The Ground Zero mission pack for Quake 2 is in the shops now. It's pretty much the same as the original single player levels in Quake 2 only a hell of a lot harder. The mission structure is a lot more complex than in original game and some of the new levels are huge. Only when your tearing out your hair in frustration will you understand what I mean by huge levels. there are the usual few new weapons added to the game but there pretty crap to be honest. A chainsaw is fuck all good to you when your attacked by two tank commanders at the same time. I feel its just a lazy option on the programmers part to stick in a weapon from a previous ID game (Doom), and it shows.

On a non quake note I found a demo on the latest PCgamer CD called "X". It seems to be a modern version of the classic space trading game Elite. The graphics don't quite look up to the Descent:Conflict freespace level but its still early days yet. Go HERE for more info on the game.

Dark Forces (ex Jedi) have got their web site up HERE and its looks damm good .though it would look even better if they put a link to this site on it (hint hint).

I came across a very cool looking new total conversion for quake2 called PredatorDM. One player plays the Predator and all the other players play as Marines trying to hunt the Predator down. All the cool Predator weapons from the movies have been included in the game. Take a look for yourself  here. Thanks go out to Hecate(Boba-Fett as he used to be know) for a very nice mention about this web site on his Warmachine site.

I'd like to thank WhitewashMan for letting me use his computer at QP.

Some news not connected to the pc for a change, there are some pics up here of the new Sonic game on the sega Dreamcast console. This machine in my opinion is going to blow every other format away. There are pics of Godzilla and VR2 as well. Both these games are going to be released for the launch of the console . On a PC note , the much talked about Power VR 2 card is not going to be delayed for a further length of time so it seems that the Voodoo 2 card will have a longer time to get established as a market leader . Thanks to Maxpayne for the above information.

Put up most of the site on my web sever and got to grips with a little of Frontpage98. It seems a decent enough program(even if it is made by Microsoft),easy to use for a novice like me.

Clan Kashmir have split up after only being together a few weeks. I have a feeling that this is because of all the slagging they have been getting over their choice of a clan name.Sorry to see you go lad's but don't let the door hit u on the way out as they say.

The quake.ie sever is down again for whatever reason Eddie is gonna make up this time(enjoy your self lad but watch out as those redbull's and vodka are a lethal combination).

Thanks also to CastorTroy(smart arse git) for pointing out my spelling mistake's and Shank for helping me with a slight problem with FrontPage.
