Trouble Shooting / Re: Quake on Windows 10

Insightful

Hi,

I am trying to load Quake 2 on my new computer which uses Windows 10 64 bit operating system. It says not compatible with a 64 bit system. Is there any way around this?

I don't have W10 here, but there are definitely versions of Q2 that work on that OS.

Have you tried the q2pro installer? http://q2s.tastyspleen.net/

Quake / q2servers.com server move

Nice Job / Good Work

Hey all,
I'm moving some services to new servers. As part of this move, q2servers.com got a new IP. For those of you visiting the website or using a server browser, this is no problem. If you run a server though, the old IP may be cached until you re-issue the "setmaster master.q2servers.com" or restart your server.

Good thing it stayed a little more offshore than forecasted.

/dev/random / Re: Rowdy Ronda Rousey vs Floyd Money Mayweather

Well-Reasoned Argument and/or Conclusion

She got cocky and sloppy. Apparently she wanted to prove to everyone that she could stand and box with her. Rousey isn't a fucking boxer, even though she's trained at it a little bit, and that much was clearly evident to me just looking at her horrible sideways karate stance from the 1st second of the fight, which coincidentally is how most of these women fighters tend to stand. If you saw the fight before it, Valerie Letourneau in particular had a great stance and foot movement,... although her head movement was pretty shitty which is why Jedrzejczyk kept popping the shit out of her all fight long, she refused to roll and move her head around. It's something MOST of the women fighters are pretty bad at, and as bad as Letourneau was at it, everyone else is multiple times WORSE about it, which makes her one of the better boxers in the strawweight division.

This is how the greatest champs in MMA always lose. They win all the time and convince themselves they're unbeatable and predestined to win. It almost happened to Jon Jones when he fought Vitor Belfort back in 2012. He had been training in nothing but muay thai and kickboxing, convinced that it would be only thing he'd need to worry about, and he neglected his jiu jitsu game. He got sloppy, and Belfort basically SHOULD have won that fight except for the fact that he was unwilling to crank hard enough on the armbar he had locked on Jones to snap his elbow. Because Belfort has a conscience. Had he said fuck it and cranked until it broke, he would've been the light heavy champ. Which would've sucked, because then we would've never gotten to see that spectacular Jones vs Gustafsson #1 fight.

Same shit with Anderson Silva. He got cocky and sloppy and he got caught. And then when he got his mind right and put his whole head in the game, he ended up snapping his leg getting an outside leg kick checked on Wideman's knee, and that was the end of that story.

Same shit with Rousey. She didn't rely on her strength to win the fight. She never once shot in low for a takedown. She insisted on standing up and proving to everyone that she was a "boxer" too, when she's not. She's a judo and jujutsu fighter. She played into her opponents game plan and voluntarily gave away her advantage. And now she's always gonna have that 1 loss on her record. Yeah, she's a dummy.

Honestly I wasn't as impressed by Holm's boxing ability as I was with her sheer physical strength in completely reversing that one judo throw Rousey had locked up. Rousey had her up high, turned her hip and was trying to throw her. And then Holm just fucking manhandled her up in the air and dropped on top of her.  WHAT!?! That shit was impressive. Probably the most impressive move of the whole fight.

I started to bet big on this fight just like I did with last Rousey fight that got me paid pretty well (even though I had to risk a LOT, which made me pretty nervous). But something about this one made me say... nah, not this time. Glad I listened to my gut. I would've had to resort to robbing banks to get right-side-up again from what I probably would've lost.

Kinda glad Rousey finally took a loss. She was getting a little too big for her britches. She's been hanging out with far too many WWE "wrestlers" and trying too hard to inject artificial drama and hype into her upcoming fights to try to sell them better. And it's pretty insulting to long time UFC fans like myself who know that it's all just an act. It's fucking annoying to watch sometimes. Because really all we care about is seeing the best fight possible and a straight up no bullshit "competition". With guys like Connor McGregor, it's a little more acceptable though. Because with him, it's not so much an act. He REALLY IS that big of a loud mouthed chest-beating asshole in real life.

ps. Another thing someone might wanna take a look at... the 1st GIF 2d posted. Right at the beginning of that clip, Holm grabs Rousey's bra strap and uses it to jerk her forwards to the ground. Kinda cheap. Fighters aren't allowed to grab garments to advance positions, and I'm pretty sure that would fall under the same rule.

dm / Re: Commands

Nice Job / Good Work

There is one more thingy Barton in q2pro

cl_packetdup      Number of backup movement commands client includes in each new packet, directly impacts upload rate. Unless connected using Q2PRO protocol, hardcoded value of 2 backups per packet is used. Default value is 1.

All TS servers are r1q2 meaning using protocol 35 so q2pro is forced to use 2 backup packet per packet

Quake / Re: New interview with "Makaveli"

Insightful

Many years ago a ran into Makaveli or someone using his name on a CA FFA server.  I really don't know if it was him, but whoever it was definitely talked a lot of trash and challenged me to play him 1 v 1.  This guy was considerably better than me, but I did get some frags (in FFA) and he went off trash talking me, telling me that I would never get a frag against him if I played a man's mod (1 v 1) and I was a FFA no skilled noob, etc.  It was years ago, so my comments may not be exact, but it went something close to that.  I had heard the Makaveli name and did know that he was suppose to be a really good player, but being that I was not a TDM player, I did not know just how great this guy was.
