Part one of a series of ventrilo throwbacks. A collection of memorable moments captured forever in poor digital recordings. These are almost entirely inside jokes, but may have some insightful value to others.

You can’t stop the music…

The theme for this edition is… Music! Enjoy.

Pangya is perhaps the greatest golf MMOG ever.

That could be because:

• It is the only golf MMO. or more likely because…
• It is very fun.

I’m currently playing on the EU servers under the guise Mikuso. Why not pester me for a game sometime?

Hello Flamescape Cultists.

I have a nice and shiny new OpenTTD dedicated server. The server address is simply: flamescape.com

Here is a copy of the OpenTTD distro + addons which we play by: Download OpenTTD TiPP FSC (.zip 13.8mb)

• When noone is playing, the server will pause. (should make the games last longer)
• The games currently last 200 years, starting in 1950.
• After 200 years, the game will automatically restart itself and begin a new one.

You might also notice that there are live game statistics shown at the top of the page.

Any questions?

I can’t believe 2008 is over already.

I’ve been playing WoW a lot recently — so much so that I’ve neglected ALL other games.

So my apologies go out to: Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, Prince of Persia, GTA4 (PC version), Call of Duty: World at War and Left 4 Dead. I am sorry for not playing you yet - you are on my to-do list.

Anyway, back on to WoW — It really is a lot of fun. Among other things, I have just bought my TTM and I’m now saving for a CWH and a sweet hog.

So thank you WoW for such a great year. I hope the next one is just as fun. I leave you with this picture of my one minute at the top, when I achieved Realm First! Grand Master Angler

Hello friends.

Here’s something new and exciting (for British people only) which I have developed. The FilmFour Movie Database. It combines the nature of TV listings with the data from IMDB to create a powerful search tool.

It is currently hosted on my home machine, so it will be offline at night.

You can try it out now at ff.flamescape.com or READ ON for more details.

Looking back at the recent OpenTTD related goings on, I thought I should post some post-mortems on our empires.

It’s all here - from terraformed graffiti, retarded rail networks, huge cities and the effects of global warming.

To begin, let’s have a look at the four-player game of Miku, John + Adam (Finningbury Transport) and Mark (Mark Transport).

Was playing OpenTTD with Alsamus yesterday. I’ve got a small craving for it now.

Want to join in the Chris Sawyer-based funtimes? Here’s a shopping list and some instructions:

1. Install Transport Tycoon Deluxe
2. Install OpenTTD 0.5.3
3. Extract FSC GRF Patch to your OpenTTD directory.
4. Install Hamachi, connect to the following network:
   • network: flamescapecult
   • password: fsc

Ok good. When you’re ready, seek me out and we’ll set up a game.

Trying to connect to vent right now? No cigar? Confused much?

If you’re still running the ancient 2.3 version of ventrilo, it’s time to update. The server is running version 3 now, so go get it!

All of you who still play steam games should join up to our steam community. I’ve sent out a lot of invites already but many of you haven’t responded yet. So those of you who haven’t logged into steam for a few weeks (Johnny, JK, Wes), get your asses in gear and join up already. If I didn’t send you an invite and you expected one, get in touch.

I’m done with redesigning this site for now.

It’s taken a nice shapely blog form. Magic? No, it’s PHP. It’s not even my PHP. This is a premade blogging script which I disguised to look like a proper website. This isn’t even a proper post; I mean, I have nothing useful or informative to say. Bye.
