| What A Sweet Fucking LCD | May 22 2008 10:04pm |
| For those of you who don't know, I run dual monitors because it is fucking awesome. It also helps me get things done more easily when I am in the mood to work, but it is also super great for web surfing + chatting and doing other shit. So anyway, I had these 2 ancient CRT monitors, one was a 14" pile and the other is a 17" huge beast. The 14" one finally died and it wasn't a surprise, the text has been super fuzzy on it for months now and I was just counting the days until it went out. And it finally did. Holy shit why didn't I buy an LCD monitor sooner. I found a 22" widescreen on sale for pretty cheap and it is blowing my fucking mind. I can't wait until next pay period to buy a matching one. Time to throw a monitor off of the fire escape as they say. Back in the real world, I finally decided to package the AWOL Map Pack and make it available for download. After several months and about a page and a half of people begging for it on the 3D Realms forums, it's out in all of it's craptacular glory. There are 91 maps in total and each and every single one of them is unfinished and broken in more ways than I can count. But hey, you guys wanted it, so enjoy. It looks like the EDuke32 guys took my idea to heart and added in true Array support to the CON engine, thank fucking christ. As much as I love doing backflips to keep in spirit of Duke editing, the hackery that we managed to fake arrays with really sucked and I'm glad there is real support. I may or may not want to rewrite the A* Pathfinding algorithm I wrote for EDuke32 and finish up the DukeRTS tech demo. No promises though, but I would like to finish the A* to some degree. Oh yeah, F7Lans is having our annual Atlanta LAN Party, go there now if you are within a 200 mile radius of Atlanta! | |
