Hi all,
I didn't visit this site for many years ; I've just registered again, with the same username, to give you a link to a home made fragmovie. Music is from my prog-metal band (I did everything minus the vocals and the intro keyboard : all the instruments, the recording, mix and mastering), frags are from myself too. Don't expect special effects or whatever, I have zero movie editing skillz - and here I'm trying to promote my music, not my quake skillz ;)
with youtube compression the picture is quite blurry, I'll try to upload a much better version somewhere.

for metal and quake fans from all around the world :)

AUS QCON COMP TO BE CANCELLED? THANKS ID (190 comments)

( News: ESR)

Posted by M05 @ 08:55 CDT, 8 June 2010 - iMsg

Event: AOD

For the past two weeks the Oceanic servers have been reduced from 4 locational hosts, to the now barely playable 1. This majorly affected our recent LAN competition on the weekend and will mean no Quakecon tournament for our Oceanic players if they are not put back up in time.

We have contacted our local server providers some of which said they were upgrading their servers (a week and a bit ago), but have contacted id Software a few times now to tell them the servers are ready to go back up. id Software's SyncError has attempted to be contacted via IRC on a few occasions and we do understand he is a very busy person and obviously under a lot of scrutiny due to the mass amounts of people trying to contact him and the lack of responses he's been able to give.

In all respect I would like to give the guy a break but this is too important for an entire continent to run a competition to send a player to their own American LAN tournament is becoming somewhat of a joke.

Important or not all Oceania and 4Seasons Gaming have done is promote the game as best we can, and as much as we may sound like whiners some of you hopefully agree we do not deserve for this kind of problems to be ignored.
