/dev/random / Re: Memorial Day

Wins The Internet

My Dad served in WWII, his unit fought in the "Battle of the Bulge".  One of his medals was for repairing and running new comm lines in the middle of enemy artillery bombardment.  My Dad and another guy went into the bombardment zone and repaired existing cables and then went back and got another spool of cable to run a back up comm line.  I remember talking to him about this mission.  He told me that they would run with cable spool until they could tell by the whistle that the bomb was about to hit.  When the bomb was close, they would dive on the ground until it exploded.  Once it exploded, they would get up and run until the next explosion, going side to side because the Germans were alternating their coordinates.

My family was lucky, my dad and his two brothers who fought in WWII all made it home.

Thousands of soldiers never made it home. 

Today is about honoring them and their families.  Without the service of these people, this world would be a different place today.

I am offended by the word Kill and Frag, Frag sounds to much like F@g, both of those words should be banned.  Guns are used for violence, I think all references to guns should be removed from the game.

Insightful

I thought the word Gay meant Happy.

I could see it used on the server as "Everyone had a gay ole time on the server"

Quake / Re: Quadz, the Loquaciously Multiloquent Member

Insightful

While I did not know him personally, his actions & gratitude painted a picture of someone I appreciated & respected.
This person did more for the Q2 community than anyone I ever knew.
I hate to just talk about the gaming aspect, but this game would probably be gone without his efforts.
I am going to miss him greatly.
