To a degree, I can understand the typical American sentiment of "I need my gun". But I also think that a gun is too often a bad substitute for self esteem and social skills. Not always, of course, but often.

I agree with every thing you said in the above post. I was speaking of the most extreme conditions and the need to be able to be flexible in your options.

I had a manager, at my first real job actually, whose family came to America from Hungary. He recalled that before the Soviets invaded in '56 that his dad buried several weapons in a nearby wooded area in anticipation of the Soviets invasion.

When it went down, he weighed his own options, fight or flight. He had a young family and decided the better part of valor was leaving with his family intact, and not once did he ever regret that decision.

In most cases, that is what I would recommend as well. Only when you have your back up against a wall, or when others would be adversely affected by your decision would I really say doing otherwise is the right course of action. 

does "mobbed" mean the same as "bullied?" 

I was assuming so, although the word does suggest purely physical bullying (rather narrowing understanding imo) 

you can bully a mob but you cant get mobbed by a single bully.

you could however get mobbed by bullies which would be worse.

far worse. 

oh heh :) 

This is an awesome fan made short movie that includes a lot of references to the Half-Life series, and has some incredible CGI to boot, what is in the box???!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU_reTt7Hj4 

that's some pretty good integration with the cgi in there. 

I just checked through all the Quoth releases (maps) up to today and noticed that (except for Ricky's first release dejavu10) they are all very well packaged. Either they can be extracted right to quoth/maps/ or just into quoth/
Random thanks for that. :) 

are there any engines that have -quoth yet? i only know of the new fitzquake that does that, but i think i recall someone else supporting it.

i was planning on releasing my next map in it's own pak file to be run with -quoth -game xxxx but i guess i'd have to have 2 seperate versions for different engines, one in a pak file and one with loose files to be dumped into /quoth. 

but i think i recall someone else supporting it.
aguirRe's engine supports '-quoth' option 

Fitz, aguirRe's and jdhack's upcoming engine support it. In Darkplaces you can use "-hipnotic -game quoth -game yours". That's enough for everyone. :) 

i didn't know that about darkplaces!

i'd say that's probably the preferable way to do it, instead of adding a -whatever every time someone comes out with a mod. allowing multiple -game's is nice.

March 30th is the cutoff date, this is mainly a heads up to any mappers / modders who have content hosted by them. 

Tonight are the finals of the Quake Nations Cup. So do yourself a favour and watch it.

For QTV just install EZQuake and open the link with it.

Alternatively you can watch the live stream at http://www.quakeworld.nu/live/ 

...holy fucking shit that is the ugliest thing ever. I suppose it's impossible to re-do it as actually QUAKE on the live stream version :( 

You could have just watched it with EZQuake and its faithful settings, you gigantic vulva yeast infection!
The stream looks like that because a) it is easier to see and b) video compression likes lego.
Also this is QuakeWorld and not Quake. QW has evolved over the years. Don't compare it. 

you gigantic vulva yeast infection!

As far as insults go that is fairly epic. 

Over-exaggerating takes off the top.

Plus epic insults are a mandatory requirement for insulting the one and only master Shambler. 

I am thinking it is maybe time to rebirth the old "Should Shambler Be Banned From Creating Threads?" thread.. or can we update it as "Should Shambler Be Banned From Func_".. ?
though ;) 

I'm in the living room of me mums old house, the way it looked many years ago. I turn on the TV, sit down. There is a music video, it appears to be a Mexican band singing in English, but it is actually Phil Collins and Genesis in disguise. They have a crowd gathered around them in a plaza. I think this may be a riff off of an actual Genesis video.

The song is a full blown song with versus and chorus, and all I can remember is the repeating choral line, 'I find you nice and easy to relate to.' It sounds like Genesis, and the song is lame enough to have been an actual later day Genesis tune.

I notice my grandmother sitting in a chair nearby, and I turn the music down out of deference. My nephew is also sitting on the couch near me.

I strike up a conversation with my grandmother, we talk for a few minutes, and then it everything goes silent for a moment. My nephew gets my attention.

"That is Miss Mildred, right?"

I say yeah, confused that he wouldn't recognize her.

"She has been dead for twenty years."

I start to feel uncomfortable, and my nephew chuckles, and states: "You're dreaming, dude."

At which point I wake up. 

HeadThump drugs with alcool is not good... 

and so did the guy who is fitting the kitchen and causing loads of power failures. Not that its his fault that the power keeps failing, but the people who fitted the last kitchen.

I dreamed that me and some of my freinds were talking to the ghost of my freind who topped himself.

And the guy who is fitting the kitchen dreamed his wife was going to leave him.

But both him and I commented on how vivid and real seeming the dreams were.

Maybe its got something to do with the position of the moon atm, or whatever.....
