Wind is really annoying… Unless you’re extremely unobservant, I’m sure you will have noticed this by now. It messes with you’re hair, blows rain in your face, and turns your boat over… not good.

This is a tribute to the founding brothers that maintain the inner workings of 2dP. How blasphemous of me, but hey the big guy upstairs doesn't mind, cause he told me so. Anyhow, I am quite proud to be a contributing member to this visual melee. We surely have more that met our quota of disturbed members. I give these brothers credit for the working functions of the site. There seems to be something for all wackos here at all levels.

As people that I known personally for quite sometime, these guys are golden in my eyes. They have been sufficiently patient through all my broken deadlines and scrapped projects. In fact the stress has gotten to me recently and I even tried to quit 2dP, but these guys stuck it through with me in light of all my personal difficulties. I also thank Mr. Chris and MR.2 for sparing my life and not having me executed like the rest, thank you sirs. I'll wax your cars and have sex with your fat daughters again anytime.

So in closing the least I can do is honor their fine site, and of course celebrate the upkeep and propriety of 2dP. I thank all members for their contributions.

They say its sanitary… sanitary MY ARSE!!

We don't consider it gross that guys don't shave their legs or armpits! "That's because 99% of the guys don't", you say. Well, if 99% of the population didn't wipe, it might not be considered that gross either. Think about it. This multi-billion dollar industry (toilet paper) has presented such an important roll in our lives; it would be devastating if it were suddenly withdrawn. You say, "Why would it be withdrawn? That’s ridiculous." We'll, if you only knew what the union of so-called competitors in the toilet paper industry know, you wouldn't think that was so ridiculous. The nation dumps over four hundred million dollars in military surpluses. "Where do all these weapons go?” you ask. Well, I'll tell you. They go into the hands of a huge militia formed by a union of toilet paper manufacturers.

They make them double quilted, so your bottom will feel extra soft after you take a crap, right?
Wrong. They make it so that, on that not-so-far off date, when they totally withdraw all sources of toilet paper, they will have the world at its knees, wearing dirty underwear, and they will take over ruthlessly and completely.

All I can say, my friend, is stock up, and learn to use sparingly.

It Took 4 Years to Realize UO Was The #1 MMORPG
02.17.02 - Submitted by "NandP"

When Ultima Online's Blackthorn's Revenge was released on the 13th I was reluctant to purchase this game. Being one of the first to play when it was initially released in 96 was a exciting time for me. A world where thousands of individuals from around the world interacted with one another. Some good some bad. Small towns and villages springing up through out the countryside. Rampant killing machine groups hunting down anything that breathed. Oh how it has changed in the years. A year ago if you would have asked me if I would ever play UO again I would probably spit in your face. With the release of BTR I thought I'd give it another go.

2dP's Winter Tour at the Secret Citadel of Death and Petrifaction
02.11.02 - Submitted by "NandP" on 02.05.02 ~ Image submitted by "Shoot"
In the past month the caretakers of 2dP's Secret Citadel of Death and Petrifaction asked if they could open up the place for tours. A decision like this one comes with a heavy price. The most obvious would be that it wouldn't be a secret any longer. We held palaver with Mr2 discussing ways to open the citadel for tours and to keep the place a secret from the general public. The meeting was refreshing since we never discuss things person to person on subjects of importance. The meeting took over 24 hours until a agreement was finally laid out on the table.

 - The 2dP Monthly Report - (JAN)
 02.02.02 - Constructed by "NandP" on 02.02.02

reminds me of the 90's stock market

I guess I'm in charge of giving the 2dP monthly reports so this will be new and very basic. In this report I will let you know by graphics and presentation how 2dP is doing in the world of mass Internet hysteria.

You might be asking yourself why we are reporting how the site is doing. Well, no real reason but to let you know we appreciate your audience. If it wasn't for the rise in popularity 2dP would probably get dropped by Mr.2.

Who's Mr.2? Mr.2 has taken Mr. Chris's spot as lead head boncha. Under the leadership of Mr.2, 2dP could possibly be taken to great heights down the hellfire hallmark highway of melted fleshpot, the Internet. The above chart with the two monkeys show a steep increase during the month of January.        Wish that was my bank graphic.

To the right is a beautiful color bar chart showing 2dP's increase over 5 months. Notice the green long slender green bar for January. The light blue color bar displays the amount of pages 2dP currently has up and running. We hope to increase the amount of pages available in the future, but not enough that you get lost within the realm of the hell crackle crap trap 2dP.

The orange, yellow, red bars mean something, but I only care about the green bar, so we wont go there.

The blue bar displays the amount of files we have available. Since we added the [reg] counter strike maps this would probably explain the increase. Plus the frequent traffic to the forums. Wet T Shirts?

 "WWII? Sure, but why use 1940's technology to make it."

even Mango the Kat agrees it belongs here

Are you looking for a game that is going to make your eyes water from amazing graphics? A game that will have your blood pumping from excitement around every corner?   I was looking for just that.

Since its release I've yet to hear one good thing about ww2, besides being nazi's for the Hitler fascination generation of today's youth and payback from the Jewish community. The date is 01.25.02 and I decide to roll my quality product dice on this particular game to see how good the 1940's can look and play in the year of 3d.

My first clue to greatness was the rat running up the street dodging gun fire, then changing into their logo.

- While we did do some work on the troop collider, we were not able to get it all done in time to release 152. There are still some instances where our collider fails and walls can be “seen” through as well as other anomalies. The enhancements we didn’t quite get done will probably follow shortly. The rub is that we are simultaneously re-writing the collider altogether, and while fixing the one we have is critical for game play until the new one is ready, it’s painful to work on this one instead of the new collider. The new system will allow jumping, climbing, and a lot more. -

The above paragraph was taken from a post on the ww2 forums. Read the post very carefully.

something strange going on in the patch process

My disgust begins at the way I have to log in via website making it seem cheap and generic. Then we move onto the fantastic menu map selection area where you pick your alliance. Let me remind you the art work here is not exactly 01/02 quality. I'll surprise you even further by telling you it gets far worse then this.

Let me run off a few problems I encountered. Patch time, paygate, error. Leading me to download 107mb the full install. Load screens gave me time to catch up on cleaning my rifle with a factory made toe trigger. As you can tell I have yet to reach a satisfying gaming experience, oh shit, I haven't reached that peak in quite some years as a matter of fact.

Lets sneak on over to the graphics of ww2online shall we. Comparing it to doom would be a little strong, but it could be a blender mix of doom and current 3d games. Pretty messy. Sometimes I wonder if Romero had anything to do with this game. Some of the features remind me of his work. So if you enjoy shitass load screens, bad character models, textures from duke nukem 3d, sounds made in the basement with a fisher price tape recorder, and a high boredom factor. Grab it. It's yours. 2103 players can be wrong.
