T'was the night before Christmas and . . .
Merry Christmas everyone! And I hope you get as drunk as I will on New Years eve :) Though I planned on having this issue out way earlier in the month, circumstances arose that prevented it's release till now. With JED's release before the projected December 23rd, the 'calm before the storm' feeling that had settled over JK on the net has ended and level creators are already nose to the grindstone churning out new levels. The future is bright...
On bit of Darkness Falls news to clear up. There will not be a third part to the Making of Mt. Kurek series as a lot of the points I was going to go over were covered in Mark Haidekker's Jungle Fever article series. Ok....onto the Pic of the Month comp.....

Pic of the Month
'Pic of the Month' is a really simple competition. The competition is basically where readers get to send in screenshots taken from single player & multiplayer JK games and the coolest one I receive each month will be published here. It may be an awesome action shot of you slicing up an opponent or a funny pic of a trick you pulled on someone.

Watch your head Granny....
This month's screenshot is actually not taken from JK. I know I said above that the shots should be from SP or MP Jedi Knight matches, but this pic was too damn good to pass up on. It is from a Aliens TC in construction for Duke Nukem....it's creators didn't want there real names disclosed just yet....so I'll just refer to them as Sgt. Apone and Prv. Drake :) In the shot above, Apone is about to meet the same fate he did the last time he entered this famliar building in Aliens the movie.
If you have some screenshots you'd like to submit to the competition, then just email me them. Make sure the email includes a description of the shot(s). I would also prefer if people would send them in JPEG or GIF format. If you are unable to convert the shot(s) from PCX for some reason, then please at least zip the file(s) before sending.

Next Issue....and the future
Obviously, next issue will feature the results from the Dark Forces & Jedi Knight Awards. But that will not be the primary feature. The January issue will be the JED issue (and possibly ForceBuilder issue). We'll have indepth reviews and at least one new JED tutorial. There will also be a special movies article on the flicks coming in 1998 and a look back at the hits and duds of 1997.
