Two words: Diablo Two... :)

After Playing the game for many moons now, I am quite satisfied that it will become #1 for the year 2000.

July 1, 2000 @ 7:44 AM PST

Two words: Diablo Two... :)

Wow. So far, the game is great with one exception. Lag. Battle-net seems to have been slammed via all 2 million people on Thursday and Friday. I am sure that B-Net will return to full strength after they add a few more servers to the farm.

June 22, 2000 @ 2:17 PM PST

"Dear Battle.net Stress Testers,

As we promised, we wanted to alert you that the Diablo II Battle.net stress test will be coming to a close this Monday, June 26th at 8:00 AM PT in order for us to prepare for next week's launch of Diablo II. We want to extend a sincere thanks to all the beta testers who have logged many hours helping us optimize servers during the last few weeks.

But, before we bring the test to a close, we want to push the servers to the maximum by getting as many players online in one day as possible. To that end, we are asking that all beta testers log on and play this Friday, June 23. We hope we can count on each of you to log on and take your stress test character for one more adventure through Act I.

Thank you again for all your time and effort in making our stress test successful. We hope to see you on Battle.net after the game launches.

Blizzard Entertainment"

This just in from Blizzard entertainment in my Inbox!

"Dear Battle.net Stress Testers,

We wanted to personally notify you that Diablo II has gone gold and the master CDs have been released to manufacturing. We expect the game to begin shipping to stores worldwide as early as the end of June.

Even though the game has gone gold, the stress test will continue throughout the next couple of weeks. The optimization of servers is completely independent from the game going gold, so you will continue to see network improvement up until launch. We also will be sending out access keys to European and Asian gamers shortly, so we can fully test those local servers prior to the game hitting stores as well.

We encourage you to continue playing over the next few weeks to help us test the servers as much as possible before the game ships. We will E-Mail you prior to the stress test ending.

Thank you for the hours you have committed to playing Diablo II on Battle.net. We hope that you will enjoy the game.

Blizzard Entertainment"

The wait begins now...

Two words: Diablo Two... :)

Next two words: Server Down! :(

May 12, 2000 @ 7:00 PM PST

Today there was a slight boo-boo when updating the pages. For some reason, the computers farted and none of the pretty neon showed up on the left side. The problem has been corrected.

Looking for your Gaming Pages? Head to Infinity {OXO} [link removed]. I moved the LAN Party! [link removed] information, Patches [link removed] and Cheats [link removed] to that location...as well as the Character Submit Forms [link removed] and such...Have fun!

May 11, 2000 @ 9:08 AM PST

May is the time for Creative to once again kick out some drivers for my web cam. Check out BV LIVE! here [link removed]...

Blizzard has also announced that the Diablo 2 Stress Test may start as early as next week! I do wish that I am one of the top few to be able to download a copy. More to come!

May 1, 2000 @ 8:08 AM PST

May day...may day...heheh... :)

Anyway, once again I find myself participating in a new month when I think that it should be about February. Ugh! Time is going a little two fast for me. On the other hand, Diablo 2 is one day closer to getting released! Upon Blizzards release of the game, I will be posting Diablo 2 Character Sheets as well as Info that pertains to the game...pretty much like I did with Diablo. Click HERE to go there!
For now, on May 1, 2000 thru May 7, 2000, Gamespot is hosting a signup for the Diablo 2 open beta. 100,000 people world wide will be selected to partake and I am hoping that I am one of the lucky few...

After a wonderful weekend with my parents and Sister for Easter...I return to the BV Pad for a little updating...Hope your Easter was as good as mine was.

April 6, 2000 @ 8:30 AM PST

To cut down on my Sites update time, I removed only the INACTIVE people from the SETI Rankings Page [link removed]...Want to be displayed again? Fire it up!

April 5, 2000 @ 7:30 AM PST

BV LIVE [link removed]! That's right, you can now check out my Web Cam and see me LIVE! most every evening 24/7...What a thrill!?! :) Check me out HERE [link removed]!

The Cam scene is still not as stable as I would like, but I am working on that. I have bastard drivers for it and a "shareware" program doing the capture for me. It's ok, but I am not going to pay for it! :)
Until next time...

April 2, 2000 @ 9:30 AM PST

Hello and welcome to the new April 2000. It may just look like the same ol' April of last year, but it is not! :)

Recent Updates include:

SETI Ranking [link removed]
LAN Party Photos [link removed]
Kitty Photos

I am still waiting for Win2k drivers for my Web Cam so the page can be posted, but until then, my fans are just going to have to wait.

April 1, 2000 @ 12:01 AM PST

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

March 18, 2000 @ 6:30 PM PST

Hello and welcome to the news...

Creative Labs still has not released the new drivers for Win2k for use with the Web Cam 3, but I am still waiting patiently, but not for much longer.

The Web Cam Page will be up soon. I promise.

March 12, 2000 @ 12:00 PM PST

After some extensive hair pulling. I finally figured out the problem with my modems. NOW, I am playing online with a pretty good transfer rate/ping time. Now, the rest of the story.

I have been playing NOX online for a while. WOW. What a game. It begins to get rather frightening when there is over 12 people on one map, but it is truly a great time. Well balanced. Good show Westwood.

Creative still has not kicked out their Drivers for the Web Cam 3 yet. I will post a page as soon as I can.

March 1, 2000 @ 1:00 PM PST

Is it March 1st and there will be a few changes with the site...

1) I will not be updating every 15 minutes like I have been...
2) There should be a Web Cam Page up by mid March...
3) A feedback page will be posted...
4) Plenty more "Get Paid" pages will appear...
5) More kitty/BV/LAN Party Pics will be up...

I took a week off due to the fact that there is few people that even read this dribble, but after a year, it is hard to stop now.

So I will continue, for now.

February 29, 2000 @ 12:01 AM PST
