Yup, I remember =). What Bal said: Welcome back!

And what necros said, of course. Oh, something about your mother. 

I've grown up since.

Uh HUH. o_O O_o ^_~

Would it be cruel, pointless, ungratious and innappropriate for me to post the chat log where Zan threatens to get me banned from my own ISP with the help of his "Kaos Knight" buddies??

Yes, it would.

Here ya go: http://teamshambler.telefragged.com/zan.txt

P.S. Welcome back. 

Someone wake up Aardappel, they used to get along quite well if I remember correctly... =D 

That is some funny reading. And I thought I was immature when I first started coming to #tf!

Speaking of logs and stuff, what is up with paul.fov120.com?? 

oh crap that's one site I have forgotten to set up after the server crashed. It'll be up within a few minutes.

Zanno: Don't take anything here too seriously - it's mostly crap with the occasional comment about games and mapping here and there =). 

So you've come to haunt us after all these years? Enjoy your stay! 

...no, hang on. I didn't finish it. I got right to the end battle after having no problems running this impressive addition to the DooM world in 800x600 high quality and found that even if I turned down everything to the lowest possible factor and turned off almost everything that makes playing the DooM3 engine worthwhile, the last section is unplayable due to FPS issues.

Nerve (too bloody right), thanks for the awesome experience but did you morons even test the last section.

I finished it. ati card? try ati-optimised shaders 

Yeah, I remember that chatlog. Tows the line between embarrassing and hilarious. I was going through a huge wrist slitting phase at the time and and was spewing any random paranoid bullshit that came into my head. Must have been all the blood loss, or something. At least I've managed to work myself from "completely batshit foaming at the keyboard insane" to "sane enough to hold down a job, at least" over the past few years.

I happened to read a few posts of Aardappel on the something awful forums and as far as i can tell he's just as much of a worthless faggot as he was when I first met him :) I mean, he posts in gbs instead of fyad. That's all I really care to know about the guy.

I don't really plan on sticking around, I have no interest in custom mapping anymore. I was just pretty surprised this place still existed in some form, and felt like saying hello. 

That's not the same Aardappel.

i want to read that thread so bad. Possibly the reason he's having girl troubles (understatement) is connected to the fact he's offering computer elf money as reward to getting him laid. 

For sure. 

sadly, the only thing blizzard is really good at regarding WoW, is not finding bugs and fixing server problems, but deleted fucked up threads. XD 

the result of two hours of downsizing and uploading photos is now on my site. 

Anyone ever have this problem :

This version of QuakeII will not on this language version of Windows95/NT. To find out if a version localized for your operating system is available for puchase, please contact your local Activision office.

It worked fine before, nothing's changed. 

What happened to quotes.fov120.com ? 

Soldout to bash.org

Oh, wait.. 

I think Gom was reinstalling that server yesterday night, the beer probably got to him before he was able to finish. =) 

I've never had Quake 2 install under 2K/XP as far as I can remember because of that message, always resorted to just copying all the crap off the CD to my HD. Doesn't matter as none of the patches etc. require the game to have been properly installed as far as I can remember. 

tried that but then I get "error during intialisation" when I run quake2.exe. i thought it must have been because I copied straight across.

And I havent tried to reinstall it yet, but wouldnt the mission pack not install too ? 

Copying the files should work fine. It all works ok on my XP Pro machine. 

i remember the bloodninja stuff on that site quotes.fov120.com i think?

well, apparently there's more of it...

(in case anyone missed it)
this stuff is old, but it cracks me up to this day. :P 

Change the language you set when you installed your OS, eg from English Australia to English USA or whatever, then install it. You can as was mentioned just copy the files from the CD to you HD and it will work fine, none of the Quakes or Dooms actually need to be installed as such to run.
