Simple notions from a developer
Well my friends, I have rejoined the ranks of the employed once again! A little spot called Insurance.com. I have to say I'm incredibly excited to start! The guys I interviewed with were awesome and I have a long time friend (26 years (whoa, I feel old lol 🙂 )) has been working there for […]
It was with much reluctance that I downloaded the Unreal Tournament 3 demo after being urged by a friend. I have played UT in the past and own 2004. It was fun but just a little too knock-off-y of the Quake franchise, nothing special, yet another first person shooter. Although I have to give UT […]
So, I returned to TF2 after working my way through Orange Box (ok, well I had already finished HL2…) Anyway, I think I have made a 180 on this one. I really have to say it's über fun!! Which has increasingly been a problem in modern games. What do I mean? Well I'll tell ya! […]
Well folks, as a friend recently pointed out, I need to post something all ready. So here's the skinny, as some of you may or may not know, I have most recently been employed by a large auto-insurance company in North East Ohio. Well due to a relatively flat insurance market over the past few […]
There are only 2 words that apply to the Crysis Single-Player Demo: F$#k!ng Amazing! Where to be begin, the graphics I guess. Stunning, just stunning! The lighting, the foliage. I honestly felt like I was there. Those guys programmed one helluva beautiful rendering engine. You better believe you need one heck of a rig to […]

Oh the shame! My most humble apologies to Evolution and the Quake-Revolution.com crew. I inadvertantly forgot the hyphen in the URL in the blogroll link list on the right-hand section. This has been fixed, if any of tried to stop by, please try again 😉 [http://www.quake-revolution.com]
Finally got around to playing Episode 2, and boy I'm glad I did! A return of one of my favorite mysterious characters of the game. I initially was a bit apprehensive of the episodic content delivery, but I think it will really allow Valve to stretch out the life-span of the HalfLife2 franchise, buying a […]
It is with a heavy heart that I report what seems to be the final version of the Revolution Quake3 mod. http://forums.dbzclan.com/viewtopic.php?t=575 If you have no idea what I'm talking about, hop on over to: http://www.quake-revolution.com Mad props to Evolution and Lucron! Writing and maintaining a new mod for such an OLD game really is […]
Well, as promised, I added the DNS entry for the dev server. The IP address and ports are still the (72.5.249.52:27960) but you can now get at it at the easier to remember: q3.reactanceunlagged.com:27960
