Stop stealing my posts.

Also, I should still have it. 
Never Mind The Bollocks 
Since I know how to use a FTP prog, I uploaded it again to http://stud.aitel.hist.no/~christig/dLoads/terra-x.zip 
YAY thats it!
Good Stuff CZG
Is it still a work in progress?
IE. would you accept submissions of maps from other authors?
Also, was your plan to have an episode in each of the three styles of your 3 maps? 
If Only For The Title... 
 
Is it still a work in progress?
Yeah, but I haven't touched any of them in a year or so now.

IE. would you accept submissions of maps from other authors?
Well, I was going to do that at the start, that's why I shared these three levels so people might want to tag along to make an episode of minimaps. Nothing really happened with that though, so if I ever finish it it'll prolly be a set of levels just from me. Also I don't want to try and organize any 'community map pack' because then I'd end up with 2-3 maps from other people laying rotten on my HD for a few years until I myself can be arsed to finish it up, and I don't want the blame for that. : /

Also, was your plan to have an episode in each of the three styles of your 3 maps?
No, not really. The plan was to make an E1-ish episode; Progress from base, through medieval, to runic. Only this would be with smaller, (perhaps) more polished maps. I was aiming for 7-8 maps. So far I've got 4 finished + 3 cancelled + 1 in progress + 1 that evolved into februus.

Mmmm, video gamers who are socially active and would spend hundreds of dollars to get to a social event in "not killing each other" shock.

Of course violent video games don't incite Hulk-like rage in *everyone*... but are they enough to tip latent psychos over the edge? 
LTH 
Seeing a butterfly is enough to tip some latent psychos over the edge. 
The Question... 
isn't really whether video games can provide the necessary stimulus for an already violent person to go out and kill people. They obviously can. And if there weren't any violent video games, then something else (football, religion, butterflies, racism, etc.) would push the same people over the edge anyway.

But are the positive effects of video game violence even worth trading off with the negative, no matter how demonstrably small the latter may be? 
Fun > You 
Considering said tradeoff can only really ever be made at the personal level, the point is moot. 
The More Relevant Question 
'But are the positive effects of video game violence even worth trading off with the negative, no matter how demonstrably small the latter may be?'

Is increasing the power of already over activistic governments over the choices you make in your life worth it in regard to solving a non existent problem? 
Eh, I Blame Sheryl Crow 
for my bad spelling in the morning. I took 'I like a good beer buzz early in the morning' a little too literally. 
 
nb - No, it's not, because a latent psycho would make the 'wrong' choice :)

HeadThump - good, yes, let's let companies rule the world. Bye-bye Medicare, NHS, free education, food stamps, welfare..... 
Companies Completely Take Over 
...and hello porn in advertisments!

I'll take that trade off 
So You Are Saying 
to even be cautious in the matter of expanding government power threatens the existence of 'Medicare, NHS, free education, food stamps, welfare.....' and leaves us at the mercy of Robber Barons? 
Amen Scampie 
People complain about advertisements and commercials but that is governments fault too. They band the use of subliminals. If companies were allowed to use subliminals, they could make commercials at 1/3000th the length of current commercials, and more effectively pull you in at well. Another example of market effeciency being undermined by the government. 
Eh, Too Much Guinness For This Mic-Spic 
that's 'banned' 
Yes But 
Then we'd all be knife-edge psychos. They might as well put fet in the water supply, consdering how twitchy we'd all be... 
 
(of course, this is a moot point for Scampie) 
Eh, 
'Then we'd all be knife-edge psychos.'

a little blood letting is good for your bodies' humours, any medical professional could tell you that. 
VOTE FOR QUAKE@!@! HURRY! YOU CAN VOTE MORE THAN ONCE! 
I've Been Searching The Internet Like Crazy... 
And I can't find any 'hello porn' anywhere, scampie. 
Anyone Know Where I Can Find These?

XeNoN's 100b map with the Q2 textures

thanx 
Fern: 
xnq1002 is here: http://xen.quakepit.com/ - third one along in the Quake Maps section.

Can't help with Kell's I'm afraid but I'm sure someone on this site will have it. 
By The Way 
It didn't actually use any Q2 textures, technically... the waste theme came from Xatrix. Which is sorta Q2 but.. mm. 
Ahhhh 
Thanks for the link Xen, yes I always confuse Q2 and Xatrix, sorry. :) If anyone can mail me Kell's map I'll put it on suspenlute.com. ty
