Gamespot Makes a Comeback

The Further Adventures at Earth-Netone

Dave "Midgard" Monson has just completed another design for Peter Telep at his official website. He will also be doing a Flash 4 piece soon. If you haven't been to www.earth-netone.com in a while, you're in for a surprise. It looks pretty sharp. You can find the Official Peter Telep site here.

Our Daily Crid

I've got a few things here I've decided to condense into one single update.

• It probably comes as no surprise that I get into conversations about Wing Commander with random people on the street all the time. So when I'm stuck in a dentist's chair for an hour, I can rather go off. And this time it made a difference. At my latest checkup my doctor was pleased to let me know he bought a copy of Wing Commander for the office. Now I can sleep at night knowing little kids getting their cavities filled can have some of their pain relieved with Wing Commander. If you're looking for a dentist around Seattle, Dennis Nordlund is cool.
• There's lots of birthdays going on this weekend, two of which are going on right here. Happy Birthday Trelane and Hadrian!
• And last but not least.. the new Super Soakers are appearing in stores! There are fourteen new kickass models going on sale this year and I've seen about half in Seattle stores so far. If you'd like to know more about them, check out SuperSoaker.com. And here's a really outdated picture of my Super Soaker shrine (I really need to take a picture of my Wing Commander shrine..).

Shock Docs Cock Up!

Medical disaster correspondent Hypp O'Crates reports. There's trouble at the Millground Alternative Therapies unit on Hades, where controversial Electro-conformity treatment has been taking place. The treatment, given to repeat criminal offenders, involves passing huge voltages of electricity through the patient's synapses. The tests have had mixed results; very few of the out-patients have re-offended, but given that the mortality rate has been around 40%, this is perhaps not overly surprising. Research continues, but more Platinum and Rhodium is required to make the precision electrodes required in the remedy.
