Jo Party Exclusive
Ladies & Gentlemen, Summer Time is here! Many things have changed. People leaving, and People moving on to better things and better places. It is about that time again for another gathering. I have decided to change the usual meeting place to change accordingly to people's lifestyle changes. Yes, it is still in Palo Alto (I doubt that will ever change), but this I am sure you will agree, it's called "CIRCADIA" a two-story bar, and Café (Due to the fact that it is owned by Starbucks), and yes there is no age discrimination in this place. So here is the itinerary for the evening: DATE: The 15th of JULY TIME & PLACE: 7:30 PM @ CIRCADIA: 518 Bryant Street, Palo Alto, Ca, 94306 PH# 650-327-8954 (Note: The restaurant/Cafe is located right behind City Bank on Ramon Avenue (Nearest Restaurant is Nola's). TIME & PLACE: 9:30 PM @ Buca di Beppo - 643 Emerson Ave. Palo Alto, CA 94301 (650) 329-0665 Thank you, JO.

Do you own a Geforce?
A new update of the Geforce Tweak Utility is out, it's now version Beta 5.2.2 This nifty program works with the NVIDIA detonator 5.xx drivers only. the Geforce Tweak Utility allows you to make a lot of modifications to the registry settings of your Geforce. All registry mods work. The only thing that doesn't work at this time is changing the core/mem clocks. That's why you can't change these clock settings and the util still is beta. If you can help the author with this problem then e-mail him. New in this version · Added option to download Detonator drivers ver. 5.30 · Link added towards the authors page. http://guru3d.com/geforcetweakutility/

Farewell then, SNK of America. from fgnonline.com
The Neo Geo Pocket Color is disappearing from shelves as we speak, but it's not as bad as it could be. The arcade arm remains intact, and we'll still get Capcom vs SNK... Apple Systems is the exclusive distributor of SNK's arcade systems in America, an arrangement which, according to GameFan, will be unaffected by SNK's U.S. pullout. "We've heard nothing that would affect us, and it wouldn't be common sense nor prudent business logic to halt any of our very successful arcade games," Tim Jackson, Director of Sales for Apple Systems told GameFan. Jackson also anticipates that half a dozen more titles will be released on the long-lived Neo Geo arcade hardware by the beginning of 2001. In addition you'll definitely be seeing Capcom vs SNK, as Capcom will be bringing that DC nugget to stores. Whether the publisher will also pick up licences for games such as Cool Cool Toon and King of Fighters, as some sites are hinting it will, is yet to be confirmed.

The Last of the Famous International Playboys
thegamelord.com is proud to announce the departure of Peter Clark from SCEA production. He is one of the last of the original AP's hired over 4 years ago in the beginning of SISA which turned into 989 Studios which turned itself back into SCEA. In his reign at Sony, he produced such titles as Medievil 2, Wild Arms 2, Speed Punks, Hot Shots Golf! 2, Tomba! 2, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? for PlayStation. Peter Clark is one of the only true friends of The Game Lord and is much respected by this website. Last Friday, Peter Clark, known to his friends as "Swee' PT" gave his 2 weeks notice. Although we believe he undersold himself and was worth at least a VP position, he has decided to leave SCEA to become Director of Production at Secret Level, Inc. Ami Blaire, Darren Yager, Misa Usui and Taku were not available for comment but we wish him the best of luck in the future and hopes that he stays in contact with us.

This is a spacious house in the Mission Elajo area and drop by unexpected because he likes that.

Ryan Eames turns AP
Why he wants to be in accounts payable is beyond me. In his closing statement to QA. He writes:
For those who are/were in the department: I guess all good things must come to an end, right? Well, here it is, my last day in the 3rd Party QA department. No, as the rumors might have said, I am not leaving the company, just the department. I thank everyone for their support and friendship, it certainly helped through these passed...wow, three years in August...I couldn't have made it without you. Additionally, thanks to Mark and Frank for hiring me without any prior testing experience! If it weren't for you guys I would most likely still be working at Intel as an Engineer or some other boring position! Also, good luck with the DVD project and thank you for letting me be a part of it! God speed, my friends! In short, thanks to everyone for making this department an enjoyable work place. I will still (when/if I have the time) come down for some Alpha 3 :) For everyone: Seeing as it is Friday...this one is for you Diamonon...how about Scores after work? Tell the temps around you (that I've worked with) and anyone who might have been left off this list, please ;) Thank you, emphatically! Ryan Eames

The Answer
I have not and never will post to the Fatbabies Forum. We are not affiliated in any way, shape or form. I am not going to war with Fatbabies no matter what happens. Fatbabies says that any post that doesn't have the "Fat..." is not them, so whoever it is, you can stop now.

This Website is Weak against the Power
Well, they were right about having a surprise for me. I can count out all of my closer friends because they couldn't get my phone # right. But since everyone has my address, I'm having a barbeque/poker game next weekend! Jesse Caceres has already promised to show up and I, for one, and hoping that this soon-to-be-Legend in the games field will bring his "danger" girl. I will see you next week! We are also hoping to get Cornfish.com to make a showing, so if you want to be famous, cornfish.com can make you famous. Full guest list to be announced later on this week. So stay tuned!

Side Note
Only one of the fatbabies knows Tom Tobey, so at least I know which one has posted the message.

After further revue, I realized today that I am fighting against much bigger guns than I can ever have. It's not going to do me any good to release the names, so I'm hoping that this message is a truce.

Well, Let's see who's watching
Apparently Sony sent Amy Kingma, a Nelson rep who hires temps for Sony, to E3. She got to attend the Sony party, and Sony had hired temps down in LA to work E3. Nobody from 1st party was even asked to work the show, and working the show was a requirement to go to the party if you were from 1st party. lame eh? But Amy Kingma, who technically isn't even a Sony employee went to both. Thanks again, Sony. Charles DeLay will be leaving at the end of the month. He works for some company in the IT department, and will be quitting here at the end of May. Other rumors include Chris Caprio trying to convince Sony to allow him to run the show here like Mark Pentek once did. Another is that Tim Duzmal may become the next Manager. Actually, Conner or Tim may be next. Let's hope for the best.

Arne Cual goes Super Sonic
Metal Gear Solid 2 was probably the most talked about at the show, but one of the behind the scenes stories not posted anywhere is the story about Sonic and Arne Cual. As many people know, Arne was one of the reps responsible for showing and demostrating Dreamcast games to the press. One of her other duties was to walk the show floor and Arne was seen with the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog. Many eyewitnesses talk of the couple's stroll. Alben, Arne's "current" boyfriend, was quoted as saying, "I'm not threatened by him. I'm more MAN than he is. Anyway, it's all about gameplay." No one understood what Alben meant but knew that his Claims were usually un-met. thegamelord.com was lucky to get Arne's comments, "Sonic or Big Blue as the girls call him is a little too fast for me, even faster than Alben." More information as it becomes available.

Sony E3 Party Pass
Among the many priority things to do at the E3, one remains high on the list. "Getting a Sony E3 Party Pass." This is the toughest things to get and it's nearly possible to imagine what people will do to get them. Ebay recently had a Sony Party Pass for sale at $2750 by Guy of SCEA. However, a couple of young men find a way to get this pass from Mr. Jay Beard. Cupid is amazingly photographed next to Jay. Julius actually didn't know he was getting anything but what he really wanted when photo'd. (click for larger image)
