OMG that is soooo fake/rigged/staged.  The idea is interesting I guess, but did you notice how the friends never once acted suspicious about this strange man taking their friend off to some dark area?  They never asked what he was planning on doing with their friend, and had no qualms about leaving with the man.  Very fake.

I rather enjoyed having the extra railgun (there were RL's too?) on different maps, was cool =)  And I've never been a big fan of quad/invuln, so I doubt I'll miss that much =)

Some amazing shots in that Polish Frag Fest 2 thing, really awesome.  BIG download, but fairly entertaining =)  Some definite WOW factor =)

The other one I'm working on downloading now, it's taking a lot slower, the latest Bubkez one.

Quake / Re: Member List

« on: June 28, 2005, 12:04:48 AM »

Actually, I just tried to login using "Punk>FAS>" and having my p-word e-mailed to me, and it says "user does not exist".  But I see my name on the member list?  So what gives?  I seem to remember a board change sometime in the past year or so (wasn't there?) and I think maybe the ">" character was no longer valid in user names?  Any help will be appreciated, thanks =)

Hi Punk,

Yes, it seems the new forum software is buggy and/or isn't supposed to allow ">" characters in usernames.  When we switched to the new software, we used a database conversion script that copied over all the old accounts.  So your old account survived the database migration, but the new software gacked on the name.

I've renamed your old account Punk_FAS.old so you should at least be able to access it if you need to.  I've also increased the post count on your new account by 39 to give credit for the posts on the old account, as well as set your new acount's creation date back to 5/29/04, the day your old acct. was registered.


Hope this helps,

Wow sweet!  This is quickly becoming the coolest/tightest Quake 2 community there is.  And in very large part due to your contributions console/admin, thanks very much for all that you do.  I know I speak for pretty much everybody in saying that we are extremely pleased with your efforts in helping this place become a great environment to have some good ol' classic "insert country of origin" fun =)

Polls / Re: Tourney 2nd Edition (Tourney Type)

« on: June 27, 2005, 09:53:06 PM »

I voted FFA =P  Maybe I should really make the migration to 1v1 and TDM since if I really want to improve my game (by having an on average much better skilled oponent), since I really do like seeing myself improve, and want to continue improving to my full potential.  Of course, fun is a big factor too =)

Woohoo, FFA tourney, I'm there! =)  Seriously, I love FFA =P  Not sure how that'd work though.  Actually I woulda done the 1v1 tourney too, but I'm a perpetual procrastinator, so I waited too long, and the match-ups were assigned before I realized things were getting to that point.

I forgot I had my original user name as "Punk>FAS>" just like my in-game name.  But I think I couldn't log in for some reason so made this one instead.  Any way I can combine the 2 to have one BIG post count?  Or should I just post 39 nonsensical posts to get back to where I was?  Also, would I be able to get my old account back?  Either delete it, or send the p-word to my registered e-mail address, etc.?  TYIA =)

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I think I used to use different aliases when connecting to servers with people I knew were on there playing, so I could have a safety net, that if I was playing crappy, they didn't know it was me =P  Fortunately I've stopped caring about the style I play, and am content being a human and having good days and bad days and everybody knowing about it =)  So I've been Punk>FAS> 99.9% of the time for at least 3 or 4 years.

Actually, just the other night I was on the rail server as SlimeBall, and I did ALL my firing crouched, and I never stood up.  It was crazy how many times people missed me when my only defense was crouching, and however quickly you can strafe back/forth in a crouched position.  I actually won a number of maps that way, sometimes convincingly hehe.

Sometimes I will use aliases as well, to spectate certain players that know me.  If for some reason they may feel any sort of pressure thinking/knowing I'm watching them, I will use an alias so they don't know it's me.  I'm sure most people don't care, but I used to feel pressure I think sometimes when people were watching me.

I just have fun now with the game, and play relaxed (mostly, occasionally I get a tad annoyed), and I end up playing a LOT better 99% of the time.  Attitude, and keeping your cool I think plays a big part in how well you play.

I've seen people mention about getting frustrated, and that making them more aggressive, thus trying to force things to go their way (what I used to do), and of course, often-times, they're in the wrong mind-set, and they end up continuing to play less than they're expecting, and just get more frustrated.

I guess I have a lot of philosophy on how to play the game the best way, and it seems to work for me most of the time.

hook is only good in lithium and ctf

wouldn't DM with hook be considered lithium?

no. lithium uses sv_airaccel 1 or whatever making the movement like qw with double jumps.. (but no strafe jumping)

Lithium had some weird-ass physics.  You could jump off a ledge, do a circle jump, and you'd boomerang back onto the edge you lept off of, weird stuff.

My original Quake 2 name was "Bloodlust", and I think I heard that word the first time from the game Heretic 2, or at least that's where the word stands out the most for me.  So I felt like that was a mean/vicious sounding name, so that's who I was.  Then I forget when, I guess sometime in my first year of playing, I started using various nicks, like Chump, Newbi-rific!!!, Clambake, Gordo, Athena, and a bunch of other ones, and I don't even remember now why I stuck with Punk.  It has no real story behind it.  I'm not a big fan of punk music or anything like that (which some people have assumed before), it's just like Punk, like a street punk, or "You punk!" etc. I guess.  Mainly it's Punk because I'm not very creative =)

Quake / Re: Dudez I'm better than you think (my demo)

« on: June 17, 2005, 11:20:36 PM »

Really I am!
To prove that, attached is a demo of me on LAN on a bad day (well it's a slight indication of me on a good day - better than nothing).
Ok, the dude I played in this demo ain't to good but hey, I play better against good players (when I have a good ping!).

When I have a good demo I'll upload that, too!

nah youre just as much of a newb as i thought you were, i watched your demo, heres some tips


learn to strafe jump, you move so god damned slow omfg, speed it up
learn to listen, dude wezer was able to sneak up on you without even trying, youre so deaf
on top of that youre on lan ping, your rail should be way better than that, lan rail is so easy
your dodging sux, work on it
oh rofl at your rocket jumps

seriously go download one of my demos and you will see a completely different match

I noticed the same things Banes did, but I'm too nice to point some things out =)  And, I don't think it's fair to give credit to wezer for "sneaking up" on the Dr, I think wezer just happened to be lost in the same area of the map as Dr C was, and neither of them were aware of the other's presence =)
