The Real Matespin
Dec 27th
I thought that in the spirit of Christmas Eve’s post, I should post this video which I couldn’t stop laughing at. I use the spelling Matespin to stop filters blocking this site.
You Spin Meet Round (Like In Matespin)
Dec 24th
Yes, that is the “special project” of the day. Unfortunetly, for privacy reasons I will only be posting the link on Facebook. Have a good day.
Technically I could post the audio however it is atrocious. Instead, enjoy the weird original clip to the soundtrack. While I am here, hello to Bingles who I hear reads this.
A special post coming up tomorrow…
Dec 23rd
Had no time to make a post today… however I will let you in on a secret – that there will be a suprise tomorrow. It’s a YTMND, if I say any more I will give it away.
It’s a new spin on an old and well known website.
Get Ready for OBS
Dec 22nd
Well, close enough. Since I can’t think of anything else to write about at the moment, I thought I’d tell you about the current project I am working on. The OBS is an online booking system custom made for Scott’s DFKBK based on the DigitalBookings engine, however that has also been radically overhauled in the process. Currently it is in an early stage, however once ready I will post it here for you all to see.
In other news, Channel Nine screwed up with dead air for a few seconds last night. Again. I think the station could be run better by the ghost of Kerry Packer. What is that again?
Fail of the Week: ReeMap
Nov 15th
Yes, this week I was able to give myself the title of “Fail of the Week”, only due to the fact I planned to show the “completed work” here instead and miss fail of the week until a few days later. Instead, the fact the maps aren’t completed make the “Fail of the Week” today. I think there are about 20 good, half-finished maps on my computer here, all of which I have made but given up on half way through due to the time and detail required to finish them. In no particular order, the following are the “unfinished” maps.
Some elements of the attached image may be copyright of Valve.
- The two “Haddaway” jails (named after the singer of What is Love for no particular reason)
- The new “T” jail (considering I never finished Haddaway, I can’t see how I thought I’d complete something else with so much more detail – maybe in the summer with all the other projects…)
- The “Pool Map”
- The “Disco” Map
- The “Office” Map
- The “Twin Towers” Map (although this is a mammoth task due to sheer size… and it’s not meant to be disrespectful, its just a set of twin towers, no reference is intended – it was merely designed to test some ideas)
- The “Escape” Map
- The “Hitler” Map (convientely swastika-shaped)
- The “Crap Map Rooms”
- The “Christmas” Map
And the list could go on, but you get the idea. There’s a sample of a couple of maps at the side, being Haddaway and the Pool. Even if I do finish the “T” jail, it will be in limited distribution due to low quality and large file size. While I’m here and on the topic of games, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the latest game in the Call of Duty series, was recently released. If I had bought it myself, I would review it, but since I havent got it – should I get it? What do you think of it?
A Quarter-finished map
Nov 12th
In the spirit of yesterday’s post, I decided to start making a new jail map, in the hope of having it finished for today’s post. However, I soon realised my plans were too ambitious considering the level of detail I wished to create. The “Haddaway” map which I have made will be used to make things a bit quicker.
In the meantime, I leave you with a screenshot showing the small portion that has been completed. I’m still way, way, way away from finishing – there is still a huge amount left to create, detail, light and script.
It looks like it will take another two or three days before a “good enough” version is complete and ready-to-play, and a few more days to iron out the minute bugs.

Jailbreak, my way.
Nov 11th
In case you don’t know, Jailbreak is a custom game mode developed by the community for Counter Strike: Source. Sure, you could play it like it is intended, but doing otherwise is a lot more entertaining, which is why I bring you “10 Ways to Improve Jailbreak”, which usually do not require help from others. Since T’s are the group who is disadvantaged, most of these tips are designed to find creative ways to grief CT’s.
Some elements of the attached image may be copyright of Valve.
- Find an ally on T’s, then switch teams and give them guns. Then get them to kill all the other CT’s bar yourself, which will annoy them along with the fact they will have to wait for respawn. You can always kamikaze yourself just to let the terrorists win, another way to annoy them.
- This is more of a short-term tactic due to the fact it is quite noticable. Whenever a CT tries to make an order, spam loud noise on your mic. That way, nothing will be heard by anyone.
- Ensure you know where the “vent cell” is in each map. Any good jailbreak map will have a “vent cell” where the wall can be broken (with your knife, but guns work too) which has a passage which usually leads to gun room or somewhere near gun room. I think you can work out the rest – make sure you do this as soon as the cells open before the CT’s know what is up!
- Hiding in cells – this method also works similar to the above – just make sure you do it well and when you make a run for gun room, that the coast is clear (or that the CT’s at least aren’t looking). More >
The first iPhone Virus…
Nov 10th
Be on the lookout for the iPhone virus (especially those who are viewing from an iPhone) if your iPhone has been jailbroken. The thing is, however, it won’t do much damage, because as this article says, there is only one effect: this becomes your background.
Luckily for me, my background is already quite similar.
