Blab #3 - Another day, another Gnug... - Saturday, 5th September, 1998

Anyone else think that new version of "Another one bites the Dust" is utter, total, complete blasphemy and crap ? Yes, I AM allowed to voice opinions, and have strong emotional outbursts, tho I'm commonly seen as the "Neutral" Gnug in most cases. Not that this "Dust Biting" thing is something exclusively crappy event that I just HAD to voice my opinion against. Just felt a need to strike down on the lame trend to copy/steal/parodize (not you Weird Al, you rule!) on anything to make a quick buck. Take some old sure Hit, put a more 90's beat to it (saaaame monotonous crap as always, just updated sound) and then have some crapper rapper stand there and sound as if they own the damn song. Some few exceptions actually sound OK. BUT DAMMIT, it's THEFT, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

NOTE: The "RAAAAAAAAA" is a long growling sound of rage which (as I know) actually originates from Gnug2000. (You should hear a wav. file with his "raaaaaaaa", it's worth it's bytes in gold, with that funny voice and british accent.) The "RAAAAAAAAAAA" was a counter attack to my continous "Muahahahahahah" assaults conducted on GnugCQ (The Gnuggified version of ICQ).

On the subject of ICQ and the whole world (From the first Gnug Blab about everyone should be playing games). ICQ should be on EVERYONE'S computer. It should be standard with Win95/98 or whatever. It's truly what the internet is about, email (sort of, in the form of short Messages), chat (standard "turn based" IRC chat, or the preferred "Real-Time Split-Screen mode), file transfer, support for game-launching and netmeeting/conferences and so on. IF by some freak accidental chance you do not HAVE ICQ... You should really get it. It's Free, and only a meg or 2 in download. Find it at www.icq.com. And join the rest of the world. :o)

Arh, better have something TA related in this Blab. Some 3rd Party unit making group (Tammo I believe) have apparently made some break-through in unit making. The ability for off-breakable parts and area specific damage and sorts. It really does sound interesting, and has huge potential. Just hope CD decides to start utilizing this supposedly new-found ability. Just goes to show what a great engine the TA engine is, and that there is lotsa room for improvement and new abilities and features.

Ah, btw, I gained the #3 spot on the Ladder from CyberDrgn. I was getting desperate so I chose a map which I was rather comfortable on this time. Was a great game, and he fought well. One down, 2 to go, will get em fast... Right ?? No ? ach.
