Well I haven't been playing because I've been too busy with finals and final projects. Now that I'm through with that, I should be able to play almost every weekend.
I've finally released my first -- and possibly last -- Quake 3 map, Massaggio Galore. It's a cute little pointy thing, all puffed up and crumbly on the edges. No, really -- check it out at http://www.planetquake.com/biff and see what I'm talking about =)
I love you guys and everything, but don't stop posting! Its quiet around here, tooo quiet....

http://scampie.spawnpoint.org/screens/dodecahedron_tutorial.jpg I thought it was interesting when I read the new TIME magazine today, that they covered E3 and did not mention Doom3. Halflife2, Sims2, and some sim game revolving around filmmaking which looked disfunctional to me.
Anyhow, does it seem to anyone else that we have the most promising batch of PC possibilities coming in the fall? It has been years since I was excited for releases like this. Doom3, HL2, HaloPC. When the hell is DeusEx2 coming out? Also, was surprised that all the games covered in TIME magazine were PC, no console games mentioned. EDIT THE ABOVE POST thanks

(This has nothing to do with manhattan project appearing on torrentse some time ago. Nah-ah, I swear! Honest! Really! Uh-huh!)
Duke Nukem is a fuckwad, and I trule hate his entire person with all my seven inches of might. But Manhattan Project, whoo that's a good game! Very very very excellent old style 2D platform gameplay with hot hot hot new 3D graphics. Just the kind of game that I have been lusting for. So yeah, f'ing excellent stuff! (Even if it had been a hojillion times better if it didn't include Duke himself...) Go get it! I thought it was interesting when I read the new TIME magazine today, that they covered E3 and did not mention Doom3.
That's probably becuase doom3 was barely present at the [expo part of the] show -- they had one little unmanned display case with a couple of TVs playing a video loop. Yes, Manhattan Project was a refreshing change. Old skool meets new-fangled stuff. I wish the monsters had been a bit cooler, though, and that the gameplay was a bit more in-depth. Also, more control over where you look and fire would have been nice. But there was nice use of the camera system which added some depth and variety to the traditional side scroller.
Overall a tops game, though. People should get it. i would also imagine the people who write for TIME magazine know very little about video or computer gaming in general.
I would also imagigine that you know very little about the people who write for TIME magazine, in general.
Just curious how you would come to that conclussion, apart from the fact that they omitted mention of certain games. People who play, say, racing games or RPG games exclusively, may never mention FPS games, doesn't mean they know little about "computer gaming in general" I had one recently, it was called QuakeOn I *think* - with the gibbed player head guide guy.. don't recall where I got it..
QuakeOn is good, I used it for a long time. It's good if you have loads of mods and/or lots of different engines.
Oh, and the Quake Head helper guy is funny.
