my buddy is in some clan called ompf or oompf or something like that i got him hooked on CSS

the old days i call it - cuz I sure do miss the old days of ET and RTCW I had a few servers that sat number 1 on RTCW and ET for a long time

All you all are reminding me of really, is that first person shooters have been done, and redone, and redone, and redone, and redone.

Then most of them started mimicing war, like RTCW, MOH, COH, BF1942, CS, CSS, etc, etc.
Same stuff, just spread differently. Why I dropped it.. totally boring. Doesnt matter how much you polish it, its the same boring war garbage.

Don't like the mentality of the players of these games either (99% of the time thier game play surrounds thier ego).

And who wants to play war anyways.. blah. Part of what I found appealing to freeze tag, it was an actual 'game' not a shoot'em up. hehe

Love me pirates...
I dont have to challenge anyone, and cannot be challenged when I do not with it.

I can agree on most part that the War Based games have been redone and refried one to many times

but I started on some of the originals - Wolfenstein 3d, Spear of Destiny, and Doom
then RTCW and ET

I dont play any of the others really - I found Pirates was more enjoyable before i ran out of quests atleast

Saw the date on that.. lol

Just making me feel older!!! subject change!!! j/k


Anyone see the movie "DOOM" it was modeled after the game which was Quakes predecessor, and John Carmack (the original master brain behind it all) was in the movie as a scientist (he gets killed).

My favorite line in that whole movie is when "Sarge" (The Rock), says "Im not supposed to die in this movie" just before he dies.. lol

Wow 12 years ago!

I Love that movie LOL! Man I havent seen that in years...

Heres some DukeNukem bits for ya - I was really big on the Map Editor towards the end - I built an entire hospital (3 floors, fly out windows using jetpack, parking lot - elevators and stairs - the works) using actual floor plans of the building...

The cafeteria was a big hit area, as well as the patient floors - dirty fighting was on the main floor where the offices were (small rooms conected by vents and back halways). You could raid closets for health and supplies or just steal them from patient rooms LOL Tthe BEST part was I designed 1/3 of the Hospital to actually blow up! - and if hit just a certain way you could actually destroy one side of the entire building! This left the side exposed with rubble to scrounge through but fly from any floor at the same time - a great project

Then, I went even bigger - and built an entire working NASCAR racetrack arena! Complete with 4 working race cars on an oval track, in-field setup, Grandstands and Garage areas (connected with ventelation for sneaking around the track using elevator sprites which actually work like teleoprters for those in sprite world - the race cars I used the train sprites and got them running on four programmable tracks...) You could jump onto the race cars drving by and climb in and shoot guys in the stands or the infield Pop out of vents right in the middle of the in-field or in any garage bays... it was my best work

Ah the good old days... if only DN4 would come out - and have an interface like that again I'd have to try to build them again

Max, your scarin me bud... We had a member that was doing just that (the Nascar track thing..) oh wait, that was a different game, not Duke.

But man, you brought back memories, I gave up on the title I now call "Duke For never" (it was supposedly going to be called Duke Forever)

Thanks... I needed that.

I wish Duke worked over the net, there used to be a way, but I dont think Duke even works under XP, last time I tried I had problems as I recall hehe.

Loved that game.. it was.. Groooooovy! I look good!

Time to start kicking *** and chew bubble gum.. and im all outta gum.

AWESOME!! MAX

I got into making maps and such using the q3 engine

the biggest ones I did as side projects are

1. An entire Pod racing arena using Starwars JKA Models !! - complete tracks, working usable racers, stands, pit sections, ramps for jumping across pits and weird stuffs such as lava etc..

was fun to toy with

2. was a full map of stargate with a gate, DHD, i never finished it i left off with it at the ability to Dial out on the gate and a wormhole could open - it was going to be where u can walk up and partially into the hole and it was basically a teleporter (so no actual travel through a wormhole LOL - was still working scripting for that cuz it could have been done)

both projects were never finished just sort of toyed with then tossed

One i did finish for a game was called Enigma (was about the Enigma Machine)
for the objective parts of the map - but it had side tasks and arena's including a cage match arena for one vs one practice and fighting, sniper range, and tons of goodies!!

I miss those days - course i did a map for a MOD called Wild West MOD too that one was fun but way way to large even with Hint brushes it still drew FPS down to far for video cards to handle at the time

old school memories LOL

and Duke Nukem - I had that game when it came out !!
was the first game I ever heard talk like he did **** "Its time to Kick @@@ and Chew bubble gum, and Im all out of Gum"
or when you goto the str|ppers and he says "wanna Dance", "Shake it Baby" etc.

or the Microphone he would sing Born to be Wild **** --- there was also a NON Censored version of Duke that you could enable too - which was even more wild

I have the Window 95 edition and got it to work in XP Even the expansion packs

The Ten Network (LOL Theres Dating Myself ) was the only way I knew to do it - without runing it over an IPX (old Novell protocol) network (which I had in my house at the time for LAN Parties )

I starred down this road.. but I missed Dukes sayings (no one could beat them LOL ) then I got playing this 'new' game called Command and Conquer with a bunch of guys... and that was the end of my FPS and into my new path of Map Making for RTS

But thats another story - and I got to catch a plane! (its running late... but not too late!) I'll be back later tomorrow

Scrooged! LOL, loved that movie.

Oh, man. There were quite a few of us that all traveled to have a LAN gathering. There were close to 30 people that showed up with all their gear in tow. We rented a conference room for Friday and Saturday and hooked everything up. Ordered pizza and for those that were old enough we stocked up on Grog.

Quake, UT, RTCW, and a few other games got a mauling that weekend.

I tried mapping, but could never quite get it right. It was fun to try though.

[SangrelX]

**** RACKAT!!!!

I might have to give you the Brand New Car I won from MAX!!

I didnt think anyone would know where that Catch Phrase came from! ****

I need to rent he Local Community Center sometime and hold a MASSIVE LAN PARTY!!!!


P.S. this is nuts but the forums keep Censoring the Acronym L-M-B-O (if you can say it in game lol shouldnt we be able to say it here?)

LOL! I can't think of the guy's name, but he played in a lot of the Police Academy movies. Loved that guy!

Well, since Pirates is not really a LAN game, it would be fun just to get a lot of people together in one conference hall to play. Then get some of the 'old' games like Quake, UT, or RTCW going.

Becca, a family friend, is the one that got me hooked on Pirates. She occassionally makes trips down to stay the weekend with us. She was here for the first round of double gold recently. It was great to be able to sit in the same room and just tell each other what we were going after. Made sinking the Omen, Juggy, and Behemoth a lot easier.

Zepper,
Very smart Vent or Teamspeak is an awesome tool for really any MP Games

I can get as many TS and Vent as I need right now -- perhaps I should setup a Public one for Pirates?

I will be using either Vent or TS for our guild if I ever get it to a decent amount of players


and to
Max - what did you mean you cant say LM?O in game

I see it used hundreds of times a day in game - are people technically not supposed to say that

ive never gotten into any trouble for it either - however if lol we arent supposed to use it I will start curbing that habit



OHHH P.S.

"Hello Rabbit" - Robert Francis 'Bobcat' Goldthwait
I love him in Police academy and his stand-ups LOL the speech impediment he has is part of his whole show and boy does he use it - gets tons of laughs
