Today, I downloaded the new Neverwinter Nights patch for Hordes of the Underdark. While I was downloading the huge 25MB patch, I went on my other PC and created a Neverwinter Nights mod called “Ian’s Fantasy World.” It’s not release quality for sure. The mod is set in a forest with a 3 goblins grouped together set along a path. The graphics are nwn quality. My mod is meant for starting characters. But I made it easy for myself...I used someone else’s mod to get started. That’s the best part! I know, playing with mods is a waste of time, and perhaps I should use that time to play online. I never was much of an Unreal Tournament mod developer because I play few FPS though I keep updated with the new patches on all my games and downloaded the official map hacks if there are any. And then when I did play online, I died so often, and I just got boring. Believe it or not I was always on the upper half of the score sheet in UT1999. I noticed that lag got better with Ut2003. I could play first person shooters again online. But then theirs the awesome Call of Duty to play online. I don't have it. But I heard it's about the best WWII game out. I have Metal of Honor Allied Assault. I played the demo online at school. Their are a lot of gamers online that can frag a beginner. Everything is fair game, so that's another reason I switched to Diablo 2. It's much more fun to chat with people. Ya? I have all the official map packs for UT2003, and over 2 gigabytes of zipped maps for Unreal Tournament I’ve backed up on cdr. This was back when fileplanet.com was free. Why am I telling you this? I once thought I could play all of them, and be a master at Unreal Tournament – frag all my friends. After I found out that none of my friends played games online, I went the opposite direction, and became a big RPG fan both console and PC. At the begining I was a excellent marks man.
If I was to put my new mod online, it would be located at http://www.pressente...~scampbel/nwnmod.exe. I was playing Hordes of the Underdark a bit yesterday night, and then I was playing Diablo 2 for 8 hours straight today. I level upped 22 levels in one day. Playing the game is harder without the map hack I used before. I am now logged as *eyeofamarksman at USEAST Battlenet as a ladder character which means if I don’t play once every 3 days, my account will be deleted. No, I don’t play a PvP character or a level lecher. However, the new patch makes Duriel, Mophisco, and Baal harder. It would have been easier if I got further in the game, but party members kept dropping out of tight situations.

New Webpage Template online
Date: 12/16/03 at 8:28PM
I just finished with a new template and checked all the links to make sure that they were working. I liked using miniwindows in my website. All my gaming reviews are shorter a least. This is what I want surfers to read first is my reviews. I continued to look at my webpage and made minor changes through out the day. This day is the last day of school until January 02, 2004. I feel that I should be on my PS2 because this webpage business is sucking up all my time.
Go to Link: http://www.geocities.com/nightwalkers101/v7_index.html
I headed over to http://nwnvault.ign.com today at school and downloaded 470 MBytes worth of mods. I also got Norton Antivirus so if I had any viruses on my computer. Before I had this bad problem with the Downloader_Trojon Virus. It infected 6 files on my computer. So I had Norton repair those files. After that everything went smoothly.
Neverwinter Nights is really cool, I go online and play, level up. I usually create a new character everything I go online. I hear that Final Fantasy XI is getting popular. To bad I don't have a credit card.

I recently reopened my Battlenet account ....
Orginal Date: 12/15/03 at 10:42AM
Neverwinter Nights is a midevil computer role playing game released 1.5 years ago by Bioware, the creators of Knights of the Old Republic for Xbox / PC. I play online for the first time in four months. I bought the two expansions, Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark. Right now I’m getting into HotUD. There are some who prefer HotUD over SoU, but I agree with both of them. See, Neverwinter Nights is about a 40 hour game and most people play 5 hours online at the most (like me) which means they won’t get to the ending unless it’s their server. Both expansions have their own 15+ hour campaign. The game is as fun as Diablo 2 was – though I still play it online. It’s wonderful not to have a game that crashes! I remember back in Version 1.21 (one year ago) that the game barely managed to work. And it’s really fast on a modem now. Get this game it’s really fun to talk to people – sometimes. Make sure that your computer doesn’t get window popups because they’ll bug me and you.
When I went to Wal-mart to get Shadows of the Undrentide expansion, it was too crowded. It reminds me on how bad this time of year is. And I live in a smaller part of the country with about 2200 people.
I told readers last month that I was an ex-diablo 2 player. Now I’m back online. It’s fun for the amount of time I spent on it. I still see Diablo 2 at Wal-mart so it must still be popular. I bought by copy in 2000 and the expansion when it came out for the first time. I find that Amazons are the most fun to play. Although I like Barbarians too. They just specialize in Weapons and are the easiest to level I think. Now with the 1.10 patch, Diablo 2 has really accelerated. Within the first 15 minutes you’re at level four. You noticed that all Dungeon and Dragons games are a like. It’s not apart of the “Forgotten Realms” like all of Bioware’s games are. It’s much darker then Neverwinter Nights. The graphics are bad, but it’s still playable.

I'm downloading DIVX codec for the first time!
Original Date: 12/3/03 at 12:30AM
I headed over to Divx.com and downloaded Dr. Divx for my PC. Not that I'm going to edit video soon, but I wanted to see DIVX decoded in it's codec in action.In fact Internet Concepts was talking about different Codec to encode movies. If it does work and encode in AVI then I can bring it up in class. Imagine if you had a uncompressed "Desktop Video" about 2 hours, it would be below 650 MB compressed. Now I found out that the most common desktop video codec was AVI. I ran AVI and it can store a minute of video, very small screen with sound for about 550KB. Imagine how DIVX could work with streaming video. It's about half as small as most MPEGs and you can record a whole DVD movie on a CDR. Imagion how much video you can fit on a 4.7 G DVDR!!! Playstation 3 is going to read DVDRs so maybe it'll be able to read MPEG 4 & DIVX. My PS2 makes screeching sounds when I play movies. It's like a version 1.1 PS2. The first ones didn't have a system fan, this one does.
Anyway I found some freeware software. The selection is a little slim I might add. There is CrazyRIP (http://www.crazyrip.free.fr) which supposedly detects a movie playing and rips it to AVI encoded in Divx. It looks highly customizable and you don't need extra software. Next is DVD2AVI. It looks simple and rips streaming mpegII or MPV. Next choice requires anyone to download several files that plugin a program called Claddvd. (http://www.clonead.co.uk/) I've been saving the best DIVx all-in-one package available off the Internet for last called K-lite codec pack. (http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/mirror.htm)
School is going good so far, no problems really exist, or not the ones I wasn't to express on this page. Most of them are weak voices that I think I hear such as I know I can get every question right on my next quiz without studying in Internet Concepts. I like to think that I can but I really can't. It's the undeniable truth. Yep, I'm still downloading techno, country MP3s off the schools T1 server. What everyone else sees is my streaming audio, but I'm ripping that audio stream to the harddrive, and downloading it from the PC to my MP3 player I got on Nov. 01, 02. I must be a little odd in my game choices. I promised myself I wouldn't spend 50 dollars for a game that I would only play for about 20 hours then let it sit. This game from Urisoft (makers of Splitter Cell and Rayman) called Beyond Good and Evil could be my next investment. BGaE is a action adventure game that got good reader reviews for all platforms (that it's for.) It's has Zelda: Wind Waker like graphics and Zelda: Wind Waker type gameplay. I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking I just might own this title. I haven't really played Final Fantasy x-2 lately. I said I was going to be playing that game next. Remember I bought F-Zero GX for Gamecube 3 weeks ago? I haven't played it in about 3 weeks!!! That Action Replay set me back 20 more dollars then it should of. That sucks, and I can't return it because I opened it. Some of the newer games use a newer version of Action Replay. You all may laugh at me, but I cheated on Final Fantasy X-2. The saying "Cheaters never Prosper" applies here since my cheats make FFX-2 freeze. I wanted infinite items on my game. I doesn't make any sense because the codes were straight off Codejunkies.com!

Life is Okay
Original entry off Modblog on 11/29/2003
Here's for all you bloggers out there. I've got a load of PS2 games that I don't play. Some you may of heard this one already. I have both GTAs for the consoles. GTA 3 and VC are the best games for PS2 aren't they. I reviewed the game and I found it fun chasing criminals around in cop cars. Cool?
I am an ex-Diablo 2 player. Level headed online player who never duels. I learned that 50% of the time, you don't get your stuff back, unless you're stuff isn't worth *crap*, and that guy who you dueled just left the game. I still play the game once in a while offline, but I always felt that I was getting ripped off when I sell armor / weapons to the elite classes. Most of the high level characters don't want you sell you anything that doesn't come off the ground! So I have never had magic find abilities on my characters and have never found or bought one of those eye of jordan stones that Battlenet players always want in change of elite armor / weapons. A guy like me can go bankrupted, but Diablo 2 is just that, trading the best deal for something someone else needs. I have some characters up there in the level 80 range. It's not that difficult to achieve after a week of online play. I stopped playing Diablo 2 when I owned a PS2. Okay so I played more then Diablo 2. I have a 2.1 Ghz Athlon to play games on. Hardware requirements aren't an issue except for the modem aspect.
So I got a PS2, what did I buy for it. Well, honestly, I have nothing to do yet so I don't do anything except play console games. I want to go to the mall. I want to buy stuff I need. I want to go to movies, and play pool (billards.) I want to some day jack up the car's sound system so you can hear it a mile away. But all my friends are working or going to school. I'm into platform games so what drived me to the PS2 was that it got all the ports of anything you ever want to play. Jak and Dexter is a good game. I'm still completing the game. Jak is a mute character, while Dexter is talking away. Do you remember Gex Enter the Gecko for the N64? Gex, unfortunally was a aweful game, but it had one thing that if used properly, could of been something great. So I like the worlds in Jak. It had good graphics at the time. PS2 is getting dated know though. But it manages to have the best controller of any console. Want to talk about Final Fantasy, Diablo 2 or games in general, tag me, im me or email me. I'll get back to yeah.
My weekend was all and all pretty lazy. Not that I'm unemployed, not that at all. I'm on Thankgiving Break so being lazy is a must for anyone with 168 (24 hrs x 7days) hours on hand of nothing to do. What do you do? I stay up all night until 4am, sleep in until 10:30.
I recently owned PS2 the game of the month, Final Fantasy X-2. I am currently 1.5 hours in the game. I say Game of the Month because I know there are always better games out for the system. In fact I know the absolutely must haves. Square always trills me with their new releases except for "The Bouncer" and "Kingdom Hearts." Nothing against Square Enix, but Disney combined with Final Fantasy would be a little young for me. Monster's Inc is probably the only exception. Although I actually thought of buying Kingdom Hearts, because it was made by Squaresoft and now only cost 20 dollars. Last month I owned Final Fantasy XI for the PC never being able to play it. I was hoping that it would be yet another online adventure, but my parents won't allow me to own a credit card when I'm not earning cash to back it up. All I want to do is buy things off Amazon.com, Tigerdirect and pay for Final Fantasy XI. All of these need electronic money to function.
