Doom 3 Speed-Mapping Contest

For the past couple days, I’ve had a weird itch in the back of my head. I knew that, somewhere out there, some groovy dudes were out there devising some truely bad-ass Doom 3 maps. I could feel it in the air: new Doom 3 content was on the way. I could just feel it. Or, HappyFriar just told me.

The contest is currently under-way, and after the 18th maps will be available for judging and all that goodness. Head over to the main thread for more info, and keep your eyes peeled for submissions as they come out. Check back here later for thoughts and results!

Team Duel League – Rokkets on DeeEm Five

Heya all, Jehar here. I’m loving the hell out of the Team Duel League over on warsow.na. Almost makes me wonder why such an awesome group can’t pay their hosting bills. Maybe if we stepped up and bought more tshirts, we would have more tshirts? Right?

Ahem. Enjoy the vods, and if you’re out there and want to get your feet wet with Warsow, this is the perfect event!

Quake II King of the Hill

Had quite a few players show up this week, and the amount of buzz that we’re generating now is getting all of my Quake-juices flowing. Would love to see some more North American… OH WAIT! A quick peek inside will show Jehar urging you to participate in the upcoming 2v2 tournament, which at the time of this writing should be getting geared up and ready for action! Speaking of action, it’s been some time since we’ve done some aq2 cups… Gotta love Quake II. Always something to do.

Enjoy!

Warsow.na Team Duel League

What a treat! Xanthus over at the warsow.na community has whipped up a rather novel tournament structure – Team Duel! As odd as it sounds, it’s made for some amazing games, and more importantly training for a lot of newer players. Come check it out every Saturday night right here on Tastyspleen.tv!

Community Column – Why I Quake

The ever-awesome Chibers has polished up a rather lengthy post from the Quakelive forums into an insightful article – one that speaks to me as a member of the Quake community. Enjoy!

Quake II King of the Hill – Fragtastic Fridays

Though you wouldn’t be able to tell from the (lack of) updates here, our weekly events are picking up some real momentum here, especially on the Quake II side of things. Every week we see more and more players get into the game, and more community involvement all around. Personally, I’m rather stunned by the massive potential the Quake community has to pull together now to make things happen, and I want to make sure we’re all there to see it. So expect to see more from us. Or at the very least, expect a change of trousers.

Congrats to Fader for taking the crown for the week, along with a shared prize with Haunted; the venerable Nade Clown award.
