I like the part where the server saved me from an embarrassing ass kicking. 

Are you sure it was me?  I almost never use my name / clan tag.
I could have been Jesus for all you know.  Deathmatch Jesus.

I think a bigger question would be:  Why are they charging for a game that by all rights was free with a valid HL registration from the old WON days?  It's not included w/ that whole package now, TFC - Ricochet and CS or whatever it was, have to be bought separately if you don't have Orange Box?

I've been on the wagon - so to speak... for almost 2 years.

When I was not on the wagon, these were my faves:

New Glarus - Spotted Cow Ale
Beamish
Fuller's ESB
Franziskaner hefe Weisse
For Pilsners: Pilsner Urquell and Bitburger...
Lagers: Stella Artois and Peroni Nastro Azzurro
The New Glarus (I like small Wisconsin beers, as I live here) Moon Man Pale is wonderful too, if you're into microbrews.  Also, Magic Hat (#9, Jinx, and Autumn Mystery) is a good little brewery, as is New Holland (their Mad Hatter is phenomenal).

I really like a little bit ov everything and always loved trying new beers (hence the "now currently on the wagon" portion of the program - but did prefer micros and imports though,  as I find most American mass produced beers are just horrid.

That was my highly restrained / not-full-of-vicodin-tonight niceness pouring out.  I'm going for the kinder, gentler Carbon now; and hope you will like him better than the grumpy old, pissed off, and opinionated SOB you know and love. <3

My favorite was the part where if you pissed AZ off enough, he'd put up a locked server calling you a child molester (from his own IP no less)...  then deny it was him in forums.  Oh that guy.... gotta love him (in the butt... with a chainsaw).  Oh and anyone that bunny's is exploiting physics and therefore cheating.  He's been playing this game for "a lot longer than you and he knows".

Seriously, **** that guy... and his condescending yes man little butt-buddies Digger and Rocket-Man.

The Shrikemeister - as far as I know - is still a <[187]>.

Also, how can any of us forget Mother - BeerWineCombo?

When the only hook server (back in the day) was Free-Fall, the game was fun... because people didn't abuse it, didn't hook in the sky and sit up there with the Quad and nade spam the whole map (unless they wanted a kick or a ban).  People had class and didn't play like idiots because all the clans played and we were for the most part a friendly lot.  Hook made CTF as fun as it was in Quake 2 and there weren't too many lamers. 

I don't play on the "new" hook servers.  Not at all.  They don't have DMQ anyway, run 6 bots with lightning guns and stuff a map up with Quads on every item point, making the game super laggy to boot.  What's the point?  I hardly see how that can even be fun.

Edited for : I get too mad talking about this and tend to rant and bash people.

OK Guys... this is what we agreed on:

Prototype

Probably Final

Grapefruit Frenzy (because we <3 Rob) Edition

There has to be a way to blame this on the Obama Administration.  I just haven't figured it out yet.

This codebase is pretty large and is going to take some sifting.  The FC mod has given me a real leg up on doing a proper Quake in different engines thing, so it's something we've discussed... but as you say, the concentration right now is MP and getting it:  1. Functioning 2. Badass 3. Eye Candy and likely in that order of priority.

Hit me up on Failbook or MSN, Trix.  I need your Steam ID for my server's Users.ini file and keep forgetting about it... 

Ok.

I'm pretty confindent I can do the splash screens, most of the graphics area, menus etc.   I've got a pretty good handle on how to do the really nice ones you see in HL2 with the water and the birds flying and shit too... so it's just a matter of carrying the same idea to a more Quakey theme and shining it up.  I'm also going to have to get ahold of Dive again -  and see if he's all good with letting us use the DM3 and DBDM1 mapping source from your original DMC:S project. There are parts of his DM3 that would make a good Splash.

Also - I'm pretty good with the web design area if you aren't picky about your content management system - I can do Joomla / Drupal, a lot of PHP / .css stuff and custom art etc.  Good w/ phpmyadmin, mysql and .db management.

As for the mapping - here's the deal on that:  I'm still waiting on a few people to get back to me on the right way of getting Source to work with GTK Radiant.  It really isn't intended for it and I'm pretty sure the "right way" is ghastly, buggy, and missing half it's features, and will break my Radiant installation.  The flip-side of this is that I'd have to hunker down and figure out Hammer, which I'm not opposed to, but it's just soooo different it freaks me out. 

Get in touch with me Steam / MSN whenever and we can work out webserver details and all the snarky bits.
