Internet gaming matchmaking service Heat.Net announced that recent business has been way too cool for them to compete. The company, famous for hosting exclusive games like 10Six and for allowing users to trade points for cool gamer stuff, just couldn't compete with the slick MS Gaming Zone or the abysmally awful Mplayer Network. Heat will close up shop on Halloween this year.

I wish I had a photo of the waterproof advertisement Heat.Net put in all the urinals at E3 1999 for this story. I really wish I had one right now. Now that'd be funny.
