Quake Progress Update #1

I thought I’d give a progress updates of how my Quake experience is going. First off though, I do only see myself playing the occasional single player game on a PC, and some Quake deathmatch. Because I’m running Linux on my main workstation, there’s only a few games with native clients. Although, I do have dual-boot capability into Windows, I’ve not booted into Windows to play other games… Mostly because it’s slow to start-up, and I use it so rarely, I’m dreading the accumalitive updates :)

Quake IV

My Quake IV deathmatching skills are improving. I think this is mostly due to the maps becoming more familiar to me. Twitch skills certainly do take a bit of catching up (and I’m not yet back to me old level), but familiarity with the battleground, and the physics is key to area control.

QuakeWorld

Hah, whilst tracking down DocTea (DocTyrell) and Ruiner. I got persuaded into installing a QuakeWorld client (ezQuake) and jumping onto a 4on4 server for a quick bash! Bloody hell, the physics are over-emphasised! :D And the rocket speed, and no rail-guns! We were up against clan SD (?)… They kept asking us, “Which Division are you in?”, and Ruiner kept telling them, “Um… Division 2, 1997.” *chortle*

Now I’m on the hunt for Interphaz (Phazey), Grim, and Ravage.

Update: We’ve found PhaZey :D
