TeeGee on ClanBase

I’ve created the TeeGee clan on ClanBase. Primarily as a place holder for any Enemy Territory: Quake Wars fun we have. For the TeeGee guys: If you’re a member of ClanBase, send me over your player ID and I can add you as a member. Or if you’ve not signed up to ClanBase, you can sign up hyar.

TeeGee: The Resurrection?

Now that more and more TeeGee folks are back in communication. Talk has turned to the re-union LAN party and games to play. Grabbing a date has proven difficult, some folks have various commitments, especially in the run up to Christmas, and New Year.

The current date being bandied [sp?] around is March 2007, which co-incides with the launch of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (currently slated for 30th March, 2007).

Other talk is afoot about a possible reformation as an Enemy Territory: Quake Wars clan! Oh man, now I need to go and change my underwear… AGAIN!

Now, I’m not a supporter of EA, mostly because they sell adware, treat employees like crap, and produce production line games. But I am a fan of community, and mechanima, and this movie is a great example of how community can support a game long after its release date. Anyone who’s played any of the Battlefields (or indeed any team game) will get this one:

ezQuake and Re-Texture Screenshots

yibble — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 07:00:22 +0000

Here’s a few screenshots from last night’s QuakeWorld session. The client is ezQuake, and the high resolution textures are from the Quake Re-Texture, and Quake-Remodeling projects.

Notice how Olli always appears top of the leaderboard? For some reason, I don’t think he stopped playing Quake when the rest of us did :D Yes, we’re in touch with Olli, or Ollli as he now calls himself. He hangs out on #stoner.uk (QuakeNet)

QuakeWorld, and sLaughterhouse

yibble — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 07:03:02 +0000

Ruiner, DocTea, ScanmaN and I had a quick 2on2 session in QuakeWorld last night, on DM2. Some of us were testing out the Quake Re-Texturing/Re-Modeling projects. Once we’d finished the 2on2, we then flipped the server over to FFA, at this point, three other people joined. We then had ourselves a jolly little show-down.

Also, the sLaughterhouse is now running the reduced map cycle of 1on1 (ish) maps. I’ve also had Punkbuster installed, so when we do temporarily open the server for public access, we can do some anti-cheat stuff. For private use, the latency introduced by Punkbuster isn’t necessary.

Also, I’m going to try and get some dates together for the LAN/Online party. I’ll post some dates on the TeeGee Google Group, and we can beat out a date that suits us all :)
