Hmm. Just a little note really, this post.
News has quietened a little, in the aftermath of recent parties I guess. On the subject of which, I've not spotted any releases from Phat1 other than a couple C64 demos. If you fancy checking those out, slip neatly over to c64.sk.
I just installed Max Payne on my PC, and suffice to say it runs unbearably slow. Tho' it actually performs better than I was expecting, as my PC is currently running at 2/3's of the required rate. So, it's just as well I've ordered a replacement for "the beast". Aah, she's becoming a tired old gal, at only 300MHz. So she'll be taking a back-burner, and will be used just for 'net connection.
The replacement is a neat machine. Fast processor, decent gfx-card, loads of memory, and a frankly obscenely large monitor ("hey girls, look at my 22 inches"). This is all assuming anyone actually bothers to take the parts off the shelf and deliver it to me. Something to do with out-of-stock memory. See, you never get this problem with a Speccy.
So why am I telling you all this? Well I'll be putting "Beast2" together myself, so despite taking a week off to play, I prolly won't be online too much. Either I'll be enjoying a machine that doesn't die when I try to run anything by Microsoft, or I'll be stomping around the house swearing. I kinda hope it's not the latter <g>
But I'll try to update with the important stuff anyway.

Oh, was sent this link to the, rather nice, homepage of 7 Gods. I've updated my link to it, so there.
