I've got to work early today so I'll cut to the chase and do the movie quote points!
Yesterday's quote was from Total Recall. Strangely, I had more people get the theme (Exploding Heads) then give me the movie! The theme was first cracked by Tex Arcana, so he gets a bonus three points. He was also the first in for another three! Second was PeeWee and third was Draggor

This week's totals:

Tex Arcana 14
Draggor 8
Peewee 5

Good job guys!

The moddb.com “Mod (and Indie) of the Year ” contest is on right now. There's quite a bit of Doom and Quake based mods and indie games up there. I would love to see some Doom and Quake based mods/indie games win. id gave us three franchises of GPL engines and that seems to be under appreciated by many modders today.

Yesterday's quote was from Planet Terror but I also accepted Grind House because it was also under that title in the theater. Based on that we got our three correct responses!

First in was Tex Arcana for three, Draggor for two and Crimson Pig for one. No stabs as the secret theme though!

Theme: E x * * * d * * g_* e * d *

Movie Quote: I'm not great at farewells, so, uh, that'll do, pig.

World of Padman Shows Off New Map for 1.6 Release  [ Comment ]
19:27 PST | TheHappyFriar | Print News | Category: Quake III Arena News
World of Padman, the “toon” GPL-Quake 3 powered shooter, is showing off screens from a new map for the 1.6 release. The first screens of the map appeared in 2010 and was intended to be part of the 1.5 release but it looks like perfection got in the way: this map started it's design back in 2004 and is finally being released! That's dedication right there!
The map is called “Airplane” and all the battling takes place in, you guessed it, an airplane! The map looks extremely detailed. Here's some screens to wet your whistle until release:

oregano4's Airplane oregano4's Airplane


Also on the “new and cool” from WoP is that PaddyBell is getting a revamp for 1.6. She'll have two new skins: BadPaddy and PaddyBee. BadPaddy is an evil twin (kind of) to PaddyBell, not a sweet fairy. PaddyBee is bee-like in appearance. Updated animations are also being done for 1.6. Both skins were designed by PencilWhipped.


BadPaddy - alternative PaddyBell skin - Mod DB

Another late morning, sorry about that. I didn't even stay up late last night, I had a 700mb upload to make so I started it and watched Castle with the wife, then went to sleep.

So, ready for today then? Yesterday's quote was Raiders of the Lost Ark. We had a ton of right entries but only the first three get points! We even had a stab at the theme but it was bad stab that didn't even come close! :p

For three points was PeeWee, for two was Tex Arcana and for one _fragment_.

Today's quote!

Theme: E * * * * * * * *_* e * * *

Movie Quote: Me and my big mouth. We should have taken the trip to Hawaii.

Yesterday's movie quote was Hot Fuzz. Funny story about that movie. My wife wouldn't see it with me so I went alone. The theater messed up, the started the movie ~3 minutes in. I was one of three people in the theater. So, to make it up to us they gave us all a free movie ticket that's good for any movie. The result with a date night with my wife to the movie that's today's quote! :)

I interviewed BNA! From Doom3World.org on Planet Doom. Be sure to give it a read!

First in was Pappy-R for three points, second PeeWee for two and finally Tex Arcana for three. Ready for today's quote?

Movie Quote: Because it doesn't solve the problem. The problem's still there. You've got to stick at it, and then figure out a way to solve the problem, even if it's really really hard.

Don't forget to start making some Planet Quake Christmas wallpapers! It would be great to have a nice set of wallpapers for PQ fans to download and use!

Ok, the movie yesterday was “Super Mario Bros.”. First in was Pappy-R, second was Tex Arcana and third was PeeWee. I'm thinking nobody has these movies in their collection. PeeWee suggested the movie theme should have been “Quotes from movies that you shouldn't be able to remember”. I own all of these. :)

Movie Quote: Yes, sir. Why is everyone eating chocolate cake?\

    Hey, everybody, know what today is? It's a day that's getting closer to Christmas. Do you know what that means? We need you're Christmas Quake wallpapers! I know there's artists out there who love to make wallpapers so let's see some Christmas Planet Quake wallpapers!

    Yesterday's movie quote was to easy. Yes, 27 Dresses is a chick flick, but its got Katherine Heigl in it and she's fun to watch for two hours. I still won't watch Grey's Anatomy though. Yuck.

    Anyway... first in was Tex Arcana for three, Pappy-R for two and finally Draggor for one. Ready for a random movie quote today?

    Movie Quote: Say, what's another word that rhymes with dimension?

    This week is turning out to be a fun week! I have double shifts almost every day this week but I've got an interview coming Friday on Planet Doom. Be sure to check out PD for that one!

    I also want to point out that we've got some great hosting here. If you have a Quake file, screenshot, movie, wallpaper or fan artwork, upload that baby! We've got download hosting that doesn't expire, it's fast, free and supports resumable downloads for all our dialup Quakers out there!

    Now time for the movie quote! Remember, no theme this week, just points and quotes! Yesterday's quote was from Hellboy. I never read the comic myself but the movie was quite entertaining. First in for three points was Pappy-R, second was Tex Arcana and third was Draggor.

    Movie Quote: Wanna go find the ugliest stuff in the store and register Tess for it?

    World of Padman Open Beta Weekend!  [ Comment ]
    10:34 PST | TheHappyFriar | Print News | Category: Quake III Arena News - Community News
    To gear up for the 1.6 release of World of Padman they're doing something special, this weekend only: You have a chance to play the last beta before the 1.6 release! This weekend only starting Friday night they're wanting you to play on one of their two beta-only servers. Each server has different game modes. They want your feedback to keep the high quality they've had for this long!

    To participate you need to join their forums and access the beta section. So don't lolly gag, head on over, help squash some bugs and support this stand-alone Q3A game!

    Here's some things they're looking for feedback on:

    • voice chat icons over a player's head and in the HUD is shown when he is talking.
    • icons of teammates, loading stations, spray teleporter, LPS arrows and BB boxes are shown correctly and their respective buttons work in the game option menu.
    • the reduced ammo bottle load of Boaster (from 100 to 60) and Balloony (from 15 to 10) feels right with the weapons balance and game play.
    • the reduced Boaster direct hit damage (from 5 to 3) feels right with the weapons balance and game play.
    • the powerups are still handled correct while being in the spray room. Powerups should be removed completely when entering the spray room and given back correctly when leaving the spray room. The time of powerups is not paused!
    • the 3D stereoscopic feature and the 3D crosshair works, when selected in the menu.
    • the reduced PadPower damage feels right with the weapons balance and game play. We reduced the multiplier from 3 to 2.
    • BamBams are prone to visionless now and how this affect the game play.
    • the bots behaviour in CTL game mode and the navigation is flawless.
    • Bambams can't be placed into walls or mapobjects anymore.
    • the HUD indicates areas where no BamBams and Boomies can be placed correctly.

    Everyone have a good day yesterday? Anyone even around? Maybe reading this hanging out inside a store trying not to get crushed by the tide of people wanting a cheap TV? Enjoy, I'll be at work!

    Yesterday's movie quote was from Ocean's Eleven. Pappy-R was in first for three points. He attempted to get second too but we only hand out points the first time you get it right! :) Second was Tex Arcana for two points. Nobody for third.

    Ready for today's quote? Last one for the week so get ready...

    Happy Thanksgiving to all my US readers out there! Today is the day we'll most likely see our extended families for the first time of the year, Christmas being the second time. It's strange we don't have snow yet though. I don't remember a Thanksgiving without snow on the ground.
    Sorry for being late today. Since I knew I wasn't working today I stayed up late working on my Doom 3 map.

    Ok, for movie quotes, we had the movie Oscar. Pappy-R was first with three points, Tex Arcana was second with two and Draggor was third with one. Tex Arcana also got the secret movie theme: Remakes. Good job!

    Ready for today's quote?

    Movie Quote: Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boeski, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever.

    Tier666 3.1 Released  [ Comment ]
    17:56 PST | TheHappyFriar | Print News | Category: Quake III Arena News
    Tier666 is back (so soon?) with a new release. Tier666 is a bot-improvement mod aimed at making the bots more like “pro” players and less like walking insta-killed/ing machines. What makes this version worth a download? They've added two new gametypes: Quick Capture Strike and Occupy Sweet Spot (a single player game type!). They've updated the HUD to make things more accessible and usable for players. Bots have been updated to include hit-and-run style tactics, will jump towards items (like cpma or spiter bot) and will follow teammates and stalk enemies better.

    Head on over to their moddb site for download and check out this gameplay footage of Quick Capture Strike and Occupy Sweet Spot, respectively:

    It's the post-Doom 3 engine GPL day, in case you missed the news yesterday. That put the entire Doom series engines under the GPL. A pretty amazing feat!
    Yesterday's movie quote was from Gone in Sixty Seconds. First in for three points was Tex Arcana and second for two points was Draggor. Ready for today's quote?

    Theme: _ _ m _ k _ _
