*QUAD DAMAGE*
Thank you for your service sir 🫡
original quake. i didn't play much quake 2, but i did play a decent amount of quake 3. but quake 1 was my far my largest time sink.
hell yeah! i had the quad every spawn. i remembered where it was on many maps lol
Always remember my daughter...'what the hell dad, when did you get good at this...?'
Sweet kid.
gotta keep them kids in line. im sure they'd kick my ass in some shitty roblox game or whatnot, but real FPS games, they don't stand a chance.
The game for a large part is resource control.
PS I fragged your mom
207.0.168.4
THAT'S HOW.
yes, i remember the main server's IP address that i used to play on 30 years ago because i typed /connect 207.0.168.4 millions of times.
Yeeeeessir, I still want to launch a Quake 3: Arena gaming night on
@V E C T O R at some point, bring some Nostriches together, see if we can fill and frag a lobby.
Nice
Don't think i ever played quake 1 quake two and 3 arena where the shit, ps quake two you can make a local co-op thats pretty fun
absolutely. some games were incredibly fast depending on the map. the server i used to play on had 2 mods. 1) they had a grappling hook, which meant you could fly around the map super fast and get to places you'd generally be unable to get to or have trouble getting to with a rocket jump and 2) the double barrel shotgun's power was turned up and was incredibly powerful at short distances.
absolutely. if you can remember the spawn locations and their rotation, you can dominate by locking down a few resource locations. once you have the map memorized, new players are fucked if you are already stocked up.
the grapple was sweet. you could use it to hang from high locations and snipe with your rocket launcher lol
Did you do it as a LAN party running cables between dorm rooms?
i don't believe i ever had a proper LAN party. the closest i came i guess was in high school. i built our new computer lab my senior year. then a bunch of us nerds used it to play quake. but normally when i played quake, it was via modem.
i didn't play much quake 2 back in the day because my computer at the time couldn't handle it :( but that's okay, i was hooked on starcraft by that time.
YAAAASSSS! i had a voodoo2 card. those things were fucking amazing back in the day!
there's a handful of us nostriches that still play starcraft or at least played together a year ago :P we should bring this back.
i'd play.
If the modem didnt make noise you aint old enough 😂🤷♀️🙆🏻♀️🥳✨️ do kids of today even know the sound?!
Strafe jumping and rocket jumping..
These are important skills to pass along to the next generation.
I opened a LAN center in 99’ shortly after high school. Four glorious years of my life.
I might still boot up a little Quake Champions from time to time.
YES! after mastering rocking jumping i eventually created a script that allowed for 1 button perfect rocket jumping (as well as several other useful actions and keybinds).
Once you know a game you never completely forget it
Oh you kids... Don't know what you were missing. Before Quake there was Doom (as you know) and I spent untold hours using a Doom Level Creator to recreate my whole dorm (some 30 floors and 24 rooms per floor). Those I liked I put treasures and weapons... Those I didn't like had demons. Alit was like an intro to the CAD world in 1994.
Nice! Of course you did.
I do miss the days of having an in-game console that allowed for that much power.
Only from tiktoks... It's the sound of confusion trying to connect for them. It's <sighs> a meme.
Source: I got kids
And your SoundBlaster? Poor guys... But at least they were able to pivot to DACs for higher end audio.
Looking forward to playing Age of Empires 2 with my son! The game needs to stay alive at least another 10 years for that to happen!
Alive and well! Currently 18,439 people in game as of this moment, according to Steam stats.
Yes I still watch the tournaments on Youtube. Hopefully it's still kicking in 10 years!
Theres this thing called garena idk if its .com or w.e but garena was the hub for oldschoolgames via teamspeak it was a degen game server
Hell ya
Are we talking Quake 1, II, III?
That was the Lithium mod with different power runes, if memory serves me right.
Never mind. I read the thread.
