It's
only been two weeks since I posted anything here, yet it feels
more like a month lol. This time around I'll just run down
a few things quick-like, which will put me back on track to make
updates as info rolls in. Here we go:
•
Two well-known ambassadors of the game were sighted recently
at MTMG and KC's: S p r e
k e r & Spider.
S p r e k e r has mentioned
re-engaging, but as far as I know Spider
simply dropped by for a "Hello - how are ya"!
We'll see what develops.
•
Fixmore-3 is out! I could easily regurgitate all the new
changes and what's been discussed over at MTMG, but I figure
it's easier just to do this.
•
Team SLO sponsors three distinctly different functions:
Our
intent is to offer something for everyone, so by all means join
in on the fun!
•
Finally, SLO_nOct3rn4l(our resident phonics expert...as you can tell by the
name lol), has expanded our Team Speak
voice chat area to include a "Help Forum". The
goal is to provide a means for administering or obtaining help with
technical difficulties using a voice medium as opposed to text. It's still in the
developmental phase, but we're close to finalizing the deal -
more to come!

New Track & New Track Maker posted

Yesterday
Malibu350 tipped me off
about a track by an unknown who goes by the name "Derz".
His track is called "Wilderness",
& if I may borrow Mal's
words, at least until I have time to get more of an in-depth
look and come up with some words of my own for the review,
"this thing is massive, easily the most extensively
developed terrain this game has ever seen on a single track."
It's definitely a "must see" piece of work. Yep,
it's got a few novice-like blemishes, but I'm telling you, this
is one very impressive track, so by all means treat yourself to
something special and download it now!
Shortly
after "X-Raid" was released quite a few major
shortcuts were found, prompting OLD_mumhra
to release a "tourney version". Both versions
are available at MTMG,
however, our page only has the tourney
version.

Cr@$hC@rt's New Track Release! posted

His
new track is entitled "World
Grand Prix 2 - Silverton Raceway" and it definitely fits into the "highly recommended"
category. I know I've used this line before, but if you
don't like this track, maybe knitting or Bingo! is more
your speed. It's a short, curvy little circuit with an
asphalt racing surface, wide racing lanes, & several
subtle elevation changes that's sure to keep you on edge.
Cr@$h
is a guy we've watched grow up over at MTMG,
and it's nice to see him producing quality work instead of the
assembly line tracks he used to crank out by the dozen it seems
like lol. Great job, Cr@$h, and don't be surprised if this
one winds up on our upcoming APL
update!

Ultra Login 1.32 Released posted

As
promised (even though he took his time about it lol) ATW_Vipa_
released a new and improved version of Ultra
Login. It's cleaner, meaner, and faster than ever
before (I watch a lot of commercials lol), so get it now!
If you're so inclined, you can tell him what you think of his
program right here.
I'm sure he'd appreciate the feedback.
Thanks
a bunch, Vipa_!! Man,
I love this little program. In less than 8 seconds I can
be in the Zone, ready to launch a game with nLuVnIt
and Christy - my two
favorite rumble-ettes. I prefer doing rumbles with ponds
or rivers in them, that way I can hold their heads underwater
til the bubbles just about stop, yank 'em up for a few secs,
then plunge em back down in the water again lol. It's more
fun than it sounds; guess you just have to try it. At any
rate, thanks again, bud!

The Return of "Nrrivas!!!" posted
byCOPE Feb
5, 04
From
the guy who brought us such classics as "KOM's Suicide
MX", "Heights of Mérida", "Cayo
Barrocho" "The Hills of San Juan" and
more, he's back with a new track after a rather extensive
layoff. It's called "La
Julia" - a short circuit with all the classic Nrrivas
touches & nuances. Without going into detail (saving
that for the review lol) it simply means it's a sure-fire
winner! Looks like another candidate for our upcoming APL
update to me!
It's
great to see ya back, Nrrivas.
I've always been a fan of your stuff, man. I hope this
isn't a one-time good deal, but if so, we'll most certainly
graciously accept your offering and be satisfied (more than)
with it. Again, great stuff, but truthfully I would expect
nothing less!

OLD_mumrha's New Release! posted

With
five other tracks to his credit, this is by far his best effort
to date. Our racing companion has just taken a giant leap
forward in terms of track making, and his newest creation,
"X-Raid" serves
as testimony to that statement. It's a rally based on the
famed marathon racing event, "Paris to Dakar", and the
guy really did a heck of a job. If you haven't
picked a track for our upcoming APL update (April 1),
consider this one a no-brainer.
Mum,
I really like how this one turned out, and although some
may shy away from it due to it's length (7 min long), I for one
am more than willing to put in two or even three laps on it any
time, any day lol. Excellent job, partner-- nicely done!
