found this on megagames:john carmack, id software's lead programmer of doom fame, has lashed out at nvidia for the release of geforce4.
any public comment from such an influencial figure, which contains the phrase "do not buy a geforce4-mx for doom" is worth a closer look. according to carmack ati 8500 support for doom is complete and "gf4-mx will still run doom properly, but it will be using the nv10 codepath with only two texture units and no vertex shaders. a gf3 or 8500 will be
much better performers."
carmack suggests that nvidia have really messed up the naming of their products and adds;
"nvidia has really made a mess of the naming conventions here. i always
thought it was bad enough that gf2 was just a speed bumped gf1, while gf3 had
significant architectural improvements over gf2. i expected gf4 to be the
speed bumped gf3, but calling the nv17 gf4-mx really sucks."

the clan is called 'forged by fire' (fbf). the clan leader, immortal explains a little about the team -
i am the clan leader and renton is in there with me leading.we have 5 other members. caligula, papashiv0, sam0th, g0r3gr1nd and wossack). most of us have been playing q3 and qw especially, since the dawn of quake. i have been in clan [rc],-=arp=-,{tfa} and renton is in [f2b] as u know i'm sure. we are gonna be a competition team pretty much for q3 ctf and tdm. other members have been in other clans as well, can't remember who tho. i'd also love to get back into qw-it was such a laugh and i haven't played it for years now :( .
clan mailing list and irc channel will be up within a fortnight at latest. details to follow.
ps: the clans ultimate aim is for every member to be able to whip koopa's ass in q3tourney4  ....oh and win competitions and tourneys....
so there you have it eh? lets see if other players out there can get up and create some more teams and put a bit more competition into the irish scene.

the draft groupings for season 8 of the bw tdml has been just posted. they have decided to go with the formats of 2 division 1 groups, 2 division 3 groups, etc. also, there is a new map pool, which will make a change from the older maps were all probably bored to death playing. these are dm7tmp, dm14tmp, cpm4, ospdm5, ospdm6 & poq3dm5. some interesting movements from various clans.
bio.b were placed in div1b who will have to compete with some top players. their second team, bio.b, were placed in div2c.
nd make their barrysworld debut, after 7 seasons, they finally put in a team. surprisingly, they were placed quite high into div2b.
lastly, fh, were placed in div3d. we all know these boys can do the job this time round.
my own team, hat, have decided to call tdm a day with various players splitting and going to other clans over the last season. i myself have gone to div2a clan wz (quake wizzzards), while some have gone to div1a clan ir (irresponsible).
from our humble beginnings as hat in division 5, we scraped all the way to division 2 of last season. not bad, but hey, its been fun.

there were 6 more duels played last night, the table is updated on the iqool page.
now, there haven't been a lot of games played, and tonight being valentines night wont help for games to be played by tomorrow night. (i myself am guilty of not getting all mine played so can't exactly do the hypocrite on it.)
so basically everybody has until next friday to get their groups finished. the following people haven't played any game yet, and would want to get their arses in gear: lorcan, pug, dabounca, vincent, mindphuck, tarzan, wario and tazzle.
the email addresses of your groups are there, it's up to you to get them played. if there are games still unplayed next friday, there will be dates and times set for the games to be played, and they have to be played or it will constitue a walkover. thanks to ol we have a second server up now, so if you are looking for a server for your games goto:
slosh.ign.ie:27960
or
slosh.ign.ie:27961
|
|
|

gamers using esat and ireland on-line should experience some excellent pings to our pals over at barrysworld now. just a meer 9 hops as opposed to 25+, should make things nice 'n sweet.

bigfoot has posted his review of the recently completed season 7 of the
href="http://leagues.barrysworld.net/bwq3dml">barrysworld quake 3 deathmatch league .
as usual, its excellently written and always a good read. here's some
snippets.
of all the clans in the play-off hunt i think bio.b might be the most disappointed,
they had chances to take 3rd but only got 2 points from their last 3 matches to miss out.
maybe this was due to them missing jedi who left the squad for real life stuff
mid-season..
hat deserve a lot of credit for finishing mid-table despite losing a number of players
this season to other clans and to inactivity (or the evilness of cpm / cs). they battled
on bravely despite these problems and pushed a number of very good sides very close, an
amazing achievement considering the quality of those players who they lost..
bio.r followed their teams example in most other competitions by probably recruiting
their way to victory, although they didn't take on as many players as bio.b or bio.ctf
they did add some names here and they probably helped to secure the promotion..
fh meanwhile are a clan who need something to kick start their bw campaign, after a
so-so season 6, dropping out of the ctf league and now a mid-table performance here they
seem to have lost some the interest a little bit. they still have a talented squad, and
with eircom peering in they might get a bit better connection..
anyways, go get something nice to drink, sit back and have a read.
part i -
introduction, stats & divisions 1a & 1b review
