2 weeks of nothing; hoping to receive a nice big fat update. but, instead all you get is this ..

i've finally finished my finals (my excuse for laziness over the last two weeks), so i've got a whole lot of nothing to do for the next 4 months. i guess it's time for some much needed gprime improvements. if you've got any ideas to make all of our lives more amusing, drop by the forum and see what everyone thinks.

lukus001 has been bugging me throughout my finals to install the arcade mod for vBulletin. i told him after i was done i would do it, if he reminded me. i hoped he would forget ..... but he didn't. so now there's an <a href="http://gprime.net/board/arcade.php" target="_new">arcade</a> on the forum. <i>don't hurt yourself trying to beat my awesome top scores :c)</i>

after a debate of who was better at tetris between me, kewmat, and blackice <i>(kewmat somehow ended up stealing the top score)</i>, blackice suggested an official gprime tetrinet server <i>(ah.. good ol' tetrinet..</i>). we had one around a year ago, back when only 5 or 6 people visited the site. now that the traffic around here is a little higher, it'll be interesting to see how many people we can scrounge up. if you want to play, the server address is "gimpy.gprime.net", and if you want to know what the heck tetrinet is, you can learn about it at <a href="http://tetrinet.org/" target="_new">tetrinet.org</a>.

.. or if you prefer amusement that doesn't require movement, thinking, or clicking, then see below ..

blow darts... what *can't* they solve?
<a class="wmv" href="http://gprime.net/video.php/blowdarts">blow darts</a> [ 2152KB ]

how about a nice romantic sleigh ride? ;]
<a class="wmv" href="http://gprime.net/video.php/sleighride">sleigh ride</a> [ 1507KB ]

i'm not sure if this is old or what, but someone emailed it to me a couple weeks ago and i've probably watched it over 50 times. <i>(this birds IQ is probably higher than mine)</i>
<a class="wmv" href="http://gprime.net/video.php/einsteinthebird">einstein the bird</a> [ 2291KB ]

edit:

i just noticed it says "Snake Champion! Space Invaders Champion! Asteroids Champion!" under my name on the forums now. <i>i know you're all jealous!</i>

Ok I've been lurking around here for the last... year or something, but for some reason I just can't resist registering if someone puts an arcade section on his forum. Nice update!

(ps: I've also beaten John in Space invaders)

and for those diehard gprime fans, here's a tetrinet theme i made up, throw it in your data directory replacing "TNETBLKS.BMP" and "TETRINET.MIDI"

Maybe we should have some more arcade games (*cough* (http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/arcade.php?))
cause even though oldskool is 99% better then games from now, even they get boring after a couple of hours :P

Oh yeah and the score at that tetris challenge... I screwed up bigtime lol

When you copy paste it to your browser it'll just send you to the named ip adress. You need to install TetriNet, run TetriNet, go to client settings, and then paste it at server ip (either copy paste the ip adress or just gimpy.gprime.net)

fishy? i believe it's downright cheating. the time is too short to have racked up that many points. he's dominated the entire champion status. What i fear right now is that it will become a war of cheating :(

on another note, anyone wonder why maeda path isn't champed by him/her/it? it requires the mouse being on the window, so you can't go out and use your cheating program.

actualy if u dont hit the starting spot with your mouse at the begining of a level then it doesnt count u as started. i figured this out accidentaly.
