Posted by ParadokS @ 05:04 CST, 1 March 2012 - iMsg

After a long hiatus we decided to whip up another show. This time we once again invited QW superstar

Rikoll for a chat about current events.

With EQL starting their 15th. installment using a whole new concept for the 4on4, a brand new 1on1 tourney called Thunderdome by

VVD and

QuakePhil and a new ongoing series of 1on1 tournaments by

dirtbox over at Besmella we had plenty of material to discuss. This show: Defcon-5's recently released QW documentary, EQL15, Thunderdome, Besmella.Quake

You can watch the show @ twitch.tv/quakephil in 2 parts (spank you so much xsplit for making quakephil's life so hard!), or alternatively download it as mp3 @ Slackers.dk. Hopefully we can start to pick up the pace and at least try to do weekly or bi-weekly shows, following up on some of the action in the QW scene 2012.

Xonotic 1v1 WB/LB Grand final videos (109 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by C.Brutail @ 15:23 CST, 29 February 2012 - iMsg

Hi there! While I cannot tell you happy news about Xonotic 0.6 being released (YET, we had some difficulties, but expect it in 1-2 weeks), I'd like to inform the audience of ESR about the ending of the first online Xonotic 1v1 tournament.

Final VoD´s

To get some general idea how Xonotic plays in competitive 1v1, check out the VoD's of the finals. I suggest you to find a very comfy chair, grab some b33r, gather some nachos and pop some corn, because there'll be plenty of entertaining gameplay (over 100 minutes) in those videos! Have fun watching the VoDs, and keep an eye on Xonotic!

Edge of the Earth is a new quake 3 freestyle trickjump movie, directed and edited by

rEnk.

I've been working on this project since 2010 august. I had these demos from various players on my hdd very long time and I decided to use them to a new movie...Then I started to create custom fx-scripts for q3mme. I created some preety ones and I started to create this video. About a year ago I almost finished and released it, but I stopped just before the end. I didn't edited anything to it until 2011 december and the project is almost lost...But it's finally done and I hope you will enjoy the movie.

Trickers: buddha, detinu, mensroom, rbk, soul_brother, flayzerannyx, nibbit (Demos)

Thunderdome round 1 has started! The deadline for all divisions is March 5, 23:59CET. It was hard work to seed everyone into the divisions, but master blaster (also known as

VVD) made sure that all the slaves did their jobs.

Spontaneous live streaming will take place around 2400-0400 CET (6pm-10pm est) if any games are happening at that time and I'm not otherwise predisposed. We may get a more official streaming schedule as the semis and finals start getting scheduled, but in the meantime follow my stream to get notified when it goes online.

Brackets:
* Div0 - 19 players
* Pro - 22 players
* Regular - 30 players
* Advanced Rookies - 28 players
* Rookies - 22 players

GL, RL & LG 2 all!

Movie maker par excellence

sharpe has graced us with a new movie, featuring players from

xentorium.

Hi everyone, this is a movie I have been working on since Dreamhack. frs asked me to do the xentorium TDM movie and I was thrilled to do it. I edited everything but he helped a lot on resuscitating the old-school era of quake for the movie. I hope you guys enjoy this, and stay tuned for some next movies to come in the spring!

It is with great pleasure that I bring to you the release of Unrealnorth 2 by Vlad. The German movie-maker has been busy preparing his latest release for us...

UnrealNorth 2 has been a long time coming, with various movie-makers stepping up to do the title then losing the motivation or opportunity to continue. Vlad has had plenty of both and so is the one to finally bring us this epic movie for our great site and community. Many thanks to him for his time and effort!

Around 80 demos have been used from 30 players of the UnrealNorth community.Vlad will be taking a break from movie-making for a while, so enjoy his latest creation until such time as he decides to make another.

Thunderdome Starting Soon (17 comments)

( Major News: Q1)

Posted by !phil @ 21:23 CST, 25 February 2012 - iMsg

Quakeworld: Thunderdome has seeded the initial divisions and is accepting late sign-ups. Players are encouraged to notify admins of any corrections in case someone has been misplaced in a division. Each division is scheduled to have a double-elimination bracket, which will be drawn up by 27 Feb 23:59CET at which point the games will begin!

Currently we have 97 players from 24 different countries filling out 5 divisions:

* Div0
* Pro
* Regular
* Advanced Rookies
* Rookie

Elite duelers are especially encouraged to register, as currently we are missing some of the heavy hitters such as nitram, mawe, milton, kingpin, locust, lacsap, avenger, lakso, etc., and we need them to make a true "div0" division. Let them know about the tourney and convince them to sign up for thunderdome! There will be a high def stream covering the best matches whenever possible.
