Some good news on the KTimPAKt, its now been released! The finished pak consists of 8 Quake 2 maps and a small mod has some new DM features. I've not properly played it yet but from just running about the map I've seen some pretty impressive stuff.

I now have the Unreal Tournament demo and have to say I like it over the q3a test. Yes, one is only a test (as I keep being reminded) whilst the other is fully finished product, but UT is just so much more fun to play. I'm working on an article about it and hope to have that up soon.

The Big House updated with a couple of new reviews earlier in week. Pop over to see some more quality Quake 2 maps.

I got an interesting email earlier in the week, heres a cut & paste of it:
If you didnt already know we are running a quake 1 mapping contest (More details at: www.converted2.com/bmd ), and the winning map gets inclusion in the new q22p map pack after being converted to q2 by me..  But to cut a long story short we are looking for people to enter the contest (is a 1 on 1 map)
Its an interesting idea, but its not something I'd be interested in doing. If thats your thing pop over to their site for full details on.

The master of hype, El Shambino, caused a bit of a shit storm in the last week or so with his DKT vs Q3a article. Again, another well written article, pop over to speKtrum for more.

First Update
Good morning! Here is an odd numbered batch of Quake reviews for you to enjoy.

The Unreal Tournament demo is out and I'm nearly halfway through downloading the 50Mb monster. Reactions I've heard from various peeps in #terrafusion have been good so I'm looking forward to playing it.

I do have the usual ramblings, but I'll put them up later.
