On paper it sounds good…

Posted at 11:35:45pm UTC
1 more rant down there!

As you may have seen, I bought the Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Warchest in my latest spending spree, primarily so that I could join up with the rest of [EVO] in the MOHAA nights on our servers.

One thing that was decided when the servers were being set up, was that we would be having DMW Anticheat enabled on them. This means that anyone who wants to play on our server needs to have the DMW client installed on their computer. Alright, no biggie. Downloaded and installed fine. Up comes the login box. Oooh, OK didn’t know a login was needed. Let’s click on “Create Account”.

That’s where the trouble came. You see, once you get onto that page, you’re lovingly greeted by this:
No new accountsâ€¦
OK, that does not help me one fucking bit. How on earth am I supposed to play on our DMW-protected server when I can’t make an account to login to the client so that it can scan me when I join the server to ensure I have no cheating devices, and thus not kick me 30 seconds after joining?

It also wouldn’t be as bad if we had decided not to put back up our DMW-free Team Deathmatch server after the server’s hard disk failure recently… Oh well. I guess it’s back to Worms World Party, Sims 2, and Command and Conquer…

Although I really should get some 360 time in. But that won’t happen for at least another 4 days. 3rd January is the earliest I can go back to the college dorm, since the University officially re-opens then. But then again, I might be delayed further by another day since the 3rd is my mother’s birthday.

Oooh shit, what to get her… Can’t be jewellery since Aoife got her a necklace with an “E” symbol on it. Ideas anyone?

Get her a gift card.Everybody loves a gift card.

Rant in reply

If this is your first time ranting here, I'll need to approve of it first. If I do, then the floodgates are open (not literally!) for you to rant away unhindered in the future.

If you were so hungry you ate your "ranting cookie", then I'll need to approve your rant, and give you another cookie. Go put it in the biscuit tin, padlock it shut and throw away the key!

Gravatars are enabled, so show us your mug!.

Links are automatically "dofollowed" after two days, giving me time to kill the spam! With that in mind, any rant with 3 links or more will need my explicit approval.

Clicking the little arrow by a ranters' name allows you to specifically rant in reply to them, Twitter-style.

Since this load of drivel is about a month old, if your rant is caught by the spamhammer, it will be immediately owned and won't get a chance to respawn. So play nice!

And you are? And don't say you don't have a name!

E-mail please. Will not be sold on to a spam company.

Your home on the web, if you've got one.

Your rant, obviously.
