rumour has it, xsreality are about to embark on a new venture and create a new professional gamers league. the man heading it up is thorian who has a few different ideas how events should be ran. i would imagine it would be similar to the old pgl but it is quite interesting to see more pro-gamer leagues appearing and i'm sure, if its to promote gaming, everyone will welcome it. more news on that when it comes in.

rage over on esports-live.com has posted up his top 10 predictions for the qil questcon duel tourney. they can be read here
xsreality is exciting the nerds at the moment with an interview with some porn star wot plays ut. asia carrera is her name, and apparently when she's not taking it from 10 angles for the camera, she's taking it from rocket launchers. has her own website and servers and the lot. the interview is here.
nothing going on in irish news really, apart from the bw league updates that m1ke & co have reported on already. i myself am going off the cigarettes "cold turkey" starting tomorrow morning, from 60 to 0 quicker than a subaru imprezza, check out my column for updates on my extreme pain as the week runs on.

bigfoot has posted his review of the barrysworld dml season so far on quakenation with news on the irish clans :
div 2c: i think if any sides are going to break up ea/mr it will probably be either ps or bio.
div 3b: hat lead substantially on frag difference, and would be many peoples tips to take the title

as you may have noticed 1.27g is terrible on fps.
so the lads at shugashack decided to remedy this by compiling dlls that run faster than the code that comes
with quake3 out of the box.
in the old 1.17 patch similar dlls sped up yor fps but slowed down your movement on the server - good and bad. but now with 1.27 thats all fixed so they just speed up your fps i.e. it's all good.
get the speed dlls for normal quake3 (no team arena) here and the speed dlls if you have team arena here

sujoy was quick off the mark with this one - maybe because he's living in california.
fixes and additions
- fixed james model bug
- cd key read correctly when starting from q3a vs ta shortcuts
- handicap exploit fixed
- bot routing bug fixed
- potential 20 fps increase for some clients :-)
- sensitivity is back how it was
notice the last one. dont worry about it being introduced on the servers just yet but we like to
keep you informed of these things. if you want to give it a go, you can find it in our files section and if your too lazy to even move the mouse to the left a bit then click here
maybe canni will stop moaning now? nahh 
23:07 - seems the patch is backwards compatible - thanks m1ke - so download it!

girls n boys,
we want to make a decent collection of irish demos, i mean duels n stuff, not just iq3cl demos. if you look on the bar there on the left, the demos upload lets you upload any demos on your machine.
get uploading some demos til we make a decent collection.

1. ocr-stelam
2. *aaa* vipere1

4. pow3r
polosatiy lost to vipere1, and kane lost to menendez. the full coverage is as usual over on xsreality.

ok, it's about time we kept people up-to-date on the quake servers available to players from quake.ie.
1. vishnu.ign.ie:27960 - this is the main server on the default port. it runs the osp 0.99n mod. still running 1.17 for the moment.
2. vishnu.ign.ie:27961 - same as above but running osp 0.99p which supports q3a 1.27g. i recommend any quake3 player to update to 1.27g as soon as possible.
3. vishnu.ign.ie:27962 - strider's cache-4. this server is running the latest test version of striders quake experiment to reduce online latency in q3a 1.17. recommended.
4. vishnu.ign.ie:27970 rocket arena 3 server. nice...
any questions or help email overlord@skynet.ie

a new version of osp with 1.27g compatibility has been released. it's mean't to clear up a load of bugs but of course there's some problems with it. the changes in this version can be read here. oh and this is version q, soon they'll make it to z and people can use osp as a medium to teach children the alphabet.

| wiseguy has written up a "spectator's guide to q3dm7" which covers just about every teamplay aspect of the level without going into overly advanced tactics. its easy to understand and even has some useful overlays of the map to help you out, everyone into team dm should have a look at this...heres an extract...
a respawn will have by game default 125 health (they cannot be killed in one shot), and one machinegun with 50 bullets. out of those 50 bullets it is quite common to have 25 percent accuracy and have about 13 bullets hit the intended target. with each bullet doing 5 points of health damage, that is 65 points...not quite enough (you need 100) to kill one player...but put two respawns on one player and you can see it quickly reduces the target into a respawn themselves. teams will "cess" an area by dying, respawning, attacking until they die again and the cycle just repeats...
read the full guide here.

ok, youve asked for it, you got it. the new demos upload facility lets you guys upload a demo from either your own pc's hard drive, or from another web site. (ie, your own homepage, etc). you dont even need to download it yourself. and the best thing is, it doesnt use up your net, just set it going and off you go and play games. just keep your browser open for the duration of the upload. anyway, i hope to see loads of demos getting uploaded now that you can do it easily. have fun.

just a few bits
and pieces from the uk quake3 scene in summury here.
clan
titan folded
after a high profile
launch in october ti looked like they could be the uk's 3rd clan at one stage,
things didn't work out and they folded. a interview with seccy can be read over
at quakenation.
uk
la5 team announced
a very suprising
selection was made here by the
oga. the panel of 10 selected were unr-luke, unr-blokey, unr-rude, dc-war18,
dc-mozilla, neo-chamber, unr-tasan, z-harl, neo-nocode, dc-zoser. the absence
of 4k members (even though relic and scruffy trialed) is down to the fact they
already recieved sponsorship to attend la5 as 4k and not the uk team. some interesting
reads on the selection can be found at challenge-uk at z-harls
column and the comments made over at xs
reality.
wpdml
season finished
this league finished
around 2 weeks ago. fh did well in their wpdml group coming 3rd in their division
next to demonic core and fed. it's the uk's second deathmatch league now that
the clan wars dml is no longer due to be played. the clan wars league concluded
with z taking the title, and with bio runners up. otherwise the news has been
a bit slow recently with most leagues and comps being suspended over the christmas
break.

well they say it's better late then never... and it's late  the formal excuse going around is that quake.ie was down for a period and after that i ran into comp problems but i hear the word on the street is different.
that's that ! the league is over, with 28 games, 18 were played and 10 defaulted. at the end of it all nd win with a flawless record.
final standards
winners : na dagha
runners up: bring it on
3rd: se7en
4th: fh
5th: protected species
6th: acid
7th: irish rangers
8th: hurlin
statistics :
nd had the largest frag difference with 490
bio scored the most frags with 871
ir had the smallest frag difference with -646
acid had the most frags scored against them with 791
player preformance based on frags :
1st bio-boom 271
2nd bio-skelter 197
3rd nd-podgeen 154
interesting facts:
bio-boom scored 2.10077 times more frags then the irish rangers clan put together and .6 times the frags of clan acid.
1.)m1rv moaned the most, simo barked the loudest (woof) and skelter remained more silent then a nun.
2.)na dagha used the most french and irish while speaking on servers
3.)ir had the highest pings averaging around 999
4.)nd caused the most scandals/flame wars, followed closely by ps
5.)members of h talked the most bullshit in the scandals/flame wars
6.) fh did the most blackmailing/threatening of admins

clan 4kings from uk are on their way to the lan finals of eurocup 2 after beating the german favorites sk by 3 maps to 1. most people really expected sk to win comfortably but i think they underestimated 4k and 'paid the price'....yes. 4k will now face some of the world's top q3 clans (allstars, ocr, 4z, evol) at the eurocup 2 lan finals to be held soon. demos and a decent report are up here.

along with both the release of 1.27 and id software's team arena, the guys at challenge-world have released the pro mode version of team arena. cpma also offers a large subset of match/player controls, as it has incorporated much of osp's code base. features such as multiview, client authentication, referee/player/admin control options, and stats are all included in this beta release of cpma. anyways, like a good boy, off you go now and download it locally.
