Grrr... can't sleep and can't be arsed to do anything. Might have to throw a sicky tomorrow which has frankly been a long time coming.

SomeGuy's Minor Random Non-Am00sing Sleepy Catchily-Titled Game-Related Gripes

• Since the death of www.gamepower.com (which I used to visit in my naive, young pre-BW days) I can't find a decent site listing top 50 downloaded demos (50 most recent demos would be better) and I rue every second spent on...
• GameSpy and its related applications. Maybe because it looks too slick in a heavy-handed ugly kind of way. (Empire Earth bagged their PC Game of the Year award, btw. Must give that demo another go. OpFlash got Best Action)
• The fact that Day of Defeat beta 2.0 still hasn't been released despite so obviously being ready. Bastids.
• Operation Flashpoint's appalling multiplayer side. Despite being a good (if laggy) online game, it is impossible to find and join a server without waiting twenty minutes or more for the current game to end. You may wish to see my many campaigning threads dotted around BW. You may, of course, wish not to. Such is your right
• The niggling feeling that Jolt actually has a more 'involved' larger team than BW which get involved in many more aspects of hosting, modding, maps, add-ons and general support and encouragement to the online world than BW. That makes me sad.
• No GTA3 for the PC, though its due out in April, though like, we've all heard that before. Whatever.
• My day-to-day PC experience is not in stylish 3D whereby windows morph and swirly into beatiful portals of information, directed and choreographed by me at the sound of my voice. Maybe one day. Maybe my grandchildren will be showing stuff like this off one day. One day...

If you're interested, I'm downloading the demo of IL-2 Sturmovik. Supposed to be a rather special flight sim.

This is all. Goodnight everyone.

Further to my 3D wishes, I have found a kind-of 3D browser thing. The best one is the NVIDIA sponsored one and is available here. It's worth a download, even if only for the short-term novelty factor.

Here's what mine looks like with the BW forum, news page, The Register and a couple of others. I make no apologies for the size of the pic.

You click on each windows and it rotates round and zooms in to fill the display. Not as impressive as it sounds, actually. Still, it killed a few minutes.

Im always tired these days. I should really goto bed about 8pm one night and get the sleep I need. But the bastid net keeps me awake till 12 then I get up at 7. 7hrs sleep is ok but not when thats the longest sleep I have had for the last year. Damn these cable modems.

I was made redundant last month - and it really screwed my body clock.

Getting up at 6:30am to goto my new job when I was used to getting up at 2-3pm was a complete headfuck

You all need to drink more

Or quite possibly less.

 

[old.Reverend Flatus]

No, Wij is right.

I used to have a lot of problems getting to sl33p. Now I drink 3-4 b33rs every night and sl33p fine

 

[Wilier]

I find it a bit strange that I work a 5 shift pattern, so my sleep pattern is all over the place, and yet when Im on rest days, I can goto bed and get up at "normal" hours.

I do have a problem on the night of a quick turnaround, where if I dont drink about 3 fingers of Jimmy's best Beam, I cant sleep at all but, hey ho.

Who needs Nitol when you've got Alcohol

Woke up at 9am to phone in sick then woke up again at 4pm. Now I'm gonna have to have tomorrow off work as well cos I'm not gonna be able to sleep at a decent time tonight.

Trials and tribulations...

 

[Wij]

Oh, I have deep sympathy :/
