Since picking up my practice rig a couple of weeks ago so as to get my techno mind back in shape before laying out any hard earned cash on a mega machine, I have been reading up on this software and that software, this key board and that keyboard, this mouse and that mouse ect ect ect !!!head is ready to explode!!! but the practice rig is coming together quite nicely. It hasn't blown up on me and I haven't had any system wide failures, so all in all not to bad. ( pat'n self on back Attachment Deleted )
On top of all this, I have also been surfing the Quake 1/2/3/4 Quake Live scene from old to new and everything in between to start getting my gamer mind re-functioning. Its going to take 3 weeks before the discs I ordered arrive, ugh on the snail mail thing. It is here I would also like to give a BIG BIG shout out to uzi9mmauto for his support, ...still surfing everything and reading up.
One of the things I discovered is Quake2 Starter, I'm like, "Hmmm, whats this, I can play now, woot woot woot!!!" I dl it, slap it on the rig, load up dm1, and there I am just little ol me and this big ol sh*t eaten grin growing bigger and bigger annnndddd BIGGER. It was just like that high you get when you know you just played a kickass game, sweeeet!!!
Time to test out the old school skills, ...I soooo should have recorded a demo but I couldn't remember the cmd among others things lol, talk about tripping over your feet hahahaha, ..it took me literally 1/2hr to 45min to get up on the box so I could scoot over and get the mega health, ..that part took another !/2hr to 45min hahah.
I'm also running around the map with absolutely no coordination looking for the railgun to see how the aim is ( yup I forgot where it was haha another 20 or soooooo min trying to figure that out )
Anyhow to start closing, I'm like wtf, this is crazy, its gonna be a long up hill climb to even get to a decent playing ability and then it hits me. DOH DOH DOH, everything is feeling wacked out because I forgot one of the most important things of all. I didn't write up a personal cfg, ...reaaaalllllly of all things to forget THE PERSONAL CFG sheeesshhhhh. I'm having a good laugh over it all though, ..for me the whole experience was like being three years old on Xmas day trying to figure out how to play with the new kickass toy.
Time to start getting the mapping stuff on the pc now, looking forward to that and accomplishing my first map, imagine there will be a lot of late nights on that project. Speaking of maps here, back in the day I remember there use to be alot of aiming practice and movement practice maps around anyone know if these things still exist. I guess I could always build my own now couldn't I
Hope you enjoyed the read and I didn't bore anybody to much, ...time to go, its Big Bang night!!!
