i've came across this site switch.to/qmodels, which is basically a site dedicated to the remodelling of quake, all weapons, monsters, armours, item's etc... it's still in progress and the actual site design it's self is'nt the easiest to navigate, but the model's are top notch considering they're working with a 6 year old game. well worth the download. also,
qmb is another site dedicated to keeping quake alive, featuring the new "qmb" engine, download the qmb 1.14 file and load it up, you won't believe your eyes

swoop of clan enslaved (#enslaved on quakenet irc) has unleashed a new quakeworld rap upon the world. you can listen to it here. it's gota be the best qw rap i've heard so far.

this coming weekend celebrates a rare moment in irish quake - a lan without monopoly prize money. after a quick vote of confidence on irc, i've decided to go ahead and look into my crystal vibrator for futher enlightenment on who will be the ultimate victor in the quake3 1v1 duel tournament. the premonitions were rather fuzzy so like any true quaker, i fucked off to the pub. parental advisory explicit lyrics, yo. looking down through the list of the 80 signed-up players on www.room101.org, it seems we have many pretty boys fancying a title shot. however they'll have a tough time with a decent show of both old skoolers and new generation hardcore playa's. the most notable being (in no particular order) rapier, koopa, zero4, lakerman, zero, mindphuck, overlord, melachi, vin, steak, beast, spaceman, carl, benji, dest and last but not least the great greek tactician, bunny. see more here.

you can get it on the orange smoothie site. it has freezetag built in and a few bugfixes. timenudge has not been locked, but maxfps has been capped at 142. there is an option to display your ping underneath the timer on the hud. the next version is supposed to have all the big improvements people were looking for, but it is at least 6 months away as a "rewrite" is required.

games on all windows, linux, and macos platforms that implement the unreal network gaming engine by epic games find themselves vulnerable to a laundry list of dangerous exploits. this battalion of vulnerabilities include local and remote dos, ddos, bounce attacks with spoofed udp packets, fake players, execution of malicious code without size limitations, unreal url crash, and more. "naturally this attack is very very simple, yet very very powerful" explains luigi. for detailed information please see the full advisory. a list of some affected applications can be found below:
- star trek: the next generation: klingon honor guard
- unreal
- the wheel of time
- deus ex
- mobile forces
- rune
- unreal tournament
- hired guns
- navy seals
- tnn outdoor pro hunter
- werewolf
- x-com: alliance
- adventure pinball
- america's army
- unreal tournament 2003
- future games (if the developers will not use a fixed
unreal engine) like deusex2, duke nukem forever,
postal 2, thief iii and xiii just for example
luigi has provided many proof's of concept and supporting code which can be found here.

the trend in fighting games lately is to have the female fighters wear less and less. in steps - bikini karate babes!
it's a hilarious spoof on the trend in the fighting game genre with 19 characters and 10 play modes. plus lots of hidden secrets. check out the side and download the demo here. since that site is getting huge hits (i wonder why), you can also check out the bkb dojo here and the fansite for a glimps of the game.
yes.. you can count on me to bring you the gratuitous games.. im a simple man!

season 10 of bwctfl has just about finished... a good season for the quake.ie clans. ts did well in very competitive division 1, finishing 5th; below last years champions gzd, the french clan holyshit, swedish/euro clan recap, and this season's winners fear.uk.
same as last season for fh, finishing 4th in division 2a below the euros scrb, zn and x4. this was another very competitive division, with scrb and zn finishing comfortably enough at the top. you can tell how close all the teams were here by the amount of draws... inf, x4 and scrb finished the season with 6 draws.
jb had a fairy decent debut season in division 3a. despite a low cap difference they finished 4th below the uk clans lag, xpd and dp. keep an eye out for bigfoot's season review on quakenation.
savage tdm league is starting soon. although '70 is the only irish clan in the league, there are other clans of irish interest (q3p and judas... a new clan led by z3on, featuring at least 1 familiar name in the teamlist) are in the same division (2b).
jolt q3dml season 4 kicked off last sunday, with nice wins for '70 and q3p, over oxo and lsr respectively (both in division 2).
theres 1 week left in bwdml but not much interest there, since nd have given up q3 tdm and are confirmed relegated and q3p look safe enough in div3a.

by reaper, see it here. 70 and the "adopted irish" side of q3p get a mention.

uk defaulted to italy in yesterdays clanbase tdm nations game, amid a flood of controversy. according to a news report on esr, the uk team aliased a player as vorv for the first game, and the level was defaulted. there are reports of the uk players being ping-flooded, but as usual that kind of thing can't be proved. seems like a lot of guys are moaning about flooding, not half enough realising how sad it is for a team of cheating bastards that skill level to have to go and alias....
