• In Memory of Seumas McNally

  I just uploaded a little text in memory of Seumas McNally, the independent game developer that recently died of Hodgkins Lymphoma. It's called "A bright light has been extinguished far too soon", and I invite everybody to read it, because Seumas was a great person!

• Alive and kickin'!

  We're here! First of all, to Enlighten your Asses, here's a quote from my post on the old news page:

  It is with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat I'm writing this post; because this isn't a normal one. Not one of all the posts about mod releases, patches, drivers, whatever (and it has become a lot of them up with the years ;-)
  
  However, I feel that this is the right decition to do. Do what? I'll tell 'ya:
  
  In a few hours, the current site will be taken down - and be replaced by the new Cosmo3D. So you might ask - isn't the site good as it is? Well, the answer might be yes, but we all feel that we need a makeover, and we hope this will be a positive somehow.
  
  The news section we are having now will be taken down. We apologise for all our frequent news readers for that, but there are a number of reasons for why the choise fell on that decition. After two years and 16 days of gaming news coverage, we have grown to be a decent site with 20-30 updates every day. Though we have a news crew that consists of four guys, I have to say that I have to take most of the cake myself, with 97% of the news posts... Anyways, with more time spent on school, etc, etc - it's a change we'll enjoy.
  
  But sure, I luv' the crew. But most of all I luv' you visitors!
  
  So what's new then, good ole' bud. Well, the big news isn't a new design. But the last weeks I have worked hard on scriping in Perl/ASP and stuff, and now I'm proud to launch the Cosmo3D Headline Tracker. Basically, you'll see the most recent headlines from the big gaming sites around. You can select from 6 categories, and 37 various sites dedicated to a specific subject.
  
  Just choose your colors, image loading speeds, in addition to your favorite sites (except for us, of course =) and off to go!
  
  We'll then have a lot of time left. What to do then? Well, what do you want? We can spend the time on reviews, interviews, or maybe improving the link database. Mail me and express your feelings.
  
  So. Enought of the crap. I just want to say that it has been a nice and indeed instructive era of gaming news reporter at Cosmo3D. Now - we hope we'll stay as your preferred gaming portal.

  Well, there are a lot of articles and small editorials coming your way, just give us a few days to fix and tweak the new page! WELCOME!
