There's no 'Guinness world record for the fastest 10km sack race time' in 'team', either.

But, there is 'assistant coach' and 'team' in 'Guinness world record for the fastest 10km sack race time'. Makes you think.

I'll be the assistant coach, or something. I mean I don't want to actually have to step inside a sack, but I want to marginally provide support in some way is what I'm saying.

Anyone want to train with me?

I think you should go for the sack race world record then... it would be something to do anyway!

Oh, I had to log in first. What a terrible error message!

Anyway, thanks for the link! It's not the first time someone has permanently etched a drawing of mine into his or her body (see e.g., http://rog.gameslate.com/gallery/branding) but it is fascinating when it happens.

I was also the previous psot anonymous, i did it everyone! quake 3 on nightmare difficulty competely beat. years after the games release.

it isnt as bad as i thought, basically i took the rocket launcher and camped out, behind the railgun where he lands after he jumps from the launch pad (this works from either side) and i shot him when ever i could. if he spawned on the other side, i would quickly try to gun him down using the rail but usually i avoided him. its the only point in the game i feel where you have to be cheap to get passed it, apart from that i love quake 3.

honestly i wasnt impressed with quake 4 at all, and i think quake 3 really had it down nicely. thats a shame, because they made an amazing game with a small development team and the modern iteration doesnt seem to be that good to me.

if you all know of any good mods or quake 3 servers, taht a fast paced and fun to play... (like OSP) please let me know. and best wishes to you al.

in down with this game.

Weird, I have a mushroom in my bath also! However, I only see mine when I pull down my pants to drop a duce. It's lodged between my hairy leg and my fee bag, if you know what I mean.

Can I eat it?

Hey everyone, i am just keeping this thread alive, its 6 am, may of 2006, and the array of poorly made FPS games has left me playing my all time favorite classic once more. Xearo is simpy kicking my ass on nightmare, i was impressed by the one person who beat him 8 times.

i've read two strategies so far camp by the rail gun and hide behind the pillar next to the health. and then when he spawns on the other side use the rail. to prevent him from getting it. I am going to try until i beat it cause this has been my favorite game for years, other shooters have come and gone but Quake 3 is still timeless, i will beat it before i move on.

are people playing quake 1 still on the net?

And only one link away from that Wikipedia page is the one for Pogo Stick, which mentions Illah Nourbaksh et al's "BowGo"

RC: Yeah, I'd imagine that the proxy server itself can't tell escape's HTTP requests from a regular web browser's. Anyway, good to know you got it to work. =)

anon: Not sure. Are you using a web proxy, or are you connected directly to the internet? If you're using a proxy, escape's internet features might not work. You could try on the options menu using the "alternate connect" option, which might help.

yenko: I haven't implemented it yet, and I don't have any particular schedule (grad school stuff has been taking over my free time recently) but fixing the bookmark system is near the top of the list.

I know this has been asked before, any idea when bookmarks will be delete-able before solving a level?

4522. RC (216.129.187.158) – 10 May 2006 14:36:34 UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
All I had to do was use the client side app for my proxy server software and give permission specifically to escape.exe. Otherwise default server side settings worked (standard web port 80). My proxy software is old. I would think by now that can be done server side? I suspect it worked because the client side software is a kind of a redirect otherwise the proxy server was rejecting a port 80 request that did not come from iexplore or one of its registered components?

Wow, you're not kidding! I never thought I'd see that font used in all seriousness. Nice spotting!!

It's fine to rate your own levels. I do it. Just don't try to stack the vote; vote as you would if someone else had made the level. Difficulty is probably the hardest thing to rate when you know the solution beforehand. So if you notice that the average rating is much lower or higher than what you thought (usually it turns out to be lower), you might want to adjust your rating.

Did you have to do anything special to get the proxy server to work?

In anticipation for the upcoming Sin: Episodes game, I was looking at the website for the anime based on the game, and saw the dbz "Secret Labs" font used on the first desktop here:

4518. RC (216.129.188.72) – 09 May 2006 20:31:51 UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
I rated my own level but I am not sure if that is proper etiquette or if one can accurately judge one's own levels. I figured if the pros have not spedrun or cooked it or maybe not even solved it yet it must be at least a 7 difficulty?
On another note. I got escape working through my proxy server.
It also runs across the network (which I am sure you were aware of)that way I don't have multiple instances to deal with.
Well written program!!.

j8: that's basically what I was implying; that there is no actual competition for these records. I think that, at a minimum, your feat needs to be somewhat amazing. Honestly I don't think 1:25 10K sack race would be out of my ability with a little training, though I haven't sack raced in a while. ;)

s: the prohibition on href is to prevent linkspam!

c: Yeah, I used to collect each year's Gunness book, approximately in the 9-13 age range! I was really bummed when they switched to the glossy holographic version.
