RAREDARK CONTROLLER SPECIAL -deadeye-
I put together a small (but rather informative) special concerning the GAMECUBE controller and it's effects on Perfect Dark Zero. It's a good read, with an image of the latest version of the controller included. Read it here.

IGN REVIEWS GAMECUBE CONTROLLER -deadeye-
In case you're not a frequent visitor of IGN.com, I decided to post this little newsflash. IGN have looked at and reviewed the finalized version of the GAMECUBE controller. Read the full story here. What does this mean for Perfect Dark Zero? I will put up a special soon considering Perfect Dark 2 and how it'll work out with the GAMECUBE controller.

I FEEL SPECIAL -deadeye-
My Half-Life vs. Perfect Dark special is coming along slowly, but it'll be a good read when I finish it. I also need to add those submitted RareDark challenges...

NEW BOARD MESSED UP -deadeye-
The new ad-free message board I got is totally messed up right now. You can't even view topics! Until I get it fixed, please use our old board, located HERE.

PERFECT DARK 2 ON YOUR MIND? -deadeye-
The Perfect Dark 2 Weapon Creations page has been fixed-up and updated. I'll probably be adding more to that page in the near future.

HOT NEW PERFECT DARK ZERO INFO -deadeye-
I recently found out why my secret "source" hasn't been submitting any new PD0 info to me lately. He was in an accident involving a drunk driver, so he was out for quite a while. But, now he's back, and RareDark.com will continue to provide you with the latest PD0 info. This latest info is interesting: it involves this website RareDark.com! Before I explain, read this info from my source:

"I have been informed that Rare WILL indeed be unveiling PD2 at Spaceworld this August. Finally, the waiting for some official information will be over. The Level-Editor is coming along beautifully, and will most likely be showcased along with the Mission-Editor. Also, Multiplayer Characters can be fully customised. Including such features as: Height, Weight, Clothing, Head, Hats, Sunglasses, and other such paraphernalia. Also, the storyline has been solidified somewhat during my "vacation". It seems that a certain CI star agent goes missing during an extremely delicate mission. The Institute is curious, and send in another agent after the first. The would-be rescuer discovers evidence that points to time travel. The Institite sends the the agent back in time to rescue the missing agent in the past."

Now for the explanation. Back in January '01 I decided to write a storyline for PD2 when I heard rumors that Rare was making it. When I finished, I thought I did a pretty darn good job on it, so I mailed it to RareWare Ltd. along with some suggestions (stuff saying like it'd be better to have the story take place near modern times so modern weapons can be used). By the way, my story line is located here. My storyline also has "time-travel" in it... For any newcomers to this site, RareDark.com is the ONLY website obtaining this special PD0 news! Not even IGN has most of this info. Keep checking back with RareDark.com for the latest info concerning PD0.

Oh, and one more thing, the new message board is back up again, so give it a visit and some posts before you leave.

SIZZL'N deadeye
I'm back from my trip, finally. It went pretty good. I'll probably add some submitted RareDark challenges later.

GONE WITH THE WIND -deadeye-
Beginning Monday, I won't be around for an entire week, so while I'm gone go ahead and send in your PD vs. HL comments (see yesterday's update) and if you have a RareDark Challenge feel free to send that in as well (you will be credited).

Thursday, 12 July, 2001

HALF-LIFE VS. PERFECT DARK -deadeye-
Ohh, yes, my Half-Life versus Perfect Dark special is coming along very well. You won't want to miss it, for it'll make for some very interesting reading. If you have a comment or quote that you'd like to be placed in the article, please e-mail me at deadeye@raredark.com with your quote or comment concerning your opinion on either Half-Life or Perfect Dark (or both) and state whether or not you'd like your nickname posted along side. Just any old comment will do, such as "I think Half-Life is better because..." or "I think Perfect Dark has better..." Your comment will be located at the bottom of the special along with everyone else's. Your input is greatly appreciated and wil add to the "zestiness" of the special.

TRY ME -deadeye-
One challenge added to the RareDark Challenges page, making the total number of challenges 2 (don't worry, it's growing).

Tuesday, 10 July, 2001

VROOM VROOM -deadeye-
I'll attempt to create some more challenges for you and possibly one or two more Sniper Views. I'm also currently working on a special featuring the real-life weapons from Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and The World is Not Enough. Sure, there are a couple sites that feature "real gaming weapons" specials, but this one will put them to shame, and anyway, back in the olden days of this site I had a special like this before anyone that I knew of had.

I CHALLENGE YOU -deadeye-
One RareDark Challenge has been added to The Challenges Page Check it out.

Friday, 6 July, 2001

MEDIA -deadeye-
One "Sniper View" added to the Sniper Views page and five animations added to the Text Animations page.

WOAH -deadeye-
I noticed this site got a few extra hits yesterday (a couple hundred extra to be exact). I wonder why... Anyway, you can probably expect a crapload of new sections and the older ones to be fixed-up and updated. I'll also try to sqeeze some more Perfect Dark Zero info out of my secret source. I might even take some more screenshots of places where you can't go in Perfect Dark. And one more thing, the new message board is messed up and I need to restore it.

THAT'S MESSED -deadeye-
The Perfect Dark music I have recorded and uploaded cannot be downloaded because of the type of file it is. Nothing I can do about that right now. Anyway, the Perfect Dark Zero clan page should be up sometime soon, and I'll get around to fixing up the Gameshark page. I might even create a long-needed new and unique page.

Monday, 2 July, 2001

I HEAR TUNES -deadeye-
It's about time. I've started recording all of the music from Perfect Dark and uploading them for you to download and listen or do whatever you want with the files. So far I've only uploaded the dD Extraction X song, but I'll eventually upload the rest. The sound quality is pretty good, but not as perfect as an MP3 file (I'm uploading them as .rmx files). If you want to download what I've uploaded so far, go to the Music Page. Enjoy.

ANUDDA AFFILIATE -deadeye-
I'd like to welcome the Gamers Ring as my newest affiliate. It's a site based on general gaming which will have cheats, codes, and many other sections.

BUDDY ICONS -deadeye-
For those of you who have AOL Instant Messenger or post at a message board you may like the feature of having a personal image or "buddy icon", so I made a few for you to use. They can be found at the Buddy Icons Page. I hope you enjoy them.

PD2 MULTIPLAYER CLANS? -deadeye-
It is rumored that NINTENDO GAMECUBE will have online multiplayer capabilities. What does this mean? RareWare is one of the best gaming companies when it comes to mutliplayer gameplay, so you can expect Perfect Dark Zero to have online gameplay if capable with the NINTENDO GAMECUBE. In turn, this means many fans will want to start their own online multiplayer teams, better known as "clans". Shortly, I may create my own clan, even though it may be a little early. Better to get a good start on a good clan name anyways. If you are interested in joining my soon-to-be clan or even creating your own clan, by all means let me know, so I can set-up a layout for your clan's website and so I can create a list of Perfect Dark Zero clans.

MORE HALF-LIFE SHOTS -deadeye-
I created some more HL shots for you. Even though it has nothing to do with PD, there's, well, nothing TO do in PD anymore. So, I figured I'd get some of you interested in HL or Counter-Strike until PD0 comes out next year. Here are the shots:

002 | 003 | 004 | 005 | 006 | 007 | 008 | 009

BACK AND INTACT -deadeye-
I'm back from my little campout. I saw a couple good-looking girls while I was there, so it was worthwhile. Anyway, now for the good stuff. I took my first screenshot of Half-Life for the PC, which you can view here. I will make many more screenshots for you potential Half-lIfe fans, as well as some PD shots. I've also got an idea for a special being titled, "Half-life vs. Perfect Dark", which should be interesting.

DOWN IN THE WOODS -deadeye-
I'm going camping for the next few days, so I won't be around. When I come back I'll add some more PD2 info and some screenshots. Be sure to check out the new message board and sign-up (free) so you can chat away while I'm gone. I'll see you Sunday or Monday (maybe even Tuseday).

OUR NEW MESSAGE BOARD -deadeye-
Ah, it's about time. I decided to take the time to get a decent message board instead of using that ad-infested ezBoard that is starting to blow. The new board is so much better. Check it out here. Moderator positions are available, so register and start posting while you can. I won't be accepting mods until you have 15 or more good posts. I hope all of you will make good use of this new board, as I didn't set it up for nothing.

HOLY CRAP! -deadeye-
If I get around to it sometime I'll upload a holy crappin' amount of screenshots for you. Just for the heck of it, I'll make some Half-Life shots for you as well, even though it has nothing to do with PD. It's just a suggestion... You can play Half-Life and Counter-Strike multiplayer while you wait until PD comes out in late 2002. My best guess is that it will come around September or October of 2002; a long wait. Speaking of Perfect Dark, I've got a little tidbit of more PD2 info for you (I didn't add it to the PD2: Latest Info page yet). PD2 will have editors for both single player and multiplayer. If I received the info correctly, the mlti editor will allow you to make te multi level sort of like a mission level: you can place sims (friendly and enemy) anywhere on the level to act like guards, I guess. I'm not sure how it'll work out, but we'll get the confirmed news sooner or later.

LONG TIME, NO UPDATE -deadeye-
I haven't received any new PD2 info from my source since the last update, which is why I haven't bothered updating the past few days. To add on to that, I've been very busy. I don't even have time to answer the Question of the Update, which I'll try to answer in the next update. If you're bored, just give RareDark.com's Message Board a quick visit and give it a post or two. It hasn't seen much action lately.

Sunday, 10 June, 2001

YEAH, BABY -deadeye-
Added a flood of information to the Perfect Dark Zer: Latest Info page. Some stuff about the control style, some multiplayer stuff, and various other little facts. Oh, I'll answer Question of the Update number 20 soon.
