To clarify, the following things in the news are real:

-Both staff promotions (notice their green nicknames)
-The PRIZM smelling bad

- The LAN party and the paramedics

We were actually playing Crysis II though

I don't know what will happen to the processor (other than higher heat production), but given that the feature is supported by the manufacturer, I'd hope that the appropriate cooling systems exist.

* z80man decides to add a liquid cooling system to his Prizm

As can be told from this quote from the early days of Prizm hacking, there were plans to install a liquid cooling system to prevent the catastrophic meltdown that was experienced earlier today. Unfortunately the coolant had not arrived in time for the LAN party which therefore caused the excessive heat and fumes. Luckily the shipment is expected to arrive by next week allowing all future overclocking endeavors to be done in a much safer manner. I'm happy to report that the only harm done to me was a large fluctuation in my nasal hair. My Prizm on the other hand required a new processor due to the extreme heat damage. As of now it has been replaced with the new SH5 proc to replace the aging SH4 version that previously inhabited the Prizm. Overclocking tests on the prototype Prizm emulator have shown to produce similar fumes.

Are there any plans for another LAN Party? I wanna play Call of Duty 

Or maybe a gCn party?

I'd like Kerm to finish Doors PRIZM first. Only then gCn.

Why do you need Kerm to finish Doors? As a note I'm already working on an asm shell that when finished will be extremely powerful. One of its strongest features is allowing programs to register a file extension for themselves so if for example a Prizm notepad program was ever made, it would then register .txt to itself. Then whenever you click on a txt file from the main menu, notepad will then open that file.

I don't need him to finish Doors, I need someone to make a shell, or is there an easy way to run Asm files?

The OS supports g3a files (add-ins) which are kinda like apps on the 84+. All current programs are in that format.

Yeah it would be nice to have an actual shell that can run ASM/C files, to save space. Doors CS would be a nice shell, although since there are some people who dislike the mouse cursor Kerm would have to ensure that HomeRun is possible on the Prizm.

Other shells are welcome too, as long as they're compatible with each others. Just for the sake of user preference.

About a month ago Qwerty drew up a proposed file format for Prizm asm programs that I'm now implementing in a shell with only minor modifications. What I like about his format is its clean packet layout that allows for near unlimited future additions, backwards compatibility, and cross-compatibility. I'm also making a big deal of cross-compatibility in allowing libraries to be treated as individual files that can be imported to the shell during runtime. As a note this is much easier than it sounds because the Prizm memory follows the FAT32 protocol allowing it to act like a standard usb drive when attached to a computer and also negating the need for TI-connect like software. 

Sadly, I was not  able to participate in the LAN party as I just got my Prizm yesterday. I am glad  however that I was not part of the unfortunate "Stanky calc. incident of 2011" that was caused by the overheating Prizms. It is fortunate that noone was seriously injured, and that the overheating issues have been (supposedly) addressed for next time. On another note; I'd like to congratulate Qwerty and Z80man on the promotions!
