...first, a special thanks the Commander Jared "Yes, that's my real name" Hefty and his crew for pulling together the überest of dev kits.

As reported on Ritualistic, the GDK contains UberRadiant, 3D Studio MAX plug-ins and exporters, two single player and one CTF map files, one example model and skin, extensive documentation, and several other useful tools.

You can find all the mirrors on Ritualistic (the überest of websites, of course;).

One contest is for level designers, and the other is for texture artists.

You couldn't ask for better mod tools (the GDK) nor a better opportunity to show off your modding madness. 

Head over to Ritualistic, once again, for the details and links.

The basics are on the Ritualistic forums.

Thanks to you, too, Eddy, ...Pom Pom's is a very nice place.  For those that didn't make it last night, or can't remember, ...it is like a combination of Hooter's and a classy strip club.

I don't have many pictures, ...well, I do, but most are dark and blurry.

Notice the decal?  ...and the blackened windows?  No shit, just took this picture yesterday while catching a smoke out front.

...it's the lovely-yet-dangerous Dianne from Angel Events.  She and her crew are at Pom Pom's checking the place out.  This was her report...

..."this place is awesome, you gotta come down!  They just finished the first round of wrestling.  The girls were going at it like two wet cats in a bag.  Fists flying, windmill assaults, ...boob poundings!

We have to admire the dedication of Dianne and her Angels!

Happy Birthday Ritual!

I can not believe it's been seven years!

Today is Ritual's 7th Birthday.  I have a special cigar I've been saving, amongst other things, and tonight I see myself sitting quietly on my back patio soaking up the incredibly cool weather we've been having for a few days and reminiscing.  What a great day!

It's funny how time is measured.  These seven years truly seem like seventy years in many ways, and they also seem like only seventy days in other ways.  It's been good, it's been bad, ...it has always been intense ;)

Me and my clown pal are having another L5 Party this Thursday night.  It's called a "bikini sports bar", ...we know it as the cool place with mud wrestling, oil wrestling, and alot of 6-second flashes.

...I think this picture of Vince Desi and the Levelord explains the situation well, ...we had a great time!

Thanks to everyone for coming, and of course, staying.

Special thanks to Dianne Vaughn of Angel Events.  Her crew has organized the last few L5 Parties and they have always done a great job!

ANGEL EVENTS - Total Event Direction!

Related, is it just me that can smell tequila exuding from my skin the next day?  I mean, 24 hours later, a nice long shower and all that, but you can still smell that agave smell the next day.  Whiskey (scotch and rye, too) have the same effect.  One word, ...vodka!
