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.) I guess "some people" are in dire need of a soldering-iron eye-socket-fuck then.
Shambler - you should be mightily proud, all those people pissed off, and still you�re so young. So many possibilities ahead. ;) We could all play the Enemy territory Test. people can dl it, and we"re all go. if somebody sets it all up, Ill show up.
and started some questionable ones of his own
I resent that! They were all good threads! I can`t argue with the myriad of other virtues you pointed out... I watched L.A. Confidential last night and today when I checked your webby for news, I see this!
Remember kiddos, you heard it here first; off the record, on the Q.T., and strictly hush-hush. Forgot to reply to this. Ummm what was the question again?? Oh yeah...
Maybe....possibly.Sometimes nice to do, but I have so many new games to think of I may not re-install Quake. I dunno... you hate celephais already? :-P
heh, i dont wanna be goin through 2 separate forums with the same people. although it can be a bit of fun.. yea, like when i have 5 windows open and post in the wrong one. there, daikatana for you sham. well, at least the textures in the game where good...and the music, a little no, it was just that I figured metl was doing this as an interim until peej got back and could sort qmap out again.
Ifno is on the way this very moment. I am looking forward to working/helping out in any way. I have been on a foced three week mapping/online-gaming vaction. Need to do that now and then to keep priorities in order... am back in the editor again now =)
I like Shambler because he`s opinionated, intelligent, and know`s his shit. He`s very elitist and sticks to the rules closely, which rubs many people the wrong way, esspecially when they`re being idiots and he tells them they are.
As for his "questionable" threads... I don`t seem to remember any. Any Shambler thread had a good topic that pretained to mapping or gaming in general, and was generally thought provoking. As for his deletion of threads... him and I only deleted the off topic; "public masturbation"; "hi how do i map 4 teh max pain!!!email me here" bullshit... why? because that`s the way the site was set up. But past is past, community attitudes have changed. Personally, I hope when Qmap gets back on it`s feet, we`ll be able to move posts to where they belong, and close off-topic/flamewar/nondiscussion threads, instead of deleting, and have a proper FAQ/rules section that can evole with the community. oh, and I also hope to be able to use proper ` again... :D I dunno, flamewars have their charm too. Once in a while anyway.
A flame a day keeps the ass-hats away. Hello! And welcome to a dead topic! Would you care to comment on other dead topics, such as whether George Bush's election was legitimate or not?
*ahem* You're defending someone who doesn't need defending. Let it rest. When Nali City was at PlanetUnreal, I wrote approx 100 Unreal and UT SP reviews for them. NC has moved to BeyondUnreal.com, rennovated the site, and removed support for Unreal and therefore all my reviews. I`ve emailed QAPete about this and he has little intention of adding Unreal support to the site. Thus I`m left with 100 now-unused reviews.
I want to do something with these - at least the ones of good maps anyway. Firstly because I think older games should have good information and support available for them (although I understand NC`s decision it`s not something I agree with). Secondly because I put a lot of effort into doing those reviews and don`t like to see it wasted just because Unreal is `old` now. But I`m not sure what to do, and I would really appreciate some advice/ideas/feedback. I`ve had a few thoughts: Post them at teamshambler.telefragged.com Pros: Reviews are completely in my control then, no pressure nor need to update them with recent maps. Cons: Not sure what Telefragged would think, very hard for Unreal players to find and use them as a resource. Make an Unreal SP review site for PU or BU Pros: Makes the reviews most useful to Unreal players, probably easier to deal with GSN or BU. Cons: Much more pressure to update site, unsure if just an archive would be acceptable. See if Hellscrag @ UnrealSP.org would want them as an archive. Pros: Makes the reviews very useful to Unreal players, probably quite acceptable as an archive. Cons: If Hellscrag was really interested in my contributions he`d have asked for them ages ago when I was still reviewing. Others??? I wouldn`t mind posting them at my site if you can`t find anywhere to store them. I could just add them to the review page http://www.telefragged.com/gmc/reviews.shtml
You could ask Metl nicely to put them here as an extention to the board. We`d then have a message board, news, and reviews.
Or you could tie him up and poke him until he says yes. Or fix the apostrophe bug. :) Course, having reviews here would monopolize the business to you, leaving some other people with review sites in the cold. Im looking into getting a new machine for playing games. I dont know anything about hardware, but with the help of my brother I was able to pick out some stuff. Hes not a gamer, though, so I wanted to run some things by you guys. Im not looking for a newest and greatest machine, but I want something that will be able to run new games today pretty well and will be able to handle games for a couple years now. Im going for cheap, so can you guys tell me if this stuff will be good enough?
-Pentium� 4 Processor at 2.66GHz w/533MHz front side bus/ 512K L2 Cache -512MB Dual Channel 333MHz DDR SDRAM -128MB DDR ATI RADEON� 9800 Graphics Card with TV-Out and DVI The Radeon is going to cost me $100 more than a 64MB DDR NVIDIA� GeForce4 MX� Graphics Card with TV-Out. It seemed like it was worth it, as the 64MB GF4 looked like it might not handle games in the future very well. So, does this setup look like it will handle games for a few years? Thanks for your advice. it was a while since i kept ajour on the latest hardware, but rest assured that if you want a machine that will handle next generation technology, you might want to buy the bleeding edge stuff.
