Been a while, huh?

[Net-Tyme]

Quad I haven't been around and just decided to take a peek at this forum. I'm really sorry for your loss and your pain. I know in the end it helps us "grow" but still sucks along the way. Happy that May is coming soon and you can spread your wings. You never know how light your pain is.. until you hear the pain of others.
Glad to see you back.

FUB:

fub comes around on shmack every so often.. and yes, still angry as ever!!

[Grim Warlock]

Out of curiosity, does FUB still show up here? I've still got that hatemail of his he sent a few years ago, and it still makes me laugh that he took the time to write it.


Also off topic:



Fail. I'm really tired of hearing about this dude.

Justin Bieber is a talentless piece of crap that should never have existed. Who's FUB? Can I see this hatemail .

well hit me up on AIM or yahoo and I'll be happy to oblidge you...

I'm pretty happy with any level and any server as far as RQ. Not a huge fan of DM2 though, I've always hated the lava pit room. It's a shame that FVF isn't as big as it used to be, those were some of my favorite moments. 1-player FVF gets a little boring after a half an hour or so.

RQ is very stagnant these days... they only ever want to play the same 3 maps (start, DM4, E1M7)

sigh, all i ever want to play is e4m3, dm6, and a few others that arent the norm..

all this Kimp business

May is almost here !

I'm afraid big games on FvF are a thing of the past. Hell, not even Gunter plays anymore... he put his desktop away and just uses a netbook to play. I keep telling him to dig out his desktop, but now know him... "too lazy", he says.

There is only a very small handful of FvF players left. Myself, Monster, meTch, seeingstars, the turk, you, and uhh... Fuzznut... sometimes... and that's about it. Hopefully some people will come crawling out of the woodwork, but Quake seems deader now than it's ever been. The CA/DM community took a big hit thanks to all this Kimp business, internal strife within the community, etc... naturally Runequake players aren't affected by this, but they're the type of people who just slowly erode away on their own anyway... RQ is very stagnant these days... they only ever want to play the same 3 maps (start, DM4, E1M7), never play on any other servers, not even other RQ servers (I've tried persuading people to come to fear a few times, but they all end up turning me down because they "don't know the runes there").

Sorry, I saw your post but forgot to reply. Sorry to hear about your loss, too. I saw your E1M1 event, it looked really neat. But please, don't treat me like some kind of writing guru, alright?

[Shadowswift]

No love for DK?

I've been popping on FVF the past few afternoons, didn't have anyone show up though. Played some RQcoop with Mindz and Monster though. I really miss the big FVF games, they were always fun.

I gotta grab the mod again too, so I can at least see the skins again.

I got your PM, though lately I've just been using MSN. Maybe I'll boot up Yahoo and AIM and see if anyone's left me any messages lately.

[foq]

You get that PM yet? Hit me up on AIM/yahoo sometime... would love to get a game of FvF going! I'm sure I could get others to join as well...

[QuadRaptor]

Monty - Sure, though I lost all of QuadRaptor's stories via Geocities being shut down, but feel free to include the few on the TU forums, and I'll look through my more recent ones and post up a few for you to include. They won't be Quake related but I wouldn't mind getting a few more opinions on the style, mostly been writing for my mom and aunt so the feedback I've gotten has been completely positive.

Foq - Nah, don't worry about that. I'm using a laptop right now, we got rid of the old desktop.

I'd get something better if I had the money. Quit my job at the grocery store cause I had a douchebag coworker trying to tell me what to do. The dude was a 35 year old pothead + satanist + Transformers and G.I.Joe obsessed. He thought since he was 10 years older than me that he could tell me what to do, and got pissy whenever I didn't obey him. He actually left me a list of what he wanted to do every afternoon...I had been working there for 4 years, I know how the fuck to do my job. He even forged one of my manager's signatures to try to get me to follow a list he wrote. Needless to say, my boss was pissed.

But they kept the guy for whatever reason, so one day he kept bugging the shit outta me so I walked out. Went the next day and put a week notice in with my manager.

And to this day, the guy is STILL there. He doesn't do shit for the company other than draw swastikas all over the place and sit around on his ass bitching about everyone else. He got away with a lot of shit at the store he 'worked' at before, so when he got here he was really surprised that he actually had to do work instead of getting to sit around on his ass playing Farmville on his cell phone and smoking weed in the breakroom. And he wanted to boss ME around? What a joke.

Anyway, it was added stress on an already stressful year. I'm glad I quit, though not being able to spend any money kind of sucks. I'm practically on an allowance with my mom until I graduate, and most of what she gives me is gas money.

I actually wouldn't mind shipping you one of my computers I have here that just sits in the corner collecting dust... it's a Socket A Athlon something or other. It's just a tower, no monitor/keyboard/mouse etc... and it probably needs a video card, but other than that it's an okay machine. I just worry about something breaking during shipping... never shipped a whole computer before and I've heard a lot of horror stories from those who have.

Just by curiosity is this the story you are talking??!

These stories existed long before Kimp came around...
