IGN Half-Life Servers

Testing out two HL servers on my machine at Cloud.IGN.ie:27015 (FFA) and 27016 (TFC). I'd see you there, but I don't have the full game (you can download the server version for free!).

IQ2CL Default Win

After getting a team together for our q2dm5 IQ2CL game on Sunday (23/05/99), our opponents TUK didn't show so we got a default win! Not sure if I should be happy or sad...

IQ2CL Losses for GI

It's been a tough few weeks for GI in the IQ2CL. We've lost all three of our games so far, which I guess could be put down to a lack of practice for (and knowledge of, in my case!) the Quake 2 levels involved.

First loss was to DzR on q2dm1 (25/04/99), losing 132 to 50, the second was to HIV on q2dm2 (02/05/99), losing 119 to 22, and last week's (16/05/99) scores are shown below.

VWep with SeP

Posted Fri, 03/26/1999 - 17:00 by John Breslin

An interesting photo shoot took place on ffa1.quake.ie:27501 this morning with photographer SeP and QuakeWorld's new VWep model, Cloud-Schiffer. If you're interested in getting this exclusive new evening wear for yourself, you can order it now from our new online catalogue at ftp.quake.ie and hang it in your very own "quakevwep" wardrobe (check out vwep.txt in the file vwep.zip for more details).

Spud's Last Day

Posted Fri, 03/19/1999 - 17:00 by John Breslin

Thanks to all who showed up for Spud's testimonial last night. We had a great turn out from Spud's former clans GI, CP and Moo. On IRC we had a special guest from Stanford, Poor_Monkey... Spud was really chuffed to see him too! Some of the other people who turned up to say hello yesterday included DC-Carnage, DC-MNK, DC-Nightwing (had to go off :/), CP-Lucifer, Granny-Moo, ^Spud-Moo, WHA-Bunny, SPG-Baggins and SPG-Toast. Thanks also to Hakeem for providing us with the SK practice server at the last minute to play on.

q1edge Released

Tim Willits has released a version of the Q2 map "The Edge" for QuakeWorld, apparently it was redone for the Quake arcade game with a few extra teleporters. I've added it to the war1 custom map list, and it's available from q1edge.zip on ftp.quake.ie.

#spud Tonight

We're having our going away games for Spud (ex-BB, CP, GI, Moo) this evening, come along to #spud on QuakeNet IRC at 7.30 PM.

Spud Testimonial

Posted Mon, 03/15/1999 - 17:00 by John Breslin

Spud is leaving college this Friday, so I am trying to organise a testimonial match for him this Thursday night at 8 PM (server TBA, probably Janet). We hope to have a good showing, so far we have lined up Carnage and Nightwing from DC, Mouserat and MoonGlum from GI, Granny and ^Spud from Moo. If you're interested in taking part, let me know.

We'll be gathering in #spud on QuakeNet beforehand at 7.30 PM. See you there!

GI Pages at Quake.ie

I was talking to Euclid yesterday and he told me there was some problem with our hosting on Barrysworld, something to do with missing banners, so we've moved back to Clans.Quake.ie/GI again! I'll keep this page going for now, it fills the void that Cloudlands and the GI news section left in my life :D

Quiet Times?
