We're back baby! In glorious ascii-o-vision!
Yesterday was a slow day, slow enough to inspire me to do something useless... something we'd done before yet for some reason we stopped doing. Anyway, after some convincing Mare fired up the sexeh old SGI Indy (Grub) in the corner and I got to work with ttyvideo and the indycam. The results?
We thought it was about time we embraced web 2.0... int13h stylee!
Ok, so I dont have the greatest track record for post's... (one a year I think) however; as im waiting for a new version of scummVM to compile I really have no excuse...
So here is my top 5 classic games for scummVM that you need to play.
Keeping up appearance best we know how, our next feature film is the Top 5 Sites To Consult When You Really Need To Get Some Work Done. Please, work responsibly.
Here's a reworking on a blast from the past! Top 5 Things On My Desk Redux It's kinda like the original but different, I do however promise that there is no 45 minute French Colonialist scene glued halfway through.
Kicking off this week's 'offical int13h top 5 week' week is Top 5 Search Keyphrases for int13h.com. Be excited, be intrigued and actually be a little scared...
Vidal Baboon are at it again, this time a Cover of Saturday Night by The Misfits, quickly go get in there before the site gets so overwhelmed by traffic that it goes off-line or something else equally as ridiculous sounding.
I've been watching "Penn & Teller Bullshit" recently, and after a conversation with someone regarding the morality of certain sexual activities, I figured I might as well get my brain on, and look at the deeper issue.
What is freedom, to you?
(yes, it mentions lots of sexual activities)
You KNEW this post was coming today, go on admit it.
Quake Live has gone into Open Beta mode, which basically means that it's done but they are too scared to say it's 'final' incase someone finds a glaringly obvious bug in it.
So get on there, help 'test' the /quit command after you get your ass handed to you by some 12 year old railing the fuck out of you and calling you gay!
I can now sleep tonight safe in knowledge that I have done my duties.
It's a hard world in which we live, made even more so recently due to this global economic crisis. However you can of course rely on int13h in these toughest of times to offer you a glimmer of hope, a little bit of sunshine in an otherwise apocalyptic sky.
Remember when you were a kid and monster munch seemed ninja massive? When the aroma of radioactive pickled onion wafted across every playground? When you could still go to an arcade and play a sit down Outrun cab for 20p? Well now you can relive those glory days again... well all except the Outrun part.
Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a picture of said godlike snacks as I couldn't stop eating them for long enough to press the 'click' button. So erm anyway... woohoo! World saved, you may go back about your business.
In our latest attempt at distracting ourselves from wishing that Elite IV is really coming out this year, we've found this little nugget of entertainment. Evochron Legends - A flyie roundy spacey shootery trading stealing planet landing docking pirating blowing shitter upperer that we can all play together while we cry over our David Braben posters.
It's got quite an impressive feature list including multi-player and planet landing. And it's only £18, so you can't use that whole crappy economy is in down the shitter excuse again. Win!
Whoa, we have a 'network' of sites? Damn.
Well its far too early for me to write anything humorous so I'll just spill the beans. New Vidal Baboon song/video release, that you need to go and checkout. Do you fear the Atomic Vampire Moth? I think you do!
Tribes 2, quite possibly the 2nd greatest game ever created in whole of the universe ever... It lived, it died, people left and servers were shut down. But now new ones are back! That's right bitches, ski yourself over to Tribes Next and grab yourself a copy.
I'll be waiting in the middle of Katabatic, with a Jericho by my side and funny green smoke approaching your base.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Match begins now! Starwolf Scores!

Ah, doom... fondly we remember you (if you don't, fuck off >_>).
And now ported to Flash! Finally, really... I always thought dosbox was too perfect an emulator. So go play it here
Zombies, lots of zombies...
First up, Left 4 Dead. A game by Valve where you and a few friends get some guns and go out on the town for some hot zombie action, be prepared to get overwhelmed by hoards and hoards of zombies running in your direction. Comes out tomorrow!
Next up, unless you have been living under a very large rock that didn't have a computer with a net connection that happened to be logged into #int13h over the last few weeks. The Mighty Vidal Baboon have released a couple of super mega awesome comedy horror punk inspired songs for your listening pleasure.
Titled The Two Hits From Hell, two songs with two spiffing videos! so get clicking so we can feel like we've actually got some kind of following =D
Ever wanted to raise controversial topics to see if people would stop thinking when responding to you? Now you can! Bringing you the powerful topics of abortion and the death penalty, a party is assured!
On a related note to the previous post, this is in fact a rather nice site if you want an ordered collection of formal (logic) and informal fallacies. Chapeau, except they should redo the site design and launch it into the face of every person on the internet. Hopefully some will die of shock when they read it and realise that's all they do, all the time.
He writes an article on why you tick him off. Like this one, for instance.
Serious, does it hurt to use 'teh brian' every now and then?
When you're a brain craving zombie, dating can be a difficult prospect. You want someone to share a freshly cracked open skull with, but you just can't quite find one who is decomposed just the right amount and with just the right colour vaccant eyes. Now you can find your perfect partner in living death with ZombieHarmony.
This presents an ideal opportunity to post -this- again (vidalbaboon.com). :D
The mighty BreadBin has spoken! He has descended from upon high and in a short (as in microscopic) interview with Develop magazine has confirmed the existence of Elite 4. In particular that some magical codey bits of it may be closed to finished.
Ok, so this is good. Although there's no mention of what any of this technology actually is, it's ok because it's ALMOST FINISHED!!
Whoa, Deja vu. However this is the most concrete statement we've seen on Elite 4 since 2001 so if it's alright with you I'm gonna go ahead and spend the next year or so in a state of perpetual excitement.
Hopefully I wont be needing this ever again
Christening our new /dev section today is our first of an ultimately poor collection of articles about Coding and such. So if you fancy trying to destroy your FreeBSD box today, head on over and read about...
Woo! Now available for your personal consumption, the 'spiritual' successor to the Tribes series, Fallen Empire: Legions! Grab the open beta and give it a whirl.
