[QUOTE=ironman17;50824826]If it isn't too personal, how much ARE you paying for college right now? 'cause if they only give you half the money for a decent instrument (I take it you're doing a musician's degree or something?), it makes me wonder how much you're paying just to be there for the semester.
Although doesn't the University of Luxembourg ask for 800 Euros for the first two semesters, with each subsequent semester costing a mere 200? Astonishingly cheap compared to the four-figure robbery that was what I paid for my initial enrolment. (sorry if this is off-topic, it's just grabbed my interest)[/QUOTE]
My tuition for this year is $26,900. My parent are real tight on cash and I'm going by the skin of my teeth trying to pay for college itself, and they're gonna try to help as much as they can with the trumpet

I guess your Flagdog was bugging out for some reason. Still, that's roughly £20k for 1 year alone, whereas if I'd stuck with uni, I would have owed £27k for the three years I would have been there. Thank god I dropped out when I did.
Kinda disgusting that college costs that much over there. If this were a sane world, folks who charged that much would have Hell to pay for pulling such a scam.

Yeah, I'm hoping to God I can get through it with minimal loans.
In other news, I caved in and bought the game. No one said I was smart.

That package is totally worth the investment. Hell, from where I stand the singleplayer campaign alone is roundabout worth the standard $60, even though I'm hardly part of the landed gentry.

i like particle effects
and lots of D A K K A
[sp]it's effects for a triple barrelled minigun that's currently in concept phase[/sp]
Published my map, VLCJ7V67 called The Demon Within
It's half a half-life tribute, half an attempt to make a map that plays more like something from the campaign. I originally planned on making a sort of episode but i realized i probably won't get around to that so hell has a steep difficulty curve, it's probably best in coop.
Also there's 3 secrets, one is piss easy to find, the other two you really gotta keep an eye out

Speaking of, can somebody test this in coop and let me know if it actually works? I can't test it with anyone else atm.

Played it through, I think you did a great job on it, made me really wish there was more when I finished.
The area with the yellow skull door was really interesting, I've never played anything like that in this game, granted I havent played much snapmap to begin with so maybe it's just me.
There was a Doom mod posted in here where you're a sci-fi ninja, I think it was third person, and it looked really cool. Anyone got a name or progress update?

Third person, huh?
That reminds me, i wonder how effective a game using the Doom / Duke / Wolf system of 3D environments with 2D sprites for characters, weapons, effects, and some objects would work if done with todays technology.

Probably not very well. Imho this sorta tech reached its peak with SW/Blood.
Haha, looks like they're not streaming the Quake Champions reveal!
Yeah, fuck us, right?

Same situation with me. I want to buy DOOM and Rainbow Six Siege but I am trying to save up for a new computer to actually run those games.
I hope that's false info, because why would they think that it's a good idea to make the QC presentation attendee only? People were upset when they did the same thing with DOOM, and not to mention that many are skeptical about Champions. Ah well, at least we're gonna get [I]some[/I] new info either way.
Doubt they'll keep the QC presentation closed doors this time since they're making a pretty big deal on twitter about showing more of Prey.

They made a pretty big deal about showing DOOM in 2014 too.
The Prey showcase was already confirmed to be attendee only, too, and the Quake Champions reveal event isn't even [I]listed[/I] on any schedules I can find.
"Find out more info at Quakecon when we reveal more gameplay!"
"Oh, but it's for attendees only!"
I get that Id was anxious about the world tearing DOOM apart, but the sheer and strict watching of every single attendee there and removal of any attempting to record it was fucking crazy. And naturally we found out DOOM was attendee-only not long before the showing. Fucking hell, Bethesda/Id.
To be fair, the only game that could top Doom's expectations is Quake, and after seeing the Beta response for Doom compared to the response when it was released, I'm not surprised they're making the showcase attendee only again.

Can't wait for the "diz izn quack" comments on Steam if they release a beta again
I'm just going to take this opportunity to say that I fucking despise id/Bethesda's marketing teams.
They did an absolutely shameful and deplorable job in marketing DOOM, and it seems they're going down the same path, only making it WORSE now.
Nobody was talking shit about DOOM before the actual game reveal when we only had those two short trailers, but now people are talking shit about Quake Champions as soon as the Teaser Trailer due to vague understandings of what the game is about, and cryptic non-answers given by one man.
I mean, he goes on stage, says [I]"We're going back to the classic arena gameplay!"[/I], then announces hero style abilities, and then has to nervously shamble into literally every interview with his first words always being [I]"IT'S NOT LIKE OVERWATCH, IT'S NOT A MOBA!"[/I] (not even joking about him having to spurt that out at the beginning of every interview)
Making these reveals exclusive isn't going to shield you from getting your game shat on, it's only slightly delaying it, because at some point you're gonna have to show some footage, and people are going to be pissed no matter what it is. And just like with DOOM, it didn't effect the final product at all.
It turned out great, it sold well, etc.
So the fact that they aren't just being up-front this time and showing people the game, and instead going with the exclusivity and eventually, most likely, very misleading trailers, gameplay demos, and marketing again, makes me absolutely fucking livid.

as a previous quakecon attendee, you aren't missing much
this type of stuff is super early "gameplay" where everything isn't finished and it's just a little "thank you" for taking the effort of visiting the convention

I'll take your word for it, but the press made the 2014 DOOM reveal sound pretty damn in-depth, and if anything, actually better than the E3 reveal the next year.

Well to be fair, wasn't the 2014 Doom footage essentially the same as the 2015 E3 reveal, or were there differences?
They did change a lot of factors from E3 to the final release, but still.

Exactly the same, if Adam Sessler is to be believed.
Dear Jesus, they shut off the stream before Marty even got to tell people about the "future of DOOM".
[QUOTE=The Civ;50829277]Dear Jesus, they shut off the stream before Marty even got to tell people about the "future of DOOM".[/QUOTE]
Sounds like the future of doom to me
[QUOTE=The Civ;50829277]Dear Jesus, they shut off the stream before Marty even got to tell people about the "future of DOOM".[/QUOTE]
That was actually a stream fuckup.
But it missed the entire thing and came back like 15 seconds before the actual stream shutdown for Quake :v:
I see more Unreal Tournament in Quake Champions than I do Quake, beyond the eldritch designs here and there. Hell, the default move speed is a lot more like the older UT games compared to Quake 3. Then they just added bunnyhopping and rocketjumping ontop of that. I mean, granted, Q3A ground speed by itself wasn't much, but either they advertised this badly like they did DOOM, or it genuinely is slower.
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;50829554]This looks really, [I]really[/I] clumsy.
I find it funny they're hyping it up with " Pure skill " and " Pure speed " when the gameplay looks slow as fuck, plus the addition of character abilities makes it not pure skill since all characters aren't equal[/QUOTE]
Won't argue the skill part but that doesn't really look all that slow
