(I'm old.) 

Was great. Regenerating bricks - says it all.

What were the bad guys supposed to be again? Cyborgs? I think it was either that or Dr Who Cybermen where I first heard the concept. 

You are only as old as the youngest woman who lets you bang her which makes me about 26 at the present time :) 

And I don't see how Willem counts, seeing as he changed his nick and all. Yeah.

Cunt.

Started posting at the Electric Fish messageboard and then followed the discussions through their various iterations to here.

I'm always surprised by how many of the same names are still in #terrafusion 

i was downloading stuff off SPQ (matt sefton's site) and talon's after quake came out. Then once spq sort of closed down after q2 and unreal came out I left. Then came back after somehow stumbling onto shambler's site and basically downloading a few years worth of levels :)

still here. 

haha yeah i remember spq, talons, crash. awoq and awoq2 were my favs. still have all those website archived on my comp :D

lol tronyn, yeah shambler refused to review my first release too, he said he was offended i even suggested he'd review it. i held a grudge ever since, lol, even though looking back now it was a piece of shit episode. i can't believe some guys put out such good first releases - it took me a good dozen or so maps before i actually started doing anything good.

that was way back in 98, though i do remember playing carmen sandiago and spear of destiny :D 

Did you get my mail? If not please send me one so I can send to the right address (tried that one http://www.celephais.net/board/view_user.php?name=[Kona] ) 

What's with Ethereal Hell? 

negke: i know mate, where the bloody hell is my website? i just clicked it today and it's gone! it could have been like this for the last 6 months for all i know. i better email telefragged...

spirit: um, yeah, that's one of my email addys. it should work aye. maybe send it again?

hmmm i just logged in for the first time since 2004, hehe. 

now go make a speedmap [Kona] :)to the Quake aniversary!!! 

Im a fan of your work. Carved in flesh and Guncotton are my faves!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!! :P

PS What Trinca said... 

pjw was literally mapping before I was born. -_-;; 

Is your father. 

BRACKETkonaBRACKET 

and Zwiffle is my bitch!!! 

Zwiffle, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son. 

cheers ricky.

actually i just remembered i did some maps for doom2... that must be going back a ways!

i've long forgotten how to use worldcraft, lol. haven't touched it since the end of 2003, 4.5 years ago! the only thing that sparked my interest was the possible involvement in mindcrime's big project after nehahra. i guess that will never see the light of day though :o 

We didnt even have editors, we just wrote .map files with notepad! 

I remember playing 1 or 2 maps that were made with a text editor (some maps by DaBug I think), and I was really impressed. It must have taken a fair bit of brain power and dedication to produce a playable map of any sort, let alone a half-decent one, without a graphical editor. 

I remember that whole phase happening before real editors appeared. I took one look at that and said, "No thanks". :) 

I doubt they used a text editor to make the maps, although I guess it's possible....

I remember reading they used p300mhz machines with 64 mb of ram and thinking "oooh!" 

They used QuakeEd which is what QERadient was derived from. 

I remember having a like 50 meg harddrive, I had just finished a level (aerowalk) and was going to plug in my headset, suddenly there was a static sound *bzzzt* *silence* My harddrive had gone into brick mode :P

Lost everything and had to redo the map from scratch. It improved greatly the second time around though :)

Lesson learned, always do a quick draft first of any dm level to get the basic layout and flow mapped out, throw it away and do it right :)

They surely had no 300MHz machines for Quake. Rather something from the 75-133MHz range.
