NWN was pretty much built for the multiplayer experience. If you don't like hack and slash much you can set the difficulty to low so that you can blow through the battles and concentrate on the role play. You can also avoid a lot of battles by just running away.

I'm not sure how close together a party has to stick. It may be possible for someone to go hurt some baddies while another hangs around it town, but I make no guarantees. 

/me waves goodbye

...never found you negative *shrug* 

"So, consider yourselves lucky to be (seemingly) gaining a positive member of the mapping masses (Shambler) and losing a negative one."

LOL Blitz I think QMap could do with more of that sort of humour!




P.S. The closest I`ve come to mapping is de-ticking the UnrealEd install box while installing UT...

SOLD!

A D3 vs HL2 would be very fierce indeed... 

H-Hour thanks for that info. But is the multi-player coop in DS against other players or against the computer??

Pushplay thanks. 

For the first time ever I have temporary access to a connection better than my usual "two cups and a piece of string". So in theory I could play some of you lot online.

Games I`ve got available: UT2, Battlefield 1942, Iron Storm, IGI2, Splinter Cell, WC3, C&C Generals, AOM....(okay and CS but there is no way in hell...)

Games I know how to play: UT2.

Games I could probably learn: The other FPSs.

Games I would need to be walked through: The rest.

Times I can play: 10pm - 12am UK time.

I`m very rusty so ideally I could play something against a similar incompetent, or better, teamplay with a few similar incompetents =).

So....errr....ummm..../looks shy... 

Give Cube a go. 

go play outside :-P
more excercise anyway 

It is primarily geared to be against the computer, but you can fight players as well.

Pushplay - I did a while ago.

Daftpunk - yes but it`s cold here.

H-Hour - thank you, I will look into it more. This holds promised =). 

pure ownage that map! nice one lun. 

test 

tomorrow we finish up excessus maps and then play cybears maps. Stop by terrafusion at 3pm EST on Saturday. 

You've said that you're not going to restart TSQLR (and for all the right reasons) but I'm wondering if you'd be interested in beta testing Q1SP maps? Or even other game modes and games, for that matter. 

If nothing else, download & try a few people`s mods and spiel about them in notepad. If you like what the results are, post `em.

You`re basically a god in the quake community, so you can get away with saying most anything... ;) 

This part shouldn't have been part of the quote:

Absolutely!... wrong! You'd be surprised how many people hate Shambler's guts. Of course, there are plenty of people who think he's infallible, too. Interestingly enough, though, there aren't really any people in between. 

I am curious as to how someone can hate his guts.
He is intelligent, well spoken, and a very driven person.
He also couples that with wits and a lot of common sense.

Also, I want to have his babies.

Or her, I�m not quite sure, it�s never been revealed, AFAIK. 

Or her, I�m not quite sure, it�s never been revealed, AFAIK.

He's made several references to his testicles swaying gently in the breeze, so I suppose he's either a male or a hermaphrodite.

I'll let you decide. 

you almost sidestepped the issue. why is it again that some people "hate" shambs? I don�t buy it.

And, are we sure the testicles in question does actually belong to shambler? Might be they are "trophies"? 

I don't know squat about him. 

His review site was a valuable focal point for the community. As far as shambler as a person, i've had very little interaction with him so i'm fairly neutral. 

yeah, I�m not trying to imply I actually KNOW the man. I have read enough of his blah to form an opinion. But that is an opinion formed on someones blah - so it doesn�t mean jack.

But I like Shambler - the person behind I have no idea about.
Cybear, for example, I have met in real life - and thus I know a wee bit what he�s like. 

I was trying to avoid turning the GA thread into a personal attack/defense thread, and since I don't share their views, I can't accurately speak for them. But since you insist, I'll give you some wild speculation.

Some people probably dislike Shambler because they felt he deleted their supposedly legitimate threads on the old QMap, and started some questionable ones of his own. Others probably hate him because they feel he treated them illy on #terrafusion. There are probably others who think he presses his opinion on others too forcefully and is not willing to acknowledge others' opinions, no matter how valid. Some probably feel he is too hostile towards newbies who are susceptible to misinterpret his remarks.

I thought of at least another but it escapes me at the moment.

Like I hinted at, I am only speculating here. I cannot accurately speak for those whose opinions I do not share.

(erm was trying to find the quote of Shambler's swaying testicles but couldn't find the right one blah.)
