I'm in Boston, mulling some stuff over. Be back in about a week:)
Do you remember the time, when still a mere lad, you went down one winter's day to play in your dark court? The cold nipped your shoulders through your thin clothes, and the mud worked into your worn-out shoes. Even then when you saw chubby children richly clad pass in the distance, looking at you with an air of contempt, you knew right well that these imps, dressed up to the nines, were not the equals of yourself and your comrades, either in intelligence, common sense, or energy. But, later, when you were forced to shut yourself up in a filthy factory from five or six o'clock in the morning, to remain twelve hours on end close to a whirling machine, and, a machine yourself, were forced to follow, day after day, for whole years in succession, its movement with relentless throbbing - during all this time they, the others, were going quietly to be taught at fine schools, at academies, at the universities. And now these same children, less intelligent, but better taught than you, have become your masters, are enjoying all the pleasures of life and all the advantages of civilization. And you? What sort of lot awaits you? Peter Kropotkin, 1842-1921 Theres a fairly interesting GameSpot article, talking to Chris Avellone (Obsidian), Ken Levine (Irrational Games), Akira Yamaoka (Konami) and CliffyB (EPIC) about working in the game industry as a designer.

That was the big joke going around the Red Storm offices a month ago.
makes me think of all kinds of things.

comments on brightness of screenshots appreciated. =) Thanks for the review; I'll add a link on the SM82 page. I disagree with some of your assessments, but then again I might have a conflict of interest. Also, I'm disappointed that in one of the screenshots you show how to get one of the secrets.
if everyone agreed about everything, life would be very boring.
i think your smart enough to know this. email me and point out the offending screenshot [inadvertly done by me] and ill be happy to change it, if you wish. I disagree about the part where you said there were no outstanding combat situations... I felt the elevator portion of distrans' area was very tense and energetic. I felt the frantic nature and cramped quarters made it one of the more enjoyable and memorable combats in any recent Quake maps, and some of the older ones (though there are quite better combats in several other maps, I still find it to be one of the better ones overall.)
I don't agree that its better than sm36 either. (Wow did I just knock an idbase map?). But a review's a review.
what can i say..maybe im just in a mean mood today. ;)
In general though, both myself and tronyn in our reviews are trying to obviously set a high bar for mappers in the grand tradition of Q1SP map reviewing set long ago by mr. shambler. =) Speaking for myself in particular having been reviewing for almost 3 years now at my site, i think my standards from what i expect of a quake 1 map have increased, as might be expected, and as they should for the quake 1 mapping community as a whole over time; i try strongly to hope for and encourage this. I just felt that this particular map lacked truly spectular implementation in either architecture and gameplay, as i said in the review. But it was a good map, and 16/20 is a good score in my book. I think disagreement about map reviews [or any kind of art for that matter] is "normal and healthy" [as the psychologists would say it].
or as ray puts it: "a review's a review". ;) Just tried Dark Places.
Metl - model interpolation pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase - really helps the immersion. Metl - model interpolation pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase - really helps the immersion.
Yes, but pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase give an option for it to be turned off, for those of us that don't like muzzleflashes hopping from barrel to barrel, or leaping from our groin like the flaming sperm of the Devil himself. Hmm, that... what? I've never seen such a thing. Is that a side effect of model interpolation, or a Dark Places gimmick?
