Childish foot-stamping on the part of particular channel owners was why I first stopped hanging out in there. 

But I still need 3 beta testers for this 2nd phase, if anyone is interested. 

once you get your QW client and an address sorted, gimme a shout 

Childish foot-stamping on the part of particular channel owners is the reason why I almost stopped hanging out in there.

But I missed Von so I always went back. :( 

It is the reason why i stopped hanging out there too. 

It's the reason scampie is going to be the godfather to all my children 

You are an elitist fuckwad, fuck you for banning me.

keep your whining off my front porch, annoying kid. *shakes cane in air, dribbles a little onto plaid blanket*

Particularly since Phait has been showing some promising mappage recently, now is the time to be especially welcoming.

Without being privvy to whatever caused these two to start kicking sand in eachother faces, I'd say that being an idiot savant is no excuse for acting like an idiot. Personally, I wouldn't care if it was Jesus himself releasing little binary space trees of joy unto the internet -- fucker pisses on the floor, he's out of here.

Other than that, carry on. I'll get the popcorn. 

It's stupid. 

and poor old Kiltron has gone and stuck his foot in it, and after his recent goings on, with spitting the dummy, and vowing never to use id tech again, well........

The tools and open file formats of d3 seems........
Some Unreal people, (well perhaps not Unreal people, but people from Unreal) have been bitching about how retarded Doom3 file formats are, and the fact that you still have to do things through config files etc, etc, they seem to think you have to have a degree in Computer Science to understand it. One dude wrote a bit of a rant on the front page of his site about it. I think it was the dude from the review site "The Nucleus" something like that. He did say that he thought Doom3 was a good game.

Half Life 2 people love the article by the way ;) 

In case I can't get on mIRC later: DON'T FORGET! 

...can you stop with the secret rendezvous stuff already and finish the damn Rubicon map... :P 

Second and the final bunch of the sources goes to the big world off my hdd today. This time you can start destroying these worlds:

Quake Single player levels - Solarfall, The Castle of Koohoo;

Deathmatch levels: Uzuldaroum, Aghast, Lilith, Ferrum, Hook In Mouth, Zed, Zed II and 3 old unmentionable dm maps;

Quake 3 Arena levels - Khaooohs, Nemesis Online, Uzuldaroum III.

Have fun!

You are a warlock! 

Von's a level "source"-erer, even ;) 

Hey Bl1tz was kind enought to host a test portfolio site I'm working on for myself. I'd like it if a few of you could give me some feedback. Yes it's not spellchecked, or grammar checked yet as it's likely to change some between now and when I go live with my own domain. Please check it out once tho, Bl1tz is concerned about the bandwitdh usuage. This is not a complete site, just a single test page.

Thanks Bl1tz

A few of things strike me immediately: don't use the grayscale mouseover thing - all I see at first is an entirely gray page, which isn't very inviting or encouraging. Wrong impression.
And make your thumbnails bigger - yes, they are thumbnails, but with any kind of self-promotional thing you have to make a strong impression as soon as possible. Like it or not, those at whom your portfoilio which actually be aimed will make judgements very quickly.
And center the whole block of text+images, don't justify it to the left. Hit 'em right between the eyes, y'know?

HTH 

which = will 

put the links to resumes and such directly under the header.. being off to the side there looks tacked on and disorganized. download links should be bold or somehow brightened so they're easily visible. and like kell said, greytones aren't going to sell you or make you remembered, add a single color to the style. SPELL CHECK.

get rid of your older crappy maps, a portfolio is only as strong as the weakest thing there. get rid of the sentance "Technology doesn't come in the way of creating sound design.", sounds too much like you're trying to justify to yourself. just the first single sentance works fine. add your later q2 maps, and don't be afraid to throw any screenshots of in progress q3/d3 stuff. variety is a big selling point. 

Yeah I didn't know if I should include the crap maps or not. I should of also mention the plans for the rest of the pages.

Theres going to be q2 page, a lost maps page (with possible source to maps I gave up on), and a in progress page were I'll be showing my d3 stuff I've been working on. Also a button here.

Anyways what maps should I dump from that list? 1,3 and what else? 

What the others above said, except:

I'd say keep all the maps, the earlier ones don't look bad at all in the shots. In fact all the maps look pretty good at least, but yeah you need bigger shots.

Make the download link more obvious, have the normal underlining business on it. In fact, put the download link next to the title, or make the title a download link.

Just put Quake, not Quake One, the latter is gay.

Also, "crampt" is spelt "cramped". In fact, don't write cramped at all, write something more positive. That map looks damn good in the shots. Oh and it's "confrontations" too :P. And "players" not "plays"...lol. 

Hmm, no one else mentioned this, so maybe it's just me, but all your shots seem to have a bit too much contrast... Did you touch them up on photoshop or something? =\

Otherwise, yeah, what everyone else said.
Oh and the design at the top if fux0red in firefox, those 3 grey bands keep repeating across the page... 

I think it would be better if you picked a few less Quake maps and just picked the ones you're proudest of. On a minor note there are some fullbrights in the screenies of Say it ain't so. Maybe taking shots with a pretty engine like Darkplaces might be a good idea too, with a tiny bit of bloom and detail textures etc.

And perhaps you know this but in Firefox 1.0 the layout is screwed... the bar thats supposed to be at the left appears 4 times in parallel at the top above the text.

And yeah, it'll look better again when you add your q3/d3 stuff, your work-in progress looked pretty cool. 

There's no apostrophe in r�sum�.
