"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. 

...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 

 

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). 

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. 

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.

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. 

DMC's weapons ported to Quake when? 

Who would thought talking about weather effects would induce Spike to patch up Quakespasm to do this:

Crazy. 

I can only hope that the community uses these newfound powers with great care and responsibility...
or we DarkPlaces now, bois

All jokes aside, it's pretty cool to see stuff like that. I can't say I'm a fan of any of the particles in the videos here or in the other thread, but that doesn't mean that the tools can't be used to make some great stuff.
