I fell out with the map, so someone please test, then I can finish already and start working on a better idea!!

Please :-) 

If it's not a base map, I'd love some playing. I got a cold though so my skills and patience will be severely different, heh. 

"Stark Monstrosity"

Gah - I set out to make an episode. It was gonna be the first map of an episode, which naturally is a base map.
Problem is that I have fallen out with the map completely, and just want to get it out. I mean released.

When I started making it I was distracted by my bloody shit rock band I was in, and mapping had taken a side-line. The lack of focus I think shows here. The map has its strong points, but it also has its weak points.

Lateral thinking required to complete it, VERY non-linear, but with overall linear progression.

Gameplay needs work, hence need for and early tester.

Spirit you are a good tester, but like I said its a HUGE and UGLY base map! :P

Its not stifled by limited ammo or space BTW, its not meant to be a skin-o-your teeth prescision-balanced affair. Its just fast and violent.

Send or not? 

I wouldn't treat a base map fairly. 

but at least that one inspired one of the most beautiful phrases I have recently seen:

a mixture of sequel focussing, lowest common demonination zeitgeisting that will horribly offend . . .  

And besides we all know what the number 1 first person shooter is. 

containing only Turok games, multiple times each if necessary. In each entry, I will explain why this particular edition of Turok is more groundbreaking and important to the genre than Doom, Quake, Half-Life, Halo, Thief, SS2 or Deus Ex. Turok 3: Rage wars has a weapon with is a boomerang! Does Half-Life 2 have that? Does it fuck. 

er *which* is a boomerang. Wow, that's amazing and groundbreaking even the 2nd time I've written it. 

the stupidness of that list is extraordinaire 

that's stupidity :D 

I've managed to resist firing up Firefox so far. 

I like the idea of the lowest common demonination, like some worst possible shared hell...

But yeh, I meant denomination.


Yes. Denomination.

I like the overtones of religious factionalisation and deification ('Carmack is God!') that typify the FPS scene(s) (especially the early days of Duke vs Quake vs Unreal).

Still feel so god damn smart? Bunch of damn philipines... 

obviously a list written by a 12 year old who never actually played a real FPS game. Where the fuck is Dear Hunter? 

DEER Hunter. 

Thats where you play an agony aunt called Mandy Hunter who runs around flogging infidel boyfriends or something...... ? 

But yeh, I meant denomination.


Yes. Denomination.


Don't sweat it. I thought it was a minor case of letter inversion not worth quibbling over. 

I think you actually meant Denominator. But hey, whatever. 

mnemonite nom nom ..what? 

Zombies say "Nom!" as they are gibbed. 

Manamana 

zombies groan ZOM

Manyanas

RickyT...mail! 

denomenation a phenomenon like neezing...
you can't commit it on command,
but also you can't avoid it.
Like the zombie, who neezes "zom", and well...

denomination 

I think you actually meant Denominator. But hey, whatever.

Actually I specifically didn't, hence the second bit about religious overtones, I assumed that's what they were getting at rather than the letter switch (which took me several re-readings of Headthump's post to spot).

But tbh, I've now been entirely outdone by Madfox's poem anyway... 

And on a far more important note, Shambler uses IE? The fuck is wrong with you? 

I click on it, it displays webpages.

Apart from this one that's got everyone so irate ;)
