Adding more save points to GR:AW PC
Posted by Rocky on Tuesday, October 24 2006
The lack of a quick save feature for GR:AW has been the source of much frustration to some fans, even to the extent of not completing the campaign due to the repitition involved in getting past tricky stages.

Using our Adding More Save Points to GR:AW tutorial though, you can have as many save points as you wish, exactly where you want them. No longer will you have to replay sections of the same mission over and over until the difficult section is again upon the Ghosts.

If you have any feedback, or need additional help with this tutotial, please post it here.

Sig Awards 29 now in progress
Posted by Dannik on Tuesday, October 24 2006
Sig Awards #29 is now in progress!

This one is an homage to our missing Graphics Master, the.ronin

Is he on a sabbatical? Mexican prison? Undercover with the CIA? Drunk on a beach in Majorca? We don't know, but we're counting on you, trusty sig masters, to find out for us!

Prizes, as always, include absolutely nothing, other than bragging rights. That and a t-shirt. To claim your prize, find a t-shirt you already have, pull out a marker, and write "I won my own shirt in a GR.net sig contest." We won't laugh. A lot.
