GTA IV: PC Edition

Rockstar have finally let slip a date for when Grand Theft Auto IV will be available for the PC. Due out in the UK on the 21st of November, the game will feature a more advanced multiplayer mode which is exclusive for it's PC players - for this we thank Rockstar... who have remembered that despite all the hype and money in console gaming.... Grand Theft Auto IS and always will be a PC game.

One thing that really does annoy me is when people state that GTA was born a Playstation game...(Read More)

The Dark Ages...

Just a quick note to let you know we're still alive (I'm sure you're so relieved!), it's just that we've moved house... again, and stooopid BT are taking their sweet time to plug a cable in, so until that happens... no Internet :(

However, offline - we are getting many things accomplished :) We'll be at Reading Festival this year, so I think we'll have to get some fire enriched pictures again!

Dawn of War II

I'm not a huge fan of the ‘Dawn of War’ series of RTS games. I've played it a few times, and have also tried ‘Winter Assault’ and various other add-on packs, however as with many games. It suffers the same let down that most modern RTS titles have been suffering from – not enough realistic damage!

I love the feeling of causing damage in games (note to the parents against violent computer games that I said in GAMES!), the feeling of destroying the enemy ...(Read More)

Windows 7...

Just when you thought Windows Vista was still shiny and new, Windows 7 is already being developed deep behind closed doors at Redmond central. Windows 7 in case you didn't know, is the successor to Windows Vista.

Naturally it won't be called 'Windows 7' when it's released sometime in January 2010, Microsoft will give it a pretty name which represents some idealistic goal of mankind all bundled into a software product, but details of the actual operating system are hard to come by, w...(Read More)

Coming Soon: Search The Serpent

New HTTP Article

Well it's only taken us seven years to finally replace the poll system that never worked (we tried to copy PHPNukes system but failed terribly), so instead we threw together some cheap PHP code to search our articles, downloads and news. Keep an eye out for the new search box (hopefully all AJAX'ed up!). We've got a new article all about HTTP. Interesting stuff if you're an Internet nerd like all of us at The Serpent. It explains (with pictures!) how HTTP came to life, what headers are mostly used to make simple connections from your browser to a web server, and how proxies and SSL are now used with the dated protocol.

X-Files Chronicles...

Text Too Small, Images Out Of Place...?

The X-Files Chronicles is 90% complete and online. There's just some text formatting to sort out, and get the movie entry posted. I also need to get the 'love', and 'paranormal' highlighting working as well. Tell us what you think of the websites looks, feel, touch, etc etc (except the graphics... we know they SUCK!), any comments or suggestions welcome.
