Sjonsson, make it happen!

Every since Quake 2 came out in that cold winter of 97 I've been playing this fanatically. At least once every 2 years, I play through the campaign again. Even though I know it by heart and it has absolutely no surprises for me anymore I still love the shit out of it. It will always remain one of the best games I've ever played.

Of course I'm playing it vanilla with only a widescreen patch applied.

Will the voice that announces "Double Kill, Multi kill, etc" be on Helium too?

Ah, I missed this man. I've been emailing back and forth with Jim. Great that they did that. Hopefully it draws in new blood.

There's no such thing as a "for fun" quake tournament. Serious faces.

That's what people say who suck

Sounds to me like your wife could use some alone time too. I know child care is expensive but let her go to work again. Something part time so you don't have to rely on child care that much. Something you can combine with your work. It would give her a breather too.

Also and this is of course, none of my business, but why would you isolate yourself so much? I for one have a lot of friends nearby but almost no one to support us with our daughter. That's why I'm working my ass off on renovating and hopefully selling this house by the end of the year. This would allow us to move closer to....well, to help basically. Because doing it alone is rather difficult. I can't imagine how difficult it would be with 2 children.

This isn't relevant for you though, since you bought that house and there's no escaping that now. So I would really encourage your wife to find something part time, use a minimal amount of child care and really make an effort in creating some room for the both of you.

My wife said she would remain home with our daughter until next year, but guess what, she's currently at a job interview because she's going crazy being cooked up inside all day taking care of a baby. It's understandable because I'm at work a lot and even I feel stressed sometimes when I'm taking care of business at home. That's why we've created and are creating time for ourselves. Because before we did that all we were doing was fighting. Both being exhausted, no space for yourself and constant stress does that to couple. I was seriously thinking our marriage wouldn't survive so we both talked it over and made changes accordingly. Now, everything has been going much smoother.

It seems to me that somewhere a long the line you guys lost yourself and you need to find it again. Like I and other people said before, there's nothing wrong with you wanting to do stuff. It doesn't make you a bad father. You are a person that has a life of his own outside of his family. Go live that life dude.

Who would be in for a small, for-fun, tournament? Just a week of sign-up and then I'll create a brackets of it and we'll play it off 1v1 to crown the Quake champion of mapcore?

I never say no to Quake so count me in.

Now that's some solid advice. There's nothing wrong with wanting to have time alone. I love my family but I also love my Thursdays when my wife and daughter go sleep at her parents. Just one single day for myself to be able to do whatever I want to do. I NEED that day and that's nothing to feel guilty about. Do you want out of that hole? Give yourself a day and leave your guilt behind.

I've listed the most commonly asked questions below. If you have a question that's not here, feel free to post it in the discussion or send me a pm.

• Q: Do I have to make something from scratch or can I submit something that I was already working on?
• A: Since there are no prizes or a panel of judges involved, people are basically free to submit what they like. This is really about the challenge and not about restrictions. Having said that, we do strongly encourage participants to submit something new to keep it fair.

• Q: After I posted my map in the submission thread (before the deadline has past), how will I know how my entry did?
• A: Once all the entries have been posted we are going to open a poll so that the community can vote on their favorite entries. After an yet to be announced time, voting will end and the winners will be posted. This will eventually be followed by an article featuring the winners.

• Q: I want to show my progression during this challenge. Where can I do this?
• A: Feel free to post WIP shots You could also open your own topic in the 3D forum and post your progress there. If you are new here and you need help with this due to post limitations (our spam prevention method) then let me or another staff member know.

I'll keep updating this if more questions need answers. This thread is locked and purely meant to be a FAQ post only.

Well I browsed the official site and it wasn't very clear to me either. I think this an tool to make indie games for PSN. Kinda like what MS had in the past.

Quite unexpected. Source

Is it possible for us to create our own threads in the challenge forum? Or create a sub forum within the challenge forum. I think if everyone is posting their progress in here it will be hard for us to keep track and give feedback properly.

Yes, see the first post:

Please note that we highly encourage you to post your progression in your own WIP thread in the 3D forum.

So everyone participating, please open your own WIP thread in the 3D forum.

This should serve as a reminder for something this generation tends to forget with all of their negative bullshit:

What's up with all the yellow? No criticism, just curious.

Apparently, CD Projekt pays well

From Quake3world?

Finally had time to see Bad Neighbors. I heard good things about it and it scored decent review (even with critics). Plus, Seth Rogen usually makes me laugh anyhow even though he can't act for shit and always plays himself. Still, he's my kinda guy.

Anyway, what horrible movie. Downright awful. Seriously, that was the most tedious shit I've seen in years. I have bowel movements that are more entertaining than this. My advice: Watch the trailer skip the rest.

Sprony I'm ok with that (except for the fact that she seems to be avoiding me right now because of a joke we played on her friday night)... you just have to get past her personal trainer boyfriend.

Personal trainer? Hah! I fuck guys like that in prison!
