there's some recently released kickass maps too.

Oh, and...

bees. 

There's three Doom3-oriented discussion threads at the moment - being a yur'peen I haven't played it yet ('cause it ain't out over here until the 13th) but I intend to check it out when I can afford the hardware. 

For me , DooM3 is without a doubt the best gaming experience I have ever had. It was totally awesome, and the atmosfear (spelling intended)was IMO without equal. If you can, I suggest you get it, send the wife and kid away, take a week off, lock the doors, have the sound up loud enough that you can't hear anything from the outside world, try to keep any light out of your playing area, then press play 

Thanks for the info and your comments guys... Sure I will try to get DooM3 as quick as possible to try it... As I posted it past 4 weeks, I've seen a video of the demo (with the real game, a real PC, a real player...) and yes, I agree with you VoreLord, the atmosfear have no equal today !!
Sure children will make nightmares with this hell game.... he he he ... cool....

Was pretty good for its particular generation. My complaint, and maybe I should have clarified, was the use of high definition CGI 'concept' art in that article and obviously passing it off as representing a typical screenshot. 

Unreal engine 3 shots in no way show Unreal3. they're only showing off the engine, atm they haven't even begun to work on an Unreal 3 game... the first game to use the technology won't even be Unreal3 

Have you received any of my last three emails? 

hot on the heels of Deja Vu Revisited is a 3map pack :

Nope. Are you sending to tyrann at planetquake dot com? I'll bet it's a problem with their mail server - I can't seem to send myself anything through that address either. Hang on a bit and I'll send you a mail from my home address you can reply to. 

PlanetQuake has a new Q1SP LotW review this week. This time it's NotoriousRay's Hexameron: Phase One. Definitely a map you should check out, if you haven't already.

In other news, this might be my last review. I haven't particularly enjoyed it, and trying to coordinate reviews has turned into a nightmare. There are so many good Q1SP maps that deserve to get the LotW award, but I don't have the energy, and in a short while I may not have the time. I'll try to do reviews when I can, but if someone wants to do a guest review, just pick a map, write a review, and send it to me.

P.S. I included a secret message in this review just for Starbuck. 

Nice one for doing them while you could. 

TIN? 

You're more clever than I am, I couldn't see it. 

"At least Id quality"

I think it's about time I retrospectively copyrighted that phrase and claimed royalties off all you lot. At a few quid a throw, well I'll be eating top notch curries for the next year I reckon.

It seems to be an SDA ( http://www.planetquake.com/sda )map and it's seriously difficult to finish with 100% kills, at least for me ... 

Look again. 

by stating,

at the minimum, as good as 3DRealms

Keep the Internet Free! 

but my brain hasnt spotted the hidden message yet :P
(i even opened the screenshot and messed with the brightness/contrast :)) 

As far as "coordinating the reviews has been a nightmare," cut me a break.

You're the only one who has released a good DM map in a while besides the people I've already reviewed. A weekly DM review is unreasonable considering the output of new/quality maps. I'll be glad to do it every month. 

It's like Blitz's secret message, but slightly different. 

ok, just to shit me about, God, in his infinite wisdom, decided to send a bolt of lightning up the phoneline and into my computer during a thunderstorm, frying my modem and god-knows-what-else in the the process. All this, exactly one week before I'm due to get hooked up with a broadband connection. Life is funny like that.

Anyway, this is just to say any emails to me can be directed to: bdwooding (at) hotmail (dot) com - i probably won't get a chance to check them that frequently on this POS computer that i'm currently using to write this, but just to let you know.

Regarding my maps etc., well all that stuff gets backed up daily, so I didn't lose any of that thank god.

The really shitty part is that I was using a surge protector, but the phone connector on the unit broke only a few days ago, so I had to plug my phone line directly into the wall socket - thus when the electrical surge travelled up the phoneline, it was able to fux0r my computer unhindered. >:| 

god truly has a peculiar sense of humour... 

hey guys,

Its been forever since I regularly visited this site, but started working on a Q3 map recently. Its actually a port of one of my old Q2 maps "Deep Freeze". Thought I would share a few pics of its progress. Still needs work on lighting as its a bit dark in places.

Been there, done that. Hopefully your PC isn't as bad off as mine was. Best wishes with getting your computer situation back to normal. 

but I feel that loss as if it were my own.
