Spring time… Ah, the lovely smell of gibs in the air, bodyless axe-gripping arms littering the floors, singed backpacks lying by the lava pits, don’t you just love it? Busy weekend, with Ross (toilet) coming up to visit us and a good old set of one on one games with demos and every screenshot you could possibly want from the weekend at http://weber.ucg.ie/quake/news.html. Glad to see that “pretentious git” Sujoy is back on the web (he said it, not me!) with the latest news from the UK Quake scene, check it out at http://www.sujoy.com/. I’ve been trying to set the q2ffa1 server up for some clan matches, the dmflags variable is not doing what I want it to do, bring back the teamplay setting I say. And while you’re at it you guys in Id Software, you can pay me royalties for using my BFG-10000 (TM) in your new so-called game, Quake 2. I know you know that I had that first on my GI page when I designed our first clan skin, I mean did you have to read back issues of GI news and steal it from the most obvious place in the world (for reference, see http://weber/quake/news/0197.html). My lawyers will be in touch. And you know I will win, see what happened to 20th Century Fox (TM) when they tried taking on those guys who got the 21st Century Fox (TM) name before them? Heh! Uploaded the T3 and PGL final demos to quake.ie, watch Thresh in action, http://www.quake.ie/files/demos/ for now, will have a complete demos section coming to quake.ie soon.
