...but I'll be a happier Shambler if someone can help me out here:

My Task Manager only stays on screen for a second or two before disappearing, whether I summon it via ctrl-alt-delete, or through the taskbar menu. Obviously this is a pain in the arse as I can't use it to close programs or anything else. WTF has happened to it and how can I fix it?? 

Nevermind, rampantly homosexual virus thing, think I've got rid of it. How pathetic.

I microwaved Peeps, on paper plates, and then put them up on a wall.

I caught some Neutrino's, and asked if Shambler started a Shadow Report, with photographs of its client board surfers... 

i'm trying to locate a specific model, but i can't remember in which mod or map pack it was in.

i remember the maps were egyptian themed. the monster itself was some kind of egyptian dude and he wielded some kind of staff. i don't remember if the staff actually shot anything or he just smacked you around with it. he was a boss monster, and you fought him in a small/medium sized arena.
i think he came out of a sarcophogus.

anyone know what i'm talking about? 

I played disolution of eternity, but that sounds about right 

yeah, i thought so too, but i had already checked out all the likely models from doe... heh, figures they'd be called "morph_xx"

now it just needs to be reskinned so that it's decent. :) 

...Fatty should be able to give you the works on that particular boss. He used them in OUM. 

OUM would be what you're thinking about necros. It's only the last map that's egyptian though. 

Raving homosexual. Crap idea. Fucking hippy bollox. Nothing to do with Quake.

So stupid I'm surprised Kona didn't put on in every map. 

Anyone know where I can find Rotpig's maps and/or site?

I'm talking about the ton of DM maps he did before that. :) 

... try to email him using this page... perhaps you have done it yet...

I get the impression you don't care for the Pharoah or whatever they call that guy. If you could be so kind to take the time, what custom monster do you find tolerable?

My personal favorite is the hunter from Nehahra. Great looking walk cycle and a tough and fair son of a bitch to fight. 

[...] what custom monster do you find tolerable?

*ahem*

You're asking a guy named Shambler what his favorite monster is? 

who's the hottest porkyworth mapper... 

By custom, I meant one that doesn't come as one of the stock monsters in the game. 

Sorry, I lied. That is just a warm up for April Fools and a dearly hoped dream of mine. 

Headthump: The Zer. MegaEnforcers and the mission pack 1 Nail Scorpions are the only worthwhile custom enemies that fit into Quake. I don't consider Rocket/Nail/whatever Grunts or Nail Orges to really be 'custom' monsters, but they're also good if used well.
