Quake 2 Update Released
Quake 2 v3.15 is now available for download from id Software's ftp site. If you're upgrading from v3.14, just download this 3.14 to 3.15 patch (1.01 MB). If you want to download the complete v3.15 release, then download this v3.15 full upgrade (9.33 MB). Also available is the full v3.15 CTF upgrade (14.6 MB). You can expect the site to be busy for a while. If you're getting "server returned extended information", it's just busy. You can get the 3.14 to 3.15 patch only at this second location which won't be busy. Here are some words from Disruptor regarding the upgrade.

This upgrade addresses several features, including security, playability, and enhancements.
A new map is also included (in baseq2\pak3.pak) called match1, Reckless Abandon. This map is designed for one on one deathmatch play. It was built by American McGee and Dave "Zoid" Kirsch.

There are tons of other changes and bug fixes included in this new version. Hmmm, wonder if they put in that mod to make it look like Unreal? :)

New Graphics Coming Soon
Today I spoke with [TC]-Reaper who runs Liquid Fusion 3D Design and made my nice animated site button. He told me that the graphics for the page could be done as early as this Monday. After dealing with gaming companies for so long and never getting any answers regarding timeframes, this was quite refreshing. w00p!

Site Stuff

• Updated Methos .plan file
• I'll do a larger update tomorrow. I may even have a new interview to post in the next couple of days.

Thresh Wins Again
Is this guy good or what? Dennis Fong aka Thresh who already gets money from MicroSoft for using their MS-Mouse with the wheely thing, now has a new sponsor. Thresh will now be getting paid to talk about Diamond's Monster 3D II. In return, he will contribute to a weekly Diamond column with game tips and play in a quarterly Diamond Quake II tourney. See the complete article here.

Unreal Gets WON
The World Opponent Network (WON) announced an agreement with GT Interactive and Epic MegaGames to feature Unreal on WON.

Unreal CTF Coming Soon
Captured.Com will be releasing Noname CTF, which is obviously a Capture the Flag mod for Unreal.

5 Nations Tourney Page Started
DC_NightWing, Captain of Team England in the 5 Nations Tournament that begins on June 14th, has submitted his first "Captain's Log". NightWing's entries will be a chronology of events leading up to and including the 5 Nations Tourney.

I want to thank HC-Orlith who offered his services for the 5 Nations page.

Site Stuff (Busy Day)

• Answered "most" of the e-mail today

Yum, Quake 2 Pro-Rocket Mod
Get the Pro-Rocket mod for Quake 2. Enough of this balanced weapons crap, just give me a rocket launcher and get out of my way. This mod enables the rockets in Q2 to travel at the same speed as in Quake. Now all we need is Rocket Arena 2 with this mod, w00p! This is cool stuff.

5 Nations Tournament
The UK is having a 5 Nations Quake tournament next month. Five countries (really?) will supply all-star line-ups to compete for huge prizes. (Wot? No prizes? Damn!) The 5 countries involved will be England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. All countries boast some great players. The tourney will take place over 5 weekends in a round robin style with finals.

Methos Quake has secured a roving reporter for the entire tournament. The reporter,   who will be playing on the English squad, will post chronological reports from the start of trials until the end of the tourney. Stay tuned for more details.

ION Storm's Dominion Now Gold
ION Storm announced that their new game, Dominion: Storm Over Gift3, has been send to Eidos Interactive for publication and should be available in June. I don't like "real time strategy" games or war games but this one is very impressive. Especially the on-line aspect where the wars continue when you're not on-line. :)

Live Quake 2 Page History
I've decided to get rid of the live Quake 2 page. Although it very cool to be able to play Quake 2 directly from a web site, very few people used it. Oh well :(

Site Stuff

• Live Quake 2 page removed from Methos Quake
• Updated Methos .plan file
• Added 1 demo to the Quake Demos page. I have a few more really good ones to add when I can get around to it.

Scott Miller Interview Posted
How silly, it was mentioned on BluesNews but, I forgot to mention it on my own site. Late last night I posted Scott Miller Interview on the Methos Inviews Page. Founder and President of Apogee Software (I always thought it was 3D Realms / Apogee but it's not), Scott was nice enough to answer "a few" of my questions. If the interview sounds "out of sorts", that's because it is.

CyberAthetes Get It On!
The Cyberathlete Organization announced their prizes for the upcoming QuakeCon CPL Tournament, that will take place on July 23-26 at the InfoMart in Dallas.

The top prizes include being in an in-store video for Babbage's Etc. (the company that owns Software Etc  & Barnes and Noble), 30% discounts at their stores for a year and $2,000 US cash.

A Little Carnage
Methos Quake is a gaming site and sometimes we take games a bit too seriously. Here's some good "real life" news for a change. A little late, sorry about that.

Congratulations to Mark "Carnage" Davies and his better half on the birth of their new baby. On May 5th 1998, Andrea gave birth to 7lb 11oz, Jessica. Both mom and daughter are doing well, I'm not sure if daddy Mark will recover though. :)

Congrats again Mark. Remember to make sure she uses a mouse and not a keyboard like her daddy. :)

Quake 3 FAQ Update
An updated version of the Unofficial Quake 3 FAQ is available on TeleFragged.

Unreal Patch for Cyrix CPU's
Tim Sweeney from Epic has posted a beta experimental patch for Cyrix users (144 KB) on BluesNews and on cdrom.com. This will try to fix the "Intel only" code that was included with the original release.

Site Stuff

• Updated Methos .plan page
• Updated "Spotlight" demo on the Quake Demos page

Spookie Gets A Name Change
My buddy Spookie who has his Spookie Side page on Methos Quake sent along word that he has been accepted into Clan XP. He has been clanless for the past couple of months after Clan Postal disbanded when Reptile went to DeathRow. After going through what seemed like a bar exam to get in the clan, he will now be known as XP-Spookie. The Xtreme Prejudice clan has long been regarded as a clan with lots of talent. Even though in recent months, they've lost players like LittleDragon, Geiger, Twisted Killer and Unholy who have all joined Thresh in DeathRow, they still have a strong line-up. Congrats Spookie err umm XP-Spookie.

QuakeWorld v2.21 Released
Zoid announced in his .plan today that QuakeWorld version 2.21 is now available on id's ftp site. You can download the full QW v2.21 here (1.9 MB) or the 2.20 to 2.21 Upgrade here (590k).

ION Storm Fires The Wright Guy
Word on GameSpot reports that ION Storm has fired COO (Chief Operating Officer) and Co-Founder, Bob Wright. The rumored reason was differences between Wright and ION Storm President, Todd Porter. With this being a large loss, it could have serious affects on upcoming ION Storm releases.

An update on BluesNews says that Bob Wright will be suing ION Storm for "breach of fiduciary duties". (fiduciary means credible & trustworthy)

Unreal Bug Fix
When using GL with Unreal, make sure you use the version that comes with the package. Unreal was design to use Glide v2.43 which is the latest official version.

Unreal Technical Info Page
If you want to check or report bugs in Unreal, go to the official Unreal Technical Information page.

Site Stuff

• Updated Methos .plan page
• Added 1 demos to the Quake Demos page
• Spookie'a page has been updated with his review of Unreal

Unreal Patch v1.01 Released
In record time (same day as release), Epic has released a patch for Unreal. The difference between this release by Epic and a release by id Software is that this one isn't a bug fix. The Unreal v1.01 patch (235 KB) enables you to launch Unreal Internet games through your browser.

Unreal v1.01 update patch is now available! This update allows players to join multiplayer games by clicking on links to "*.unreal" files from their web browser. ".unreal" files are simple ini files which tell the player's machine the location and port the server is running on. Links work in both MS Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator (v2.0 and above).

For more information, visit Epic's Unreal Site.

Another Unreal News Day
It's finally out. The much anticipated game from Epic MegaGames: Unreal was released in North America today. All other English speaking countries will be released in the next few day and other languages should be out in about a week. The early reviews on the game are very good.

• Quote from John Carmack's .plan today... "Congratulations to Epic, Unreal looks very good"

• Unreal shareware version to be released after E3 (in about 2 weeks)

• There's an OGR's Unreal first impressions review available.

• Word from Epic on copy protection, "you'll have to have the CD in the drive when you start the game". You can remove it after the game is started.

• Spookie has posted a review of Unreal on "The Spookie Side". I'm not quite sure but I think he likes the game. :)

Windows 98 Release Update
In a reaction to the September date for the liable suit in the USA. MicroSoft announced today that the new release date for Windows 98 will be June 15th, 1998.

New Look for Methos Quake?
In my quest for an animated button for the site, somebody has stepped to the front and volunteered their services. Chris "[TC]-Reaper" Tataryn who runs a company called Liquid Fusion contacted me today and had a button for me about 30 minutes later. He also mentioned that he would be happy to "upgrade" the rest of the graphics on Methos Quake and make it look "real purdy". Thanks Reaper, I owe you a beer.

Please use this button to link to my site.

Site Stuff

• Updated Methos .plan page
• Added 3 demos to the Quake Demos page
• Spookie'a page has been updated with his review of Unreal
• Tons of E-Mail today
• Updated Methos Links Page
• Added Methos Quake animated button to site

An Unreal News Day
Since people have waited so long for Unreal to become reality, the hype and anticipation has reached a fever pitch prior to tomorrow's official store release. The Unreal engine is going to be used sight unseen by three major companies including MicroSoft and Ion Storm.

I hope the game can live up to the great expectations. From what I've seen, the game has some very nice features and some rather poor ones. As I mentioned yesterday, you'd better have a PC with lots of horsepower to run the game.

PlanetUnreal Coming Soon
PlanetQuake announced today that they will be hosting PlanetUnreal as part of their vast array of hosted sites. Kudos to them, I hope the game lasts as long as the making of it.

Unreal Cheat Codes
Noticed this on BluesNews: Unreal cheat codes are out before the game is released. Not sure if they were changed since the beta release but you can get the cheat codes for Unreal here. To use the codes, hit <TAB>, enter the code, and hit <Enter>.

Site Stuff

• Updated Methos .plan file
• Answered another bunch of e-mail

Announcements Made Today

• GT Interactive announces that Unreal will be in the stores this Friday.

• id Software announces that Quake 2 Mission Pack: The Reckoning is finished and will be in the stores as soon as possible.

• Turok 2: The Seeds of Evil has been announced for a possible October release.

• AOL to buy ICQ from Mirabilis for $300 Million.

Intel Spread the Wealth
Intel Corporation will license their Pentium II technology to 3rd party manufacturers (OEM's). This means that we'll be seeing PII chips from AMD and Cyrix fairly soon. This announcement also means that we'll see lower prices.

Site Stuff

• Added 1 demo to the Quake Demos Page
• Updated Methos .plan file (please read this page from time to time)

Beta QuakeWorld 2.21 Servers
QuakeWorld 2.21 isn't released yet but, there are a couple of servers running the 2.21 code to test it out. You can connect to these using the QW v2.20 client.

r3v Clan Arena #1 128.95.25.94: 27500
r3v DM HELL 128.95.25.94: 27501

Unreal Goes Gold?
Rumor has it that Unreal has been accepted by GT Interactive and will be pronounced as gold (shipped to manufacturers) and might be in stores as soon as Friday. Better tune-up your computer, this one takes a lot of horsepower to run at a decent speed.

Site Stuff

• Updated Methos .plan file
• Spookie updated the "Spookie Side" (yeah, I couldn't believe it either :)
• Added 1 demo to the Quake Demos Page
• Answered too much e-mail

Further Conversation With Zoid
In the wake of my 5 a.m. conversation with Zoid yesterday, he announced today in his .plan file that QW v2.21 will be released soon. Version 2.21 will fix some "ugly bugs" and add some server options for the features in v2.20. This will include the option to enable or disable map crc checking. As of yet, no date has been set for the next QW version. Here are some excerpts from Zoid's .plan.

I'm working on 2.21. I hope to release it soon since there are some ugly bugs in 2.20 (such as random overflows on servers sometimes). There will be a server upgrade and a client one, but 2.20 clients and servers will be able to talk to 2.21, though I strongly recommend that everyone upgrade to 2.21 when it comes out.

For watervised maps, vis data is no longer included in the map checksum. The 2.21 server turns off checksums BY DEFAULT. Server admins can enable map checksumming by typing 'sv_mapcheck 1'. This map checksum is almost the same as before, except that vis data is not included in the check. This means that maps that just has the vis/portal information changed (for watervis) will pass the checksum test. Maps with hacked textures, removed walls, or waterhack will not.

Cool Site of the Day
If you view This Page with This Plugin, you'll see a 360 degree panorama view of Quake 2. You can look up and down, zoom in and out etc. It takes a while to download the picture on modem but it's still kinda cool. (obviously, I'm easily amused)

Activision Announces Q2 Mission Pack
Activision officially announced the second Quake 2 mission pack today. Quake II Mission Pack: Ground Zero will be published by id Software, designed by Rogue Entertainment (makers of the Quake Mission Pack: Dissolution of Eternity) and distributed by Activision. Ground Zero will include 5 new hubs, 15 new maps, new weapons and power-ups. It is slated for release this summer.

Site Stuff

• Updated Methos .plan page
• Added more demos to the Quake Demos page
• Added "Spotlight Demo of the Week" on the Quake Demos page
• LLamaNET finally got the Front Page account running for me again.
• Added "Channels" to Methos Quake. If you use IE v4.x, you can now click on "subscribe" in the navigation bar at the bottom of every page and you'll be notified of updates to the site.

New QuakeWorld v2.20 Released
id Software released QuakeWorld v2.2 on their ftp site (or any mirror site) a couple of hours ago. No mention of it on their web site or any other site so far. Go here to download the Client version 2.20 (1.96 MB) and the Server version 2.20 (238k). The Unix version is also available on the ftp site.

According to the readme file, a v2.2 server is required for the client to connect. This means you have to make sure your favorite server is already running v2.20. I also found out that if you're using GameSpy to connect to a server, it requires that you use GameSpy v1.53 which is included with QW v2.2

Conversation With Zoid
In my early morning conversation with Zoid, he was nice enough to answer a few questions. Some of the answer I got were as follows.

• This QW will NOT play .qwd demos recorded prior to this version
• Both server and client require the same vised maps
• Proxies that alter data in any way (such as FAQproxy) won't work. If you're stuck behind a firewall, you can use any UDP level based proxy such as NAD

Site Stuff

• Added 2 demos to the Quake Demos Page
• Another angry update to Methos .plan file

Quake and QW 3 Fingers' Tweak Guide
Updated to v1.18 of 3 Fingers' Ultimate Tweak Guide for GLQuake and QW is now available for download.

Phony Pentium II CPU Detector
This CNN article released yesterday talks about the growing number of illegally altered Intel processors. It also includes a program to determine the proper speed of your PII processor. If you have a PII, it's a good idea to check it out.

Windows 98 Delayed Release to OEMs
This article from CNNFN that Microsoft & U.S.A. reach deal describes the agreement between MS and the US Justice Department that will delay the shipment of Windows 98 to OEMs planned for today. This will allow time for last-minute antitrust talks with the Justice Department and state attorneys general. Microsoft said "this delay won't interfere with the software's June 25 release date".

g.o.d. Works In Strange Ways
Mike Wilson left Ion Storm so that he could "release original and professionally developed games". Well, yesterday, g.o.d. announced that it's first release will be Epic MegaGames' Jazzy Jackrabbit 2. Hmm, I can see why he left Ion Storm for that.

New Manbeater Arrives
Congratulations to John and Beth Romero on the birth of their new daughter. There is no truth to the rumor that they were going to name her KillCreek. The 6 lb 9 oz Lillia Antionette Romero was born on Tuesday night.

Cool Quake 3 Stuff
Want your say in Quake 3? OpenQuake conducted a survey for id Software and came up with the following lists. Final Suggestions for Quake 3 (already passed along to id), Quake 3 Wishlist and a voting page up on the Quake 3 Suggestions page to offer your suggestions.

Site Stuff

• Added a few really good demos to the Quake Demos page.
• Updated Methos .plan file
• Finally able to retrieve and answer some e-mail now that the LLamaNET servers are straightened out.

More Blahbalicious Funny Stuff
Some out-takes from Blahbalicious, the Quake movie that won nearly all the awards at the Quake Oscars a couple of nights ago. You can get the outtakes here (7.1 MB). I've seen them and although it's not a full movie, it's very funny.

New QBS Released
QBS ("cubes") v1.31 the system tray utility that keeps tabs on gaming news pages and .plan files is now available. You can now get immediate notification when your favorite pages are updated.

Site Stuff

• Decided this page was getting too large so I archived the page from prior to May 1st, 1998 and also prior to January 1, 1998.
• Added a wonderful demo on the Quake Demos Page.
• More bleating done on Methos .plan page.
• Added new winner for DM4 on the Quake's Best Players page.

Doom Done Quick Released
The QDQ guys are back. This time with Doom Done Quick which is a nightmare speed run of all four episodes in "The Ultimate Doom" in a time of 19:41. Although the site is very sketchy, you need the following to run the demo. Doom 1 (registered version), Doom 1 patch to v1.9 and The Ultimate Doom patch v1.9. You can download the patches from this page on id software's site. I wish they made Quake demos the same way they did in Doom as the total size of all 4 demos is 41k.

Site Stuff

• Updated Methos .plan file.
• Added 2 new demos to the Demos Page.
• Removed Methos Main Page from site. For some reason, people had a hard time understanding that it wasn't the Quake News Page. This page will now be the default starting page.
• More connection problems with Llamanet. Once again, they've disallowed FP webs so the site will again be maintained by ftp. (grrr)

3Fingers Quake2 Tweak Guide
The latest version of 3Fingers Quake2 Tweak Guide is now available on 3 Fingers' Web Site. It's pretty good stuff, go take a look.

Cool Daikatana Weapon Pics
Pictures of the Discus of Daedalus, Venomous, Poseidon's Trident, and the Hand of Zeus weapons from Daikatana can be seen on the ION Storm site. These weapons are from the Greek setting and are to show what will be in the Daikatana display at E3.

OGR Game Awards Handed Out
Online Gaming Review have announced their SpotLight Award Winners. I'm not sure how often these awards are given out (it didn't say on the site) or how they were voted on or even how they decided on the winners. Some of the winners and even the nominees raise a few eyebrows. Take a look and decide for yourself.

Everything You Wanted To Know About Methos
I have compiled and answered the most popular questions I get from day to day in my e-mail and posted it on my .plan update. Hopefully this answers the bulk of visitor questions. If you have any more questions, just send them along.

Site Stuff

• Added a few new demos to the Quake Demos Page
• Removed "Sniket" from the DM4 runner-up position on the Quake's Best Players page. Now looking for a replacement (any volunteers?)
• Updated Methos .plan file with an interview of me with questions from people who have visited Methos Quake.

Cool Quake Demo Utility
DemoPlay is a nice little Quake - QuakeWorld demo utility. If you like to watch Quake and QW demos but hate having to type in the filename, this util is for you. It also includes a few other functions such as slow motion, fast forward, super fast forward, pause and zoom. You can download it from the DemoPlay Home Page.

Quake's In Jeopardy Now
While watching a popular game show on TV today, Jeopardy, I was surprised to see and hear Quake being mentioned. In the category of "HI-Q" (all answers begin with the letter "Q"), the answer was "In 1996, id Software released this best seller shoot-em-up, and in 1997 released a sequel". The first contestant buzzed in and answered "What is Quake?". Cool stuff!

DirectX v6.0 Expected in July
MicoSoft announced today at the CGDC (Computer Gamers Developers Conference that DirectX v6.0 can be expected in July (shortly after Windows 98 comes out). Here are a couple of quotes from the official press release.

The next generation of Microsoft's set of multimedia application programming interfaces (APIs), DirectX 6.0 provides significant enhancements to existing APIs, optimizes hardware performance and delivers unparalleled multimedia functionality on Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT(R) 5.0 operating systems.

New features in DirectX 6.0 speed development by delivering greater stability, reliability and consistency across all APIs, enabling increased innovation in 3-D hardware and software.

Lightning Fast Motherboard Anyone?
Diamond Multimedia announced that their new 8 MB AGP Stealth II G460 motherboard is the fastest Intel740 based card on the block. (yeah but, can you over-clock it?)

A True Singles Apartment?
Ack!, I'm gonna be sick. Saw this blurb in Wired called Net Access via Apartment LANs that talks about a 600 resident apartment complex in Sunnyvale, California that has a hard-wired 1.5 Mbps line for Internet access shared by the apartments. Yeah, I can see guys trying to convince their girlfriend / wife to move in. "Honey, just think of all the money we'll save on modems. :)"

Site Stuff

• Added another demo to the demos page (more to come)
• More ranting on Methos .plan page

Thunder Clan Wins Gibfest '98
Clan TC (Thunder Clan) from Winnipeg, Canada cleaned up at FragFest '98 Quake 2 Tournament. Winning the CTF clan tournament and [TC]-SparHawk winning the dm 1on1 tourney. You can find a lot of info on their site (if you can figure out how to navigate the site). You can download the final Q2 1on1 demo here.

Site Stuff

• Added 3 more demos to the Quake Demos page.
• Some serious whining done on Methos .plan page.

John Carmack Laments Q2 Hackers
John Carmack of id Software updated his .plan with words regarding the "backdoor bug" in the Q2 server code and confirms Zoid's announcement of a new Quake 2 and QuakeWorld coming out soon.

The rcon backdoor was added to help the development of QuakeWorld (It is not present in Quake 1). At the time, attacking Quake servers with spoofed packets was not the popular sport it seems to have become with Quake 2, so I didn't think much about the potential for exploitation.
It was a convenient feature for us, but it turned out to be irresponsible. Sorry.
There will be new releases of QuakeWorld and Quake 2 soon.

Gibfest '98 Quake 2 Tourney
After a few hitches with power supply (told ya :), some faulty network cable, a server biting the dust and a couple of wonky network cards, FragFest '98 got underway. I was in attendance for a few hours and it was nice to see a lot of friends and cool people at the tourney. I'll post the results of the CTF and the 1on1 tourneys when I get the info. I should also be getting some of the 1on1 demos which I will add to the demos page.

Don't Forget About Us!
I received an e-mail from Stealth who plays Quake for a clan in Brazil called RH (Raising Hell). Among other things, he mentioned that a group of Quake players from Brazil were trying to get some sponsorship so they can travel to other countries and play clans like DR and [9]. I visited their clan site but it wasn't in English (Spanish or Portuguese I think) but I did like this graphic that was on their page.

The Reptile Speaks
Jim "Reptile" Dangcil of Clan DeathRow is interviewed on Methos Interviews Page. Well known as "the man that beat Thresh" and DM6 guru, Reptile has some interesting things to say including a Methos Quake scoop regarding a "possible" trip to Sweden for DeathRow to play against their number one clan, [9] Nine.

SciTech Display Doctor v6.52 Released
SciTech Software released v6.52 of their Display Doctor. Display Doctor is a universal video display driver for Windows 95. You can download it from the SciTech FTP site.

Hank Gets His Due!
Not Quake related but it had to be posted. People Magazine Online decided this year to let the public vote on their "Beautiful People Poll" then they would publish the winners picture on the cover. Because of Howard Stern's radio program and quite a few people on the net. Hank the Angry, Drunken Dwarf is leading the voting by a HUGE margin. People magazine has changed their mind and decided they would "list the winners" in an upcoming edition. The top 3 voting results as of 3 p.m. today were Hank the Angry, Drunken Dwarf, 198749 votes, Linda Comer, 9882 votes and Leonardo DiCaprio with 9437 votes. Go Hank!
