http://65.61.157.176/ Console #4!??
Believe it or not, someone is going for it....Check this one out as it is rather interesting....compared to the rest of the console systems.. The most hilarious thing being claimed about the Phantom is that they're saying it's going to launch with 32,000 titles available. Now, even assuming that figure's all PC games, which I doubt, I suspect that roughly half of those are old DOS games that won't remotely run on a modern PC without extensive fucking about with boot floppies and shit like that. If the figure isn't all PC games, what are they on? Even if they can make it work, it will be interesting to see how many publishers will actually make a deal to go on the service. Unless this company can very quickly establish a credible image, I'm guessing not many will be interested.
I was initially extremely skeptical about the whole thing - the website is half finished, the only 'photo' of the hardware is blatantly a render, and it's called 'The Phantom' for God's sake! I'm still not entirely convinced and half expect it will turn out to be some sort of absurd sting advertising campaign for one of the other consoles, or just someone out to make a point... So far we've seen nothing that a few guys with a couple of hundred dollars couldn't achieve. PS The internet seems to be better now. sounds like a supped up Phillips CD-i, and that did so well in the American market. Imagine, a console that you can "pay per play" and "subscribe to games" instantly.
Please. It will be lucky if an actual hard box of this thing is madee, let alone released. It's just like the countless other consoles that have buzzed, then fizzled. Don't count on this happening, ever. Should cost ~same figure but in euros. Otherwise gf4200 is good value. Rad 9500-128 or 9500 pro also provides good speed/features for your money

Do you consider such layout to be better than the usual structured page, where your work is subdivided into sections (ie quake maps, doom maps, textures, models etc..)
Also you dont provide d/l links for half of your complete projects, and not much informations about your older (but good) maps, like first rubicon. 'Less is more' seems to be the rule here. But with general CV I`v been tought that its good to put all past jobs, education and skills on it... Any opinions ? At the very bottom of the page, I list four released levels without download links, becuase they are old and don't show off my current abilities. All other work is either unreleased, or there is a link to where you can find it (direct download for single levels, website for Oblivion and Cube.) If some company wants to see my unreleased stuff, i can provide it, but i'm not going to put a download link to work in progress on a public website.
As for the layout, It's chronological, and since i've jumped back and fourth across 5 different games, and have done mapping, modelling, skinning, textures, etc. throughout my career, categorizing seems like a bad idea. I don't think there's so much stuff that it is impossible to browse, anyway. As for the CV itself, it is already two pages long, which is about the limit i think. I intentionally didn't mention unrelated work becuase i wanted to go into detail about the related work. ...and it's called 'The Phantom' for God's sake!
LOL Although it did look too good to be true, that line decided it for me! Is broadband really embedded enough to make a broadband console likely; it certainly isn't in the UK yet. Also, the quotes pay per play and games on demand nearly made me choke, I think I can see what's proposed there and it isn't pretty.. The words nose and pay through the... come to mind! I dont know if you really care but I've got some bots that can *shock horror* grab the RL in lun3dm2 and also dont have a sexual attraction to the teles too.
just some tweaked bots (noe new code) I got off someone, they play a *lot* better than standard bots and get itmes on maps that I've never seen bots get before. And like I said above, they dont just keep on toing and froing from teles too (ala bal3dm2 and lun3dm2).
ok: you all know about my mystical quake map called bwdm1 that i almost finished, back in the day. i'm back and i want to finish it. if anyone, absolutely anyone, has a file starting with the letters 'bwdm', please email me at inertia@groove.ath.cx and tell me where i can get a hold of it. my computer got owned once and the

i refreshed but the data must have still been in the browser's cache for the page, that might require some fixing
I think that quark can read
Wanted to let you all know I'm working on a Q1DM after a loonnnnng period of not mapping. So you can rally behind me or cut me down with blantant abuse, just thought I'd let you know.
I'm using a really random, but blendable assortment of textures. Also, crazy mad props to metl for this outstanding replacement to QMap! yep, although they're slightly modifed than the ones posted there. Those ones seemed to default to the gauntlet and use no other weapon.
