Last time I talked to you, you said it would be out in two weeks. And that was more than two weeks ago.

Don't make me start a Release TronDM3 Petition. 

I'd give the q2 thing a shot at the very least 

Will check them out. And yes I've heard of Google but I was after personal advice to avoid suckage :P. 

avoiding suckage, asking at func... Yeeeeah.

snorting in a condescending fashion, waving a lacy hankie in front of powdered face. 

I've been using www.jhepple.com/AVI2MPEG.htm
like Von suggested, and like all the other converters I've tried, it manages to chance a 1.3 meg avi (compressed with Divx codec) into a 3.5 meg mpeg. Which is ridiculous. What is going on?? 

it's netgames@netdp.com, and thanks a lot ;) 

You sure you boys don' want no flapjacks? They's nice and hot! 

our next speedmapping session will take place soon

The time
8pm GMT on Saturday, 18th October
that corresponds to 9pm UK time, or 4pm EST
This earlier time seems good so we'll go with it for now

The place
on IRC, in #speedq1 on gamesnet.net

The plan
Make a map in 100 minutes or less.
No theme! Make whatever the hell you want.

If you can't make the session, make a map before and email it to me at starbuck@planetquake.com 

I demand MSN support for speedmapping!

Mainly because I can't actually get on IRC from uni :(

I presume you saw that bit where he said you could mail it in. 

Yeah, but it should be done at the time (really) 

Just completed it, its short but a fucking cool game, much better than the 1st one imo, and the havok physics make for some awesome cinematic gun battles. Go buy it now punks! 

I don't care when you make your speedmap, Grindspire, nor does Starbuck. We annouce it a bit early for this reason. Hanging out on the irc channel is just an extra layer of fun for the pack.


While on the subject, next week we'll be doing horror as the theme, like I've said before. But I mentioned to Starbuck that for Nov. we should do 4 weeks of 'classic' themes. What this means is first week we'll do Base as the theme. Then Mediviel. Then Goth/Zombie/Evil. and finally Elder world. Basically do all the standard themes from Quake's episodes in order (custom textures that fit themes would still be ok). Starbuck seemed all for the idea, can I get a yay/nay from the peanut gallery?

...can't believe someone went to the trouble to actually sign up again for that user name... heh.

i'll try to be there for the speedmapping tomorow. 

had no idea there was a Max Payne 2. First was nice, but... couldn't they have given him dynamic facial expressions instead of that CONSTANT EVILE CONSTIPATED LOOKING EXPRESSION!?

"I gotta take a mondo dookie but priorities first... gotta get my revenge.. ooh-HNNNGHHGHRRH... shhi.." 

 

That sounds really neat. 

Finished it yesterday, enjoyable experience. Graphically its a logical step up from Max1, yet you can run the game on a mid-level rig well. Gameplay wise I enjoy Bullet-Time 2.0 over the orginal. I guess alot of people don't enjoy it. I think its a great gameplay tweak. Basically Max moves in real time completely, while time slows down around him. The more kills, the futher into the zone he gets, and the slower the environment. The game is worth finishing alone for the fact that Dead Man Walking is just a kick ass add-on. Basically you spawn in 1 of 5 different chucks of levels, and just go at it with constantly spawning enemies. Hope to see people release some more maps for that mode at the very least, it would be simple enough.

Actual game is fairly short, as I'm sure you've read in every review. Still, it's chock full of good ole action. Finally some adult themes in a game too. "Bad words" such as fuck make an appearance, I guess this is a big deal to some people. Anyways, I encourage people to get it if you enjoyed the first in anyway. 

I noticed your Wolfenstein:ET map review site, first off cheers for reviewing custom maps for it, its taken me ages to find a half decent review site.

secondly, please could you put some *good* pictures of the maps up there so I can see what Im downloading? :)

Do you play these maps online or lan with them to test them? I am quite a "hardcore" ET player and want to know that maps wont suck as at work we have major smackdowns at lunch on this game :D 

Screenshots are in the DB, I just haven't added the code to display them yet. When ever I remember I'm always too busy. Like now. Anyone want to explain how I LU factorize a matrix?

My bro is responsible for most of the reviews. They're all played on standard servers. Not including the ones so bad that it's not worth the time. 

I am hereby boycotting Fat Controller's Quake Map Shed because he didn't mention my "recent" Q1SP map in any of his site updates, yet decided to p1mp other maps instead. It is an evident conspiracy and blatant attempt to belittle the impact of my stellar map upon the community.

So, Fatty, I have this to say to you: Nyer! 

did y'all miss me?

i just bought myself a new gaming rig. are there still q1 servers running custom maps? where?

easy,

odd of the GGH
