and call it scampgrounds. 

lundm1

hey, awesome

I'm wanting to showcase maps that aren't the ones usually played

hah, heh, eh, yeahh :(

Cool. Though I also would prefer QW, otherwise the distance is just too much to handle ping-wise.

Btw. some more map picks including the infamous lundm1: https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/dmc3.html (they still support DM) 

still trying...

Afaik that's standard netquake engines being annoying. They require a randomly chosen port to be open or something. Baker put a lot of work into making it easier so proquake or mark v might still work. 

When necros was trying to connect my whole
Internet connection was down.

Also, the server is running ManQuake, which is a slightly modified version of ProQuake that Slot Zero created (he made RuneQuake). A bigger tweak is that it uses a defined range of ports for clients, so you don't need 1000's of port open. 

If I had an 80 lb scrotum I'd be upset at everything like bler is too. 

nice website!

btw, 'stygian' sounds really awesome. I wonder if there would be enough interest on func to start a "board & tabletop games" thread.

Agree that modern games can feel under-polished/refined, and it's hard to get reliable reviews on how good the gameplay is.
I like deckbuilding games, have you played Ascension? 

Am I the only one who sees a blank page where ijed's website is supposed to be? On both Firefox 41 and Opera 32. 

same for me, thought that was the joke? 

 

Thanks Eric, just working on closing the last two Items, which is proving tricky. Once I've got it together I can send you a cold test version if you want - it'd be interesting to see if it's playable without me there to explain it. But it'd be a lot of work to print so maybe better to wait for the first prototype :)

I'll have a look at Ascension.

As to Wix not working for everyone - I got distracted writing stuff and forgot to do proper cross country testing.

Where is everyone? 

The video from where 2 Girls 1 Cup originated was produced by "MFX Media" 

Could totally start a boardgame thread. For 4-6 years I was heavily into them. Still am although time to play has been a challenge lately. I did a game published though, which is sweet.

BTW, my blog at www.big-game-theory.com is mostly about Boardgames still. 

Find it very fun. 

:) 

Interesting stuff!

No doubt I'll be mining it for ideas for quite some time :)

I used to play a lot of tabletop games - Games Workshop stuff mostly, but stopped when I realised video games were cheaper and more flexible to create.

I had a pretty big collection of most of the game lines, all with customised miniatures but none of them painted. Sold the lot for a few quid, back before GW got greedy.

Favourites were Space Hulk, Epic and Necromunda. Space Hulk was great because it harked back to the days of Space Crusade and Hero Quest, which were both surprisingly deep 'kids' games. 

My ping (from the SF bay area) is 100-ish. Fine for messing about! 

I've also been doing some writing for the growing website explorminate.net - which covers lots of strategy game stuff.

Regading my server. It would be fun to maybe plan a night of death matching on a few custom maps if enough people can get a decent ping. Any takers? 

... but "night" where you are may be day (working hours) here.

Really trying to find a reason to justify buying Cthulhu Wars right now. -_- sooo expensive =/
