The PA Report interviews Tim Willits (257 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by wn @ 13:14 CDT, 6 August 2012 - iMsg

Ben Kuchera, of The Penny Arcade Report, sat down with id Software's Tim Willits at QuakeCon 2012 to discuss Doom, Rage, and lessons learned.

John Carmack kicked off his 2012 QuakeCon keynote by apologizing for Rage. He candidly discussed the driver issues, the marketing challenges, and the end of the game itself, which he characterized as being “not very good.” It was a conversation you rarely see from someone as powerful as Carmack, and it seemed to pull the crowd to his side from the first moments of the speech. It didn’t make everyone happy, however.

“I wanted to strangle him. It’s QuakeCon! Everyone fucking loves Rage here, shut up!” Tim Willits, the creative direct of id Software, told me in an interview the next day. He was laughing, and seemed to take it in stride, but still. Everyone in the room knew this was going to be a big story. “You don’t think everyone in the audience knows that ATI released the wrong drivers? Dude, zip it!”

Painkiller HD beta - a new hope? (68 comments)

( Major Article: Gaming)

Posted by mouse* @ 09:59 CDT, 6 August 2012 - iMsg

So i received the long awaited Painkiller Hell & Damnation Key. Props to Nordic Game they are quite generous with the keys. If you write them an email with some nice words you might get one pretty quick. Anyway I downloaded (700mb) the game and installed it. Before I could install it a rather easy steam bug appeared and i had to update my driver. I have read a lot about this error in the forums and it seems it is a common steam bug which nordic games is not to blame for. Also you can't change controls or mouse in the options menu yet but thats no problem, the config file is easy to find and easy to rewrite manually.

Well thought I would keep the ball rolling here and post up another event post-QuakeCon. So without further a due here we go!!! Since QL just brought out a new release of content I thought we would do the new map that cityy made: Silence. Format is the same Double Elimination event!

This event starts at 20:00 CDT with check-in starting at 19:00 CDT, and is first-come first-serve, so check-in early!!

Anyone who doesn't have premium or pro don't worry we can spawn a server for you and your opponent if neither of you have it! I would prefer to see all matches played on private servers with passwords in order to not have any disruptions!

Hope to see you all sign up

Who: CSN
What: Duel - Double Elimination
Where: QuakeLive - North America Only

Why: Thanks to cityy we have a new duel map

Tving Ongamenet Starleague Finals (56 comments)

This is it. The end of over a decade long professional eSports in Korea as we know it. With first OGN Starcraft 2 Starleague right behind the corner, we are left with one last look at professional Brood War at it's best.

This year's finals is a reprisal of last year's in which JangBi completed Legend of the Fall against Fantasy to seal his first ever OSL title which left

Fantasy in the Kong Line.

Starting tomorrow from 04:00 CDT we will find out if

JangBi becomes only protoss alongside Garimto to win two OSL titles and repeats a feat only matched by BoxeR and Jaedong - to win a back-to-back OSL title. Also, this is the last chance for

Fantasy to break his Kong curse and become immortalized as the last Brood War OSL champion ever.

Update:

JangBi takes home the last Brood War OSL ever in what proved to be a complete rape of

Fantasy! Well done \o/ GG NO RE. Fantasy remains King of Kong.
