I am getting a bit of a geek-crush on the smoothly spoken Englishman that is DAZ with his insightful and thought-provoking series of derping around missing all the secrets and even items that are right in front of him errrr I mean talking about mapping while playing cool levels. So I thought his channel was worth it's own seperate thread - entertaining for players and mapping veterans, and potentially very useful for newer mappers as DAZ does offer some really good views on mapping theory. Also DAZ go ahead and put all your updates in here.

Also WTF mapping project are you working on!?! :P

Funny you should ask that, of all people.

Its A HL2 Map

cue groans and sarcastic remarks ;)

Something that stood out to me as good layout that you didn't mention: the first two-button progression block also has a symmetrical set of doors associated with it, so no matter which button you hit last, you're right next to one of the doors when they both open.

You also didn't explain "Westwoo00o0oo0000oo0od!" (because viewers really want to know about obscure #terrafusion jokes).

I had no idea what that westwood thing was all about. Scampie explained it in the comments :)

I think Westwoo00o0oo0000oo0od is more of a "I listened to Radio 1 in the 90s" joke?

Debrisssss.

Derpbris!

Nice spawn/fiend kill in the final battle there. The final arena might be relatively easy but it still looks like fun pacing.

Hey, what was the map in the "B roll" Quake footage that you were playing during your recent status update? It looked familiar but I'm blanking on it.

DAZ, What Graphics Card Were You Runnning?

#100 posted by damage_inc on 2014/02/28 02:41:56

Just saw on your channel that you lost yours :(

#101 posted by Joel B on 2014/02/28 04:36:14

Well no wonder it looked familiar. :-)

I had an nvidia 460 which served me heroically for 4 years before it popped :)

I'm playing around with different driver versions for this current backup card I'm using. Trying to find a driver that doesn't lock my pc up when playing Quake... If successful then I can at least keep doing Quake stuff for teh time being!

Mr. Daz

If we can figure out the details. I'm across the pond from you ;)

Let me know.

Thanks!

I'm honestly pretty bowled over by the amount of offers of donations and other help that people have offered both from the quake scene and elsewhere. I had absolutely no idea! I'm really not sure how to deal with it honestly!

As of right now I am waiting to hear back from Mateusz (the guy who runs level-design.org) as he may be able to spring an unused gpu from his work for me which would be fantastic.

Thank you everyone for the generosity! Fingers crossed I can ello guys once again soon :)

The Only Reason Anyone Maps

#111 posted by FifthElephant on 2014/03/02 01:40:06

is so they can see a flyover of it on youtube with you saying ello guys over it.

You're Welcome DaZ

#112 posted by damage_inc on 2014/03/02 17:29:04

But if that doesn't work out(card from Mateusz), let me know. I'll get you a card asap ;)

you're the new Shambler; you've achieved the rank of most-important-critic, whose review work encourages q1sp mapping

(no offense to Spirit who I would not consider a reviewer but rather an archivist, and who has no parallel new or old)

Poor Daz.

Thanks to negke who provided a tool to underclock my gpu so it wouldn't crash while playing Quake :)

FFS.
