I dunno if anyone else noticed, but for me, at least, the midi files in the
pop-up 'music box' that I have here haven't worked in so long. Whether it was some
plug-in I finally got installed, or the changes I just made to the html files, I
don't know.. But at least they work now.
Well, if anyone's actually interested, I've done a character sketch for that which I
mentioned in the last news bit. The character known as Aleksander "Hawk" MacKay has
finally gotten a full-sized portrait, so to speak. Too bad I don't have a scanner to
properly transfer the image from paper to hard drive.
However, I've taken shots of 3 levels of zoom of both the initial sketch, and the
revision of the same sketch, making for 6 total digital camera captures. They aren't
really that high-quality, but they're better than nothing, I suppose.
A Downscaled version of my 'close-up' shot:
Full-version of the 'close-up'
Upper-body shot. The 'thing' in his left hand is supposed to be a ball of lightning,
to represent his mental abilities
Full-body shot. It really gets blurry with this, and understandably so. Trying to
get the whole image in one shot, and with as little blurring as possible, isn't easy.
I won't bother with the three pics of the first version of the sketch.. Really minor
differences, such as arm length, and the fact that the pistol is not shaded in.
Well, if there's anyone who frequents this place anymore, I hope you enjoy..

Further Update for today's news: I have now changed the pop-up music window from
being automatic to a manual link, under the Misc. section of the Main to the left.
Just click it and the StormJukeBox will pop-up.

Well, aren't I the tardy one? How long have I left this site without an update? Does it matter?
I've probably already lost any form of a regular 'following' by now..
Not like I cared for one anyway.
Well, I'm just going to write here that I am still alive, at least. I haven't been able to do much with
respect to this site for the past, what? Year? Yeah, that's a long hiatus. Well, anyway..
I finally fixed the MegaTokyo imagery in the B4k4-1ns4n30, like Fred Gallagher's 'Ph34r t3h cute ones'
image and the linked strips in the Largo-mania sub-section of that. I don't *think* there's anything
else..
Oh yeah, I am, as this moment, very busy with things such as College, Clan Hyena (MW4), and MegaTokyo:
the Clans (A Forum-based RPG that has sprung up over the years, created by fans of the MegaTokyo
webcomic.. The MT:tC site says "Yes, I know it's pathetic.." )
MegaTokyo: the Clans
And with just me as the only person working on things here, well, that's amounted to alot of nothing
with respect to material here.. Expect there to be more of it in the future. (The nothing, that is)
This is one pathetic "Paladin", signing off..

Hello there all you happy people you... I know it's been a while since I've updated...
I'm actually getting some work done on the Syndicate Revolution scenario for StarCraft...
If I decide I'm happy with what I've done so far, I may just post it up...
Anyway, the biggest change here is that I've now moved to my dad's site, the Computer Show... (see right side for link)
just go there and then tag onto the URL stormforge (because that's the new directory), that is, if you aren't already at the new site...
This is the "Paladin", signing off...

Mechanized Propulsion Systems... pioneers of mecha, also called
BattleMechs, HERCULANs, Gears, Mobile Suits... They are working on constructing the first walking vehicle
of humanity. They've got the brainpower. They're getting the resources. They're making a fantasy a
reality...
The machine design displayed above is a conceptual for their MPS Mark-I, the first in a series of
5 mecha they plan to design and produce, or at least license others to produce if necessary.
It is scheduled for completion in July of 2002, so those of you interested may try to go down to their
Mecha Construction Facility (MCF-1)down near LA, and see how they're doing.

Date of Birth: During the year 1995 (I joined in '96)
Date of Death: Early Summer, 1999
"I have good news and bad news..." (Schneider, SNL) (Well... old bad news...)
WOW! I found a copy of The Black Hand(TBH) Clan's logo! (They were an MPlayer-NetMech Clan)
I was sifting threw some disks and checking what was
on them, when i stumbled upon... THE tbhlogobk.gif FILE!!! Dam, I'm not sure when I last gazed at this symbol which
I first pledged my online allegiance to... That's right, this was the first online unit I joined...
Almost seems so distant a past... almost like it really wasn't my past... I do so miss those bros of mine that
I still remember... Khan FEVER, G. Cmd. The Joker, St. Col Kid Rash... *sigh* (I was known as Mike Killer then,
since my real first name is Mike, and my first ever callsign was Killer, cus my dad used Suicide (Which means you
must be suicidal to go up against him), and I wanted a related name. Heh, I guess fathers will always be a boy's
true hero, idol, and rolemodel... I only fairly recently thought up the whole Aleksander "Paladin" Storm, like as I
played Starsiege, I just sorta came up with it... I should state where i got the different parts of my character name
in my profile... how about I do that for this update, other than the new dedication to Clan TBH in the Battletech
section... )

As a concerned American citizen, I'd just like to say... WE'RE ALL F###IN' DOOMED!...
Lets review the facts... We got kamikaze planes raining down on the US's key centers,
Game companies of great renown are disappearing... it's all quite clear that... WE'RE F###IN SCREWED!
Not only do we have a major Terrorist threat goin on, but we got the 'Terrorism' of companies like
Vivendi,
Hasbro, and Bethesda
tearing our virtual world apart (Hasbro and Bethesda have been doing it longer...
since Hasbro bought Microprose,
and Bethesda... well...). Then we got $#!T masquerading as games coming out
of even once prestigious companies, and exceptional game series that have pleased millions for years
are vanishing from existance (mainly Vivendi's handiwork with Sierra's
classic Quest games (Police Quest, Space Quest, King's Quest...) and Leisure Suit Larry,
and Hasbro for causing the decay of, IMO, a truly masterful company who created
3 of the greatest strategies humanity has ever known... (I, of course, am
talking about X-COM, Civilization, and Master of Orion, and the company is obviously Microprose) )...
But some new games recently developed have somewhat raised my spirits on the virtual front... games like
Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos from
Particle Systems and Infogrames,
Conquest: Frontier Wars from
Fever Pitch Studios
and Ubi Soft (also, Chris Roberts, of Wing Commander fame, was also involved in the
creation of this title...), the revival of Civilization [3]
(Firaxis Games)
and Master of Orion [3] (Quicksilver Software Inc.),
and the increasing popularity of team-oriented First Person Shooters, like Tribes
(But with Dynamix gone, thats kinda gettin me depressed)...
If only someone would bring some game like X-COM to the market...
X-COM was a truly popular game, and now with Mythos Games and their Dreamland Chronicles project out of the picture,
I'm not sure we will ever see that type of game ever again... Well, there are probably other good games coming out,
and I'm sure those responsible for the plane-bombs will be punished for their wrongful act, so don't count this planet
out yet... heh...
