4 games. Including Nine Breaker, which really is just an arena and extensive training game.. it will really tighten up your game.... I liked AC4, although I didn't play much at all of it... I don't have a 360 or PS3, but I liked how they redid the boost system... as you don't run out of juice like you used to... but of course, it changes the gameplay, from more sim... to super ultra fast paced mech combat... which is fine by me, something had to change!!! heh. Yea the level of customization is amazing in AC games, that is one of the things that make it stand out to me. They have like over 700 parts at current count... I remember a time, when I had like 6 save files, with various mech loadouts, missile whores/ light mechs/ heavy tanks.... Well I wish I had a 360, Black Night, Id love to test our abilities... although, I'm not like I used to be.

Gwaka???

I have been using UT Editor for a few days now.... And I have noticed a burn in from the browser... It does not happen from the regular web browser, as I have checked... but if the Firefox.. or any other browser... is always the same at key points... hell even the task bar... why didn't it leave a burn in. The only thing that is different, it the shade of color. Which is a gray. crap... Is it permanent? I can only see it with colors near the gray side.... including the color of the 1Emu page... when you hit Reload current page... crap... My desktop didn't leave a burn in.... Only this damn UTED..... And here I thought I loved the thing! Well I'm using an Olevia as my monitor, its a cheap LSD TV... And like I said, nothing else left a burn in... I wonder if I can change the color of the UTED browser.... Is it normal for the screen to feel hot? There is an option to change the color temp... Native and 6500K... I wonder if that would help... I'm not gonna touch that... unless when I read up on this problem, and it turns out that its something that will help..... Well I just turned the brightness down, but who knows it that will help with further usage. Damn it!!!!!

Ok a while back, EM told me about hitting the Prt Scrn "Print Screen" button and pasting it in photoshop or MSpaint even. Well this makes things so much cooler, as I can, for instance, take a screen shot of maps I am making in UTED, and show someone what I am working on. Although... Print Screen didn't work for Diablo ][ for some reason.... Anyway... I never knew this and I think it is useful. And I am sure there is plenty of other cool things that I or someone else may not know. So please share with us, something cool or useful. Ill submit one... F11 cleans up the window (Firefox) not sure if it does in in other browsers... But I found this quite useful, as it open the screen up so very much. So yea.... what do you know about?

Yea do what you can to cancel it..... What is your other option? Not be able to play for it and have it canceled... Then have your credit worse than you started? Don't fall for that crap again! HEH.... Only get what you can afford. Otherwise.............. your flocked.

I don't even know what I would do... but it would be worse than what the Stepdad did... Id invent new torture techniques. Id bring a new definition to PAIN @ TERROR. I would instill a new since of fear, and suffering. The boy would never be able to function in society again. That is of course... if he survives. It would be so unimaginable... I would be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity... Id sure as hell take the law into my own hands. This is where the law has NO jurisdiction... when it concerns exactly what happened. Stepson molests young daughter.... hell no the law cant do what is right.... were talking about taking the innocents from a child... from a small girl. INNOCENT GIRL... I think the boy was fortunate... if I was the father... don't even ask me, the things I wold do are horrible... and those are just the things I can think of immediately. Lets just say death... would be too good, Id want him to live with the terror. Permanently crippled... physically and mentally.

Oh man... don't procrastinate!!! Get on it. Please.... I'm still trying to get DonIllmatrix on it, and I never get to see exp44, everyone else seems..... un-interested. Although... I did speak to Game Cop, I expect to see him before too long. Yea that was a blast. I thought I killed you, but then I didn't see a flag laying around. Then I was killed, and it was over. It would be better though... IF WE CAN GET MORE PEOPLE!!!! Works fine for me. Just make sure you have all the map packs, that your rip is patched to v436, and if you don't have the setup files get the non UMOD Bonus Pack 4 and put the files in their places. Then you should be good to go. Well alright... those who have rips... it works, so no excuses!!!! Am I one of the only few that actually has the game??? LOL
