[UPDATED] WooooHoooo! I actually WON! Can you believe it!??!?!! I was totally floored when I saw my name on the winners list for this. I still am. Can’t wait to see that shiny new Nvidia 8800GTS at my door! Many many thanks to everyone who took the time to go vote for me! I’ll definitely have some stuff for sale once I get this card, so I’ll post that soon… Going to upgrade to better suit the 8800 architecture…

[ CONTEST RESULTS ]

They’re running a contest to win one of three Nvidia 8800 cards, asking for people to come up with desktop images for Quakewars… Here was an idea I had, put together from numerous screenshots, etc. that I found, plus the ETQW fan pack. This compiled image doesn’t exist… I made it from different images, and the background image of the scorched road/valley scene.

Here’s the contest site: SITE

Go throw some votes my way if you can… I’d love to snag an 8800…

Which, if these are true, then most everyone that games with us is going to be able to play QuakeWars effectively, and see alot of the details.

Sarge’s new machine will probably crash because the game doesn’t take that much to run…

Many congrats go out to sgtLSD on becoming the father of a 9lb+ baby boy this morning! I unfortunately screened my calls @ 8:10 this morning, thinking some tosser had the wrong number… hahhahahaaaa

But here’s to many late late late nights of baby bottles and filled diapers, instead of bashing and head shots with us. Hopefully we will still see you on the battlefield in the coming months Sarge! Be sure to post some pics of the future regSquad recruit!
