Well I guess I might as well post in here first! My name is Brad, I've been playing quake on and off since the shareware release in 96, also followed the magazine coverage of the qtest but never played it as the internet in Australia at the time wasn't really mainstream (and at the time cost about $4 per hour of use!) and 14k modems were the in thing at the time! For a lot of the younger peeps here - these were also the days of coax networking! Which because of internet prices is how we played, also because I was from a smaller town we usually only had up to 4 players at a time until we found the joy of bots!... and KillerQuake
Used to also do a lot of 1 on 1 modem play.
Quake has always been what I consider my introduction to real gaming - I guess it is probably more so that quake revolutionized the industry and changed how everything is done today (in terms of accessibility and user content), but did also love ID's previous games; Wolf3D, Doom, etc. - I will also add that I have not enjoyed anything they have done since quake as much as the original.
Quake also had the Cthulhu influences which is undoubtedly one of the things that made it so f*%@in unique!
I used to also do a lot of level design (none of which got released - again because of the internet thing)
My all time favourite mods/packs would be Slide, KQP, Painkeep & Zer (there is probably tonnes of others but them 4 come straight to mind when I think quake mods)
Anyway! On other things - In my spare time I also dabble in sound and music design, part time DJ at an Industrial/EBM club, do photography, I also enjoy horror and sci-fi movies.
Thats it for now!
Cheers
BRAD
