Good morning to everyone out there in Internet Land. Today's news is going to a little more different than normal. We as a staff have decided since this time of year news is normally slow due to the holidays. We are going to capitalize on that. So over the course of the next 3 days we will be packing in as much news and information as possible. The reason is that starting Thursday December 23rd and going through the 2nd of January we will all be taking a break from the site. The guys have worked very hard and have consistently posted cool news over the last year. So my reward to them is giving them more time to play video games!! Oh yea, and spend some time with family. So today's news will be a little shorter but it will carry on into tomorrow. The Coup De Grace to all of this is that I will finally (yes finally) be finishing Part Three of the History of Unreal Tech article and it will be published on Monday January 3rd. It will have some exclusive interviews with several people who were key in designing Unreal Tournament.
In lighter nerd news, a fellow geek has a special treat for the holidays. The picture below contains the first ever (in my knowledge) Geek X-mas Tree!

from the same thread:

Twas the night before Geekmas
and all through the house
No PCs were stirring,
Not even the MSmouse.
The children were offline
and stuck in their heads
Were visions of DOOM3
so they hid under their beds
When up from the roof
There rose such a clatter
It was louder than a Maxtor
with an off-balance platter...
The light from the LCD on the face of the lan-er,
Gave the lustre of mid-day like a USB scanner,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh filled with cool pc gear,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew knew he was naviagating with his wireless NIC.
More rapid than Raptors his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
Now Dasher! Now Razor! Now Laser and Fittsen!
On Clocker! On CPUid! On Talon and Blitzen!
To the top of the case! To the top of the screen!
Now flash away! Flash away! Flash away all!
As benchmarks that always leave our mouths dry,
When the graphs on TR reach for the sky,
So up to the case-tower the reindeer they flew
With the sleigh of ph4t l00t, and Saint Damage too!
While I with my voltmeter
And Ma turning red
I soon found out
the powersupply was dead |
