shaky cam vids of rl, rg, machinegun and the darkmatter/anti matter gun (bfg in disguise).
to be honest, q4 is looking incredibly similar to q3 but with improvements graphically and otherwise.

if you have a team and you fancy some 4v4 q3ctf (or if you + 3 friends want to create a one-off clan), go and signup at the following url (6 spots left):
http://draven.p0wned.org/signups.htm
the ctf scene (or what's left of it) is quite good these days and even if you don't want to play, it should be a good show to watch on gtv so don't miss it.

the crazy polish fuc* carmac interviewed wheat who recently played a bunch of q4 at qcon, find his interview at ggl.
snippynippet:
carmac: does the game feel like quake 3/2/1?
djwheat: the game feels more like a combination of quake 3, doom 3, and quake 1. that may seem a bit sporadic considering each of those games is completely different in the way it's played and the feel of the game. but imagine if you took the best elements of those games and threw them into the multiplayer game and tweaked them to work together.
perhaps the new quake era will paint a different picture for the irish quake scene as we now have somewhat decent connections. someone also mentioned that there would be an mp test demo released before the scheduled release date of q4 (oct 11th). wow can't believe it's coming so soon. another thing is that it will most likely become the world tour 1v1 game of cpl next year.
personally i'll play q4 or et qockwars. cs 1.6 was chosen over cs:s so despite having a great deal i'm not waiting a another year for major tournaments. that and quake being 5000 times better than cs, even though i'm pretty awesomeo at that randomshizgame. smoouv.

it starts tomorrow (wednesday 10th of august) and will be on for 4 days.
schedule available here: http://www.quakecon.org/schedule.php
as idsoftware kept et/qw as a big surprise for e3, i think they will probably have some very good surprises on this year's show.
i expect the official announcement of their new intellectual proprety that will be using the new render engine on which john carmak is working on since d3 is released (see his 'recorded' keynotes from last year on gamespy http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/doom-3/539265p1.html).

just noticed on the jolt dml page that there is a ffa tournament starting. the format is not decided yet, as they're finalising a few things with feedback from the public on the jolt dml forum. i think i'll be a little bit too late getting broadband for this; and isdn doesn't cut it in 10 player ffa. it looks like a 1 night only affair, on the 16th of august.
"the tourney will start at 20:00 gmt (21:00 cet) with the ffa games running a full slog 20 minutes, a 10 minute breather followed by the top 5 or 3 (depending on how many sign up, i will confirm this on the 14th) going onto the next round, and so on, until we have a winner"
any of ye on a broadband connect should sign up to this if you think you'll be available that night - the last jolt ffa league was very good fun.

amazon.com is now taking pre-orders for the long-awaited “quake 4,” promising a release date of oct. 31.
game manufacturer id software previously said quake 4 should be in stores before christmas, but has not confirmed a specific release date. last year, release dates posted on amazon for doom 3 (also published and developed by id software) were correct.
amazon says quake 4 will have an "arena-style multiplayer that allows players to play as strogg or marine." whether this means that those will function as player classes or just models is unknown.
wendy zaas, a spokesperson for id software, would not confirm that amazon's
information is correct. "there is no official release date. it's when it's done."

not exactly quake related, but the guys over in unreal.ie asked me to let you lot know their alive and well and have been revamping their site. i must say, its looking very well. alot better than the version i once wrote for unreal.ie *sniff*, almost brings a tear to my eye  anyway, go here for a gander.

illkillya on boards.ie sends word that he is looking for qw players for this sunday night for fun and 4v4s, perhaps leading to something more regular if there is an interest shown. sounds like a sad attempt by some q3-rejects to feel like they're resurrecting an irish quake scene or something but have a read anyway at this thread and be sure to pop onto #quake.ie sometime on sunday night for some informal games - all welcome. except vin

not only is qw bigger than q3 it seems unreal tournament is too, what with gamecon lan attracting internet game superstar fatal1ty (moll in disguise) here.
and a promise of 2500 euro to anyone who can beat him.

it's official. put down your railguns and pick up your shafts, quakeworld is played more in ireland than quake 3 at the moment.
hail to the king, baby

irish salmon fishing, salmon fishing in ireland.
ireland is the only country in the eu still using monofilament driftnets, basically irish fishermen are slaughtering salmon across the mouths of rivers when they come back here to spawn.

ever experienced a bad trip after having taken a very strong acid? well prey definitely looks like the closest you can get to it (don't ask me how i know this, i won't answer anyway).
another beautiful looking and very original game licensing the doom 3 engine where gravity, portals, mad-looking weapons and out-of-body experience mix all together to give you what seems to be a fresh wind of novelty in the fps genre.

last night, nvidia threw a party for the release of their new geforce 7800 in san francisco. if you have close to a 1000 eur to spare, here is a suggestion on what to put them in:
http://www.1up.com/do/newsstory?cid=3141621
with impressive comments like:
"the 7800 series, [...] is nearly anywhere two to three times as powerful at processing graphics as the current geforce 6 series, even with high quality filtering, pixel edge detection (using multi-passes) and hatching shaders."
or
"... based on tests run using the unreal engine 3's engine citystreet2 demo, a single geforce 7800 gtx is faster than two 6800 ultras running in sli, by almost 30%."
the new nvidia card looks like bad news for ati.
isn't john carmack working on a new renderer? isn't he famous for having a close relationship with nvidia's engineers? watch this space ...

shady sends word about a new pickup channel which gives a chance to test the vq3 gameplay under cpma. it seems to have caught on very well, as there are already over 100 users in the channel, #vq3pickup. at the moment, most of the players are german and dutch, but they're striving for a more international mix.
theres a mention of the new channel on the qub website, here, mirrored on esreality.
accompanying the launch of the channel, they're running a 16 slot 1v1 cpma vq3 cup, all the usual maps - check out the qubism website for more details and coverage of the cup, as well as for information and faq on cpma vq3 in general.

i was browsing through some forums on quakeworld.nu and came across a post about the most rememorable 1on1 demo and it reminded me of the 4on4 demo (heh) between ireland and uk from a few years ago. one of those games you got to see to believe
download fuhquake and check this demo out!

right to get straight to the point, the what must be 4th et nations cup is starting again soon, ireland has been given an extended sign up deadline of april 10th which is tommorrow(sunday).
last years captains, nex and sol dont want to do the job, i've been thinking about applying for the position but wouldn't be the best prospective captain due to eccentric work hours. (fancy a 12hr night shift anyone?) however that might change if my current plan to get sacked goes ahead.
the other issue is player numbers: we just don't have enough decent and/or interested players for the squad, its 6v6 but at the very least you'd hope to have minimum 8 players, maximum 12 for the squad. i'm suprised at the lack of interest in the game from the q3 community here, especially as it is similar to q3 in ways (strafe jumping, physics, aim style).
basically this is an appeal to anyone who thinks they might like to try their hand at the game. i personally dont think it would take long to get up to scratch aimwise but the tactics and teamplay are more in-depth in comparison q3 with good comms a necessity, i guess a close q3ctf match might resemble et comms a bit. anyway if your interested try and stick your name down here by tommorrow evening
we'll try and get you up to scratch on how it was meant to be played by the time and maybe even during the cup itself.
p.s. mindphuck and melachi you still play et or want to play?

it seems that the lovely guys and gals over at eircom have decided to take the upgrade into full account after all. whether this be a little gift to us customers or a tactical move against smart telecom, who knows? the latter would make more sense in fairness..
so, whats the up's and downs of this upgrade? as far as i can see, there be only one and that is the download rate. no upload rate upgrade has been mentioned as far as i know.
so on with the jist.
---------
your current bandwidth reading is:
1.58 mbps
which means you can download at 202.24 kb/sec. from our servers.
---------
cool! 202kbs from blacknight.ie
wow you say? this is amazing, fast speeds !!!
yeah, until you realise your ping is fucked again. seems i've an extra 15ms added onto my connection outside of uk/ireland, so gg.
hopefully this will be fixed soon, so i can continue my eircom propaghanda against all other people on dif isp's with higher pings!
on another note, seems quetzal from galway has an uber leet connection (ping wise). 13ms to local servers, 26 to uk, 27 to netherlands, 38 to germany/denmark and 52 to sweden. this is with wifi, who'd of thought?

welcome to quakeworld! this manual covers most aspects of what you need to know in order to play, to enjoy and to be successful with this game called quakeworld.
this is a work in progress and is regularly updated."
qw for freshies is an extensive guide on quakeworld; containing everything you need to know about the game in order to get into the full swing of it. featuring detailed outlines of all the dm maps (including a sky view too!), explanations on the more common commands, a quick qizmo setup guide, hints & tips on jumping/bunny hopping.... this is definately one of the top guides to check out.
made by the main man himself, apollyon, he has recently made a few updates and there definately worth checking out.
