I'd advise against that. As you pointed out, maps *can* stand purely on their gameplay quality, so making a good playing Q1SP that looks like that dm4 shot would be a waste of time - and a torture for the players, who'd rather play a map that both looks good and plays well.

Case in point: Lun3DM2

with both a strong theme and a strong game, the map could have soared. 

Deliverys suck.

I particularly liked the "your item which you urgently wanted today is in a depot 10 miles away but no you can't possibly come to collect it but we can rearrange a delivery for which you'll almost certainly be out, sometime next week"

CUNTS. It's not fucking rocket science. I turn up, show proof of id, collect my shit that you fucked up the delivery on. Jeez.

I miss CZG. Vondur was resorting to posting ugly obese chicks last night, in your absence. 

I had the same situation, took about 2 weeks to finally get my "express" package. 

EDIT: FUCKING SHITTY PHONE DELETED ALL OF THIS SO NOW I HAVE TO TYPE IT A SECOND TIME.

Three things are missing:

1) Not gotten my RAM yet. Thought I could maybe use a stick of my old, but turned out that was ddr2 not 3.

2) There aren't any IDE connectors on this mobo, so can't use my old optical. This is dumb because I will literally only use it to install windows.

3) I ended up getting a GTX560Ti, and of course that needs a 12 pin lead from the PSU and I've got an 8 pin.

So close, yet so far... 

that needs a 12 pin lead from the PSU and I've got an 8 pin.
the heck? the connectors come with that little snap on bit to extend it to 12, no? 

I had to get new RAM. Get some Corsair 1600Mhz 2x2Gb kit @ 1.5v 9-9-9-24. Only cost me �38, which i why I suggest. Or you could get the special P67 2133Mhz one :)

I have to get a new DVDRW too cause mine was IDE. Only cost �12 for a half decent SATA. Luckily I bought a Blueray 4x (only reads DVDs @ 16x) a while ago so used that. Incidentally I have never put a blueray in it :S

ALSO:

Your 8pin can be converted to a 6pin with an inexpensive adapter, and for the other 6pin can be provided by a 2xmolex to 6pin adapter (you will DEFINATELY get altleast one of those adapters with your card. You probably got a SLI bridge with the mobo to, right?)

Your 8pin might be splittable, no? 

I've got a box of all kinds of random crap I've saved up over the years, i'll rummage through and look for a molex adapter. 

I found the super secret crate that had all the spare parts for the PSU and there was a second lead for the GPU. (It's modular.)
So now I could potentionally give it 16 pins, yay.

So now just the ram and optical. I could maybe get an usb enclosure, but that would be hella slow and a new one is dead cheap anyway. 

Am I going to die when I suck my thumb in my sleep? 

But surely your thumb is more likely to end up your ass, in your sleep??

Since I was pretty much raised on the pixellated graphics of C64 games and WinQuake, I have to say that qbism is the best engine (for me) to happen since Fitz.

I've been using qbism since the halloween release and love it. 

I actually get pretty good fps with it, too. Around 55-60 in venividifutzi. Underwater it goes down by about half, though. :p 

I switched gl_texturemode gl_nearest_mipmap_linear (or simply "3") a while ago. Much better than the blurry standard look. 

I can't believe how ugly and distorted textures look otherwise. Downside is that it makes screenshots bigger and videos harder to encode.

PS: I am working on my DM map collection which implies ......... yay! Got to find zip files for about 200 bsp files. Eg grindspire's (gimme!) and borsato's . 

Applying... 

I load up WinQuake and replay some maps in 320x200.

Zerstorer is all kinds of amazing that way, and Ruined Nation felt like a Quake 2 from a parallel dimension.
