Yeah! I have always loved Pink Floyd.
Made a few maps with titles from Floyd,
Pow r Toc h, Set the Controls and the above Careful...! Any more? Hmmm... don't remember.

My TCC at college, back in 1995, was a strategy 2D game in Visual Basic, called Sysyphus. 
8-) Nice! 
 
 
The Division Bell would be a great map title. Imagine a map split in two by a huge chasm, with a tall steeple in the middle. Of course, the bell would go bong! bong! either during the whole game or only for the final fight. 
Floyd 
"The Final Cut", "Terminal Frost", "In The Flesh", "The Thin Ice" would all make pretty decent names, I think. 
 
Another Brick in the Wall could be used for a Backsteingotik-inspired map. 
Just Played... 
...Down the Ratbit Hole by neg!ke (obviously, this was before his amputation) from the sm100 turtle map event in July 2005.

Really liked the architecture - my kind of map - but when I got to the rat, and after reading all the messages, I shot at it, I got a MOVETYPE_PUSH error and crash.

I tried again and started shooting before the messages and everything went OK.

When I came the final battle I had one Shambler left but 7 health and no ammo. So I had to run away and search the map for any leftovers. Eventually, I found some and returned to get the last Shambler only to find another one teleported in as a backup. I managed to kill it with the very last of my ammo.

Good map from a time gone by 
Amputation?

You must have played the version from the turtlemap pack then. There's a standalone version where that crash bug is fixed. It was caused by a rogue brushless door entity and often occured when using grenades in the rat room.
Why I used an awkwardly clipping trigger instead of making the rat a func_button is beyond me.

Shame about the lighting and grindy gameplay in teh map, but then again, not bad for one week (including the loss and subsequent rebuilding of 1/3 of the map after an editor save mishap). 
Negke 
Although the crash surprised me, it did not spoil my enjoyment of the map. Well done.

Mugwump:
Once upon a time, in a world far away, Neg!ke was playing with scissors. Now we all get taught at school never to run with scissors in your hand but Neg!ke would not listen; he thought he knew better than his teacher. Well, guess what; he didn't.

He ran with scissors, fell over and Neg!ke became Negke. 
D'oh 
The exclamation mark, of course! I thought you might be talking about a real amputation. That would've sucked.

Nice story BTW. Some others make a living out of Running With Scissors.

It would seem spammers are on a roll today...

...Hangover Devastation by Ankh.

Good monster placement, and nice architecture. Liked it. 
Deathmatch Classic's Unusable Leftovers Of 3WaveCTF Has Been Recreated 
 
Ha ha holy crap.

I do really want to poke around in those maps. I lived in the original 3wctf maps for a while back in the day. 
 
I've been looking into DMC only recently. It has very interesting Quake weapon remakes. The designs are closer to the later titles such as UT or even Quake's own sequels, but still very good.
