          - Yow, Been Busy - 1:00 AM Central</b></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Phew!</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">What a scene, man...there's 
          lots of people here...got to spend some time with Charles "BedMan" Bedfor, 
          author of our article on LAN Parties...and a total screwball. :)</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Now that there's lots of 
          people here, there seems to be someone playing just about every game 
          in existence...had the pleasure of getting my ass wooped by Polish, 
          who considering that he's running this show, is looking well.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"[The] first match is underway, 
          and everything that can go wrong, did go wrong"<br>
          - Idoru, Telefragged man, nice guy, and organizer of the impromptu CTF 
          tournament.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"I love my malifluous influence"<br>
          - Stephen "Blue" Heaslip responding to comments about the presence of 
          Bawls, the dangerously caffinated beverage.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This whole event feels much 

          more fan-oriented than the CPL event last August...the hotel setting 
          definitely helps, as this truly is a 24 hour thing. Dig: I've seen a 
          couple of guys disappear for a few hours of sleep and come back holding 
          a bottle of Bawls, ready for another day's worth of killing.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"The scrotally textured bottle"<br>
          - Blue referring to the strange packaging of Bawls, the unethically 
          caffinated beverage.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Rix (one of the pro-gamers 
          in the room) has sat down across from me, and is currently unpacking 
          his gear. He's got his own keyboard, which is just a plain old keyboard...but 
          hey, whatever works for him, I suppose. The really nutty thing here, 
          is that he's got this custom mouse thing going.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Turns out that he really 
          digs the coating on this one serial mouse (it's stylin', but more importantly 
          it grips the hand well) bt with the PS/2 fix out to beef up the sampling 
          rate in Windows (apparently it won't work on serial mice) he decided 
          he needed a PS/2 mouse. So he actually spliced together the PS/2 connection 
          to the serial mouse. </font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Now that's a hardcore gamer...gotta 
          respect that.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just a quick note to end 
          this entry: it's just so damn cool to be here now that loonygames has 
          launched...the frustrating things about the CPL event, was the fact 
          that loonygames was something I wanted to keep quiet until launch (I 
          know, i'm weird...but that's what I did). So while I was totally psyched 
          about it, I couldn't tell anyone! Being here, and hearing from guys 
          that read the site on a regular basis just plain rocks. Thanks guys!</font></p>

          - Happy Halloween! - 11:40 AM Central</b></font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ugh. My continental breakfast 
          never showed up. :(</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh well...life goes on.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ran into John Cash and son 
          just now...they're all psyched for trick or treating. Or maybe that's 
          just the lil' Cash...John was psyched to catch the Formula 1 race later.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Somewhere around here is 
          that Piston from John Carmack's car...have to check that out before 

          someone actually wins it.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Today should be great...as 
          soon as I get some breakfast in me (and more importantly, coffee!) I've 
          got to hook up with Scot and Darrien (our camera man) and get some interviews 
          done. And of course, we've got John Carmack's talk at 4:00, followed 
          by Paul Steed's, and then maybe a demo of the Sin gold master.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Coffee...need coffee.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">And i've got a strange hankering 
          for some Doom 2 deathmatch...have to get that in at some point today...</font></p>
