congrats scampie... raven is definitely a company you could brag about working for. Bonus points are availible if you sneak into the quake 4 division and blackmail them into basing the game off quake 1, despite years of work in another direction. Promotions all round! 

I was offering gmail invites a month ago! What, were mine not good enough for you? Humpf. 

Blame Canada. It is the only way. 

I have 6, any takers? 

really, I didnt even know what it was till a couple of weeks ago when my brother showed me. 

...it's official, the majority of Australians care more for an imagined threat to their hip pocket than human dignity, cultural & intellectual diversity, the environmrnt, and peace. Nice one... morons!

/me starts research scholarships in some of the more enlightened European states. 

give me a gmail invite. I surrender. 

the environmentalist movement does appear to be at a stand still at this time.

Maybe, they can get Dupont to fund them stop Freon production. Oh yes, that has already been done.

Or the Saudi Royal family to fund their lobbying against drilling for oil in your country as they have done in mine.

Hang in their, I'm sure some one will come around the corner and find a means to profit from fear. 

...HeadThump, you missed my point. Someone already has. 

it is probably slightly unfair of me to list the actions of the environmentalist lobby as particurly vile because as a species, lobbyist of any stripe would sell the rest of us out to space aliens if the aliens named the right price ($2.50!).

Don't let the elections get you down, it is only politics.

Even though the DOOM 3 SDK is still missing in action, the DOOM3[CC] guys are gearing up to release the first version of their mod which will offer full text transcription of every piece of audio in the game for deaf / hearing impared gamers.

Which is a nice change after the 57th "omg cs with like 50 weapons and stuff" mod. 

christopher reeve just died of heart failure 

Hmm, how does it work exactly? Becuase it just occured to me that i don't see it in my inbox yet and i might have reflexively deleted it if it looked kind of like spam. 

Subject was: John, Dan Naumov has invited you to open a Google mail account 

I'll take one of the invites - hotmail is getting too erratic.

I e-mailed you with my e-mail address. 

Invitation sent.

I still have 3 more invites for those who want them. 

Let's all welcome our newest addition to the Moderation team here at Func_Qmap, nitin!

Nitin was a mod at Qmap oh so long ago, and was always the one posting all the newest maps released, many of which from non-Quake games. I'm glad to have him here to help add to our diversity. 

Umm... Good job. 

This is a good news... It's better to have 2 moderators than "one and a half": the "half" is Scampie who will be for sure very busy when he will start his new job, and will not be able to spend time with us as he do now... So, congratulations nitin... 

It's a pleasure to have you moderate me. (Not intended to sound sexual) 

Truly the most respected and useful non-mapper in the mapping scene =). 

I thought that was you Shambler?... no wait, nevermind...

yay for nitin! 

I vow to only abuse my power at random!

And Shambler, stop being so modest, your contributions are much more worthwhile.
