Mixed up ^

by Paul - Wednesday 29 November 2000 @ 01:36

Fat Controller has done 3 reviews in the last day:
RICH_BAR by QuakeMapDesigner
Infernal Base by moRgoth
Violence 2 Silence by Ajay 'INhabitaNT' Fry

Looks like they got mixed up in my reviews so you couldn't tell what was new... so that gives me something else to fix.

A moist 4 for you this cold evening:
My Brain Died Yesterday by Fat Controller
Warfare 3 - Nubian Chicken Sex by Gonzo
Reinc 2 - Return of the Sexer by Gonzo
Progenitor by Spin Doctor

So what have I been doing to the poor site? Well one rather important thing was to get it so that Fat Controller and GrindSpire can update the site without having to get me to upload their screen shots. With that now done updates should be more regular (honest!). I've also added other things like what the assigned reviewer to a map is on the pending maps list and comment counts to the sidebar for the reviews.

Bilirubin emailed me with details of a Quake server hes got running which has some of the maps from the site. Go here for more details:

And before I forget, I got this interesting email. Aren't people so nice?

Great White Hunter ^

Joe Hunter, that is. Ol' Fatty's just been downloading his maps and looking about at three of 'em:
Hallway
Lost Goods
Midnight Silence

More reviews are forthcoming... if ONE of them doesn't make me kill myself first.

Fixing stuff ^

by Paul - Sunday 26 November 2000 @ 02:52

I'm currently fixing parts of the site. Apparently the Rants/Interviews section of the site has been broken for ages... and nobody emailed me on it :(. Anyway its fixed now.

I should have a review up later on tonight depending on how long my fixes take.

Well, look who's here ^

by Fat Controller - Thursday 23 November 2000 @ 04:37

Yes, it's Fat Controller, cub reporter at MPQ. Must mean Inspection's finally dead.

Anyway, little ol' me's done reviewed:
Deathmatch Chaos by Shadowdane
Where Souls Burn by Gizmo
The Forgotten by Auhsan

I try to be fair to everything I'm likely to run across, but don't worry, I'll get over it.

All lies! ^

Ok, I've not had enough time to get things done, so shoot me.

This leaves me with a problem... Its probably become obviously apparent GrindSpire and myself can't keep the site updated regularly enough. So drastic action is required (or not as the case may be). Expect some news on what is going to happen soon.

Still here! ^

Ok, so my new fangled Dreamcast is totally responsible for no reviews over the weekend, but I shall resist its temptations and put some reviews up tonight.

New review + Ye Olde MPQ ^

by Paul - Thursday 16 November 2000 @ 04:34

The GrindSpire has done a review! No really…
Vitriolically Obliterate by Killazontherun

Also look what I found… a couple of pages from the old MPQ just after Taskmaster had left. The 1st page is the index page, which had the request for a Quake DM reviewer, which yours truly went and got :). The second is one of the review indexes with a review of an old Quake map I did called Locked In as reviewed by TaskMaster. Just look how short his reviews were!!!

Midweek Madness ^

by Paul - Wednesday 15 November 2000 @ 05:03

4 reviews tonight:
Safe1 - Instant Impact by ziffon
Safe2 - Walk the Walk by ziffon
A Copper Cloud by Tronyn
Nowhere to Run by Kayin
There won't be as many reviews as last week since I'm a bit busy with RL stuff.
