Got the new modem from DSL Extreme last night. My speed test results are still showing my download speed to be around 1.5 - 2 megs but I was able to download the Crysis demo at about 6 megs so it looks like the speed tests aren't showing the right speeds. Upload is getting into the mid 600s consistently. I tried starting up the Quake 3 server and people have been jumping on a couple of times in the last two hours so it must look good ping-wise.
In case you have had trouble getting to the site, it's because I have been having internet connection issues lately. My DSL provider is sending a new modem out and hopefully it will be here today or tomorrow and will correct the problems.
The new Soldier of Fortune Payback site is now open for viewing. Check it out here.
AMC is running a bunch of horror movies all this month. I've been catching up on all the Halloween movies I saw a looooong time ago. Halloween 5 is just starting now. I think this is the last one I ever saw. I need to check AMCs schedule to see if they have any more on but it looks like my connection just went out again.
I need to find some time to work on a new idea for the DOH! Network game server page.
I tried the Unreal Tournament 3 demo yesterday. It's a lot more grungier than previous UTs for sure. I'd host a server when the Linux port comes out but my connection is pretty much useless lately. AT&T has screwed up my line to the point where all it's good for is getting connected long enough to dump a bunch of spam in my inbox. I try to surf the net and it takes for ever to download the site if I can get it to download at all. Having a download speed of 80Kbps will do that. I've had AT&T out to check the line and DSL Extreme doing line tests but it looks pretty much normal to them. I tried to work from home today and that worked for a bit but after a couple of hours I was disconnected.
Epic Games has released a beta demo of Uneal Tournament 3. There is only a Windows version right now but thanks to Epic for letting everybody take part in the beta release. Not like all those other games that limit their betas to a couple of thousand players. Download the Unreal Tournament 3 beta demo from the best file download site on the net, File Front.
If you prefer a military shooter, you can check out the single player demo for Call of Duty 4.
While you are waiting for the Unreal Tournament or Call of Duty 4 demo to finish downloading, you can kill some time over at Tea Games. They have released a new episode of TG Motocross. This is the toughest one yet. Check out TG Motocross 3: Australia today.
DOH! Got stuck at work fixing stuff that wasn't mine again. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks all that will change. Gonna have to wait and see but it looks pretty good that there's gonna be some staffing changes.
