sounds like a bit of a dumbass. Insinuating you're gonna pirate someone's game to their [interwebical manifestation of a] face isn't gonna help shit. 

Can't imagine anyone jokingly imply that they'd pirate an epic game and then recieving an over-reaction in response...

Giggle 

Like I said, I imagine there's more to the story here. 

Yeah or the dude is just talking out of his ass..... trying to be clever like. 

Oh of course, it's an entirely one sided account on the internets (for amusement, see if you can get hold of the emails in question, altho I doubt it (privacy of blah)). But in any case, there is a difference between winding up an individual and telling the communications department of a corporate entity that you're going to steal their products... 

let's not forget the other obvious truth here. at this point, epic really doesn't have to care either way. these aren't the days of jill of the jungle anymore. (although, that's still a damn fun game!) 

Customer acts like a dick, complains when he's treated like he's acting like a dick. 

Sure most of you have seen this, but here it is anyway:

I like the first team's name. THe video sucks though. 

Rapture by Kona and Tronyn 

deserve their own thread.

great episode - baron bosses were excellent as was the overall atmosphere & build quality. the thing that spoiled it for me was having an end map with no monsters in when i was expecting some kind of uber-boss presiding over the four barons. i just remember a massive sinking feeling when i fired up that final map and pressed tab only to see 0/0 kills :( 

I know what you are trying to do! 

new old q1sp, someone take more screens and make a news post: http://www.quaddicted.com/quake-maps/the-snowy-dream-by-vie888/

It's nice! 

Below average map design and extremely frustrating gameplay. I don't remember the Nehahra AI to be this annoying (neither do I think BJP's engine is responsible for this), so I assume it has been tampered with? 

No, that is the stock Nehahra AI. Use nomonsters 1 to make it less evil. Don't judge this by the first map. 

Strange, because I did enjoy the new AI when I first played Nehahra. Now, however, it just feels like total shit. At least the base enemies.

And I actually played through all three maps of Snowy Dream (on god mode). There were a few areas that looked kind of interesting, but most of it was pretty meh. I also thought the story centerprints were a bit silly; they reminded me of early negke/RickyT23 maps, which is an additional minus. :D

This was good:

// somedev1 - 6/7/02 Adding temporary tracking of Login screen
// somedev2 - 5/22/07 Temporary my ass 

A few of those made me lol at work. Passed them onto Frik, if he hasn't seen them he will probably get some amusement from them. 

finally its done! yay! 

I am going to Taipei, Shanghai then Hong Kong, in that order. I will have to make snap decisions on the new technology that I intend buying - tablet notebook, phone, motherboard, anything that takes my fancy etc.

Anyone got any insight into which would be the best of the three in terms of technology available, and of course, price? 

i would imagine that shanghai would be cheapest and taipei would have the most variety. but don't really know, and hong kong will certainly have quite a range! 

Best Q3 movie I ever saw: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1893342

Shame that they are still skipping angles and package things in rar archivies. Also the low fov(?) makes watching very stressful for my brain. But apart from that, a masterpiece! 

no hud or crosshair? check.
blah music? check (i actually like the music, but it doesn't fit quake or the movie at all)
promode? check.
stupid graphic mods? check.
machinima style stuff? check.
random frags? check.
