CSNE Overcome With NHM Requests
Shortly after the release of Issue 9, CSNE's mailboxes were flooded with requests from readers for the location of the Nude Hostage Models. Many users said they just wanted to "test their cream rifle" and "make sure that they were Beta 7 compatible." Fear not, for NHM hoster NextWish offered this simple bit of advice: "Just download them from my site!"

Prefab Site Saved
When Gooseman announced that there would be drivable vehicles in Beta7, many were excited. No one, however, was as excited as those faithful webmasters running prefab sites. "Since the official banishment of prefabs back when mappers began to actually map, my hits per day fell to 0.05. After the drivable vehicles announcement, though, my vehicle prefab section was swarmed by 9,004,732 poor mappers who just can’t seem to do anything for themselves," stated PrefabLand owner, ChickenSquirrel. "Thank God for Gooseman!"

Slot Machine Broken
Civilian assitance is needed in finding the culprits who rigged the slot machines in de_vegas, say authorities. Earlier today, vandals stormed into a Las Vegas hotel and broke the change mechanisms on many of the slot machines. One tourist became infuriated when he couldn't get his winnings "even though the [expletive] machine was beeping wildy and making sounds of change!"

Spelling Mistake Pointed Out on CS Forums

Tragic events followed a novice forum user today, when he accidentally misspelled a word on his second post to the famed Counter-Strike Fourms. The unfortunate error was caught by the former forum moderator and insomniac Mach5. Pointing out his spelling mistake on the word "engine," which Johnny_Rotten wrote mistakenly as "enhine," Mach5 was thrown into a fury of slander.

"Once someone points out a spelling mistake your forum career is just about over," commented Keyser-Soze :D, who suffered a similar fate in the great forum outlash of Beta 6.

Keyser stated his pathetic state of mind was a result of his own egregious error, forcing him to carry a new handle with only 742 posts credited to it. Keyser-Soze said this as he nervously eyed a pack of razor blades resting on the table.

"I didn't deserve it man, I didn't deserve it," a disheartened Johnny_Rotten said. "You don't know what it's like. I join a server and the admin bans me. There's a damn price on my head. All I wanted to do was comment about Beta 7."

"I knew what he was going to do," claimed one forum moderator. "You don't f00k with Mach5."

New Knife Increases Suicide Rate

Statistics show that the introduction of the Ginsu(tm) knife into Counter-Strike has rapidly increased suicide rates by players. Farewell letters from the self-inflicting victims seem all too alike; most mention that the new knife offers "a less painful abdominal entrance" and "slides in real smooth."

Clan member [uP]Cockman's suicide note reads similar to the others: "KN1FE with rubbOr gr1p and SMOOTH EDGE OMFG... ME GO BYE-BYE NOW"

Autopsies of the players have revealed two usual death scenarios: either repetitive, short slashes across the chest, or a powerful thrust-and-rip into the facial region. Many deaths could have been avoided, authorities say, if users just turned the knife around.

Analysts suggest the company's slogan, "Ginsu(tm) has a knife for everything," has a deeper connection with the deaths.

De_aztec Lighting Baffles Archeologists

The Aztec Indians, who dominated central Mexico in the time of Spanish Conquest, have always been looked back on as one of the most technologically advanced cultures in history. However, recent developments suggest that these people possessed the technology the rest of the world would not encounter for centuries to come. To be blunt, Ben Franklin did not invent electricity.

Historians and archeologists are baffled as to how Aztec people harnessed the power of florescent lighting hundreds of years in advance. A gathering of top experts declared yesterday that they have "no clue" as to what the source of this profound discovery might be.

Dr. Ethan Mazur, archeologist, spoke about the recent happenings. "In addition to finding the source of the florescent lighting, we are also trying to find out how the Aztecs bypassed traditional incandescent lighting and went straight to florescent. It's mind boggling."

Dr. Mazur also said that because of the lack of cords or visible wiring, his team is trying to find the power source for the lighting. Wireless energy, as inconceivable as it may be, might have been an everyday rite for these jungle people.

"The Aztecs also have channeled local lightning storms into small, red, circular ritual marks on the ground. We believe this might be a source of energy," he commented. "The bulbs have been running for hundreds of years, and they still work. In addition to an advanced counting system and a sophisticated time table, I guess we can add 'florescent lighting' to their list of discoveries."


'Jeepathon2k' Affected By Tire Recall

Disastrous news struck the Counter-Strike community today, as the CS team announced that the Jeeps included in the new test map "jeepathon2k" would have to be recalled. The team cited that defects in the tires were causing blowouts at high speeds, irregular driving methods, team killing, and other unusual bugs to crop up during usage. In addition to the recall, the CS team is also asking for all copies of Beta 7 to be sent back as well.

Cliffe, Counter-Strike public relations spokesperson, was on hand to share his comments on the unfortunate tide of events, as always.

"We hate to see people have to send their copies back, but from the plethora of problems that we've received here, we felt it would be safe for everyone to send their Beta 7 copies back while we fix this disastrous problem that has cropped up."

The decision follows in the footsteps of the much larger Ford Motor Company's recall of all vehicles equipped with the Wilderness AT tire. At high speeds, the tire would blow out, causing disastrous results for the driver and any passengers unfortunate enough to be inside.

The recall is considered to be one of the largest and most awkward to date, as hundreds of thousands of Counter-Strike players are forced to upload their copies of Beta 7 back to the servers they downloaded them from. Many players are protesting the move, though.

"This makes no sense, none at all," one anonymous Planet Half-Life worker commented. "As if FilePlanet wasn't disorganized and unreliable enough, we have to let the world upload to it now. Oh, does anyone want a low-paying job at planetmichaelbolton.com or planetjohntesh.com? GameSpy Industries had me register them today, and we need more disgruntled workers."

Cliffe also stated that because of the unfortunate recall, upgraded copies of Beta 7 would be shipped out with the new yogurt cannons mounted to the dashboard of each vehicle.

"Gooseman took some time off from molesting the elderly to code the new yogurt cannon turrets on top of the prefab Jeeps," Cliffe remarked. "I have to admit that these improvements will definitely cream the competition!"

Beta 7, originally slated to be a GameBoy port, was released last week.
