It's over. The only way it can continue is if the participants keep participating.

I was looking for Quake facts, dammit. And all I got was Madfox's gun and some truck-worthy stuffs.

I see you registering again. Why can't you keep your shit clean?

Everyone knows you are a bit erratic, but who isn't? Everyone can accept erratic. Nobody has a problem with that, most of us are.

Going for the gutter? WTF? Do you view that as the high road? That's all I have to say. And I'm not a dick, so I'm not going to prevent you from replying or anything uncool like that. I'm not into that.

All the Quake facts for so far?



Where's the turtle sign gone that appearred when the engine got slow?

It went the way of the Dinosaurs , whenever Broadband took over the world from Narrowband.

Quake 1 has been out since 1996. That's 16 years of our lives.
Even if you started playing when you were 2 years old you would be considered a grown adult at this point in time.

So if I was born in 96 does that make me an adult?

So if I was born in 96 does that make me an adult?

You totally missed the sentence. He said if you were 2, and started playing quake, you would be an adult now. So 1994 birth year.

AND ---> here's your sign!

Did you know John Carmack HATED bunny hoppers, and was beyond adamant about erradicating it from Quake1.

src : pick one

On another note, I think age means nothing, I mean, Sylux exhibits more adult attitude than some of the trouble makers in Quake1,and for that,I thank him.

Same with Amebix and many others. Getting along should be a requirement,I mean.... Why can't we be friends??

Everyone has to lead by setting better examples,even if you're new to the game.

I am with Carmack in this...

[talisa]

i think its one of the most stupid and moronic things ever.
if i connect to a server and see someone doing that its instant disconnect for me.

its like, helloooo am i playing quake or some frogger game?

I've been at the end of 'disliking very intently' an aspect of Quake (usually,something relating to netquake)

Like, once upon a time I didn't use the hook (and couldn't) , but after being beaten on sufficiently by people using things like hook to gain advantage (strafing into walls while hugging them to walk faster.

Thinking that's okay but bunny hopping isn't is pretty sour grapes,because the bunny hop / wall hugging both incorporate strafe for faster traveling.

I personally think Carmack got wooped up on by someone who was a proficient bunny hopper, haha. I wonder if Bunny hopping as we have today in Quakeworld is ;

Reflective of changes that Carmack forced on us.

or

The changes he made was ignored and no one went along with his 'anti-bunny-hopping' changes he imposed. Did he succeed at his goal? I never bothered with QW or NQ in the early years,I was a pure single player Quaker for quite a bit during the early days.

People sometimes ask me why I use the NG.Isn't the SG more powerful?
I seem to be the only one who does use it.
The shotgun fires once every 500ms. It fires 6 pellets per attack, and each pellet does 4 damage, making for a maximum possible damage of 24.The pattern is random and has a diverging spread.This makes it unlikely to get all the pellets on target unless your very close.This makes the average damage more like 16.

The nailgun fires once every 100ms.Nails do 9 damage per hit. For a total of
45 maximum total damage every 500 ms.like the SG not all nails will hit but I have more loss room afforded and if I use it in bursts it is very accurate,unlike the randomness of the SG.

There are other differences as well, the SG is a hitscan weapon that has a range of 2048 units,but is instant.
The NG is a projectile weapon so has no range limit also
since it has an actual projectile that takes some amount of time to fly to it's target,I find it gives the enemy more trouble to target me if I keep moving with it,since they will look in the direction they were nailed from.
