Gamespy have posted a review of BooH and seem to like what they see. They dont say much about the Multiplayer side of the game which is a shame, but they like the SinglePlayer experience.

Check out their review here.

A new gameplay movie is available showing a second level of the “almost” released expansion pack BooH. Loony Park sees rather malevolent clowns chasing you around trying to blow you apart. A couple of the new weapons are on show with the Flamethrower toasting a set of fat clowns rather well. You also get to see the machine gun and boltgun in action.

The movie weighs in at 16.7MB and can be downloaded here. Enjoy 🙂

The signups for the Winter CPL have begun and a LOT of big names are signed up and ready for action. To name a few: Vo0, Stermy, nts`zen, SK|zyz, SK|GitzZz, C_Lains, Aim, Cha0ticz, Daler, Stelam, proZaC, Lexer and of course Fatal1ty. The competition should provide some indications of form for those who tried Painkiller previously and moved on to other games, only to return now that CPL have moved behind Painkiller.

I only hope that the CPL can manage to record demos this time…

You can catch the entire list of signups here.

Back in the day when Painkiller was new to us all, I put together three map reviews to help everyone get upto speed. The map reviews were for DM_Illuminati, DM_Mine and DM_Fragenstein. Now we seem to have picked up some more interest again (no idea why 😉 ), feel free to have a look over the reviews and make my hard work worth the effort 🙂

[PCF]Adrian made another visit to #painkiller.euro this evening and passed on the following information:
————————————-
[18:45] * [PCF]Adrian has joined #painkiller.euro
[18:46] *[PCF]Adrian* Ok, hit me…
[18:46] * mute hits adrian badly
[18:46] *[PCF]Adrian* Let me feel the pain…
[18:46] * dmnk slaps [PCF]Adrian around a bit with a large trout
[18:46] * x4-rayfood slaps [PCF]Adrian around a bit with a large trout
[18:46] *x4-rayfood* 🙂
[18:46] *dmnk* 🙂
[18:46] * TeeJay stabs [PCF]Adrian in the face
[18:46] *[PCF]Adrian* Yeah we deserve that…

[18:47] *[PCF]Adrian* Anyway, in short… I WILL NOT be giving any dates, we’ve learnt the lesson, *but* we’re finishing 1.15 in about an hour.

[18:47] *[PCF]Adrian* The only good thing about 1.1 released in PL is that we’ve squashed a couple of more bugs and improved prediction code further.
[18:48] *[PCF]Adrian* So anyway, luckily DC has a hard time finding new bugs, so we keep our fingers crossed. Once again, no date, but IMHO it’s ready.

[18:48] *W4rh0g* Adrian
[18:48] *W4rh0g* do we all need to buy 3ghz pcs to play the game?
[18:49] *W4rh0g* I dont have a 3ghz pc for the prediction code
[18:49] *[PCF]Adrian* No you don’t. Average PC in the company is 1.7 GHz Athlon.
[18:49] *W4rh0g* yeah but yaten said it will grind on a 1.8ghz
[18:49] *[PCF]Adrian* Yaten is panicking 😉
[18:49] *[PCF]Adrian* For no reason 😉

[18:50] *[PCF]Adrian* Yaten just msged me they’re doing the installer. Ok, just dropped by to give your some progress info, gtg send the patch to DC, l8r all.

[18:50] *mute* Adrian, we saw this 1.15 server and the map was “dm6” as far i can remember. what about this map?
[18:50] *[PCF]Adrian* Yeah new map is in the works, DM_Fallen, but that’s for 1.2
[18:50] *[PCF]Adrian* Cheers.
[18:50] * [PCF]Adrian has quit IRC (Read error: EOF from client)
————————————
We’ll see whether DC find any bugs in this patch release. Fingers crossed that they’ve been reduced to an acceptable level.
