Update on Aquinas Hub's job offer 14:30 PST by Despot
Another verbatim post from Aquinas Hub: Some people had questions about what content writing would involve. Look around the site to get an idea, but it's mostly DXMP map reviews and articles. Being experienced with DXMP helps. In case you missed it, the post is referring to this news.

Deus Ex Playstation 2 Press Release 20:11 PST by Despot
Console DX news...note that the '2' follows 'Playstation' not 'Deus Ex' so this is for Deus Ex 1. No worries. Now, the actual News: a Deus Ex PS2 Press Release has been released by Eidos, the first paragraph gives the gist of the article: San Francisco, CA - (May 17, 2001) - Eidos Interactive, a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced that multi-award winning first person action adventure title Deus Ex is currently in development for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.

Gibcity6! 20:57 PST by Wadmaasi
Wayne sent me an e-mail earlier in the day letting me know that Gibcity6 has been released. The official description is "a Gothic Daikatana Deathtag level with custom textures." Sweemy. (Preview screenies here.)
DK art 20:53 PST by Wadmaasi
OK, time for Round Two. So far it's Stinky Papa winning by points, as he's already sent his opponent to the mat once. While Stinky was waiting for the wuss to stand back up, he perused some Daikatana art like the connoisseur he is.
(Wadmaasi, I AM reading this site you know. Don't make me hurt you. -Gwog)
Helping Mods Editorial 20:27 PST by Despot
The beautiful and talented Gwog (no wait, that sounds wrong...) has put together a Helping Mods article or "joining a mod even if you're a no-talent slap," to quote the Author. Verbage aside, he presents some excellent Ideas for how to get involved in modifying Deus Ex, even if you lack the conventional skills.
Aye! No link! Brains be gone...anyway, you can check out the feature here.

DKMP and Gibcity6 23:53 PST by Wadmaasi
The first in a run of new in-house content for you guys, courtesy of Stinky Papa, is a Daikatana Multiplayer page. The page offers a server-op FAQ, information about DK's MP gametypes, and a blatantly-plagiarized (by yours truly!) from PlanetDeusEx how-to guide for GameSpy Arcade. I even added it to the new menu there on the left-hand side of your screen, under Daikatana PC | Multiplayer. (Ain't I l22t?)
Continuing the multiplayer theme, Wayne choked my poor 56k inbox with some new shots of Gibcity6...and once I saw 'em, I was more than glad to've been spammed. (= (J/K Wayne, I love getting screenies!) Since there are six of them, I thumbnailed 'em on a page real quick-like. Aren't I just all about convenience? (Agree with me, damn it!)
What's the rest of the new content, I hear you asking? (I'm a telepath.) Well...you'll just have to come back tomorrow, and Monday, and probably Tuesday as well to find out. *neener*neener* Make sure you read Thursday's news about the Heretic2 map conversion!
Update on fan mission contest judging 16:48 PST by Gwog
Just got word from Moco over at ION Austin that they are still trying to recover from E3, and getting ready for the long holiday weekend here in the US. So ION will be starting in again next week on reviewing the fan missions for the contest. Anticipation, antici pay ay shun!
Dr. Foxy Article @ 3DAP 12:24 PST by Wadmaasi
Dr. Foxy wrote an article on hype that got post0red at 3D Action Planet. He does a wee bit o' comparin' n' contrastin' o' Daikatana and Black & White.
#PlanetDeus attacked by alien force! 9:20 PST by Ghandaiah
Last night, at 10:34, it was a calm, quiet evening in the grassy realm of #planetdeus. But... the peace did not last long, no indeed... #planetdeus was suddenly attacked by an unknown alien fleet!
The first ship descended from the sky like a ball of flame and plopped flatly into the room, terrifying the living shiznat out of all two people there to witness it. The vessel hissed, contraptions moaned, and a door lowered, revealing what seemed to be none other than the alien commander himself.
But was the invasion really worth it?
"It was a gyp," comments one alien. "We got there, and there was nobody. Nothing to kill or destroy. Just one guy who kept offering us cheese and something called 'ChanServ'. It was so lame."
ChanServ, being the only other witness of this event besides myself, comments: "ChanServ sets mode: -o AlienInvaders."
So, confused and discomforted, the aliens quickly packed up and left the room once again attended by a shaken and lonely two. Will there ever be an alien invasion again? Will they try to invade Planet Deus Ex itself? Or has my sheer insanity chased them from this planet completely? The world may never know.
*** So what am I trying to say by all this? #planetdeus is empty on a regular basis! C'mon, people, it's a fun room, if you don't mind parties without beer, girls, or music. Connect to irc.gamespy.net (OR irc.gamesnet.net) and hop on in. It's really not that bad! Honest! ***
