Hey everyone-I have been playing this stupid game since it came out. Remember the old dial up days with 300-400 pings.... I never learned how to use a mouse, still on keyboard. I play the game for "fun" dont really care about frags. I also you the name smellthedogshit ect..HAPPY CAMPING !!

[.Fin.]

Finny here!

Hey everybody!

Don't know what happened to SINGED, but I was toolin' around & came up with this site. Great job, BTW--looks fantastic! Time for a Q-1 resurgence, eh?

I've been playing since '96 when Quake came out. I love all forms of Quake-1 but tend to prefer RuneQuake--neat twist on the original game.

Oh yeah, and I am a "New School" hooker. LOL
What that means (& everyone who plays with me regularly will agree) is that I prefer to grapple if at all possible--and I think most who play with me will also agree that I am pretty d*mn good with the hook (though not everyone appreciates that particular skill, heheh).

I already see a bunch of friends here, so I'm happy to sign on!

Great to see you all & I look forward to meeting new players as well!


Love to all,


--Finny

Hi Fin. I welcome. I guess you bought or borrowed a computer

[Monster]

SWEET, next I shall test my skillz against THE FIN.

[Grim]

Glad to see everyone. I'm like others... played it when it came out, still have it but I do not play it as much as I used to. World of Warcraft is what I play mostly.

I still love a good game of quake now and then. I usually play a few rounds until I start breaking out in a sweat like the old days. I then have to return to normal.

[Monster]

Yeah, World of Warcraft is the rage now. Too bad it costs $15 a month to play it. =(

[Bank]

My name is Bank, I'm currently an Admin on the Quake Terminus forums and I've been playing Quake for quite a while now. I bought Quake the day it was released and havent stopped playing since, I like to pride myself as an id (with Romero) Junkie, owning not only Quake, but every game based on the Doom engine (with the exception of Amulets and Armour). I'm not a very technical person, owning two crappy computers that I run simultaniously for double the annoyance, but I can tell you much lore and trivia about a multitude of topics.

My avatar for almost all forums is Luke Skywalker, dont ask me why, I just really enjoyed the animation.

[Monster]

Cool, maybe you could put some of those old-skool ID games in the download section... =)

[Bank]

I'm not sure that's exactally legal...

Because I'm sure that no one knows what I look like;


That's me. Bitch.

[mikeTOOtall]

Hello everyone. My name is mikeTOOtall, and i'm a quake-a-holic... I'm an old skool NETquaker whos been playin since the game's release. I'm pretty much a 1v1 DM6 guy and don't play much else. If you're down for some hardcore DM6 action, let me know! I'm always down for a match or two... or three... or four..... Theres no better way for me to spend 20 minutes than in an intense netquake DM6 1v1! :d BTW I'm a little rusty, so go easy on me!

[Yellow No. 5]

add some contact info to your profile and i'll hit ya up sometime. for practice mode, anyway, so i at least have a chance

Howdy,

I'm an Aussie who didn't even know about Quake until 1999

The first cheat code I ever used was 'noclip' and since that day all I wanted to do was map for Quake. When I first started doing so I was called palldjon and hung out a Qmap.

As far as levels go, I've released:

The controversial 'Start' map and 8th placed 'Abject Abcess' for Aardappel's 100brush competition - as palldjon
d/l: http://www.quaddicted.com/component/...d,2/Itemid,60/

'Recurrent Rumours' - a largish old skool medieval SP level - as palldjon
Rev: http://www.planetquake.com/teamshambler/rev010607.html
d/l: http://www.quaddicted.com/component/...619/Itemid,60/

'Dismembered Crates' - the winner of the third 100 brush competition - as distrans
d/l: http://www.quaddicted.com/component/...d,1/Itemid,60/

'Usher Recompiled' - a floater as part of UnderWorldFan's Coagula2 comp - as distrans
Rev & d/l: http://www.planetquake.com/underworl...rev030814.html
This last one has DM implementation but I never got any feedback from players in this mode. If you care to take the time I'd much appreciate it.

'Rubicondom' - a joint SP mapping venture, I produced the finale - as distrans
Rev & d/l: http://www.planetquake.com/underworl...rev050724.html

On the horizon is Travail, a joint venture with scragbait (with help from leviathan, Asaki, Preach, JPL and blitz). Some older info and screenies on this project can be found at http://qexpo.quakedev.com/booths.php...57&sk=y6aOLae8 There's been plenty of progress since those days. The mod will also feature at least two DM levels so I might be pimping betas around here if you don't mind.

I've recently played D3 and Q4, and prefer the latter. Although my biggest surprise in the last month was finding a secondhand copy of Alice and thoroughly enjoying the experience that followed. I grew to like Q2 and most of my DM experience involves bots in Q3. Now, having alienated most of the board, I'll say congrats on a well organised site and check you next time.

Me too!

I think I've played Usher Recompiled, I love Coagula maps.



And I thought Rubicondom (review/download pagewas excellent. It's in my short of list of maps that give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about Quake that can't be communicated.
