Okay Dokay. Heres
some Quake and Quake 2
reviews. I would have had more but its a case of broken download links
again. I've given the links page a quick cleaning.
Also here is the running order for the Featured Author articles :

I'd like suggestions
for more authors, if you have any ideas then please do email
me.
<p>Now
I am once again going to explain something. Deja vu anyone? I am *hoping*
this will be the final time I have to do this. I've mentioned this quite
a few times and it is clearly mentioned on the submit levels page. WE
ARE NOT ACCEPTING REVIEW REQUESTS FOR Quake 2 FOR THE TIME BEING. Now
to further explain, this means at the moment we do not want review requests
for Quake 2 send in. Not in any shape or form. That said if you can get
your dog to talk the request to us, then that would be cool. Anyway, the
last bit means eventually we will be accepting again and I will put a fugging
big notice up in bright neon writing to say so. Ok... understood... actually
I bet this wall behind my computer understands better than some of you
people, you know what, I'll ask it...
Paul : Hey
wall, can I ask you a question?
Wall : Sure
thing, fire away.
Paul : Ok,
what does the phrase "We are not accepting review requests for Quake 2
for the time being" mean to you?
Wall : Well
I think it means that at the moment you don't want any requests in whilst
you get the backlog cleared. Once thats done though you will be accepting
them. That right?
Paul : Spot
on.
Wall : I also
think that if you did get any, you'd just bin them.
Paul : Yeap.
See what you
people have done to me, you've driven me *MAD*. I'm talking to inanimate
objects now... lock me up now... Oh and one further thing, I bet you type
of people have other problems, like with controlling your bodily functions.
I recommend you read this
page several times, it could save you a whole lot of mess.
Enough madness
=). Some sad news. Yesterday marks the end of an era in map reviews. Ramshackle
has now closed. Very little is explained as to what bought about this,
other than the well used "its time to move on" phrase. The site will be
sorely missed for its unique style of reviews. I thought things were just
getting going again there since the site had its new look. Not to be though.
Good luck to Jeff and Ramshackle crew on whatever they do next.
Now I've also
heard that Deathmaps which was run by Dohnut has closed. I'm hoping we're
aren't going to see a sudden collapse in review type sites. Whilst we do
a lot of reviews here its not really of the indepth type. Now I was trying
to get something similar going here but my efforts has been stopped by
the people involved disappearing. If anyone is interested in doing such
a thing here then drop
me a line so we can discuss it further. I would like to make clear
that MPQ isn't going anywhere, I intent on being around so I can review
Quake 3 Arena maps =).
The Fribulator
is well and truly back. Not only did he release two maps earlier in the
week but he has released a third map, Maelstrom
(305Kb), and has done the biggest update on
his site that I've ever seen.
Cheshire
has changed the look on his site, again! If you like orange then you're
in for a treat here.
For all those
tweak monkeys out there you'll probably want to see this
page, its a tweak guide for the q3test which is aimed at Voodoo3 owners.
Most of the stuff on the list though isn't V3 only, so anyone can use the
hints.
I spotted on
Friday that Unreal is now a year old. Like hooray and stuff. It still sucks
in deathmatch but at least it a little less buggy now.
