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. 

I was expecting Q2 grittiness, not these pretty shots 

<Kell> what's the secret message then?
<RPG> Starbuck was looking for secret messages in my reviews, so I included one in that review. If you take the first word from each paragraph, you get "There Is None" 

It's god's way of trying to stop you making evil satanic maps. Don't let it stop you, even if it's at the cost of your immortal soul 

Weird coincidences have been occuring lately...

You know that horde test map I was just showing in the bees III thread - well, in its first incarnation, I compiled it, then checked out the qbsp log for some reason, and lo and behold, the "entdata" was "666". I shit you not. o_O

I then altered it a bit, and the entdata became a non-evil number again, and I thought no more of it.

Meanwhile, a storm began brewing, and not long after...well you know the rest.

o_O 

he wants you to map his new house. 

And now the forces of Good and Light are trying to balance the universe. 

You kids and your satanic, violent video games! Repent now, stop this filth! Jesus loves all of you!

H..Hold up, a fiend is giving me a violent colonoscopy, I gotta slap him down. 

you wrote fiend, i read friend 

During a blue moon.
