| too much heat cannot be good for your hardware. some lads while being very board, was trying to see how much heat there hardware can handle.
this was going to take some thinking through, and some important safety precautions. we took neither. instead we decided to wing it. luckily, no one was killed (does not include people living in the state of florida or georgia).

the computer sports network today announced that it has partnered with the cyberathlete professional league to provide the official cpl rankings.
the cpl has established itself at the forefront of a new sport and this step further cements its role. csports will provide the design and maintenance to make a meaningful ranking system a reality.
the cpl rankings will aim to rank computer gamers who play in cpl endorsed tournaments and other selected events around the world. the ranking system will be based on systems used in other sports and will also form a basis of seedings for cpl tournaments. the first versions of the rankings will appear on the computer sports network site at the end of march.

the first week of the savage
tdm cup took place last night. groups 1 and 2 played out their games. the
irish contingency was from hatstand
in group 1 and acid in group 2.
hatstand came 2nd in their group by winning their first three games and narrowly
losing to 4k (*cough*). acid came in 4th in their group, loosing 3 games and
deafeating dn. if you take a look at the scores below, you can see that they
were all close games (bar the unr and 4k games).
hatstand 101 v 76 zieke puppies (

hatstand 91 v 46 legion
(demo)
hatstand 164 v 48 i cant frag (
href="http://www.quake.ie/html/demos-comments.asp?item=89" target="_self">demo)
hatstand 31 v 211 four kings
acid 30 v 169 unreal
acid 159 v 74 digital nemesis (

acid 81 v 94 star du x revival (

acid 74 v 93 alliance
(demo)

what i would like to bitch about is the crazy placings of the various top teams.
4k, unr, neo, etc were all placed in groups which they are not meeting each other,
thus guaranteeing that the top teams get out of the group to meet in the finals.
this pretty much makes participating in the cup for someteams a pointless afair as
they have no chance to get out of their groupings. i would have thought teams like
4k and unr should have been seeded and placed into a group of their own. but hey, im not a
sore looser, i pointed this out before we started the thing and we entered purely for the
laugh of it. i would like to point out that hatstand took the piss for the 4k game
as we knew we were gonna get destroyed. and no you cant have the demo  ))

a 15yr old boy has gone on a shooting spree in a school in california, about 10 miles northeast of san diego.
read more here.
i think that the media is the problem. they glamorize it so much, and make it seem "kewl" to shoot kids up at school. look at the attention this little shit got, for shooting his teacher's and class mates up.
what has this to do with quake though? well everytime this happen's they need to put the blame someware, and where better then computer game's?
does playing fps game's make you realy want to go kill you teacher? (shooting your boss is ok!).
should there be a higher age limit on violent game's?
also found this link which im sure was writen by an american.

the savagedm cup kicks off tonite at 7. with over 60 clans divided randomly into 16 groups this could make for quite an entertaining leauge.
best of luck to all irish clans taking part such as acid in group 2,
hatstand in group 1 and fh in group 4.
with such bizare match up's like acid vs unr ( at 7 tonite ), this could end up a nice "just for fun" leauge.

since a huge contingency of q3 gamers play starcraft (me being one of them), this will interest you lot. daishi from xs reality sends word on a new sc tournament. here's what he said :
i'm helping to organise an international starcraft tournament, with around 25 teams taking part. it's due to start in around a month, and be played on a weekly basis, with possible lan finals - depending on sponsors of course.
i'm looking for someone from ireland who can setup a team consisting of 6 1 on 1 players, and 3 2 on 2 teams. players can be in both 1 on 1 and 2 on 2.
i've been appointed an organiser, but if anyone else feels they want to do it, let me know and i'll pass this on. in the interim, drop myself or dashi a mail if your up for some serious games.
they're going to have a vote in a couple of days as to the tournament format. so far the confirmed sides are : america, australia, austria, belgium, bulgaria, brazil, canada, china, france, germany, greece, holland, italy, ireland, israel, norway, poland, russia, south africa, sweden, switzerland, uk. still looking for definate representatives from: denmark, finland, hong kong, singapore, spain and any other country you can think of.

xsreality asked 20 gamers (not all in ec3) about their thoughts on the new clanbase eurocup 3 ruling which was that teams must use the default network settings in quake 3, namely snaps 20, cl_maxpackets 30, cl_timenudge 0, unless a compromise can be agreed by both teams. you can find it here along with some other reports.
who do you think suffers more, isdn or the leased line players?
i think myself that the isdn people loose out more, but making the leased line players suffer becuase of other peoples problems, also doesnt seem fair.

the cpl are to run on-line amature leagues. the leagues will be in three divisions, cs, ut and q3. the purpose of the new league will be to enable average gamers, such as those who do not have the resources to attend a live professional event, to participate in online tournaments. the news comes from avault and is not official as yet. we will have to wait until the cpl announces exactly what they will be doing. stay tuned on this one.

i noticed over on quakenation a news item about the savage leagues are going to be on the same night as the barrysworld tdm league. it looks like the savage lads are still intending to run their leagues on the same nights as the barrysworld leagues. theres alot of mixed feelings about the whole thing. my own team, hatstand, entered the savage leagues only as an alternative to the bw league since we heard that bw may not be around for a 5th season. however, should bw have a 5th season and it is on the same night as the savage league, we will probably drop from savage to play in what we feel is the 1st league. your thoughts?

well maybe, read over at register that electronics boutique are looking at buying barrysworld, it's not sure which part though, but it could be taken over as soon as tonight! click here for more.

i read over at challenge-de that dev1il and pow3r have left formoza and plan to start a new team with pele.
how will this effect formoza, will they still be russia's #1 quake3 team, or will the new team with dev1il, pow3r and pele lay the smack down?
there are some demo's of the new formoza player's in a 2v2 on xsr which show the player's in action. they seem to have very high sensitivty like pele.

target="_blank">barrysworld league, bigfoot, the main bw league
admin, does a review of the entire season. and this season is no exception as he has
gone and done up two excellent and very lengthy reviews of the ctf and tdm league.

played out. you can read the ctf one

team 4z has an addition. today we have accepted in team two very good players and former leaders of their clans - mikes and lord. so lets welcome them, 4z-lord and 4z-mikes... and another thing - 4z-devil and 4z-power arent leaving our team yet...
i have never heard of these new memebers, the cyberquest 2on2 tournament went on the 25th held in moscow which formoza won beeting formoza team2 in the finals. pele won the 1v1 (pow3r came 11th).

jopasc sends word that he is organising the next qw european clan arena league at the moment. he is currently sorting out some links on uk gamer (ecal link at the top of the left column).
according to jopasc, you have about three weeks to sort out a clan and let him know if your entering etc. if your clanless let him know aswell. it seems that many people are interested so he can sort out a board for people to meet / recruit. for more details, catch him on #ecal on quakenet.

trinlan was a most excellent adventure. with about 5-6 teams in attendance, there was a
shit load of wars going down. the big games of the weekend was the head to head with ps
and nd. unfortunetly, due to lack of time and some eejeet plugging out
the switches on the 3rd game, only two games took place. both of which were absolute
crackers with nd loosing to ps on dm6tmp and loosing by 1 single frag on dm7!!! you can
slurp both demos below.
i also threw in another demo of the spinsol team taking on clan acid in a friendly
game. big kudos goes to skyclad and quozl for setting up
the lan and getting things in cool working order. well done guys and thanks for an
excellent weekend. when i get a breather, i'll do up a weekend review, but for now, heres
those demos.
nd v ps -
dm6tmp
nd v ps - dm7
spinsol v
acid - dm7
acid v fish
heads - dm6tmp
