And it comes that time again when Alex dissapears for a week to go play Quake3 in some mystical land. Tomorrow I set forth towards the uncharted land of Texas, to sweat, swim, and play games for a bunch of days with 1000 other people!

Have a good one. <p><img src="http://holyknight.homestead.com/files/magnatag.gif"></p><i></i>

What you travel to play Quake III? <p><center><img src="http://www.strike9.com/file.aspx/path=/Docs_Fox/fullsize/pubimage.jpg"><center>" How many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful country of ours?

Yeah, it's really fun to meet up with people you know online, as well as play Q3 with no lag :)<br>I really enjoyed myself; however, it was far too short, I think. Three days plus one (half) day, which was basically the closing ceremony and packing up. Oh well--I just swam in the hotel pool in sunny Texas after the last day. :) <p><center>Stig opp på min trone bleke lik<br>Fall på kne er død i ett foran mine føtter<br>Ta imot mitt kalde kyss på din panne<br>Jeg har lagt veien som fører til Helvete klar</center></p><i></i>

I wish I cared enough for FPS's to get Quake III ;.; Unreal Tournament has left me SOULESS. <p><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="50%"> <p align="center"><img border="0" src="http://ssjnater.netfirms.com/xenosaga.jpg" alt="The Will to Power" width="300" height="225"></td> <td width="50%"> <p align="center"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.reikitantei.net"><img alt="Rei Ki Tantei" src="http://ssjnater.netfirms.com/logosmall01.jpg" border="0" width="90" height="30"></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="2"><b>Nate RFB:</b> Der Wille zur Macht</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.musicvideoarena.com/JZ/index.htm" target="_blank"><img alt="Jagan Zoku" src="http://ssjnater.netfirms.com/smallban3.jpg" border="0" width="90" height="30"></a></td> </tr></table></p><i></i>

UT suxx0rz ;P<br>Doom ]|[ is coming out soon, which looks great, but it's going to be a single player game mostly, so it's not going to have much of an impact on the FPS community, I think. Unreal Tournament 2003 and Quake 4 are going to be the big games, as I don't see Return to Castle Wolfenstein being that popular much longer :P <p><center>Stig opp på min trone bleke lik<br>Fall på kne er død i ett foran mine føtter<br>Ta imot mitt kalde kyss på din panne<br>Jeg har lagt veien som fører til Helvete klar</center></p><i></i>

I've got Unreal Tournie recently, does not run very well at present, so I have not attempted online (I don't want to be at the mercy of Online gamers while my PC is messing up with URT). I've tried Quake 2. I didn't do very well. On Reflection, it might of been an idea to set my right mouse button to "jump", as as a Space bar, it was hard to reach. <p></p><i></i>

what controls do you use? I find using the arrow keys or esdf best for quake1-3 :) I haven't played too much UT, but I'd imagine it to be the same, with esdf or wasd. :) I'm currently using spacebar as jump, but it does feel kind of awkward :P <p><center>Stig opp på min trone bleke lik<br>Fall på kne er død i ett foran mine føtter<br>Ta imot mitt kalde kyss på din panne<br>Jeg har lagt veien som fører til Helvete klar</center></p><i></i>

I reckon the way most of the Quake 2 players were jumping, they had jump set to the right mouse button. I mean, you don't have any secondary fire, right? The Space bar is strangly annoying to reach. Imagin, you are being chased, and you're using the arrow keys. Then, you realise, you need to jump, to make it to your escape route. DANG! It is impossible to bend your little finger to reach the space bar and the ^ key at the same time, well almost. They people I were playing were freaking Jumping beans. It was quite annoying. Another thing which can be annoying, changing weapons. <br>I have not put it into much practice, but for games like Quake, where the weapons all have single functions, the right mouse button would make an ideal extra button. I'm setting mine to jump, even when there are secondary functions(you don't use them much, and they tend to be the sorts of functions that are akin to snipering, so you can afford to take your hand away from the mouse or arrow keys. But I guess it could be used for switching weapons instead, as that is difficult... Though, I wonder... Would the number keys down the right side work for weapon changing? If my ideas work, and help you to win, please tell me, so I may know to use them myself... <p></p><i></i>

Well, you're just using crap controls ;o<br><br>My controls are:<br><br>e = forward<br>s = back<br>d = left<br>f = right<br>r, g, k, w, a, 1 and 2 = weapon binds<br>mouse 2 = weapon ;o<br>space = jump<br>mouse3 == nothing :P<br><br>and they were strafe jumping ;) You move much faster when you strafe jump. <p><center>Stig opp på min trone bleke lik<br>Fall på kne er død i ett foran mine føtter<br>Ta imot mitt kalde kyss på din panne<br>Jeg har lagt veien som fører til Helvete klar</center></p><i></i>

Use your pinkie to press space? This isn't typing class, what happened to your thumb?<br><br>if htere's one thing I HATE HATE HATE about the mac keyboard it's that he arrow keys are all teeny weeny little buggers, then again I've always hated arrow key navigation...<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://bishydbd.netfirms.com/digitaldataporn007.jpg"><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Jello FOR THE Jello GOD and Spoons for the Spoon throne of Khorne!</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br>"From my parents home in Wyoming I stab at thee!"<br> <p></p><i></i>

Well, then don't play fps games then. <p><img src="http://holyknight.homestead.com/files/magnatag.gif"></p><i></i>

My thumb is trying to hit the => key...<br><br>Playing a computer game is not typing. <p></p><i></i>

Exactly, playing a game isn't typing so you don't have to use your pinkie to hit space...<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.atanime.com/v1/i2/images/culture/fukuikenji.jpg"><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> "Yes, Take it Ota!"</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br> <p></p><i></i>

Yes, but it is the only digit that is any where near the space bar when using the arrow keys to move... <p></p><i></i>
