Why don't you come to #terrafusion anymore? 

Partly: Bler turning into Scampie. 

If I had a penny for every time someone asked me that, I would have like 6 or 7 cents by now. 

I haven't seen Scampie do anything besides join/part for 2 or so months now. Shambler hasn't been on IRC for 4 monhths at least. 

The respawn delay is normal. I never liked it either but it stayed.

DM is tougher on hardware I think because it's a lot easier to have a lot more going on than in SP, where the amount of effects and monsters and shooting was more tightly controllable. 

A sierra/LEC type adventure seems pretty simple code-wise. The entire game is just a big tree of "screens" containing hotspots that react to certain commands, sometimes with inventory items as parameters, with a second tree of prerequisites that sets up what things have to be done before what other things are activated.

Seems like the big hurdle would be doing all the necessary art - the system behind it is uniform enough that it really amounts to a scripting language. 

scampie seems to ingore #tf these days. I tried to contact with him (via #tf, private, email) and got no responce.

btw anyone can host my site? my previous site was deleted by admins when I've been away for 6 months 

sure, i'd feel honored :)
drop me a mail (spirit@quaddicted.com) 

If gibbie has a full set of id base textures, including bump/specularity, that might be a good reason for me to map for Quake 4.

Ditto.

Emo? What the hell is this? 

I don't know; I saw the URL advertised while I was watching Smokey and the Bandit II on TV. I think it's some television show.

but WTF they stole the name of map? 

Looks like it's a television spinoff based on the movie Blade. 

NotoriousRay please make another Quake map u rockzzz ;) 

Did anyone else get something in the mail from these people?

At least, the video clips are pathetically funny !!! 

OMG new Metroid, Mario, Yoshi's island and Starfox. Yaey!

And what the fuck four grown men are standing on the stage waving their hands playing tennis and what the fuck it looks awesome.

And yay Osu! Tatake! Ouendan! gets a western release! 

... you can't guess who is working on Starfox DS? ;)

I wish it were Quake DS though - with Nintendo modding Network.

Man, that presentation was the awesomest thing EVER. It crapped so hard (with bad diarrhea) onto Sony's PS3 presentation. 

are you working on Starfox DS 

I'm not sure I can answer that question yet. I can, however, reveal that I am working on a DS game at a company in Kyoto*.

*not neccessarily Nintendo. 

maybe i've missed something, but what about "for those who weep"? don't tell me you haven't worked on it in the last ~1,5 years.

-totally out of context, but i was just wondering... 

The gamespot feed I was watching ended up dying, so I only saw upto where they were about to pick the competition winner. Did I miss much after that? 

They picked a sweaty nerd from the audience and he got to play some tennis with Reggie, Iwata and Miyamoto. And the crazy thing is, it looked fucking awesome and cool.
And that was the end.

Than: bastard. 

czg: Are you on the team doing [q]The Darkness[/q]?

If so that would be awesome because that game looks fucking sweet as hell ok thanks.

I'm working on F.E.A.R. Extraction Point -- yay for Level Designers actually doing geometry \o/ 

I've just now gotten 3000 MB space / 250 GB bandwidth on a host that has been pretty solid for me before, and as I said back in August '05 I'd like to help a little and host some mappers.

However, before I do that I've decided I need to see what demand there is for this. I would only host a handful anyway, not like 25-50+.

So, who is interested? Based upon that I'll purchase the domain. 

The new Nintendo thing looks cool. I love Nintendo. They make THE best games ever. EVER. However, the "Wii"? WTF? That name is super gay.
Hot Chick: "Zwiffle, you wanna go out you super foxy mappist?"
Zwiffle: "No way baby, I gotta go home and play with my Wii."
That's just wrong, and I blame Nintendo for that happening in the future. That chick was hot (and 11).

Neg!ke: Huh? I lost that map when I moved on over to GtK. I was building that with Hammer, and when I switched I kinda lost all of my old Hammer maps. Kinda sad, I had like 5,000 - 6,000 brushes and no detail, and the layout IMO was pretty sweet. I had this one three-tiered room that bent around into two other areas that linked back over and under this other area you passed before, giving you a totally different view that gave way to this giant mechanical vagi... anyway, it was cool.

Oh well. Haven't worked on any maps since Christmas or so. Life sucks.
