RAGE 
Q4A meets Fallout3LITE. Looks good to me. Not amazing, but good. Seems they have toned down the driving bollox, this is a good thing. Main concern is the lack of big scary enemies. This is a post apocalyptic wasteland, where are the giant mutants?? 
Bland, Generic Quake 
From the doomworld forums:

I wish that id would have made Doom 3 back around 1996, with a new engine, but updating (read: not changing, but updating) and adding to everything that was great about the originals, rather than put out the bland, generic Quake. John Romero pretty much admitted that he stuck a Doom game in the new engine and they called it Quake. But it showed that the creativity wasn't there.

People are strange. 
Shaders 
Are just a name given to a group of textures that then get slapped on geometry. For example, a diffuse + emissive + environment map. 
Wtf Is Q4A 
 
It Is. 
A summation of recent Id / Id-style standard shooters. 
LOL

So basically he wanted an updated Doom game in a new engine...

...and then complains when someone made a, ummm, updated Doom game in a new engine :D 
 
Perhaps he's just not articulating himself too well ?

But it showed that the creativity wasn't there
I know what he's saying here though - the original levels are pretty meh in some ways.

Roblot's map is cool. That's a damn nice effect. 
 
Yes! Thing is that the box I was in at first rendered fullbright red for me or not at all. So I assume that was supposed to be some doom3ish glass effect in some other engine. I did stop and admire that "wicked cool effect that must be some *water hack". 
Glad Ya Likes It 
I still don't know all the bugs possible, but I have an Nvidia card that I'll test it in sometime later. I have 3 computer in the house (all ATI). Spirit, I didn't think I used fullbright on that, but I did. It plays correctly all times for me. It's just when I compile the .map that I have to restart the computer, load .map, and then compile straight away. If I do some editing I'll likely have no red glass at all in the .bsp (it's invisible).

Hacks are a handfull... 
 
I think the box the start player is in is too small, and that's the problem. Player may be a bit into the glass, so the glass disappears. 
Happy Bday 
14 years is a long road! 
Just A Teenager 
I got a rock in my hand. You know how old it is? 600 billion years old! 
5.5 Earthquake Rumble 
Rare where I live, but got one! I didn't notice it though. 
Coffee Is A Gateway Drug 
 
Hm 
I noticed one a while back... over here in Chile.

Then aftershocks for a month - one of them sounded like a stampede of trains going by underground.

Where are you?

Did you get to see the Chait�n volcano erupting back in 2008 or whenever was that?

Canadian news press hyped it while i posted. It was actually 5.0 and nothing as bad as the Chile one. Some phone video sent to news agencies also looked fake (them just shaking the phone and walking around). I lost my G20 summit rock. 
We Had A 6.8 Or Something 
a while back in Melbourne. First time its happened since I've been here and it was very noticeable! 
Holy Shit 
That looks like Armageddon.

The Chile one was apparently misrepresented by the government here - this is a conspiracy theory, but it seems plausible.

Basically they claim it was a 8something when really it was a 9something. The difference for the government is the 9 they have to pay to fix all damages - 8 they don't have to.

If it's the third strongest recorded and shifted the earth's axis then I'd guess 9 as opposed to 8.

Driving back the day after was freaky - lumps of road sticking up in the air, collapsed bridges and pedestrian flyovers etc.

A friend had the parking lot under his apartment partially collapse (nothing happened in the upper floors) - it crushed eight cars and left his unscratched. 
 
Idears for my next map? :)

My favorit themes are Maya stuff and metal but were the last two I've made :( 
Space ...The Final Frontier 
These, are the voyages, of the, Trinca Ship Enterprises. To go, boldly, over there, with hatchet, in hand. 
Trinca 
Try something you never tried... like space ship, or futuristic base map :) 
 
Didn't Trinca do that map with the Cyberdemons on board a futuristic-base space ship map?

Or was that Madfox? Or someone else completely? 
JPL 
 
It Gets Foggier 
...as you play more and more maps for sure.
The Inspiration and Reference link has lots of ideas too.

I like Quoth a lot, but doubt there can be much added to it because it's maxed out in size. The only thing I can think of is having the present version (2.1), a base only version, and a rune only version. Then, more content can be added to the specific other 2 versions. Hellsmash is a great mod, and to see it added to Quoth Base, would be excellent. Mappers can choose what version fits their ideas best.
