Well fuck, maybe we should make the release date Tuesday, since second week in a row of it. But we are here, and with our brand new VCD section. We'd like to welcome Ryche to the editorial staff of NWR and we are missing the Utils report this week because Bud was sick. Prozac is back and also includes his monthly report that you can find also on his page. We want to also mention that Prozac is keeping a list of the N64 roms and emu news on his site as well at: http://ppgr.webjump.com/n64/n64-playable.htm So check that out, anyways, sorry for being late and enjoy the mag. -Lester [Co-Editor/Head Writer] Ok.. So we are still all text, but fear not, the coded mag is coming soon.. Paledeth is doing some music for us, and if anyone else out there has any VGA or ASCII art that they want to send us, that would be cool.. Bud was sick this week, as was i, thats why NWR is late. Prozac is back with both his #5 games report, and his MONTHLY report, for feb. Check that out in the nwr.zip, its the file called: PPGR0199.TXT We have 2 pics this week, none of jess, unfortunately.. The first pic is called "brain-wh.jpg", and we are VERY proud to show this cute picture of RiSC's very own Brain, who recently made a trip to the Nation's capital: the Whitehouse! Brain is the gentleman immediately to the president's right.. cute little guy, ain't he? The other pic, is called eternal1.jpg, proving once and for all, that eternal really is female, as he certainly is a whiny little bitch! We started off our new "VCD" section today... Its a little large, i guess because its the first time, so.. i'll try to cut it at least in half for next issue...

FH was the alltime favorite site of a damn lot of people, and its cool to see it back. It's AoD WHQ, and SCUM and SHOCK EHQ... (wtf is up with all this dual-grouping?) No word on games yet, but i'm sure it won't take overly long for them to come up with someone half decent... heh.. mgoh is doesn't have a games affil yet for his new site, ROOT, so if you are a member of... uhh... well.. one of the 3 or 4 games groups out there, then contact him. Hades changed IP's, so if you are having trouble connecting, that's probably why.. ;p SOD(?) became OGN USHQ. DOPE became an OGN affil, to go with their TRPS, CORP, and AoD. Da Fun House become OGN UKHQ. MFLG (My Fat Lesbian Girlfriend) became OGN FHQ. TR (the rock) became PRM HQ. MW isn't back yet, and i still don't know what its gonna be called when it does come back, but... bleh. I saw on Bacid's page that a new site called "NEC" is up, and its RZR HQ, PGC WHQ, and CORP. 100mbit, and pretty fast already, so... check that out. Some dude that i've never heard of named "airbrush" tried to nark TV/TViSO. What a dumbass.. Its been a while since we have had a narking spree, so maybe ppl are starting to fall asleep with who they add to their sites.. Wake the fuck up, people! Sorry i don't have much more news, but i'll try to come up with something a little more interesting for next week.. Thanks to the ppl who helped me with weektops... take care.. =--------------------------------------------------------------------------= Sites are rated on a 3X and 2X scale.. if you want to know why we do it that way, read an old issue. Couriers get 10 points per site they get #1 on, 9 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd, etc, etc. Sites are rated by us. If you don't like the ratings, then.... heh... fuck off and die.. =--------------------------------------------------------------------------= The Top Ten sites for this week are: x3 FS -*- STH -*- ET -*- E -*- HOE x2 VDR -*- DLS -*- DOPE -*- TV -*- IC ---=NETMONKEY COURiER REPORT=--- trader group FS STH ET E *HOE VDR DLS DOPE TV IC pts pos --------------------------------------------------------------------- toadie DMS 2 1 1 1 0 1 4 0 0 0 171 [1] cedric AoD 5 4 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 9 77 [2] garoto DEV 0 7 2 0 0 6 8 0 0 4 69 [3] morbid AoD 4 3 0 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 62 [4] wishmaster DEV 0 10 8 8 0 4 0 4 6 1 61 [4] kenzo RiSC 0 0 7 5 0 0 0 1 5 3 48 [6] dirtman TFA 0 0 5 2 0 0 0 7 0 0 45 [7] ragger EPT 0 0 0 7 0 0 9 0 3 0 44 [8] nightsky AoD 3 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 0 44 [9] dual RiSC 10 9 0 3 0 0 6 0 0 0 43 [10] * = no weektop this week. =--------------------------------=--------------------------------------= -----------[ Lester's Biased Courier Section ]----------- Lester's Biased Courier Report Ahh, back in action again. Dimension: DMS showed signs of the old life again this week with Toadie dominating most of the big sites, redman and some others were there in support. They also picked up NGZ as a site and Garflozzy as a lazy retired guy. So DMS pulls down a view #1's and more #2's and #3's on the group weeks this week. Devotion: Dev was out and about, with Jaydee owning FS on pre's and the other boys runnin around picking up megs. They took #1 on most of their sites which is the most important, and were'nt far behind on other sites. AOD: They continue to do well, not the dominance of last week, but still a solid performance. In the thick of 1-3 on all sites that matter. And they pulled #1 on DOPE by a couple megs, which as far as I know is their only site. hehe Risc: Awhile ago I had talked to eagle1 and he told me risc was leaving the PC area and going ISO, and it seems to be true as the pc side is fucking stagnant, despite whatever Eternal wants to say, and he has plenty to say. Well, since we are late I can comment on some late breaking news with these great boys. The picked up Cablegod, HFB, Lethal(uh been there done that?), Bigrar(nice name slick), Mackan(ya we have heard of you), Pozzo(Hrm, same # of letters as Bizzy, 2 Z's, fuck why not!), Rase(sounds like Mase, and he's a pimp, aint nuthin changed but my limp). So, Risc is truly to be fucking feared now. Esprit: Now i'm sure you are saying, why would he leave out VGN/MNM and shit and still do Esprit? Well I'm sure Esprit is thinking, well because we fucking own right?! WRONG! I'm doing this to make fun of you, just like I always do when I include a small group. Why you ask? Let's goto the tape! [TSG] -0127- (insanity/EQUALiTY) LOTUS_DOMINO_AND_NOTES_4.6.3A-LND [TSG] -0127- (cabeca/ESPRiT) LOTUS_DOMINO_AND_NOTES_4.6.3A-cd [TSG] -0127- (ragger/ESPRiT) LOTUS_DOMINO_AND_NOTES_4.6.3A-LCD [Hall of Illusions] -New Util- (B_REAL/DMS) Visual.Mail.Interface.Client. and.Server.Suite.v1.0-SHOCK [Hall of Illusions] -New Util- (pistols/EPT) Visual.Mail.Interface.Client. and.Server.Suite.v1.0-CD [Hall of Illusions] -New Util- (toadie/DMS) Flow.Charting.PDQ.v1.1x.Network. Version.FULL-LG [Hall of Illusions] -New Util- (pistols/EPT) Flow.Charting.PDQ.v1.1x.Network. Version.FULL-CD Ok, just three examples of many. If you plan to have all of your couriers use mass macros and god knows what else, at the very least make sure they fucking work right! Disgrace and mockery is what it leads to! I've decided not to include VGN or MNM or some of the smaller groups unless they do something for me to make fun of or applaud. the review seems to be the same every week. :) =----------------------------------=--------------------------------------= -----------[ Articles ]----------- =----------------------------------=--------------------------------------= -----------[ Prozac's Kinda Biased Gaming Report]----------- Prozac's Kinda Biased Gaming Report - #5 Well I'm taking some time off from the scene at this moment. I'm not even sure if they'll be another Kinda Biased Report from me. That's why I didn't have a gaming report last week. If you don't see anything from me for a while, it's because I'm gone, relaxing, taking some well deserved time off. Yes, my status at this moment is at semi-retired (if there is such a word). When my life is back in order, maybe I'll get back in the swing of things. Welp the last two weeks has been "interesting" to say the least. Paradigm came back and blew away everyone, SC3K controversy from CLS & OGN, Drizzt & Zeus's return, my semi-retirement, and the kicker, a working N64 Emulator for the PC. Let's take a look at what's been happening lately: Class- This group has been getting a lot of hatred from other groups ever since the final store version of SimCity 3000 came out. OGN has made a whole book in their nfo about this, and seem determined to make sure the scene knows they put out a supposed final version. You know what, I don't care. The facts have been laid before us in CLASS's nfo & OGN's nfo, and you can determine the truth. I won't give my thoughts because all it does is create strife in the scene. Do I support Class release? Always. Even if they did the most fucked up thing in the world (and they already have in the past with Half-Life), I'd stand behind this group. But to the shock of goaman, I do have to critique this group for this release quality of a bridge & go game released by a no-name European company. Yeah its Jan., but that's really no excuse in my opinion. At least they did put out Do U., which I beat in a couple days, and found to be kind of interesting, thought way too short. They finished off the month with another UK Soccer Manager. PHEAR. This group will be slowing down since I've taking some time off. Hot Releases: Bridge Master Class II - 4 disks Go Professional II- 4 disks Beavis & Butthead Do U- 37 disks Simcity 3000 Final- 50 disks USM 98-99 Soccer Manager - 27 disks Paradigm- Oh my God. It seems that the guys in PDM do read my report (some like it, some don't). Drizzt comes back and barely loses to CLS on Do U., then Zeus & JLennon come back and slam about 5 games in a week, including the highly anticipated Turok 2 & RB6:Eagle Watch. They basically come out of left field and win the month of January, no doubt about it. They also fixed RZR's mistake of finalizing Alpha Centari (thought not Razor's fault completely, they just jumped the gun). As long as I'm out of the supplying competition, PDM should be whooping it for a while. Hot Releases: Rainbow Six:Eaglewatch- 27 disks Extreme G2- 7 disks Football World Manager- 38 disks Alpha Centari Final- 16 disks Tellurian Defense- 49 disks Battleground 9- 26 disks Turok 2- 49 disks Razor- As predicted, this group is pretty dead at the moment. There are only two active suppliers in Razor and they aren't exactly very reliable. The crackers seem to be bored because they've been doing patches & trainers to kill the time in hope that some day in this year they will see a game they can crack and try to win on. Until the people who make Razor a household name come back and decide to be active, expect this slump to last. I'm shaking my 8-ball at this moment, and I see "Don't count on it". Hot Releases: N/A Origin- This group of wascully wabbits has really been doing some MAD recruiting, and have managed to get the old people of RZR Prime (91-93) back and active in this group. That doesn't mean it'll be a good thing. They did win in the race of cracking Worms Armaggedon first (multiple groups were racing on this game), then put out a kind-of web game. On there off time, they've been doing trainers and patches. They've also created a manifesto to basically demolish JTF & Class while at the same time they create there own propaganda machines called scenereview.com & the scene review charts. Funny. They not only bitch about being bias, they create there own biasness PRO-OGN scene reports. But why am I bitching? Everything in the world is bias, if you askew it to your own view. Anyway, OGN.. keep it up. I like the team you've managed to acquire. Hot Releases: Spins- 5 disks Worms Armaggedon- 47 disks Other- All of the other groups seem to be kind of dead, except the so-so games the people who don't want to put their under the big name group names put out crap games. I did like the Frogman & Casino games, slagging ][ce & OGN, but leaving the game unsigned. Heh. That's a good way to get your true feelings out without being bashed back. <g> Hot Releases: None worth mentioning. Springer'ish Final Thoughts: Around the end of the month the impossible became possible: An N64 Emulator that works on the PC. While you do need a 3DFX card and at least a 233 Machine, the console scene exploded, with out its consent. Thousands of people rushed into channels looking for the games they only wished they could play, including Zelda & Mario 64. The most amazing part was that they looked even BETTER than their N64 counterparts, because the resolution was at 640x480 or 800x600, and just drop dead gorgeous. The console scene now despises the emulamers even more, and has split this once quiet and relatively small scene into a major active scene of the net. I'm sorry, but I have to throw this in, but my new pet project has been a compatibility list for the UltraHLE N64 Emulator, which can be read at http://ppgr.webjump.com/n64/n64-playable.htm. I've been amazed by this thing, and while officially its been canned, it's known that development is still being done on this great piece of software, and shows the scene that the impossible IS possible. Will we see in the future of a PC N64 scene? Time will tell.

But did you also know that in real life, Lester's real name is "Roger", and he hosts a popular syndicated television show, where he plays a big fatass who has nothing better to do with his time than go to every single movie ever released? Well.. now you know.. Movie Reviews She's All That Starring: Freddie Prinze Jr., Jodi Lyn O'Keefe. Rating: 3 out of 4 This is another in the string of recent 80's flashback teen style movies. But yet this is still a very funny and good movie. The premise is that the best looking guy in school (freddie prinze jr.) has until the senior prom to make the dorkiest girl into the prom queen. Since he was dumped by the favorite for prom queen(jodi lyn o'keefe), he has to show that he is still the man by doing this. What follows is some goofy situations and some great stuff from Matthew Lillard(stu from scream). Overall it's a good feel good movie and is a good time. Hopefully we will see it in VCD before long (g) =----------------------------------=-------------------------------------= =---------[ VCD Group and Movie Reviews ]----------= VCD Group and Movie Review Welcome to the first edition of the VCD Review section of NWR. We would like to begin by explaining some of the common terms used in VCD releasing. These formats are: Telesync/TS: Telesync is a procam on a tripod in an empty theater with a separate audio source. If there's an audience, you hear people coughing, camera is shaky, etc. It's a CAM. CAM = banned. If you want a movie extremely early, Telesync is the way it will be. Workprint: Workprint is a pre-release copy of a movie, stolen copy, etc. that usually has the film running time on the screen. Screener: Screener is usually the BEST quality, an actual vcd of the movie, made from a reviewers copy, etc. Screener's are generally released after movies have left the theaters. Special Thanks to Ryche of EViLiSO for the education in VCD terms, and to come.to/vcddupe for keeping us up to date on the new titles. -------------------- Special note for last week. Jerry Springer Ringmaster was released by Slackerz, and The Faculty was released by Eviliso. -------------------- These are all really old I know, but since up until today there was not alot of action for this week, I did not get to watch much. Today EViLiSO has exploded with A Civil Action and In Dreams. I also have Pecker coming for next weeks reviews. So I am just offering some tips for people looking at older VCD's. :) Next week will be every title that was released during the span of Sunday-Saturday. Slice, Myself, and S^J will be doing reviews, with Ryche of EViLiSO taking care of the group reviews. Enjoy! -------------------- A Bug's Life - 12/08/98 - VCDRS - Telesync - 2 Discs Disney Pictures Video Quality: I was impressed by the quality of this video for a telesync, but there were a few problem in the early stages of the movie, focusing was going in and out, excessive brightness and then two people walked in front of the screen, so they lose some points for that. But overall the quality of the video was very good for a Telesync. Rating: 3 Audio Quality: For the first time since I started watching VCD's, I saw a THX telesync, and I was very impressed. No pops or hisses and just a smooth sound. Very nice. Rating: 4 1/2 Movie Quality: Great for kids and even adults. Worth the cd's. Rating: 4 Reviewed by Lester ----------- A Simple Plan - 11/25/98 - IGN - Workprint - 2 Discs Video Quality: I wish I had a sample of this before I burnt the disc. The video is extremely fucked up and choppy, it's also not even a full screen, more of a wide screen format. I didn't even bother burning disc 2 as I couldn't sit through the first disc. Rating: 1 Audio Quality: Didn't really notice it greatly because of the video problems. Rating: N/A Movie Quality: This movie is supposed to be very good, but I'd goto the theatres or wait for video rather than download this VCD. Rating: 1 Reviewed by Lester ------------- Rounders - 11/06/98 - VCD-Europe - Screener - 2 Discs Video Quality: Excellent, much of what you expect from a screener. No complaints on this end. Rating: 5 Audio Quality: Also very good. Rating: 5 Movie Quality: Big fan of this movie about poker. Starring Matt Damon, Edward Norton and John Malkovich. I suggest checking it out Rating: 4 Reviewed by Lester -------------- American History X - 11/24/98 - EViLiSO - Screener - 2 Discs Video Quality: Screener, so as expected it's quite good. Not alot to say here. Althought it seemed slightly crooked at first.:) Rating: 4 Audio Quality: same as above. Rating: 4 Movie Quality: Superb film, Edward Norton was amazing. See my review in a past NWR of it. Rating: 5 Reviewed by Lester --------------- This Week's Releases Reviews Pecker - 01/30/99 - VCD-Europe - Screener - 2 Discs Video Quality: The scrolling of This is property of New Line Home Video kind of sucks and the Globe that tags who created the VCD in Asia is annoying too, but you can't deduct points for the group for that, and the rest of the quality is great. Rating: 4 1/2 Audio Quality: Audio quality is as good as you can make it with your sound system, it's a screener! Rating: 5 Movie Quality: Well, it's pretty rare that I d/l a vcd that I haven't yet seen, so I was looking forward to watching Pecker to see how it was. I am a big Christina Ricci fan and so I figured I'd take a peek. The movie is original for sure, it's about a kid who takes pictures of his family and people in his home town. He becomes big and famous and ruins the lives of his friends and family, will there be redemption in the end? You figure it out, anyways I think this is a worthy rental, but it's up to you if you want to use 2 cd's, but if you figure $1 per disc, and $2 for a rental.. same thing! Rating: 3 Reviewed by Lester =--------------------------------------= SJ's Reviews: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the virus (telesync - eviliso) very good plot. Energy lifeform takes over a russian space station and via that russian science ship. a small crew of americans stumbles on that ship and wanted to bring it for bounty award but stumbled on this life form. It's a life form make people + robts type of race (borg) and it seeks to takeover earch and kill the virus (us). Brave americans battle it. Movie quality wasn't really good as well as video/sound could have been better. The end was kinda shitty . I expected a lot more. So if u on a date cause u owe it to your sister since she covered u up for something, than this is the movie to go see otherways wait for the hbo *7 out of 10* down in the delta (screener - vcd europe) i dunno wtf was thisd movie doing in the cinema. I dunno also what was wesley snipes doing in it (unless community hours for some shit he did earlier) This movie has little point nor interest. Basically about a black family who try to survive in chicago and when they went back to their 'roots' in missisippi their life change and they get reborned. I would never pay for this, nor that i know why i watched this movie. lester was pimping me to watch some movies that he didn't watch so i had to watch that crap. If some1 died in your family only then watch that movie 1 out of 10 stepmoM (screener - vcd europe) WOW what a story , am not gonna tell u the story GO WATCH THIS MOVIE if u are family , bf and gf , lonely kid whatever go and SEE IT! The actors plays beautifully and this movie gonna get few oscars am sure. I haven't seen anything this good of a plot/actors play /story sicne maybe i dont even know :P 9.5 out of 10 .5 is missing cause am in a bad mood , didn't get laid today :P (hi ndetroit) sj P.S. msg him with leech accson your vcd sites so he can review more for your pleasure =-----------------------------------------------= Ryche's Really Biased VCD Report <Sir_Spank> Are you gonna do an unbiased report? <Ryche> BAHAHAHAHA Ok, here we go. Your all leeching these releases, so we're gonna tell you which groups rocked, and which groups sucked. I'll do my best to be as fair as possible but if I dont, you were warned. Ill review each group on 3 things. Number of releases whithin the week, quality of the releases, and the movie selection on a 5 point scale. (Yes, I can count higher) In case you dont know, the main VCD releasing groups are (In no order whatsoever): EViLISO, PMTVCD, IGN, VCD-Europe, Centropy, VHS (Videoholics), FiZ, and VCDRS with various pop-up groups sometimes rearing thier ugly head to throw shit in the game :) Releases for the Week of 1/23/99 - 1/30/99 012399 - Virus - Telesync - EViLISO (See Review) 012799 - Down in the Delta - Screener - VCD-Europe (See Review) 012999 - The Minion - Screener - Centropy 013099 - Pecker - Screener - VCD-Europe (See Review) [NUKED] - What Dreams May Come - Workprint - VHS - VCD-Europe - VCD-Europe continued thier trend of releasing high quality screeners that everyone has come to expect from them and I'll always give points for Screeners (Best quality VCD you can get USUALLY). Thier movie selection Im going to have to say something about tho.. Pecker?! It was a Box-Office ghost that never opened in wide release because the director, John Waters (Crybaby, Hair Spray), is just too weird for most peoples tastes. I know your going to say "If it never opened in wide release, that makes it a GREAT release!" Bullshit. Movies dont open in wide release because theyre either independent small studio releases or they suck. Guess which one this is. Overall a pretty good week for them with nothing but Screener coming out of this group for the week. Total - 4 Points - EViLISO - EViLISO started out the week with a Telesync of one of the two big movies to open the week of the 15th (Varsity Blues wknd). Ill give points for releasing it so quickly and points for choosing one of the top movies at the time. Its a Telesync so I wont give it any special mention because if I did, S^J wouldnt have anything to do. Overall, a decent release and it was done quickly. Total - 3 Points - Centropy - Well this week was not good to Centropy, but its thier own damn fault. They released The Minion which is a Dolph Lundgren (OMG!?#@) movie and when you see his name, you know we're not talking about good acting. I've been told this movie is a future direct-to-video release and it wouldnt surprise me one bit. Centropy's movie selection for release wasn't thier biggest problem this week though. During the release process, they forgot to include the .rar of CD1. The VCD was released to the public on the 29th, and as of writing they STILL had not released it. Even though they have promised to release it by Monday several sites have followed through on thier 24-48HR completion rule and have nuked the release for incomplete which would bring thier release total for the week to 0. Total - 0 Points - VHS (Videoholics) - This is a relatively new group that no one seems to know anything about but Im going to mention them since people seem to want to know who the hell they are. I have it on pretty good authority that VHS is the Telesync/WP/Other releasing arm of a VCD group who dont want to release non-screeners under their own name. Whether its true or not, I dont know, and since we dont have a "VCD Rumors" section your getting it in the reviews. VHS released a very good workprint (studio/pre-release) copy of What Dreams May Come. The reason it was nuked is because FiZ released a Workprint of the same movie some months back although it wasnt very good quality from what I hear. Either way it was a dupe, and was nuked officialy by siteops who follow strict releasing rules. I wont give any points for releasing a dupe but I will mention it because alot of siteops/nukers weren't aware it was a dupe and it's supposedly a higher quality image than the FiZ release was. Total - 1 Point (They made an attempt) A relatively slow week in VCD releases, and VCD-Europe takes home the first NWR VCD Review top group award for the week thanks to thier number of releases and Screener quality. EViLISO continues thier steady trend of releasing, VHS makes a mistake and Centropy fumbles the ball completely (No Atlanta jokes please). Hopefully next week will bring more releases by the other groups so I can pick on them too. If you dont agree.

For some unknown reason, DURANGED has managed to weektop somewhere... #2 on DLS, if you can believe that.. *cough*prewhore*cough* -Falsehood is back! Hooray!... As expected, its AoD's WHQ, and its already damn good... VDR is back. Hades is back, now FH is back.. We are pretty much back to the same sites being on top when NWR first came out... -WHAT THE FUCK IS RiSC DOING? bahahahaha.... sooooooo lame.. OMFG, its embarassing what has happened to them.. i belive that it was only about 2 weeks ago that i said something like "Lethal didn't pass his trial at DEV, so that means he'll probably be going to RiSC pretty quick..." Anyways: Lethal, Bigrar, HFB, Rase and CABLEGOD all joined up with RiSC! BAHAHAHAHAHA Cablegod?? jesus... Rase?? hahaha.... oh man.. maybe E1 should nark them after all, and put them out of their misery... ;p -i guess XNS will be coming back in a couple weeks, with a RiSC affil.. leet. very very leet.. ;p ... i hear they will be surrounding RiSC with the excellent affils of.... Fluke, TPC, and... hrmm..... (/me thinks: what is another really crappy group?)... oh, and iND so that will make their affils: RiSC/TPC/FLUKE/iND... leet. -ok, so... OGN now has a total of.... uhh.... 23 different HQ's throughout the world, so... apply to them if your site has not yet been made an OGN HQ.. I think that there is still a slot open for SWISS HQ, and Aussie HQ. -group moves: vylent to eql, godbless to RZR, cablegod to DNG, a whole shitload of crappy ppl to RiSC (wtf?), tk4 to ogn, paledeth to CURE (?), -According to Grad(e), AoD signed him to a 1 year contract in exchange for one official AoD T-Shirt... -Uhh... uhhh.... Billboards.For.Jesus.v1.0-GLoW Way to go GLOW.... RiSCISO had better watch out, looks like they got some competition... ;p -sky masterson =----------------------------------=----------------------------------------= --------[Stories from the Watercooler]---------- Ahh yes, rumors, we all love them even though we love to say how much we hate them when they are about us. And these are some of the better ones circulating around this week. Email us or find us on irc if you have a good rumor you'd like entered, your name will not be included, but we do not add rumors like that say "Tdpriest is having anal sex with Fusion" because we know that Fusion is only having sex with Xtremist and therefore there is no hard evidence of that rumor, so if you have real rumors, let us know. Let's begin! -Rumor has it that NWR will be disbanding soon, because we are tired of listening to whiny bitches like grind constantly asking "where is NWR?" -Rumor has it that Eagle_1 is going to find a way to stop the embarassment of what RiSC has become "once and for all".. Not sure what that means, but good luck to him, seems like a tough task.. =-------------------------------------=--------------------------------------= Well friends.. Thats about it. If you've read this far, we sincerly thank you. We like to know this thing gets read, so if you get the time, drop one of us a quick msg, and tell us what you think, give us suggestions, tell us it sucks, or just say "hi" to us!.... Greets fly out to: jaydee, mgd, stix, tdp, hr, eci, jamili, raptor, skill, mandrake, zeus, speedy, subzero, superfly@okcomputer, wu-dave, dee, sj, bud, prozac, bernis, paledeth, duranged, tech+his crew, Kusa, ssava, CRC 97, acidapple, and all the rest of you that we love... Find us on IRC in #nwr, (channel commands: !nwr, !nwr 23 or whatever issue you want. We can't afford email, so we just steal CWS's... ;) Support NWR and CWS, and email your weektops to: [email protected] Thank you! take care.. peace. -ndetroit + lester. NWR 2/02/98
