About a month ago I actually got myself a drum kit (pictured on the left), and I've been loving the hell out of ... http://spork-chan.net/?p=309 Okay, so you can disregard that last post. The real top secret project has been revealed, and it's a biggie. May I introduce Vaporware, a mapset for the eternity engine that's been worked on over the course of about a year under wraps (kinda). The project, a collaborative effort, is ... http://spork-chan.net/?p=300 I've occasionally pondered to myself what it would be like to work in a vacuum; to work without any outside sources coming in and criticizing my work or telling me how I should and shouldn't do things. So it's with great pleasure that I announce the release of my latest ... http://spork-chan.net/?p=297 [singlepic id=102 w=176 h=128 float=right]It's been quite a while since I last did a formal map review, so I thought I'd get things going again by reviewing something big: The NewDoom Community Project II. I first remember hearing about this project three years ago; it's been a long time in ... http://spork-chan.net/?p=254 The site is back up after quite a bit of downtime.

Well, ... http://spork-chan.net/?p=239 I've been playing around with the 1.0 release candidate of Songbird for a few days. For the ill-informed, Songbird is an open source, extension-based media player which is being developed as the "Firefox of media players". I used an early build of the program a few months ago back when ... http://spork-chan.net/?p=173 Well, it seems I've let comment spam get the best of me. The amount of comment spam I've gotten in the last few months was in the thousands. I've currently got Akismet running to help combat any future spam attacks. However, in an attempt to wipe out all of the ... http://spork-chan.net/?p=77 I recently picked up a copy of Guitar Hero World Tour for the 360. I didn't have very high expectations when I purchased it, so I wasn't all that disappointed when the game turned out to be what is essentially a poor man's Rock Band. As a matter of fact, ... http://spork-chan.net/?p=168 Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, the third installment of the Castlevania series for the Nintendo DS, came out the other day. Being the rabid Castlevania fanboy that I am, I just had to get a copy the day it came out. I'm starting to seriously regret that decision, but not for ... http://spork-chan.net/?p=166 Rock Band 2 for the XBOX360 came out well over a month ago, and I've been hooked since day one.
