HardOCP forums, all the cool kids are doing it!!! **MAJOR UPDATE** Woo Hoo. . . I couldn't wait to spill (some of) the beans. I am starting my next series of interviews this Friday. They will be with the actual game developers and programmers on ALL the hottest titles and technologies. Think I'm just talkin' the talk?? How do these interviews sound: Ryan "Ridah" Feltrin of Xatrix ( photo's too! ) Mike Wilson from G.O.D. (The man with ALL the games:^) Kenn Hoekstra from Raven Jason Hall from Monolith ( photo's too!!) Randy Pitchford from Gearbox Tom Hall from Ion Storm Nick Triantos from nVidia To go along with these interviews starting this weekend, I am digging SO DEEP it hurts for stuff to give away with EACH interview. Mike Wilson at G.O.D. helped out ALOT by backing the G.O.D.'s goods truck up to my door and piling up the games!!! The one condition for the games??? Mike said "SHOW THE LOVE" by spreading the wealth. . so I'm going to randomly start forking over the games as the interviews start rolling. I have a few people working on some more stuff to give away too!! I still have the "Wall O' Prizes" on the contest page that I'm going to go through as well. Like the logo say's "Far Beyond Being Cool", and if these aren't some of the coolest Guys on this Planet, I can only ask. . . . "What color is the sky in YOUR world." Let me tell you something else, it's not easy for these guys to be cranking out interviews and such, they are ALL bustin' ass on games for US to be playing right now. I have a handful of other interviews in the works right now. . but since it is my anniversary ( that only comes once every 4 yrs.) I'm outta here, and will see you all in the A.M. Hold on to your hats FREAKS. . . . It's an interview with none other than Billy "Wicked" Wilson from Voodoo Extreme. Let me tell you, Extreme SHOULD be Billy's middle damn name. We cover everything, and I mean everything, NAKED photos of the DOG. . . and Billy himself MOLESTING the damn goldfish ( on videotape ) I'm sure some parental advisory needs to be inserted here. . . . hehehe, huh I said . . inserted. Go see what this knife fightin' fool has to say. . . then start a campaign to ban his ass from the PET STORE. . . .
Tues. 2.29.00 I am updating to let you all know, I am enjoying my anniversary very much. . . thank you. And that I have a FANTASTIC Leap Day interview going today with the "Hardest Working WebDood" I know. Let's just say, he updates four sites. . . wow, count em' folks. . four!! So let's go see how our buddy Infern0 does it. . . . . . **side note** our hard drive winner's name will be posted tonight as well on the contest page. While your there gawking at a winner, enter to Win that Voodoo3. . . **Sunday Night Fever** I'll say this for you guys, with the goodness I have lined up for you this week, they need to open PlanetInterview. What do you guys think?? I'll be the site that does nothing but Reviews/Interviews/Previews. . . get a little head of steam going here, and WATCH OUT!!!! If you think that's a good idea, Here's the lady we all need to tell. . . I have an interview up with none other than Caryn "HellChick" Law from PlanetQuake. I don't want to spoil the interview for you but this is the kind of girl who ACTUALLY say's that she's not afraid to "Cut off John Romero's hair in a supermarket check out line and AUCTION IT OFF ON E-BAY" . . . . wow.
Sat. 2.26.00 First off, our one month anniversary came and went, seeing 60,000+ hits in a month sure makes me feel good. I dig all you guys/gals that not only visit, but also e-mail me with tips/advice/comments. Thanks!! I am also happy to say that alot of the BIG companies and manufacturers are "coming around" and helping out alot with support and products to review and then give away. I am also very PROUD to announce that more than a few companies/individuals are interested in making sure Wolfe ( my HTML hero ) and I attend this years E3 in sunny California. So if your a company or (potential) Sponsor, it is Always good advertisement to sponsor your FAVORITE "Up and Coming" site with the goods so we can let all the readers know what a fantastic company you really are!! Plus it's always nice to have a cool "Sponsored By" logo or button besides the default :
Wednesday, 2. 23. 2000 What were you doing 3yrs ago??? Dont remember?? I do, I met my next interview subject through her Clan. Clan PMS. Vangie "Aurora" Beal went on to become the WebMistress of the successful GameGirlz, while I. . . well, I'll explain below. . . In the mean time, click the link to see Aurora's interview here, all I can say out here on the front page of my site is this. . . I got pictures of chicks feeling boobies, get in there and see if I'm lying : Looking back almost 3 years ago, my top end state of the art gaming rig was a P-166, 1.8gig, Monster 3D , Monster Sound, 15 inches of monitor madness and I was voted "1997 Quake's Sexiest Male". Quake 1 was still HOT and Quake2 right on the horizon. Paul Steed and I were actually in the "Sexiest Male" contest although back then he had the "hair / sword" thingy going and I was doing the "topless for votes" deal. Heh, really look : **warning, actual
contest The funniest part was, I had met my next Interview subject through this whole contest deal on Sirens Picpage. Sun. 2.27.00 Yes, the
"sponsored in part by: My MOM" is a joke. . . **sheesh** I cant
believe so many of you asked!?! If you are a hardware vendor, another cool site,
a game company or just someone with cool gaming related stuff and you'd like to
contribute like **Saturday Night Fever** I got a juicy interview up right now with David Shipley of PlanetAvP, no boobs being held or buns taping in this interview. . but once you're done with THIS interview, you might not go back ( to buns taping ). Check it out: **UPDATE** I got JCal from STOMPED on deck. I am proud to say I am now interviewing the interviewer. Huh?? That's right, JCal and the crew, if you remember correctly are the ones who helped EVERY GAMER on the planet by putting the spotlight on our Dangerously Dumb Anti-Hero Lt. Col. David Grossman. Wow, when the smack needed to be put down. . . . Lt. Col. David Grossman was STOMPED. heh. Click below to get the goods. . . . Friday, 2.25.00 What a day I tell ya, what a day. . . . No response back as of yet from our Hard Drive winner, and the site has been absolutely CRAZY with activity over this interview stuff. That poor hit counter is working overtime. . . . . Since 3dfx is sending out the truckload of goods to my door as we speak. . . I'll start this next contest off showing a little good faith and give away a trusty VooDoo3-2000 w/TennMax cooler on it. . . I'm gonna get a few TennMax coolers here soon to smack on other stuff. . test it. . . review it. . . and give it away too. . . Just gotta get the time to bug our buddy Vince over there. So head over to the contest page and try to win the VooDoo3-2000 card I gots in my Hot little hands. Still today :^) **COOL UPDATE** I
am in the process of notifying the winner of the Maxtor 15gig H.D. I will post
the winner on the contest page ,hopefully by tonight, when the winner responds!!
I also want to let everyone know that I have a few cool 3dfx updates too. . .
Our next prize to be given away will be a VooDoo3 - 2000 w/ TennMax Cooler, and
I have great news from my new "LOVE INTEREST" Sandee at I want all of you to know that tomorrow is the 1 month anniversary of this site. . . NO KIDDING. . 50,000+ hits this month!!! Keep it up and someone will interview me ( not you again either Mom. . . ) In case everyone forgot, with all this interview goodness going on, I am also giving away that 15gig hard drive when the counter hits 55,000. . . . . and as popular as this whole interview thing has been. . .

So I'll keep you posted on what's the next PRIZE to be given away!!! Thursday, 2.24.2000 . .
Tuesday, 2. 22. 2000 Massive Bitch, Massive Bitch, Massive Bitch. . . . . . I LOVE saying that!!!! Our sixth interview is online and it's with none other than. . . you guessed it. . . Massive Bitch from Polycount. I'll tell you what, no stone is left unturned and nothing is sacred. . . some of the more colorful comments involve "small penis buttons" and "John Romero at a self help seminar". This one cant be missed. Presidents Day, 2000 In the process of interviewing as many WebMasters as I have lately, I have had some great conversations with all of them. I have gained a little knowledge as to which companies will give stuff for reviews and which companies actually couldn't give a rip whether or not anyone ever get's to review their products. I have been told that some reviewers even had to get "certain companies" products through their own retail sponsors because the most of these suck-ass companies rely mainly on their own internal Marketing, and let the product be shipped w/o any reviews in the hopes their products are purchased on HYPE alone. . . wow. At the end of this coming week, I am going to publish the "Top Ten STUPIDEST" excuses that hardware companies have given for NOT sending a product for review. And let me tell you. . . some are downright funny. Here's a little taste " I'm sorry but I am afraid that I do not have any product to send to you at this time. But please stay in touch as you never know when my board allocation will change." Wow, the WHOLE company was completely out of video cards at the time. . . . . not even a used board?? :^)Suck-ass companies BEWARE. . . stupid, newbie webmasters such as myself might just do the unthinkable and print the names of your COMPANIES here, and then suffer the consequences later. Then again, What consequences could there possibly be. . . their already NOT sending me their products. Hmmm, I got an idea... Just to let the FAITHFUL contest guys-n-gals know, I am HARD at work to get some give away T-shirts, Hats and such to give to you guys that are entering in each contest faithfully. It's an uphill battle with some of these companies. . . let me tell you. I can guarantee you though, If you get a T-shirt/Hat/watch/naked picture from any company here on this site, they are definatly one of the good companies. Not one of the suck-ass compnaies that will make my top ten list. . . . :^) Monday, February 21, Y2K Count it baby, Interview number five. I have another interview up today with my newfound HONEY ( shh, don't tell our spouses. . . ) Trillian, of QGirlz!! I know how much all you freaks LOVE to see a girl duct taping another girls butt while id Software's Tim Willits watches ( wow, that's kinky ), So I posted a pic in this interview of Trillian stroking her **ahem** kitty. . . . I'm serious, click here and see if I'm lying. . . I dare you. . . c'mon Sunday, February 20th, 2000 Fourth interview is up today, This time we put Pulse from QuakeHelp in the Hotseat and get a few good questions in. I'd like to thank Pulse as well as ALL the other WebMasters that have taken the time to do these interviews for me. I know how busy you can be, ESPECIALLY when your name is QuakeHelp. . everyone comes to you for help. Saturday, February 19th, 2000 Contest
Update I also have my fourth interview going up tonight, these are just so much fun. If you guys would like to know about a certain WebMaster. . . drop me a line, and I'll rope em' in, just for you guys!!! deal?
**MY
THIRD INTERVIEW IS ONLINE** A

Interview Update Check out the cool picture of Tim Willits from id Software helping to put tape on her butt, what a great guy!!! Good
News and Lame News now, the lame. . . . . You guys would be suprised at which companies are soooooooo lame, they "supposedly" dont have ANY products at this time to send out. What I think, is they dont have ANY to "GIVE AWAY" on my site. . . . wow. I wont mention any names. . . . Companies that SUCK, know they SUCK. . . . and I dont need to point out that they SUCK! ! Thank
God For Cool Companies Thursday, February 17th, 2000 Thanks

Everyone who didn't win, NO SWEAT. . . I'm just gonna keep giving stuff away!! So enter to win the 15gig HD or the Celery 400 below!!! **side note, again. . I mentioned earlier that I have requests out right now to all the major Hardware and Software companies to have them send products to be reviewed by this site, and then given away. . . . I am seriously thinking about a petition or signed letter of interest. . . If you would sign a petition like that, let me know when you enter the contest!!!! Cool? I think the little saying "far beyond being cool" in the logo is right on the money when you think of the name. . . . and it sure sounds ALOT better than "damn close to being dead" or "so cool you'll croak" or "so cool, ya might not make it" . . . hehe Valentines Day Eve Ok, I have sent out ANOTHER notification to our new winner of the Q3A TinBox ( since the first winner had submitted a bad e-mail address. . . doh!! ) and as soon as HE contacts me back, I will post his name and get his prize sent out to him. Remember when you enter the contests guys & gals a VALID e-mail address is a must, because thats how I contact the winners!! **side note, the files section will be up soon, I will have RazorDoom, and LadyRed up first for download. . . so the link doesn't work quite yet. . . . I am throwing up a new page look/design here soon. . . please feel free to let me know which "look" you prefer most!!! Grand Opening Contest Starting Friday!!!! O.K. . . . here's the new deal. . . .

This Contest will go until Feb 29th (my anniversary) or 40,000 hits! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Feb 11th To catch alot of you up to speed, around the 1st of Feb, I started this whole contest thingy. . . and I promised the TNT2 to someone when the counter hit 10,000 or in two weeks, which was coincidentally my sons Birthday. Well, here it is. . . . my son's Birthday is about 6 hours away and the hit counter only needs 500 to hit 25,000. . I have already given away a TNT2 and now someone in the next few hours is going to win that AWESOME Quake 3 Arena TinBox Edition! ! !

I am working on this skin, and it's a little time consuming. . . but I am posting a FULL skinning TUTORIAL using this guy when I'm finished with him. I hate it when I see SKIN TUTORIALS from people whose skins look like a 3rd grader did them. . . . . hehehe, playschool skins kick ass!! Feb 7th More *proof* that "Girls rule, while the boyz drool". . . this awesome skinsite is a great example of what a good skin site needs to be. Wanna hear a funny one??

I am thinking up a COOL contest for the limited edition Q3Arena TinBox. . . . So stay tuned freaks. . . . . Cool Tip of the Day Not that I should ( or would ) do this, but one of our "contestants" in the drawing said his tip for getting to the 10,000 mark is "logging on to hypothermia, then I hit the refresh button a couple of times before I log off your site" hehehe, cool. . . thanks JM!!! And the second funniest one was "dood, I made Hypothermia my Start page so every time I fire up my browser ( 2 or 3x a day ) you get another hit" now thats some funny ass stuff. . . Thank you GL_92!!! You guys are too cool. HypoThermia EVERYWHERE! ! ! . . . . well kinda :^). . Alot of e-mail has been flying in over the fact there are TWO (that we know of) Q3Arena sites called Hypothermia. Although it may cause a little confusion, My buddie Ian Jefferies has a cool site up with a tutorial on using Borland to compile Quake3 Arena code. It's an alternative to using C++ (as I understand it). So hit my links page and see what he's got going over there!!!! *NO HE'S NOT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY EITHER!!!!* *PlanetQuake sure knows how to get all the good sites too, they've just snagged HypoThermia up too!!! I knew PlanetQuake kicked much ass for a reason. . . . * Hehe, look at that counter folks. . . . the faster it gets too 10,000 the faster that card is given away and we can move on to our next contest!!!
