I'd like to make a few comments though. First of all, last week's issue sucked ass. I take responsibility for it, but you can expect more of the same unless my fellow writer's can show some consistancy. I know Bud had exams and so I don't knock him, and Ryche is finally maybe working on his return. So hopefully we will see NWR getting back to it's former quality. As to my utils report last week, fuck you, it sucked and I know that. <g> Enjoy bud's return and a few other things this week. Les BTW. No NWR pic, I was tempted to include a 5 meg mpg in this, but I thought it might upset some ppl, so PLEASE goto fugly.com and grab the fucking_stop_already.mpg thati s there It is the first real live footage of Jess in her natural state. Filmed by our cameraman Tdpriest in his return to NWR. :) -----------[ index ]----------- I.) Intro a) Lester b) ndetroit II.) Quotes of the Week III.)

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.. =--------------------------------------------------------------------------= x3 -CAT- -E- -FS- -FH- -PD- x2 -VDR- -MG- -EB- -HOG- -DLS- ---=NETMONKEY COURiER REPORT=--- =--------------------------------=--------------------------------------= trader group CAT E FS FH PD VDR EB HOG MG DLS pts --------------------------------------------------------------------- cedric AOD 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 4 1 237 nail AMN 3 3 3 4 3 2 2 4 1 4 201 darkwolf AOD 1 2 7 2 2 0 5 6 8 7 159 bohnz AOD 5 4 2 3 10 8 0 0 3 2 130 moonsabre AOD 4 6 0 8 8 4 4 5 7 9 106 avalanch RiSC 0 0 0 7 6 3 6 2 5 3 099 drunkkid AMN 0 7 8 5 4 6 7 10 0 5 092 jfking AMN 6 8 9 0 7 0 0 1 2 0 080 boring ??? 7 10 0 9 0 0 0 7 10 6 041 kruzin AMN 0 5 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 10 038 Oomf! =--------------------------------=--------------------------------------= -----------[ Lester's Biased Courier Section ]----------- Amnesia: AMN has a pretty decent week, snagging #1 or #2 on all weektops, pretty much making it clear that they are #2 behind AOD right now comfortably, and with a few ppl resting this week they still popped up ok. Not as good as last week though. A few shell problems as well. Overall: 7/10 AOD: Well, we all can see who is #1 right now:) Which will never change as long as they can continue to find so many pre's. It'd be nice to see some more actual trading, but I guess with so many pre's theres not much reason to waste so much time trading. <g> Undisputedly the #1 group right now. Especially if they gain JD and a prominent site from Dev. Overall: 10/10 Devotion: Well dev has reached an all-time low, and if the rumors of Jaydee leaving are true, this leaves dev possibly in a situation of disbanding or going into extreme idleness. No leaders are really there to step up in his place unless Dizzi comes back, and Dizzi has been out of the game for a very long time. Overall: 1/10 Risc: Risc still manages to keep up their comeback. Avalanch is the sole top 10 guy, but they still do have a decent week. keeping up their fight for #3. Not as active as past weeks but Avalanch carries the weight with a little bit of help from Brain and Psed0. Overall: 5/10 Vice: Djmp3 was out and about and Vice appears to have a new guy on the blocks that they are training, mrp also showed up on a few sites. Not a huge week though. :) Overall: 3/10 Well I would review Boring's group since he placed top 10..but I don't know what group he's in :) peace yo =----------------------------------=--------------------------------------= -----------[ Articles ]----------- =--------------------Your Name Here's Games Report------------------------= Y0 sup bitches: There is some funny shit on comedy channel and am still drunk from last night so i figured i'll write a REVIEW, since our usual writer kinda busy this weekend. This is my 1st game review (and i hope last), so if i fuck up domething read below for email address where you can complain and shit. Enjoy this , and if you dont like it, mail me with ideas. Later if its good game it'll get 5 points, crappy 3, budget 1 , fuckup -3 (everything in the middle is my opinion) ______ /| ___ /\______ /\______ / \/ | / _ \ / _____/ _____> / |_ / |/ | \\____ \ \____ \ < | < / | / | \/ | \ \ _____\_<____|___\_____ /\_____ / +=\/======================\/=======\/==+ RELEASE: POINTS: 991208 Rally_Championship_Patch_2_Cracked-CLS 2 991210 Formula_One_99-CLS 5 991211 Crusaders_of_Might_and_Magic-CLS 5 991212 Urban.Chaos.Trainer-CLS 2 991213 Total_Soccer_2000_v1.52_Update-CLS 2 991213 Tzar.Trainer-CLS 2 991214 Crusaders_of_Might_and_Magic_Plus_4_Trainer-CLS 3 991214 Dirt_Track_Racing_v1.02d_Patch-CLS 2 Well kinda slow week for class. They have won om CMM while both pdm/ogn raced it and both fucked up textures: class werent even fucked since they used rare compression method, which takes usualy 2-4 hrs to compress but has a very good ratio, so its worth it!

And, possibly, if the rest of NWR is ready, you'll be reading this on time! With the Christmas gaming rush winding to a close, the utils scene should once again pick up, as those who work in both areas will have considerably less to do game-wise. So lets see how the past week went. Disclaimer: It's BIASED moron. My opinion. So don't send me a bunch of mail & messages bitching about this or that. If you don't like it... SCREW YOU =] Rankings: Groups get a score out of 10. Points are given for amount of releases, but QUALITY titles will give a group a much higher score. Nukes for duping, broken releases and just plain CRAP will lower a groups score. However on the occasion that a title is nuked which I don't feel should have been, MY OWN JUDGEMENT TAKES PRECEDENCE. Cuz I'm writing this. Groups can also get points for any other reason I see fit. Week: Week is based from 12/07/99 to 12/13/99. I'm in the EST time zone so dates/times run according to it.

Well, it's not that there were any misunderstandings... CORP just didn't do squat for a while and everyone assumed they were as good as dead. However, they firmly state that they are not, and have gone about proving it by releasing a fair amount of so-so software titles. Nothing to match DataCAD, a rip they actually screwed up by... well not ripping much... but some decent stuff, including an inventory management app, some bookkeeping software, and several apps pertaining to the industrial sector.

Is anyone else annoyed by Datecodes though? Oh well. What I'll focus on here is L-Edit Pro. Now LND released this app, and fucked it up. The next day we saw Scum release a working copy, and LND release a fixed copy as well. So who should get credit? Well yes LND screwed up. And personally I favor Scum. However, there was a time where the scene had a grace period for groups to fix their own mistakes, and it's something which, while not a great issue in this case, keeps things organized for endusers. It prevents several copies from going out, some perhaps not working fully, and confusing potential downloaders. Saves me hearing "whose copy should I get" too ;) So I'll give this one to LND. Minus points for the screwup though. Total: 5/10 .__________.

Although I hate to over-analyze things like this, it would seem this crew was putting out more plugins and artistic tools under the Siege moniker, but then again it's a slow time of year.

They put out a newer datecode of Productview than Scum did, they claim some fairly major fixes... I'll believe em. They also score on Kai's Photo Soap 2.5 from Metacreations, but everyone lost on KPT 6, to a relatively unknown group (who released with 2 repacks, but they did win).

Good apps in Dreamweaver 3 and Kai's Photo Soap 2.5. That's it, I am outta here! - Bud =----------------------------------=-------------------------------------= =---------[ Lester's Movie Reviews ]----------= Sure he's a prominent scene member, leader of the #1 courier group, and former "Miss Scene 1995".. 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.. The Green Mile Starring: Tom Hanks and alot of other people. Rating: 4 out of 4 Stars Well, what can I say..I did not read this book, but now I believe that I will. This is one of the best films I have seen in recent memory, the acting is superb and the writing is magnificent. The story is about a captain of the prison guard that guards Death Row, which is referred to as The Green Mile, captain is played by Hanks, and it details one year of their watch on the mile. In this time a gigantic black man, and i forget his name but he delivers a stellar performance, comes to death row for killing 2 small girls. The story develops as Hanks begins to think the man is innocent and paranormal things begin to happen with the man. I don't really wish to give anything away, as it will lose effect when you see it. This truly is a masterpiece and DEFINATELY worth the money and time to see. It runs nearly 3 hours. --- Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo Starring: Rob Schneider & others. Rating: 2 3/4 out of 4 stars On a much lighter note, we get an offering from the Sandler camp, with Schneider starring as a makeshift male gigolo, when he accidentally wrecks the apartment of a real gigolo who will kill him if he comes back. he's a bumbling moron and he gets set up on a ton of really bad jobs. It's pretty cute and funny, but not spectacular. There are some good Matrix rips though :) --- =----------------------------------=-------------------------------------= =---------[ VCD Group and Movie Reviews ]----------= We would like to begin by explaining some of the common terms used in VCD releasing. These formats are: CAM - A cam is usually a handheld camera snuck into a full theatre. The base is shaky, the audio is poor, you can hear people laughing and talking. A cam is distinguishable by usually having a combination of all three or more of these flaws. Most sites nuke cams for their general poor quality. Workprint - An early release of a movie. These are usually stolen or leaked copies of movies that have made their way onto VCD from VHS or a variety of other sources. These will usually contain running time codes as well as other identifying marks used in movie production. The quality on these can vary from bad to very good depending on the quality of the source material used to encode the VCD. Note: This category is also used for very bad screeners or copies of movies that just didn't fit into any of the other categories due to defects or problems with the quality of the VCD's audio/video image. Telesync - Basically a very good Cam. A steady base such as a tripod is used, the theatre is empty or very close to empty, and the audio and video are up to par. Although, you can usually detect some flaw with a TS. You may see a random head pop up, the screen edges are noticable, or the audio isn't always crystal clear. While not perfect, the quality in general of a telesync ranges from good to very good and is usually the first type of VCD made of a new movie. Screeners - These are the top quality VCDs. They can be in either widescreen (letterbox) or in full-screen (pan and scan) with excellent audio and video. These are made from video distributors demo tapes, reviewers copies, insider copies of the film or from any number of sources. Most screeners will contain "1-800-NO-COPIES" or "Property of.." messages somewhere in the film, but it's not a requirement to fit into the screener category. These most closely resemble a VHS or LaserDisc copy of the movie. They're easily identifiable by their top quality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ryche is maybe coming back!@# =----------------------------------=-------------------------------------= -----------[The Scene News]----------- All the news thats fit to print... and then some...
