And this is really funny

I don't know how many of you read 8-bit theater, but the author of that strip had a really funny Superman-related idea (the first post below the comic). I reposted it in the first comment.

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Jeff turned 21 again on Thursday, and we went to TGIF on Saturday. Would have told y’all earlier but I was busy Sunday. Now that it is Monday, I have time at work to make a quick post. I hope someone else posts something here by tomarrow or Wednesday.

Those new spam messages have the smallest font size I have ever seen….. Text that size could make some nice ASCII art, wouldn’t it? Anyone want to try?

Give me some credit, originally I made the whole post this size :)

Pikmin

One guy at Penny Arcade had a contest for winning a copy of Pikmin 2. People had to make up a new type of Pikmin and draw it or something. You can see all the entries here, but the best one is this collection of rejects.

Silent Hill 4

Anyone who doesn't want the first 3 - 5 minutes of the game spoiled, don't read the comment. It isn't that much of a spoiler, but I figured I should say this anyway.

Edit: By the way, of course I am not playing the game two weeks before it comes out. That would be impossible.

GTA:3-3

I told myself that I would not read up on this new Grand Theaft I told myself that I would not read up on this new Grand Theft Auto before it came out. I liked it how I didn’t even really know about Vice City till I saw it in Best Buy. Anyway, it didn’t last, and I have now read all I could. Of all the new and exciting features being added to the third third GTA, I think the best would have to be the ability to swim. No longer dying on contact with water is a great ability for a character to have. You would think the other ones – who lived on islands I might add – would have picked up this incredible skill.

I was watching some of the Olympic fencing, and the editing is quite funny. They just cut to the touches. So a match lasts about 10 seconds, just touch -snip- touch -snip- touch. Wish I could do that.

Crimson Land

This is a fun game from the people who brought you Starscape. For all of you not Sean, Starscape was that fun game with the space ships shooting aliens and asteroids to get resources and move on the RTS map. Any way, I put the demo in the thingy, or you can get it here.

Edit: As I look again, I don't think Moonpod has anything to do with Crimson Land. Nevermind. Still a cool game though.

Hitchhiker’s Guide

I am reading The Salmon of Doubt now, and it mentioned a text-based Infocom game of Hitchhiker’s Guide. I had never heard of this, so I went and found it (requires WinFrotz). It is interesting, if not completely impossible. Anyone who can beat it without looking to a walkthrough has my respect. Heck, just finishing the thing; I think I just ran out of patience.

Family Guy

Wow, I think this show wins the award for being canceled more than any other. They are bringing it back again... again. Just to show that there were no hard feelings that last few times, they are showing the best episodes -- episodes which got the show canceled I might add -- in mini-marathons. Goes to show what really high DVD sales can do.

Doom 3 review.

I think this review is pretty funny. Don't read it if you don't want some minor spoilers.

I did enjoy the game, but I must admit that it is only as good as you let it be. If you want to be scared by it, it will scare you. But you could also just as easily walk through the game without jumping once.

I put the full text in the first comment. I must say, this is The Biggest Comment Ever-ver-ver-ver.

Riddles

I found this really interesting riddle place. Some of them are interesting, some of them are, well, bad.

Case in point, I was going to put one of the riddles here, but I couldn't find one. Maybe you can?

And yes, there is a riddle 450.

Maybe I will add one of my favorite riddles...

"In cubic feet, how much dirt is in a hole 3 feet long, 3 feet deep, and 3 feet wide?"

And Martin, the English major, better get this one right: "Which is correct to say, 'The yolk of the egg are white' or,'The yolk of the egg is white'?"

DVI

Did you know that if you use a digital monitor with the DVI output from a video card, you get a major performance increase? It seems to be about 20% faster all around, not to mention crisper. I guess it took quite a few gpu cycles to convert the digital signal into an analog one.

RAID

Well, I guess none of us knew which one was which really. I thought that my hard drives would be striped, but then I saw that they were RAID 0. But then I look at the software config for my RAID support, and it says striped 16k. So then I look it up.

Turns out RAID 0 means no redundancy. So appended or striped in any combination would be RAID 0.

RAID 1 is mirroring, RAID 2 isn't used.

RAID 3 is the one with 4 drives, 3 striped and one parity.

RAID 4 is RAID 3, only with blocks instead of bytes.

RAID 5 is like RAID 4, only there is no dedicated parity drive, it is distributed.

RAID 6 is RIAD 5, only double parity.

RAID 7 is confusing.

Then you can nest these into more complex systems. But anyway, back to my point... was there a point? Anyway. Martin, they didn't mess up your brothers drive, RAID 0 just has no protection, but all the speed benefits.

Guild Wars

This is a MMORPG that will, supposedly, be free. No initial purchase, no monthly fee. It is made by the people who left blizzard after making Diablo 1 & 2. Did I mention it will be free? Anyway, they are having a first demo at E3, and they are allowing anyone who downloads the 62k client to join in. Will it work? I don't know, but it's free.

I don't even see how they could have so many people on a once, without the "official beta test" most of these online games get. It is only an alpha, so that might give them an excuse. Or maybe it will be all small, instanced locations with few people in each. Hmmm....

Three cool things I found.

The first is a side scrolling shooter called Tumiki Fighters. It is like any other space shooter, only your ship is a kind of Tetris piece and, when you knock pieces off your enemies, you can add them to your own. It is pretty trippy.

The next is called kkrieger (not a type-o, I swear). It is a first person shooter in 96k. Now, the slashdot people knocked it for using DX9, which is 20 megs, but I figure if I don't have to download it, it doesn't count.

And one of the best puzzle games I have played in a while is Deadly Rooms of Death. It is a really well thought out game, and very... um... dastardly.

These things can be gotten from the usual place.

Superman

For those of you who watch the Daily Show, this won't be news, not that anything there ever is, but... Anyway, American Express has done some commercials with Jerry Seinfeld and Superman. You all know that Seinfeld has always liked Superman, and now he gets to do a "full-length commercial" with The Man of Steel (got tired of typing Supe... almost got me there). It is only 5 minutes long, and pretty funny. Oh, and just ignore the surprisingly few plugs for an American Express card.

More stuff about Japan

I don't know how many of you read Penny Arcade regularly, but they posted a funny link today that I think you will all get a kick out of. An English teacher in Japan gave his students blank copies of Penny Arcade cartoons and had the students fill them out. Some are quite... um... strange.

My GBA cartridge

My gameboy cartridge broke. The gameboy itself fell to the floor, and I noticed a “rattling” sound coming from the card. I opened it up and found a really, really small…. thing. Now, not being Sean, I had no idea what the heck this thing was. But I was able to put those long nights Sean spent on his senior project to good use, thanks Sean. When I was bored from playing games or, god forbid, doing work, I would watch what Sean was doing, because it was interesting, at least to someone who didn’t have to do it. Now however, I have a broken game cartridge, and these two disparate worlds come crashing together.

So I come to the conclusion that a new one of these things will cost over $100, whereas a soldering iron and some solder will only cost about $10. What the heck, I will try it. I notice a little “c” next to the broken part of the circuit board, so I guess (again, thanks Sean) that it is a capacitor, considering all the little things that look sorta like the broken one have either a “c” or an “r” next to them. I picked up just enough to remember that capacitors have a + and a – side, so I try see what direction this thing should go, but I can’t tell, so again, I guess.

My first attempt at soldering this thing in there works great, but then putting the top of the case back on I notice that it won’t fit as well as before because of my not-so-neat job. The problem here is that I noticed because there was a lot of resistance to my pushing, and then I heard a “crunch.” That was the capacitor, breaking in half. “Whatever,” I say, “it probably wasn’t _really_ needed anyway.” So I just solder the two pieces as best I can (which isn’t all that “best”) and file down the edge of the case using all my previous “mad GBA modding skillz.” Next I slap it in the reader, and it works!

I was ecstatic. I actually fixed something… with solder. I have no idea how that capacitor works, but it just looks like a little piece of clay, so I guess the actually capacitor stuff is inside, or something. If anyone knows, speak up. Just thought you guys would like to hear this.

I am at work and I do not have admin access. I found a nice preview of Splinter Cell 2 from penny-arcade, but it is in quicktime format. As you know, one can't view that without the install. Even other programs, like irfan viewer, will only play them if it is installed. Do any of you know of a way for me to see this without having to install anything or... you know.... wait till I go home, because this is really "important" for me to see.....

Anyway, I was thinking of maybe another wonderful MoreCooler plugin which allows the viewing of drag and drop quicktime files. Sound like a fun diversion for any of you out there?

OK, this will be "fun"

Everybody, just comment with the first thing that comes to mind. Post early, post often. Let's see what crazy things happen. That, and it should be entertaining to read....

Very Bad Thing

I don’t know how many of you read GameSpot, but they can be interesting at times, if not just a little biased.... But anyway, I have always found the bad reviews to be more fun than the good ones for two reasons. (1) they are entertaining and (2) they don’t make me buy anything.

So today I look at it and there is a review for a game called "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing" which has a whopping score of 1, the lowest possible. I suggest you read it, it is really funny. It turns out that the "racing" is supposed to be you in a big rig with cargo trying to outrun the cops. But the trucks are only cabs, so they don’t have cargo. There also aren’t any cops, or anything around. Well, there is the other truck, the one you are supposed to race against. But it doesn’t move, or do anything really, so it doesn’t exactly count. None of the terrain actually acts like terrain, you go right over hills as if they were flat. Trees, bushes, buildings and bridges are intangible, not that it matters because you can go down and through whatever the bridge was going over. There are no level boundaries so you can go off to limbo freely.

But the best part is when I went to go look at the company who made it. First, the publisher is a company called GameMill, which doesn’t have a website, press release or anything actually to have Google tell it. The developer is called Stellar Stone, and they are much more interesting. They offer "from scratch development of video games" and other such services for a fraction of the cost because they do everything in Russia. Only half of their website has content, and most of it is repetitive. But the kicker is the support page, where they have a patch for Big Rigs. It is called "Big rigs: Over the road racing Patch 1.0". Think about that for a second. When have you ever seen an "upgrade" for a game that was marked 1.0? (and Martin, don’t mention ADOM, ok?) Makes you wonder what the retail version is.

There is also a pretty funny reader review at GameSpot, I also suggest reading it. And as you can probably tell, I do not have any work yet, so I can write a really long post about almost nothing. This is fun....

Quality

There have been so many posts "about something" that I felt we needed one that didn't have anything to do with anything. Unfortunately, this post is about just that, so I guess I failed. Any way, feel free to respond however you want to this post, it should be fun. Just don't use that "C" word, I have been informed that those security people don't have much of a sense of humor.... So Bryce, could you edit those posts to "bleep" them out so I don't feel bad visiting this site? Sean will agree :)

I hope all of you have a great holiday... er... festivities. I would hate to offend anyone.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Well, let me just start off saying this game is awesome. I had a real ball with it -- for one evening. Very fun, very short. “Good pacing” is the friendly way to say it, which basically means “thanks for not boring me.”

But here’s the rub. The X-Box version of this game comes with a whole host of extras: Prince of Persia 1, 2 & 3D, making of movies, interviews and some remade level of PoP1 in the new engine. So that’s what they put on the console, guess what they put as extras on the PC? Nothing, zip, nadda. I read someone’s justification for this, it was that the PC version costs $10 cheaper than the X-Box one, but that means you are ‘buying” the original PoP’s, which is wrong.

And one more thing: Beyond Good and Evil is what Zelda: Windwaker was supposed to be. It has the boat, the “sword” and the camera. Only this boat has rocket boosters. There, I said it, flame away.

Liquid War

This is an awesome little game that looks very simple at first, yet actually involves a lot of strategy. You and your "liquid" army have to fight off the opponents by surrounding them. It's small, fun, multiplayer and hard for me to describe. So just try it out, OK?

Oh, and remember those XiaoXiao stick figure movies? Well, the next one is not quite as passive....

Worms 3D demo is out! (sorta) (for real)(or not)

You can grab the torrent in our files section.

(update)
Just an unofficial leaked demo though, still, I am happy.

(reupdate)
If this works on your PC, tell me. As far as I can tell, it is missing a file which should be on the worms3D website, but now I can't get there.

(re-reupdate)
Now the site is fully down, whatever. I am getting tired of working on this.

(re-re-reupdate)
Ok, for real now, you can get the demo at there website

(re-re-re-reupdate)
"please note These demos are not compatible with pre-Athlon® XP processors." Whatever, now I don't even want to play it anymore.

Got the deposit back

Well, Walt sent me a letter with a check, made out to Christopher Crame. Thats the same guy who went to my high school, but never went to class. Paid my tuition though....

Anyway, we only got back $1,400 as he had to re-clean the house. He explains.

To read the full letter, see the first comment.

Yey Another Diversion

You guys remember Stair Dismount? Well, here's the upgrade! Well, not "here" exactly, but more like "over there, under the file thingy."

My high score is 68,935.

Wow, it is also fun to throw the guy over the wall, not a high score, but entertaining.

More Cooler than what?

Well, I forgot about the whole "MoreCooler" thing and used the old icq thing. And, of course, as always happens with things on the internet, I am the last to hear about it. I send something interesting and appealing to my friends and what do I hear? "Oh, your other friend showed me that months ago, it was cool." Does everyone send things to each other but me? And, just to show how archaic I am, you can go to this link, which you have already seen, and gape open mouthed again.

something cool you already saw .

Happy Birthday

Well, happy birthday Matt. We didn't give you a surprise party or a car, but I hope it is still special. Though I did get you something, if you look up tonight, I had some fireworks arranged just for you. Now the whole "where you will be" was a little bit of a problem, but I think I got that covered.

Graduation!

Well, we all walked. And now no one is posting. Is this a bad sign?

Hookie

What is a hookie you ask? Well, I don't know. You guys tell me. Best one wins... something, lets see... I found a used post-it note, and two pennies. That's all I got, so get started!

More New Features ... er

I think that one of the things that would really make this site great would be a ......

(wait for it)......

Spell Cheker! I mean spell cheacker, spell checre, well, you know what I mean.

And I guess a grammar checker would be nice too, but then again any one coming to a site called "more cooler" shouldn't expect too much in that regard.

Tell me about it

All I know is that the only thing people enjoy more than fawning over their favorite celebrities is berating them publicly. Why? I think so because it is safe; for many of the reasons that you mentioned. Who is easier to disagree with: a scholar who actualy knows things, or Eminem? The public puts these people on a pedistal for being different and special, but then expects them to act and think like they do.

Nine minutes!?

Come on guys, usualy you're quicker than that....

And I think some introductions are in order: Jeff, the Internet. The Internet, Jeff. Now that everyone knows each other, we can get on with our obscure refrences.

Question

I thought that we were only supposed to mock people when they didn't use this site. So I guess it is really "use it and get mocked or don't use it and still get mocked."

Either way, I bet I get mocked.

Ok, we need rules...

Are we just going to sit here and allow things like that? We really should follow some basic rules of decency.

And I would just like to say, "Martin, one minute."

We need an icon

Next someone needs to make an icon so that the thing that MoreCooler can be made more cooler by will be... the... icon... thing...

Posted by chris on 6/1/03 at 8:18AM • link • comment (0)

Wow, it's up!

MoreCooler.com finaly got much more cooler. And now we can post. All we need are some really cooler ascii art; but I think that I will let Bryce do that, since he has so much practice.

Time Travel

Through the careful art of time travel, I now have "first post" status. I think I should get a T-Shirt.

Then I can say, "I went back in time and all I got was this stupid T-Shirt."

Yeah, that would be more cooler.
