Favorite Quake Moment/Memory

[Rampage]

Hahah dude if I get into too much detail then that post would be super long, I'm not writing a fucking autobiography.

[rambo]

a CTF autobiography is needed. I can help fill in, even though I wasn't known widely in early days of ctf, i was there... some of you know that some of you think i just picked it up like 8 years ago or something and some of you still confuse me with some name jacker "Basey" or whatever who used Rambo after I took this name on in 96. Ive had no other name other then joking ones.

Anyways back to the point. I love old school ctf players, I get what your saying about some of HDz tricks, I remember the Roger Wilco scandal briefly. Still a bunch of great guys, who took me into HDz when other clans would not accept me and just taught me to be a better CTF player. Similar to what you and I do when your around, we play, talk & learn, even though Im the one doing the learning.

Some more great names. Could never forget Beans-HDz. I remember Darkbird. Crazytrain-RuM who I believe his sister also played. Dr. Cody & Collin, I think they were brothers that lived in Michigan. I know theres so many great players Im forgetting, and some even better ones I never got to know. I wont dwell on the fact that I didnt get a chance to meet all the good ctfer's, Im just glad I got to know the ones I do now. Some ctf people that dont even play I get to talk to time to time which is cool, like zero-baron or frenzy. Say what you want about those guys, but they have both been good to me, and actually have made me want to up my grapple game more. When baron was lpb he could out grapple me all the time, so I would just keep playing him or watching him till I could do it. Frenzy pushed me to go faster. So didnt VIS. CTF is fucking awesome and Im glad Zoid made it, and others have worked on it to bring it where it is today. Hate me or love me, Im still glad to have this game installed and still glad to get a ctf game in here or there even if I have to annoy and bother people to get it done.

So in end of my book here, Just being able to remember some ctf games I've had in the past and looking forward to the ones in the future is my favorite memory or moment.

I mean, I don't want to make this a CTF memorial.. it takes away from what this thread is about, and getting people to share their favorite memories.

I'd like to add one thing though, that facing Bosh in CTF brought out absolutely the best of me. I'm not sure he acknowledges or realizes this, but he was pretty much my nemesis. I'd say were about 50/50 in CTF games, and he was pretty much (in my eyes) the only guy who could regularly kill me in straight up fights (in CTF). We have such similar playing styles in fact, that we're an absolutely horrible pairing. We lose nearly every game we play on the same team.

I'm ready to bring the RAWKUS

Playing Quake on T.E.N.-- that was a blast back in the dial up days. I couldn't keep the service long though I couldn't afford it.
I later had to resort to using PC AnyWhere software over dialup, simulate a LAN, and a group of 3 or 4 friends would play Quake dm that way.
Also, seeing blahbalicious for the first time on planetquake was a blast, and I didn't know it then but it was the start of something huge-- machinama.

I guess myself, Skillet, and Lust beating Krix and 2 other Doom peeps, on the "cool moments" side of things.

Otherwise? The Alternative Abandoned Base era (the one Chad made); I loved that damn map, way more than the original.

On the humorous side, any game involving Jon was usually hilarious. And enjoyed playing with Tim/Cataklysque, whom just married in December.

In chronological order, my favourite memories:

- XP/DM-era: Wanting desperately to be in XP, way back in the day, but not being good or mature enough. Playing with/against XP with some EG dudes, before they went to QW. Took "lessons" from XP-Antarius on how to play dm2, got pretty good at it.

- Buying a voodoo2 video card.

- Joining DY.

- I remember one night when XBN was all lanned up, and we (DY) were able to not only win a number of games, but absolutely destroy them

- Beating cK-DevL repeatedly on dm2 one weekend, after he had been bragging about how good he was at it

- Playing in NAQL with the cK guys, and getting DDoS'd by exile and his friends during the game against zero tolerance. Drama central!

- Playing a lot of 2v2s on teamplay.net with XBN-Butu, who is one of my all time favourite Quake players

- talking to mt / minor threat on AIM about music, and shit talking about quake

- playing with the bKz/6fu guys, for the two or three weeks before the respective tournaments died out (was fun to pretend quake DM was alive for those few weeks)

- talking to wanton and never knowing whether or not he's ever being serious, for the better part of a decade

CA era:

- playing with in[10]sity, especially nate, who was a good dude.
- Talking shit to Chippy.
- joining DOOM and playing with spoon, chron, prone, ramp, etc. they were some of the best CA players out there, without the shitty attitudes, imo.

Agreed that DOOM didn't have the 'baggage' attitudes at all. Loved DM with prone and snowplow man (aka |(illa) myself. Quake was more enjoyable when there were less people goading others in general. With exception, that is, to the LLAMA era guys who would jump into Havoc-RB type games and screw them up. I was 14 and found that naturally hilarious to observe, perhaps not to endure as a participant however.

Also, props on DM2 because Devl was, in fact, pretty damn good at it. Used to roast me. Then again I was HPB in that era so who knows.

Playing as an HPB and then transitioning to LPB for the first time was one of my favorite times.

Hell I hated switching from HPB to LPB, I still think I was better as HPB lol.
